What's your biggest frustration/regret from ARR? that thing you DIDN'T do or get?

As per title.

What's that thing you wanted to have done, but couldn't? Maybe you didn't get your Zeta, or didn't clear T13, didn't raise 100 million gil, or didn't get all jobs do 50, or didn't buy a house. All those things won't be done in ARR anymore, they'll have to wait for Heavensward, or be given up entirely.

So, what's your story? What are the grapes that your fox couldn't reach?

Mine are 2, mostly: One is never having cleared T9 (or T13). I really wanted to do it before Heavensward, even formed a static, but it was no use. Nael, you dame of pain, You'll only be bested by lvl 60 me. It's sad.

Also, not getting to crafting 3-star equipment. Too little money on my hands, too little knack for business. Will try to be a viable crafter again on heavensward, thoi. Wish me luck, hahah :D

I'm so mad I'm like, a week's worth of leves away from "The Reaper" title. Especially since I went like, four months or something not using any leves at all.

Didn't clear T9 myself.

I also didn't get NIN to 50 (got all other combat to 50 with i90 relics). I wanted to level up NIN in dungeons and leves so I could collect nice DEX gear for Machinist, but when they changed the Poetics cap to 900 that really pushed me to play max level content instead and I didn't have the time for it.

At least I got Zeta done for my main role (MNK).

For me, it's not participating in end-game.

After I beat T5, I just never bothered with Coil ever again. I couldn't find a static, and the one time I tried to make one, it fell on its face. It doesn't help that I'm in a FC of RL friends, while the one I want to join to actually experience the rest of the game would take me and them if they decide to merge, I don't know if the clown brigade would agree to that.

Then, there's the not getting into high-end crafting and gathering. I'm going to change at least the gathering part in Heavensward hopefully...unless I need melded gathering gear to even start participating. In which case, I'm screwed.

Dreadwyrm Cyclas of Scouting

Got every other piece for my off-Jobs, just not the one piece I actually wanted, for my main, from that fight. Not gonna miss this loot system at all.

I never did savage... well, not seriously anyway. I spent the last two-and-a-half months grinding MGP for Fenrir (which I don't at ALL regret), but I didn't spend any time working on savage. I really wanted "The Avatar" title to go along with my Fenrir. :P

Not getting into T9 sooner. >_> Was hoping to down it before HW.... If the level of progression in the fight remained at the rate it was going, but in there more often/consistantly ---- instead of derping other coils for robe and helping give clears and just doing other stuff --- I could have had it down already. z.z I hate when I procrastinate.

and not leveling my soon-to-fantasia Au Ra alt passed 20 (or was it 21....). >.> Coils and raids and trials and the Michael Bay pew pew pewing of end game content was more interesting than starting from scratch... again.....

And that damn HA healer robe still eluded me. =_=

That 3-star crafting is a significant gil sink. You're not missing much. But I enjoy being completely self-sufficient, and being able to "whip" up just about anything, for anyone, at any time :)

I wanted the demon set of casting/healing, of which i got many pieces, but i'm missing one or two items from each.

I also really wanted the Scylla set of casting.

And the Ironworks healing set.

Not playing it more frequently before I started up for good again in February (and even then I ended up re-rolling to a new server and a new character in late Feb/early March) - I'd level a character a bit, re-roll/remake, then go off and play something else for a while. On one hand, I likely wouldn't have ended up in my current FC, which I love...

But it means I didn't really have the time to finish a number of things that would have been easier to finish if I'd worked on them along the way, like getting more jobs to 50 or getting a couple of the Zeta weapons for my most liked classes.

I REGRET NOTHING!

The only regret I have is not realizing we could exchange soldiery for poetics after HW launches. So I grabbed my weathered set weapon (which granted, I needed the upgrade) instead of holding onto the 1.3k soldiery tomes. That could have been a great boost in poetics :(

Granted, I like the look of my weathered weapon so it's not a total lost. Still have about 4xx soldiery so I can grab a nice upgrade for something right from the start. Probably the boots of casting because they look awesome :D

There wasn't enough interest on Jenova to do Savage Coils for the longest time, so by the time we got started, we weren't able to finish the whole thing before the expansion came. We managed to finish T6, 8, and 9, but we were still working on the last phase of T7 right up until the servers went down for maintenance.

I don't know about the 2~3 other groups that were working on Savage Coil, but my group doesn't intend to go back and finish it since there will be a lot of other things to do in the expansion.

Trying to do things I didn't enjoy just to make my friends happy. The game's a lot more enjoyable when you just go at your own pace.

Yoichi Bow Zeta - was going to Zodiac #4 so not too bummed about it, just bummed to be reminded out how much fun I had playing bard.
Didn't Lucis all crafters and gatherers only managed 6 of the 11
Didn't clear Savage Turns

Didn't clear any savage turns, didn't go past artisan on gathering and crafting gear, and not getting my Dreadwyrm gloves and ring of healing along with the Dreadwyrm Cane.

My biggest annoyance is not getting a kill on Odin. Fate.
I still just every time it pops Hyperion just fails or we run out of time. lol

I genuinely regret taking about a year's hiatus from the game. Life just kind of happened, and though I had plenty of spare time playing FFXIV just wasn't a part of that. I regret not letting it be, because I did miss a lot of fun content while it was fresh. Working on getting my Artemis Bow upgraded all the way to Yoichi Zeta. Unlocking and leveling up Ninja sooner. Running all of those extreme modes when they were fresh, new, and genuinely challenging. The list goes on. But, eh, there's plenty of time to enjoy Heavensward and once I'm at a position I'd like to be in with my primary job I can go back to experience the things I had missed during ARR. It pleases me knowing that ARR's content seems as though it won't fall to irrelevancy as other MMO's tend to do with their older content. The level 50 stuff will still remain relevant, if at least to provide people with great gear for leveling 50 onward, storyline reasons, and so on and so forth.

