============

Fourth game of the series. The first three games were simply depressing, so I decided that it would be pointless to upload them. After the first three rounds of lopsidedness, Sayomi senselessly blamed his team's losses on equipment, claiming that they couldn't do anything against us due to our higher defenses. Heeding his accusation, my team decided to remove our head, body, hands, legs, and feet pieces, subtracting well over 100 defense in gear. For whatever reason, Ryolen, who was on the opposing team, wanted to join our 'no pants' party, but regardless of our nude play, the results of the match were still the same.

This is my story~

Like most FFXI players, I cherished the many challenges of the game since I first started playing, from completing the subjob quest to limit breaks. After hours upon hours and days upon days of tedious play, I finally reached the maximum job level, found myself a loving linkshell, and was able to participate in the endgame events in which I always dreamed of doing. However, those endgame days were short lived and slowly faded away, as I found a new purpose of playing FFXI.
I found Ballista.

When I first started playing, it was a blast, killing friends and foes on the blood-stained battlefield. It was an experience like no other. Of course, it wasn't always fun and games. I had my share of the bitter taste of defeat several times, but that didn't stop me from playing. In fact, those defeats motivated me to improve as a player. Over time, though, as new features were introduced to the game, the majority of the few who played Ballista gradually returned to endgame. I admit that even I did. Soon, the thought of Ballista escaped my conscious mind, but I always had a feeling that it was still lurking somewhere within my cloud of thoughts.

I was bored one day, browsing through many different sites on multiple windows of Google Chrome: Facebook, Gmail, Youtube, Redtube, etc. Somehow, I ended up doing a Google search for Ballista and came across a variety of Ballista videos. Most of them were of seemingly senseless '1 on 1 duels', but I stumbled upon some that just blew my mind away. They were from a Ballista LS known as BallistaRevolution, and from there, I was linked to their LS website. I discovered something completely out of the ordinary. Ballista teamplay? There are actually people who do this?

Immediately, I became a fan of their work and wanted to join their Ballista community. Although we were on different servers, I paid the transfer fee and hopped over to theirs without any regret. At first, I was a bit hesitant to speak with them; they seemed to play at an entirely different league than what I was used to. Eventually, I summoned what little courage I had at the time and went for the touchdown. Talking with them turned out easier than I originally thought. After introducing myself, my motives, and goals, my chances of joining their LS seemed more than likely, or so I thought. My Ballista aptitude was tested... rook guard, hyper, third eye ws dodging.. sprint ws dodging, poison>sleep timing.. communication... it was like a game within a game, but rather one so much deeper.

Currently, I'm a proud member of BallistaRevolution, a well-respected LS within the Ballista community.


I just wanted to share with everyone my passion for Ballista, and how those varieties of events influenced me.

I realize that this post is fairly long and completely understand if it was skimmed, but regardless, I humbly thank you for your time in hearing me out.

For anyone kind enough(or bored enough!) to click on this thread, I thank you =)

Similarly, I would like to pose a few questions apropos~

1) Were you aware that FFXI has a PvP system?
2) Do you enjoy PvP style gameplay?
3) Do you have a "Ballista License"?
4) Have you ever tried Ballista?
4a) What did you not like about it?
4b) What did you like about it?
5) Would you support a Ballista update, or would you rather prefer a new PvP system?

Thanks for reading, and consequently answering any question(s)!

Two respectable Japanese players opinion on NA Ballista players.

This is so wrong haha. NA don't "win" at Ballista because all they want to do is kill each other (epeen etc.). This is not because they don't know how to play, but because this is all they want to do, which makes perfect sense to me. If I'm going to engage in PvP, I don't care if my team wins the match, I only care if I'm better than that other guy who might be better than me. Apparently JPs actually care about winning.
