That's just silly...people don't invite RDMs!

Moogle's Law: In a pickup group, the number of people wailing on the NM is directly proportional to the undesirability of its TP moves.

Yes!

RDM soloing 2.0?

j/k (kinda), could be interesting. Just the idea of a BC where your rewarded objective is simply "Survive" as opposed to "Kill this guy" is cool to think about, since an all-out...

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

The 4-5 Empyreans is the main difference between your experience and mine, then, so I'll take what I saw with a grain of salt. The group I went with had (I believe) no Empyreans other than me, and I...

If you've got the manpower for it, yeah. I can understand the frustration at, essentially, doing the same fights with a different proc mechanic, but now it requires more people (e.g. Bellphoebe now...

If they just put out 3 new Abyssea expansions every other year, it would probably be enough content to keep casuals satisfied for the rest of the game's lifetime. In this instance, I don't mean...

An internet cookie to anyone who can 'shop up a picture of '90s-ified RDM AF. Page 1 material, that.

The day I leave out the Macarena is the day I stop wearing my baseball cap backwards!

Editing OP

A petition to change Red Mage to Rad Mage, and give out an Artifact Skateboard to every RDM of sufficient level. We would trade our defensive magic for the power of '90s slang and fashion, and our...

They should just go all-out and make a hardcore server where death is permanent--if you die it uninstalls FFXI and deletes your account*--weapons and armor break after a predetermined number of hits...

Pretty much, yeah.

On that note, does Scherzo/Migawari prevent Zantetsuken from K.O.ing you on Avatar/Einherjar Odin? (Never have done either)

It's bad if you're Whisker cleaving for KIs. All you want is Pearl Amber and enough Azure to not time out.

Throwing out some ideas I've had for party support spells and a (probably overpowered) ability:

Float (25MP, Recast 1:00, Cast time 0.5 sec, Duration 5 seconds. Enhancing Magic, Party Target)...

The word you're looking for is "drivel", not "dribble", Korpg. And BG tends to be reliable on this sort of thing.

How much dev time do you think this took to implement? Effects team has to make a spell animation...and...that's it. Multi-Strikes already exists as a buff in the game, so putting it on a Scroll in...

Interesting. I wonder what this means, since they already said they want to keep Enspells and Enfeebling separate.

Well, they did nerf RDM soloing and RDM tanking pretty badly (both were very liked by me), so forgive me if I'm a little sore at the idea that RDM shouldn't get anything awesome, since we've had...

If you need mage buffs other than your own Composured ones (A.K.A. on hard stuff), you'd hang back, like you already would. On stuff where you're not playing full-mage you can frontline, like you...

Honestly, I think only having to cast 2-3 buff spells every ~5 mins (with full +2 bonus) is a pretty huge casting load reduction. I like the idea of "nuking" an enemy's TP, or even MP on certain mobs...

Expanding on the above post, making Sphere buffs Single-Target (instead of Self-Target), but restricted to one per player (and party-only) makes a lot of sense. It's a different paradigm than BRD and...

Regarding Sphere-style buffs from earlier, they could either be restricted to buffs that aren't overwritten by debuffs (think Refresh or Enspell vs. Haste or Attack Up which can be overwritten by...

Fistule is so easy they might as well just put Discharges directly in Gold Chests.
