FFXI: Nation 5-1 fun.
The small crew of 5 traversed to and through Fei'Yin to try to strengthen the seal.
Archlich Encounter at our level (lowest 45, highest 60) was chaotic but fun. Lots of funny guys (skeletons) spawning throughout the fight.
About to skillchain, then oops, get sleep'd idiot.

I was tired while getting food and toys for the pets.
"Da bups like squeaky toys. This seems fine."

@riritenyuyuten.bsky.social then remarked that I got a toy that resembled a dodo.

Truly dodo energy to give the squeaky dodo to dogs.

It me

This was on one of the No CCHH team member's stream.
Think it was roughly End of Day 3.

Physically painful to play healers for an extended time.
I haven't heard nearly the same sentiment from other classes.

stray(?) dog while at work

comes by every so often

If we had the time and people willing to have run it with us, I probably would've wanted to try this at the level sync caps they had at the time before it was uncapped.

Ultimately:
Chains of Promathia was very fun, and wish I had recorded our adventure or took more screenshots.

Just about every encounter starting with 6-4 always felt like either:
1) This could've gone worse so quickly without the precautions we made,
or
2) Things are chaotic, but just barely doable.

Other encounters before 6-4 weren't quite to that point.
Overall though, they were enjoyable and satisfying

Did 1-1 through 5-3 as Lv60 WHM/BLM
Got the AF gear, unlocked SCH, did the Lv70->75 LB.
Did 6-1 through 8-4 as Lv75 WHM/SCH.
Throughout all of it, @riritenyuyuten.bsky.social was helping me as 85 RDM/SCH(?)
Trusts were: Valaineral, Koru-Moru, Shantotto II, Lion II, at my level.

belated "review" of Chains of Promathia (cleared it about 10 days ago now)
Loved Prishe.
Loved the Tarutaru triplets.
Loved the dungeon, minibosses, MSQ BCNM in Al'Taieu.
Loved the final encounter.
Loved the story overall.
It probably would hit harder if I had done Rise of the Zilart first.

There's this silly little line I have on discord that's been my... status(?) or whatever it is, for p much my whole time on discord (nearly 10 years).

"Let's keep rolling. Maybe we'll find something."

Well, as often with rolling many dice rolls, you do.

So let's do that.

More cats

I have been asked to post cats

Whenevr I introduce people to Slate, the baby idiot cat that is somehow the strongest but also most scared, I show them this pic first:
