I got a little package from Asia today. Inside was this nice little box! And what possibly could it contain? :D

You prolly guessed right ^^
The Tarutaru Trading Arts Trading Figures! ^_^/

Here all 4 of 'em ^_^/
From left to right: Robel-Akbel, Ajido-Marujido, Star Sibyl and last but not least our beloved Shantoto (mhahahahaha!)

But wait! Doesn't it say that there are 5! Yea! There are! There's a secret one in there ^_^
In order to keep the surprise I only post it here with a spoiler-warning. If you think you want to see it, click on the warning below ;3

Now I can have a 'little' fun with my new Tarutaru X3

We had a nice Dynamis Xarcabard run last Tuesday. We were just faring a lil and getting used to the time-nuke and stuff. When suddenly the BLM-Hat dropped! And I commented it! With the highest bid in our bid-points-system! :D

So I was allowed to solo lot the hat! :D

And got it ^^

I want to thank again the awesome RelicWings Dynamis Linkshell! ;3
5/5 on BLM-Relic now, since we don't do dreamlands (yet) :D

Oh and sorry, totally forgot to make good pictures this time XD

I was leveling my SMN a lil in Tahrongi Canyon yesterday/today. Then I suddenly noticed that there were kinda many ppl with Chocobos around all of a sudden... I didn't quiet know what was going on.. maybe an ally after a proto fight?.. hmmm...

Then I got a few server-messages that some Mog-Tables were found! So that should it be, they're all searching for these Mog-Tables...... hmmm....

Sure... I'm not that lucky mostly and I also didn't have a Chocobo right then... but... hey, it was worth a try, and I just went out and looked a lil if I find one XD

And... WOW.. I did .. lols!!

So I went to Jeuno to get my reward :3

I got a Kupofried's ring like all other finders and because my tablet was the Tablet of Courage, I also obtained an Argent Coat!

Here the ring :3 Very handy right now with my new leveling-urge ;D

Plus here the "cheapest" secondary reward, the Argent Coat. Fits me :3

I hope, everyone will once find such a tablet!

Just wanted to remind everyone that today is the last day to order the DogTag, the second item of the FFXI Players' Collection.

Square Enix did have a little problem a few weeks ago and stopped the sell of that item for about two weeks. So maybe they will delay the deadline.. but I doupt that ^^;

I myself was able to order one already thanks to a great friend :3 Thanks Ghil! Just waiting for it to arrive...

I guess I might should make a little update here XD Okay, two things are to say:

Firstly, you may noticed that I no longer post news from the official FFXI-page. I decided that because you now are able to subscribe to a rss from the official page! So you get the updates there even faster then watching my rss ^^; However, my posts will still be in mine ;3

About why I didn't update lately, just because I didn't do much special. Mostly just Limbus and Dynamis and nothing more :/
I am just a little too busy right now. But I hope this will change soon back to a lil more gaming ^^;

So sorry for the lack of updates. I'm still here, I still play and enjoy the game, I just have a lil less time to update this blog XD

Woho, time for Dynamis again :D

This time we went to Dynamis-Beaucedine. Not for the first time, it was already the 3rd ^^; But this time I have some nice stuff to write :D

Everything started great, as we planed it. The moon was only about 20% but wtf, we are always so lucky with AF Drops XD

Already the first six pulls brought us one BLM and one SMN. During the run we also got RNGs, NIN, MNK, DRG, DRK, COR, BLU and maybe more, but I forgot XD

But two more I remember really good because I could lot them :D
One was BLM which I got with the awesome lot of 990! XD

The second is the PUP body. Actually I lost this lot. But Jayy, the other lotter, said he has Mirke body and wanted to give it to me since I can use it better :3 Thanks a lot Jayy ^^/

So this means, I'm not 4/5 on BLM, if I only count the AFs from Cities till Xarca which our LSs is doing.
Oh, and up here a nice group shot before we went down to the mega boss.....

What an eye...

When we tried it the first time we failed, although we didn't really know why. But this time we focused more and we got it! :D
Two AFs and Beaucedine clear on one day! :D

And not just that! We fast dropped the glass after the kill and went in again for farming.

And we really managed it to get to the Hyrdas!
Okay.. they didn't drop anything more then currency.. but hey, killing Mega Boss and farming on Hydras and that with only about 25 ppl! looks like we're good ;P

Okay then, next time we wanna go to Xarcabard. So let's see what it will bring us ;3

It's time once more for that most breathtaking and bewildering of Vana'diel's annual observances-the Buffalo Blitz! Why do otherwise sensible individuals risk life and limb by intentionally incurring the ire of these belligerent bovine beasts? The answer might not be what you expect...

For the full story-and details on how to hurl yourself heroically into the fray-just read on!

The "Silver Dog Tag" - the second product in the Final Fantasy XI Players' Collection line of premium accessories designed to bring you closer to the world of Vana'diel - will soon be available for purchase! Consummately emblazoned with the flag of your nation of allegiance, each dog tag can be further customized with character name and world of residence to ensure complete exclusivity for its owner.

Product name: FINAL FANTASY XI Original Silver Dog Tag

Order placement period: September 24 (Thurs) - November 24 (Tues), 2009

Available exclusively via the Square Enix Online Shop for a limited time only.

Price: $ 106.99

The Tokyo Game Show will approach from the 24th till the 27th of September. So far there's not much available about will be shown. Except Square Enix, they opened their site today which shows what they will present on the Tokyo Game Show 2009.

One game that will be shown there is FFXI. We don't know what they will show, but since SE just recently announced the Vana'diel Collection volume 2 which features all addons including all three additional scenarios, it's most certain that we will get some news about "A Shantotto Ascension"!

Also the fact that Tanaka-sama was wearing something like a dogtag showing the flag of bastok on the latest Famitsu Wave's DVD, it could be possible that we get some more informations about this new piece of the Final Fantasy XI Players' Collection! (in case it is really related to that ;3 )

Well who knows? We will in a few weeks :3

On the latest Famitsu Wave's DVD is a little video featuring Hiromichi Tanaka and Hirokazu Hamamura. They are talking about Final Fantasy XIV and having a lot of fun doing so.
why I put this into the FFXI section you may ask? Take a closer look at Tanaka's necklace! Normally he's not the type of person wearing necklaces but this one... let's zoom closer...

Does this not look like... hmmm..

Yes, the bastok flag!
And it has a similar shape as a dogtag.. could it be?!
One year ago we had the Tidal Talisman, the first piece of the Final Fantasy XI Players' Collection. Back then they said that there will be THREE pieces all in all. Nothing was said for the third one, being a surprise. But the second one will be something like a name- or dogtag!
So it looks like they finally are starting to make something new :D

However, thus far there's nothing we know really about this. It may could also be just any other tag.. But since it's Tanaka-sama wearing it, who knows ;3

And now the speculations can begin, what could be the ingame item? XD