My difficult choice is sticking with Bard as I have long-enjoyed, finding I enjoy Machinist far more and going with that, or even Astrologer or Scholar. I'm primarily a ranged DPS in FFXIV as it was a promise I'd made to myself (I have played the healer or tank for many years in MMO's), but I do play a healer as a secondary job for the sake of fun and quicker queues. I enjoy Scholar very much so, but am also looking forward to Astrologer's mechanics. So, we'll see!

I didnt get my supra fishing rod, I didnt catch all the fishies. And none of the 40+ ninja betta I desynthed gave me the minion :(
My fc mate bought me one cause I was such a sadface

Still need a few Lucis tools, didn't clear Savage Coil. Nothing I can't go back and do now.

that thing you DIDN"T do or get from ARR?

hmm COOKIES and PIES they all LIES...dam u internet.

Still didn't clear T13, my Monk is the only job that didn't level max yet :(

It's a long list for me u.u

Get crafting tools beyond artisan, complete the main storyline past 2.0 (not even done with 2.1), do the infamour coils, get ponies, do a lot of dungeons and trials, complete the Hildibrand questsa dn a lot more things I'm forgetting

Not getting my Loginus for Dragoon, I know I can still get it but I'm going to be busy doing the new content

- With over 100 T13-kills I still don't have the DRG Weapon. I have literally anything but not this weapon. And I wanted to have it so badly ._. .
- My fisher is sitting on lvl 17, I think. There goes my plan to raise all classes to lvl 50 before 3.0...
- I couldn't finish my second Zeta due to bad dungeon-item-drop-luck and thanks to my exams in college. At least I still managed to raise it to il125.
- I really wanted to clear T8 and T9 savage (3/4 then for me) but since my static had no time or ambition to really do that content... We only tried them for one evening, literally two hours only, getting to the 5th set of T8 and P4 of T9. So close, but so far OTL.

Clear T13. Only saw final phase once, and we only wiped because I forgot about the tethers from the video. Never saw final phase again, and a lot of groups had a hard time getting to add phase sadly.

Not ever actually crafting a 4* item, despite having 2 4* classes. And not bothering to level all to 4*.
Not buying Diamond Tear for the Ice Barding before they started going up in price recently.

Not having the time to properly prepare my alt for Heavensward.

Not getting my retainer a Lucis.

I'm not sure. Maybe not following my static to Gilgamesh. I had good reasons not to, and maybe I was right to stay. They left soon after we first stepped in t12. I tried many times to find another static but couldn't find one with my schedule. More than 3 months later, the most I've seen of t12 is 6%. Then tank had to go eat dinner. Last thing I did before the servers went down for HW was trying to beat it. Didn't succeed. If I'd gone with my then static I would've cleared t13 long ago, but we never know the outcome of our choices when we have to make them.

I'm okay with everything else because I've met all of my other goals.

I successfully healed turn 13 and beat him. And I got my healing robe.

I felt accomplished after that.

Regrets? I spent what little money I had and didn't save because I KNOW there are going to be beautiful vanities I want and can't afford ;-;

I never caught that god damn Titanic Sawfish.

Oh, sure. I am literally going to log in wearing max melded Forager's gear, fully melded accessories, and the Halcyon Lucis. I caught the Legendary-tier fish.

But Titanic Sawfish eluded me for ARR's entire lifespan. It just never happened.

Also I suppose not making a more serious effort to get into Savage Coil; I got to go in once, but that was it. Ah well.

Not clearing all the Beast man quest. I became such a slacker this past couple of months.

I never got my caster ring from T10. It's all needed to get SMN to i130. Being PLD main for my static didn't leave me with much time to get some of the caster loot I was after.
Beyond that, I actually think I'm good. There were things I didn't do sure, but I don't regret not doing them, nor does HW preclude me doing them. (The fact I'm lazy does. XD)

didnt have enough time to do story and do other things so im only done Crystal tower and no further there, only did the first 3 ex primals, and did 0 coils of bahamut

T13 clear. but its not all that bad. I'll get it easier in HW probably.

Dont have 1000000000000000000000000000000000 gil like it seems half of the world on the forums has.

not that I care really, I haven't needed anything worth more than the gil i have yet. Im able to provide for myself without crafting or selling much on the markets.

Didn't get the Fenrir mount.

Course I can keep saving for it, but I wanted it before expansion. Farming MGP off the imperial is so boring though.

Hmm let's see hard to say. I guess clearing t13 would have been nice but due to real life and stuff we only got to adds in t12 but still at least we have something to work towards while waiting on alexander, would have been nice to have cleared at least one savage turn. Other than that finished all the quests(even feast of famine), got 2 zeta's and 1 zodiac, got Kirin(thanks to a friend that was going after them all and I was helping her out), got 3 lucis tools, 2 supras, got foragers and artisans gear, got 1 4 star crafter and sitting on 1 mil gil. So quite happy where I'm at now.

Beating turn 9 after echo and not doing T7 and 8 at all.

Didn't play much between 2.4 and 2.5. Still have a couple of hours worth of quests left before I can even access Heavensward content.

I hardly did coil, hopefully I'll still have a chance to finish it.
