Everyone plays a game with goals in mind. In single players RPGs, the goal is simple, to win the game. MMORPGs can never be "won" though, sure you can beat the Shadow Lord, but there are harder creatures out there waiting for you.
There are plenty of things to do in FFXI; you can level crafts, get XP, get items, make money, garden, fish, etc.
So what are your goals in FFXI?
This is my list of things I want to do, in no particular order. Some are attainable, some are not, but these are things that I want to do.
- Level SMN, NIN, WAR, and DRK to 37 to sub to RDM for different occasions.
Do the Divine Might 18 person BCNM and get a Suppanomimi.
Acquire a full Crimson Scale set.
Acquire full AF2. (Remember what I said about unattainable goals?)
Get both and Enhancing Sword and Joyeuse to dual wield with my Ninja Sub and Suppanomimi while wearing full Crimson Scale set. (Because dual wielding RDMs in full Crimson are teh sacksay!)
Solo the following things with Ninja sub: the six Prime avatars, Serket, Aquarius, and any other HNM that I can get my grubby little hands on.
Quest for both Savage Blade and Evisceration.
Complete the Zilart Missions. (Still want to fight the Arc Angles.)
Start the Promethia missions. (Stupid Promyvions.)
Level all of my crafts to 60. Finish points for Cooking apron, and level another skill for glasses.
Get an Relic Sword and upgrade it to Excalibur for even more dual wield sexiness.
Become obscenely rich.
Level my Galka Benu to at least 41 as a RDM.
That is my boredom inspired list of goals. What are yours?
