Fondest FFXI and XIV Memories?

[Quintessa]

I was a lvl29 whm in FFXI on the boat to Selbina. Those who know about this boat probably knows where this story is going and how it will end, but still its my fondest memory.

There was a lv75 MNK on the boat, just us 2, he was a jp player.

Sea Horror spawns and he was fishing on the boat when it spawned. He switched to all his gear and proceeded to instill massive inspiration in me to go mnk. He stood his ground, and threw everything he at Sea Horror. Sea Horror is MNK NM octopus and about 20% health, yes he got it down that far, actovates Hundred Fists, the MNK 2 hr. The 75 MNK responded in kind and activated his own 2hr. I decided to help, I was a fledgling healer and at 29 all I had was Cure 3 as my strongest heal which is just tickle hp for a 75 MNK that has over 1100 hp, but I had to try. Most people just take the death, ddont fight back, Sea Horror has killed multiple alliances in FFXI's heydey and only NIN and RDM can stand up to it alone and win, but not this guy, he refused to go down without a fight. The fight was long, maybe 6-7min, the boat ride is 10.


I tossed as many Cure 3's til I ran out of MP. He dropped to the floor dead with sea horror at about 2%. I went next.

He thanked me in both English(translator) and Japanese for trying to keep him alive.
