    I feel like we're prepping to dismiss this JP guys floor 200 solo clear before it's even been done.

    If they get floor 200 solo it won't be just pure luck, it'll be luck combined with knowing what they're doing and practicing it. Sure, the luck factor should be much less important, but 99% of players, even if they were even luckier than this guy, wouldn't be capable of making it as far.

    ya, theres a lot of knowledge behind. You need to know the rotation of almost every 150+ enemy, to be prepared for tank hits, you have to know which enemies to avoid at all, how they can detect you etc.

    90% of it is still luck tho :P

    We are not saying that you dont have to be good at the job but since people also tried to reach that high they know that its mostly luck. Nobody gets the same spawns or same rates of pomanders. If you dont get certain pomanders you wont survive certain bosses. Also the timer is one huge point too which can only be solved if you have certains pomanders with you otherwise you will run out of time and probably get one-shotted by some monsters. x)

    So sadly this is still mostly luck.

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.
