Please tell me the floors are at least fixed to jump certain floors instead of random. Please please tell me because I would feel much better for just LOSING after getting to floor 95 with 5 MINUTES LEFT and going from 95 to 97 ALL ENEMIES and then going from 97 to 99!!!!! Ninety Nine!!! We got robbed, cheated, and trolled by you Square Enix. Its gonna feel so so sweet to hit 100 and win without cheating, but this is what drives people to use all sorts of tools just to freakin win. Despite having 30 seconds left after two 2 floor jumps from 95, we still went to 100 with 30 seconds left. If the floor jumps are fixed, and you put two 2 floor jumps after some very beautiful floors, then I hope some random guys kick you in the nuts.
P.S Gimmie my frickin Toci's Harness already <.<

You know that when you are on 95, there's only a 25% chance of hitting 100 on the next jump? You know when you are on 97, there's only a 50% chance of hitting 100 on the next jump? You didn't get lucky but your experience is typical.
when under 9floor from target it's no longer random(2,9) but random (2, target floor - current floor).
IMO it's a stupid "gift". SE should fix so any random that bring you over target just land you on target

That's the thing. You're supposed to go in and waste 30 minutes of your life trying to get to floor 100 and walk away with nothing.
In Tanaka's mind, the fact that you got that close is supposed to encourage you to go back and come up short again and again. It's a slot machine. You're supposed to "win" just enough to keep you playing. Any more than that is bad for the House. If this were Las Vegas, Tanaka would be a genius. Unfortunately for him this isn't Vegas, and unfortunately for us he's not a genius.

Well Tanaka gave me my Toci's This morning after 250+ tries. The raging beast is now just disgruntled.

You think that's bad? Try hitting 95 with 5 minutes remaining, getting a HUUUUUGE kill all floor, with weaponskills restricted, and 3 NMs one of which is Granite Borer, AKA mr high defense.
Then finally jumping to 99 with 30 seconds left.

Damn That sucks. Pain felt:( The shitty rules and restrictions on early floors are expected but to have those right at the end are just pure torture>.<

...torture...
You have discovered the true goal of FFXI's current producer.

as soon as you are floor 92+, the game keeps rerollign floorjumps if you overshoot floor 100. You should allways expect needing 2-4 floor clears for floor 92+. And yes its a shitty design.
