I fought the law and I won

Good morning folks! Well, I had an exciting evening last night. This is going to be a FFXI related rant, so I'll try to explain as best I can what was going on for the non-players. When you reach level 66, you can go through a final test to be able to get to level 75. It's Genkai V and it's a battle with an old dude that's job specific. So depending on which job you go as, there is a different way to fight him. As some know, I'm a white mage so basically he was going to kick my tail and I had to cure myself and keep myself alive.

I was pretty nervous for this battle. I didn't bother getting any of the armor recommended by the sites below except the staff. The stuff I have is uber and I could buy half of Vana'diel with what it cost me. I usually have snow on iChat/iSight so we can talk. Well, he watched me do this battle and little did I know he was documenting the conversation. I had a good laugh when I finally was able to look over at the Powerbook and see what was typed. Let's just say, I'm not the most elegant lady while in a big battle. Here's how it went down:

Snow: this
Snow: http://mysterytour.web.infoseek.co.jp/ffxi/us/tips/genkai5.htm
Snow: start now
Naku: headphones out.. need to concentrate
Naku: well no, one in one out
Naku: so I can yell for your help if need be
Naku: going

***the fight actually begins here and little did I know, he was typing out the conversation we had during the battle***

Snow: [Naku] echo drops
Snow: [Naku] hahaaaaaaaaa! suckaaah!

**See fighting Maat as a WHM, you basically have to just cure yourself, not attack him. Since if you play the game, you'd know a white mage can poke an adversary for a thousand years and it still wouldn't die. He kept casting 'silence' preventing me from casting cures on myself. Echo drops cure that. And yes I yell out loud when fighting something scary.**

Snow: [snowchyld] papilion!
Snow: [Naku] sshh shh shh
Snow: [Naku] he's a bitch, shut up honey

**I'm also not the most loving, soft spoken person when I'm getting my ass handed to me on a dish >.>; oops me bad**

Snow: [Naku] oooooooh one inch punch, what in the hell was that o_O
Snow: [snowchyld] he's a MNK
Snow: [Naku] hush
Snow: [Naku] go go go go oh god -_-
Snow: * Naku shakes her head
Snow: [Naku] ergh -_-

**It started taking a turn for the worst here. I used up almost all the medicines I brought along. MP was getting terribly low and that old biatch was still hitting me with all his MNK juju. Luckily I had set up OMGINEEDTOSAVEMYARSEQUICKBBQIT macros and pulled them off before certain death and failure.**

Snow: [Naku] Oh my god!
Snow: [Naku] good job...

**please note here that I was telling MYSELF I was doing a good job hahaha. I laughed about that for a while after. I probably should take myself out for a nice dinner and some dancing too.**

Snow: [Naku] there is no way, i did not bring enough stuff
Snow: [Naku] ergh!
Snow: [Naku] babe, i'm not gonna make it -_-;

**I really did think all was lost. Luckily a couple more cures and that pansy went down like taru from Norg (please also note I can't explain this taru analogy as it wouldn't be work friendly haha! Kidding, kidding'ish.**

Snow: * Naku cheers
Snow: [Naku] I DID IT!!!

**I really did cheer, a \o/ arms in the air cheer**

Snow: u > *

So, now I can get my character to level 75. I was a bit over a minute over the record for that battle. 8 minutes 38 seconds. Still, I just have to say, Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

AND I was just informed that Vlad who rawks was in cahoots with snow and came up with this:

so cute :')
