Fan Fest fights!!!

[docvicious]

Well after putting it off for so long, Ill be doing these fights this weekend anyone got some advice?

[Dreampainter]

You know i'm interested in any experiences with these as well. I have all the items from fanfest in my storage and i really should try to get rid of them.

I totally thought this was going to be something else because of the thread title.

Same here. FFXI players fighting each other (over something .... say RDM melee) at a Fan Fest ... I'd pay to see that.

Would the "big guy" be tank?

Just like when you went at Fanfest they Stellar Fulcrum BCs are capped at 60 with no subjob, not sure about the Assault one since I've never done it.

I've done two of the battles myself since I've come home from Fanfest.

The Assault one is a five minute kill as many mobs as you can. Think of it as Blitzkrieg on crack. You have basically instantly respawning mobs that die in one hit. You also have 20 HP/tic Regen, 20 MP/tic Refresh, and 20 TP/tic Regain. You get the title Bloody Beserker if you clear...I wanna say 40. Think my group killed 80ish. We had a standard party setup, but you could go in with 6 melee and annihilate it. No level cap, no sub restriction.

The other one my group did was Heroes Combat against all three of Volker, Ajido, and Trion. My setup for that was PLD MNK RNG RDM WHM THF. One thing to remember about this fight (And Heroines Combat, and Mercenary Camp) is that you're capped at 60 and have no subjob. The order we killed in was Ajido > Volker > Trion. We had our THF kite Trion around, PLD held Volker, and MNK Hundred Fisted Ajido.

No tips on Heroines Combat because I've never tried it.

Mercenary Camp, the only comment I have is don't listen to the group next to you when they say "Kill Galahad first!" Mihli will wake up and cure him to full. >_> Oh, they come at you one at a time, the next one coming when the first is at 20%, kind of like the Promyvion-Vahzl mission fight.

Yes, my group took advice from people sitting next to us instead of going with my own plan, which was to kill Mihli first. =(

Haven't gotten to doing them myself. Wanted to know if you actually get anything for winning? If not just gonna grab some friends and have some fun, if so gotta make a strategy D:

[Achika]

Each one gives you a title.

Heroes Combat gives the title "Superhero."

Heroines Combat gives the title "Superheroine."

Mercenary Camp gives the title "The Sixth General."

The assault one that my mind is drawing a blank on the name for gives the title "Bloody Beserker."

Am I the only one who thought it was pretty retarded that SE never made these into fights that were open to everyone and possibly added rewards even?

[Dreampainter]

well i can understand them wanting to reserve these fights and the titles for those who have attended their events. That way they can do something that is seen as only being for fun, gives you cool titles that you won't get anywhere else in game, and they can play on the player's enjoyment of the characters. I honestly don't think i would enjoy these if i was doing them over and over again for drops.

I'm more pissed the items are one time use like BC orbs. I've got too many people that want to go on these with me for titles and just to try to actually do them. The GM I talked to at Fanfest said it was because they didn't want the BC areas to potentially be hammered with people redoing the BCs even though they have no rewards. The potential excess server load is why they're one time use. :/

[Kiyuan98]

potential excess server load on ps2 limitations is why they're one time use. :/

[Frenzy]

They could have made an an item that dispenses those orbs and recharges once every month.
