You guys can say whatever about this game dying, new content being bad etc. but I play FFXI for around 18 years and it can still give me adrenaline rush and makes me jump out of chair with satisfaction.
I was boxing Fu, but died (trying to gear up some new alts). I only had reraise on my main (BLU). I decided, that I will just try to solo it for fun (without trusts). I wasn't really expecting to win, but who cares. I changed spells a little to have refresh for both small mp regeneration and mostly to have some more non lethal buff that Fu can take with Ebullient Nullification. I had no plan beside that at all, so I was trying to adapt on the spot. At one point I was a little low on mp, so I switched to club to make few Moonlights. When it started using -ga, I mostly stopped using Occultation (beside for Ebullient Nullification) and only used White Wind to heal myself. I also managed to use Mighty Guard after ~50% and 10% Ebullient Nullification and also I used Tourbillion at 50% to push it as fast as possible to 25%.
I killed it with 30 sec remaining.. Niqmaddu dropped (exactly what I wanted). I switched to warp ring and tried to warp, while at the same time I tried to HP on other chars, to only leave WAR alt there, who needed the ring. My main char zoned out at 3 sec remaining..
It had 78/80 inventory.
My hands were shaking for good 5 minutes. It was also my birthday today and because of many random events I couldn't really celebrate it at all, but now I'm going sleep with a big smile on my face and that's solely thanks to this awesome game. So haters gonna hate, but for me FFXI is still the GOAT.
