SE sure does know how to brainwash folks. :)

In the past two days, I've been doing a task at work which requires very little brainpower, so I've been listening to the FFXI soundtracks a lot. A whole lot. The more I listen to the music, the more I wonder how I could even consider doing anything else with my free time. :p Evil, evil SE.

(And in the moments I take my headphones off, I'm hit by how really, really bad damned co-worker's music is. Painful. Awful. How anyone willingly listens to that crap is beyond me.)

Sandy's music is just so amazing. Eee! It's so proud! Formal and proud and strong. Even though (ICly) I'd never really be accepted in Sandy, it so totally feels like home to me. I was able to go back there today (finally put the last of my Noct stuff up for auction in Jeuno), and wow. It really was like coming home. :) It's amazing that a game could create such feelings in me: My chest was warm with comfort at being back.

(It strikes me that Sandy is like Japan in some ways. A foreigner is never really, really accepted there, right? Maybe on the surface things are friendly, but deep down everyone knows you're "other". In Sandy, it's just not so deep down. :p )

On harder game-notes, I... I think I need a 13 million gil item. That not bad enough? It went from 9 million to 13 million in days. Who knows how high it'll go before I have anywhere near that money! But a peacock charm has +10 acc. Between that, my two sniper's rings, my leaping boots, +10 acc from my food, and the other HQ stuff I have, I'd never miss! No "loldrk" here! I mean gah! That charm, my rings, and the food alone would make +30 acc!

(Edit: It strikes me that I think I read something about there needing to be a balance between ACC and DEX. Or was it DEX and something else? That one very high thing (like ACC) would be worth less if the other wasn't that high. Hmmm.)

Now how in the world would I ever get that much money? It's not impossible (I'm up to 1.8 million now), but... it'd be hard as hell. And the Noct market is being flooded, so that won't be a source of good income for much longer. (Need to look into the Seer's line... Don't think I can HQ it, but I wonder if there's profit in non-HQ?)

Must consider this more...
