I just got my grubby mitts on it today. I, too, am enjoying it.

I'm actually pretty surprised at how nice the graphics are. I wasn't expecting a PSP game to look that good.

That's from an anime OAV of Chrono Trigger! Well, the audio anyway.

I have a lot of KS which I'd be willing to do Double Dragonian with, since that can net either a Subduer (which I want) and a Heart Snatcher (which Ketsookie wants) all in one convenient (?) battle. And since I don't have Monk anywhere near 75 I don't need to really save them for anything else.

I must concur. February is indeed an awesome month.

That is my impartial opinion.

Throw in some Final Fantasy XI, Halo 3, Guitar Hero II and III someplace.

You silly people and your macros... I can't imagine ever filling out 20 sets of 20 macros no matter how hard I tried.

If you use the Windower, depending on which version you have there are plug-ins that will change what your character looks like just on your screen.

I think there are other ways, but this is the only one I've had experience with.

I love that baby.

Don't feel too bad. This new picture is much better.

I used to go to Datamax's Flickr site, but it's not longer around for some reason. I'm trying to find some other good sites where I can find all sorts of widescreen wallpaper.

Can anyone recommend a site or two?

Areya, you have to level this job if only because it's your character model in the picture.

Oh, by the way, the article is at:

If that matters to anyone.

Dancer, perhaps?

/joy:


Maybe you can find it in your heart to use this one without mirroring it:

Oddly enough, there are no identical twins (not counting hair) up in the new header... so far.

That's Sheilah with the nomad moogle cap, by the way.

Did you forget that I kindly requested for the /hurray pose or did it just look too obnoxious-looking?

I have come to the realization that /joy only looks good animated. So if I can't have /hurray can I have the Bastok /salute or the last part of /cheer (where the fist is raised high)?

Some thoughts occurred to me:

1) Do we actually have to kill the BLU or can we just take the gear down to 50% in the first part of the battle?

2) Can /DRK Stun actually stun the BLU's Eyes on Me?

Anyway, on to the responses.

I can only do Aerial Armor so much so it's hard to time it right for that Eyes on Me.   I'll try to get it as soon as I see him using Azure Lore though.  I think that when we had Ryu tank that BLU guy, Eyes on me went through shadows.  Oh right, how much was that other WS he was using hit you by the way? 

I know I blinked the move. Areya even noticed it. I was thinking more of blinking it with a more reliable(?) Utsusemi. I can't imagine the move going only through Utsusemi and not Blink. But I suppose SE could be that evil. But Shield Bash and potentially Weapon Bash stuns work really well to interrupt his casting. I've noticed him be interrupted normally with melee hits and even interrupted by paralysis.

As far as the WS... Circle Blade just has vicious range, but the damage is not too bad for me as a paladin. It probably wipes shadows, being an AoE type move. Although technically it's physical, so it can miss (normally) and Sentinel can reduce damage. For some retarded reason Seraph Blade can do more than 600 damage. I'm thinking this might be an effect of Azure Lore, but I'm not exactly sure. It's an elemental WS, so Magic Attack Bonus does increase damage. His MAB can be stacked really high or made really high when he uses Azure Lore.

QuoteWiki says that Divine Judgment is physical(maybe wrong) but if it is, can it be Invincibled?  Not sure if Sentinel can mitigate Radiant Sacrament.  But if it can and you haven't tried, maybe use that around 50% when he uses Radiant Sacrament so that you can survive Divine Judgment?  Could be wrong about this whole thing of course.

I know Sentinel works with all his TP moves, and his spells are really weak. So the only real threat in that fight is Divine Judgment. I don't know from experience if Divine Judgment is indeed physical. I guess I could just do a shot in the dark and use Sentinel around 50% and hope he uses Divine Judgment. The problem is that he doesn't give me enough of a cue for Divine Judgment. And with Invincible and Sentinel only lasting 30s each, I would hate to guess and then be totally off. I really don't like this insta-cast B.S. when they can dish out more HP in 1 sec than most players would normally have.

Eyes on Me is just plan hax once he uses Azure Lore. However, it can be blinked as Aerial Armor sucked up a few the last few runs. That could be one way of mitigating damage form that move. Although the last form hits hard and fast, so a NIN tank needs to have shadows up constantly. It makes me regret not having PLD/NIN as an option.

Divine Judgement only one-shots me because he tends to do like Radiant Sacrament and then Divine Judgement right after. I can survive the move normally at 100% hp, but he tends to precede it just enough damage where Divine Judgement can one-shot me. However, I did notice that it is possible to have Divine Judgement only hit the tank if positioning is good.

I really do think that strategic wiping on our first attempt (well, it seemed strategic in hindsight) is what got us the win. Everyone dying at the same time seems to limit our down time to 5-6min rather than 5 min for me then 5 min for next DD then another 5 min for WHM, etc.

Hot & Cold in Buburimu!
