In addition to the community-aspects others have noted, the combat system is a bit slower-paced and extremely strategic. The jobs(classes) are all extremely unique and the sub-job system allows you to play them differently as needed. You can switch jobs on one character so you really grow attached to your specific character rather than making different characters for different classes.

You can swap-gear mid combat which gives you a lot of situational flexibility that makes it feel like you’re actively contributing to your success or failure. As an example you might have a set of great for a specific ability, or switch to defensive gear if you draw the enemy’s attention.

Additionally, the story is really nuanced and the side-characters are often very realistic in their choices, motivations, and there is a sense of consistency throughout the world that really makes it feel “lived-in” in a way a lot of other MMOs don’t bother with.

Honestly I could go on and on. It’s just a really special world and will stick with me for life. Even a few years out from playing I still get the itch to go back constantly. Vana’diel is like a second home for me.

FFXI ruined all other MMORPGs for me, because there is nothing like it and probably never will be again.

Wait shouldn’t it all be 1s in this case? Like no way this is a surprise.

No dude you mixed some numbers up - 5%/yr of 440 billion is 22 BILLION dollars per year.

Unless you meant he could put 0.1% of his wealth (440 mil) to pull 22 million a year.

In fact, he could out less than half of his total net worth, 200 bil, into a basic savings account returning 0.5% a year and live off of a billion dollars a year, which is equivalent to the median income of 16,666 others.

Final Fantasy XI and it’s not even close.

Jesus fucking Christ.

It does benefit him - people will be more likely to break the law for him if they know they will eventually get away with it.

Ah, over here in Montana both the senate and western district house race are HAMMERING Trans people like high school sports is the most important thing in the entire world. Absolutely pathetic. Makes me sick.

Montana?

Gotta keep them women in line.

women get in voting lines

No not like that!

How soon we forget the hurricane in Puerto Rico, some of Trump’s wise words:

“The response and recovery effort probably has never been seen for something like this. This is an island surrounded by water. Big water. Ocean water.”

It’s genuinely nuts. The only thing I watch with ads is Jeopardy, and it’s not an overstatement to say there are some breaks where every single ad is a political ad. Maybe you get one or two other ads ever.

Thankfully, I record it through Jellyfin and just skip the ads. But it’s absolutely ridiculous.

I mean, you are reading a Rolling Stone article written by her.

Not that I agree with the DNC’s point of view here, but it’s not like they cut out her tongue.

Government doing stuff is communist

I will never be able to!

Bastion is one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever played, both art-wise and theme-wise. The entire end of the game was just chills and tears for me.

I think it is specifically a meat-burger

In Montana, a battleground senate state, we basically have two political ads from the R side

1. IMMIGRANTS are BROWN

2. TRANS people playing SPORTS

It’s literally so fucking tiring.

Yeah she didn’t let him mince words the way he wanted to.
