and maybe Aphmau in her role as her famous alter ego )

I could totally see a sculpture of Aphmau dangling over the edge of the tea house roof with Ovjang holding her up by the ankles.

First FFXI collector's item I bought, if they all fall in line with this type of quality, I'd buy more.

The CD is incredible. My wife HATES video games, she thinks that I'd actually spend more time staring at her if I didn't play them or something, I don't know, she tries talking to me while exping.

Anyway, I put the CD on in the car to calm down my son, she commented on how much she liked the music. The face she made when I told her where it came from was worth the price of the CD five-fold.

Preach it brother

ps im still lamo

[Psalm]

No disagreement here, lol. Not to derail but $25 to transfer a bit of data is a little, I don't know, steep?

ya but it stops people from buying cheap stuff on one server then transfering to another server and flooding the market cause its 100k+ more there.

Time to get a friend to order it for you and ship it elsewhere like people did in the old days? (or even now with stuff like JP auction website)

Limit is 3 per person though, so the same friend could only order a few of them before you had to get someone else to order more...

[Vuitton]

Ha... I ordered it. >_> I am a dumbass for doing it I know... but... I can't resist. I have the moogle hat (JP version), the piano, the time piece, and the mini-airship. I have to collect all rare items.

I wonder what the cool down is? I bet its like like the moogle caps. Once every three days.

■FINAL FANTASY XI Original Pendant “Tidal Talisman”
The Final Fantasy XI Players’ Collection is an exclusive series of exquisite new accessories designed to bring you even deeper into the world of Vana’diel.

This stately pendant, wrought in the imposing shape of Leviathan, is an exclusive piece unobtainable elsewhere. As an added bonus commemorating the release of the Players’ Collection, everyone who orders the talisman will also receive an in-game item of the same name.

― Tidal Talisman ー
A metallic pendant that surfaces only rarely from excavations of Olduum burial sites in the western reaches of Aht Urhgan, the talisman depicts the great sea serpent worshipped and feared by the ancients, coiled around the great stone pillars that were said to have held up the heavens.
Scholars of prehistory in Aht Urhgan hypothesize from observation of other burial goods that this ornament was worn by high ranking diplomats in the ancient Olduum civilization. This theory is supported by several extraordinary powers confirmed by researchers, including the ability to project phantasmal robes over the wearer’s body and enabling the wearer to teleport to distant lands in the blink of an eye.

The European release date will be announced on the Official FINAL FANTASY XI Website when it is confirmed.

so actually sounds like EU players will get to order it, they're just trying to decide the price it seems.

[Vuitton]

For those ordering. Double check your confirmation email. They botched my shipping address and they didn't provide a confirmation number or any type of number to identify my order. I sent an email to the address they provided to make order changes asking for them to rectify my address, confirm my order, and provide me with a confirmation code.

[Toksyuryel]

Damn check the video, it ports party members in range when you use it. That is fucking awesome.

It works the same as the moogle and nomad moogle caps. Hopefully not the same cooldown for the price $$$$.

[Tarage]

...Oh hell...

I'm going to be a consumer whore again aren't I?

Ugh...

[Auspice]

I didn't even read the sell paragraph on it before I ordered. Sounds like a pretty cool item; taking bets on 3 day cooldown just like my nomad cap. xD

I didn't realize they were coming out with a Shadow Lord statue, the thing I was referring to was the trading arts figure that came out a few years back. I think a $10 trading arts is a bit more realistic for me to pick up over a $300 statue but I have been known to piss away money on dumber video game merchandise before(like some talisman, hmm.) -_-
