I would like to take this opportunity to declare that Signe is a lovely girl and not a zombie. Plus, the joke is so two weeks ago. I demand, on her behalf, that the zombie jokes cease and desist and that we hereafter only joke about her as a lovely fairy princess all aglitter and smelling of heliotrope.

I see you're one of them.

I'm sorry to hear that.

If you find the sudden compulsion to post threads about 'Magic Go!! Fairy Ninja Master Online', please call me.

I may be able to help.

Until then...

Sadly, I have to agree (except the fairy princess stuff).  The Signe = zombie stuff has been recycled frequently enough now that it's reached  a level of repetitiveness typically reserved for Chuck Norris jokes.  Please find new ways to make fun of Signe.

One of the areas of FFXI that I have been enjoying of late is the tank archetype. Every mmo out there, their tanking mechanics are exactly the same, same old sht, blood tanking. In FFXI you can play that role (paladin) or you can try out the Ninja class. W/o question, the Ninja class is unique and amazing in every way. Instead of having the most sta or agi, or having most HP or def the ninja tanks by actually… not tanking. Instead you use two blink spells to avoid taking damage, you have to actually time these spells. Using other ninja tools to actually debuff the mobs and even nukes.

The Ninja is of one class in FFXI, that there is nothing even close to it in other games. It’s one of many examples of SE and how they made this game unique.

I've been playing around with vegetables lately. I like asparagus. Its a very pretty green color, has a unique flavour, and on top of that - it makes my pee smell funny. Broccoli also gets a bad rap. While I prefer the firmness of cauliflower, broccoli is quite tasty in its own right. And zombie ninja pirates rule.

Testimonial:

Ninjas can kill anyone they want!  Ninjas cut off heads ALL the time and don't even think twice about it.  These guys are so crazy and awesome that they flip out ALL the time.  I heard that there was this ninja who was eating at a diner.  And when some dude dropped a spoon the ninja killed the whole town.  My friend Mark said that he saw a ninja totally uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window.


And that's what I call REAL Ultimate Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

To be fair, FFXI does have some very cool classes and the whole subjob thing makes it even more interesting. I'm just not hard-core enough after playing WoW to ever deal with that kind of grind again though.

What? You mean like a rogue evade-tanking in an emergency, like Razuvious in Naxx? How about Super Reflexes in CoH, or +Def stat in general? Nope, the idea of tanking by avoiding damage completely instead of soaking it is completely unique and has never been done before in any game, ever.

Vanguard had some pretty interesting classes as well.  That's not enough to make a game worth playing.

No i mean a tank, actually having to time shadows in order to evade attacks. this being hes only way of tanking or else he is dead. This is in now way even close to what you claim.

OK, I might be inserting some more outdated information here, but aren't FFXI ninja's really expensive to use as tanks? Don't all of those powders drain out the gil pretty quick?

Or is there just so much gil in the economy now that people just swim in it.
Or maybe those ninja tanking moves don't have material reqs anymore?

Just curious. People did used to ninja-tank back when I was playing, but it was infrequent due to the cost.
