What helps you relax in Vana'diel after a stressful ls event or just to pass time without going into "grrrrrrage mode"? Mine happens to be fishing without worrying about skill. Can npc/ah my catches. Zones with music really help out, but I do know a lot of people who mute the game and listen to their own stuff lol. But I'd like to know, what is it that you find relaxing about ff11? ^^

Lol, I ripped Silverhook a new one not long before the servers were taken offline earlier ths month. No drop, but then again WHM is staying at sub-level :)
Was always enjoyable to Fish/chat with friends in Sarutabaruta and Windurst. We chose those places as they had the most relaxing music. On occasion we would travel to Mhuara and ride the boat a couple times 'round trip. Also enjoyed hanging out in the Hostel at Aht Urhgan Whitegate. Thanks for this thread by the way, it's always good to chat about things that bring good ol' memories back.
I also enjoy spending hours making up a mastery macro system

Hmm.....Hmm....Tsu is crazy....Hmm...
I would have to say helping other people with their stuff, so long as they follow directions.
Other than that, probably walking through Zi'tah to sky or La Theine (until a Tremor Ram sneaks up behind you and attacks because you shouldn't be in La Theine at Level 9).
Sky's see-through floors that disrupt when you walk on them, also relatively calming, unless you think the floor is going to break.

Anyway, I doubt any reproducing would happen even if she makes it. Bill? Awesome but, old, plus he dies. Francis? Clearly gay. Louis? Probably dead, if not, I don't know, he's still useless, not an ideal person for repopulating the Earth. So we have to choose from L4D2, Ellis? No, refer to Louis reasoning. Rochelle? Awesome, do it, she looks like a man anyway. Nick? Too negative. Coach! Of course! I would want to be part of that human race.

I love soloing, whether it be on my BST, my NIN, or my SMN. There's something about that pride in being able to do something with no support, using the work I put in to get my job up to its current standards, that really is relaxing. It's also a good stress relief after dealing with a poor shout group to know I can go kill the NM myself, sans a good number of triggers.

If I am just looking to relax, I will often just fiddle with my macros, clean my MH out and organize my inventory, get around to AHing gear, or go shopping.
If I am looking to destress, I kill yagudo. I will head back to Windy, OP out to Saruta, walk into Giddeus and /sea. If there is no one there but me, I will walk from one end of the zone to the other and slaughter them mercilessly. While the drops are nice icing, the cake is merely the look on their stupid faces when the boogymithra comes calling.

Listening to the shouts in Port Jeuno, or wandering aimlessly around Al'Taieu or some other zone with nice scenery.

I find helping folk out is kinda relaxing, or at least, when you're not going too fast paced at it and they listen to what you say, mistakes happen and it's a part of the fun as making mistakes is all a part of the learning process. (I find if you wind up dead people are really apologetic, but it's not as if I can't regain that exp with 5 mins in Aby)
But actually, me playing the game itself is meant as a means of winding down, I don't find it stressful in anyway when you play with decent folk - it's annoying when people are d-bags, but I do most things with my Linkshells and it's rare for me to actually meet one. I don't see how anybody can be a d-bag on here, it's only a game, I can think of people when things have gone according to plan go around calling others 'noobs' and obviously, these people fail at life. Shit happens and it's apart of the fun. :)

I seriously need to get around to doing that, thank god for the Porter Moogles/Mog Sack though :D
Recently found a new stress-release in the form of Monk lol, punching your troubles away on fiends across Vana'diel is quite soothing. There's just too many punching bags....I mean, mobs so the relief seems neverending ^^

I was gonna say Skilling up... but nah... to be honest... it's actually killing stuff on WAR. o.o After all these years, my most relaxing pass time is smashin' stuff. And yeah, this is after the LS event is over ^^

Pounding on Flamingo's in Sky (on MNK) with my Pole of Trials, no thought involved, just smack, smack, smack, WS, smack, smack, smack, WS, go make a sammich, get a drink, come back, rinse and repeat. :)
