WTF in Vana'diel is a part 2? This time we continue on the beast with two backs that is the "XI META". We can't do this entire topic justice, even with two parts, but we can certainly try.Join us on the WTF in Vana'diel Discord for any comments you may have. https://discord.gg/h9HtgzaYou may also email us or leave a sincere comment, and we will (probably) gladly get back to you.Episode Drinks:Fox- "Extra medium bubble tea" Spicy - La Chouffe Belgian IPA. - I hate IPAs, and this is the only one I have ever found that I will drink.

Join us as we attempt to discuss things beyond our mortal comprehension and outside the scope of our semi-professional qualifications with a discussion on the dreaded and diabolical META. While the jury is out on if the 'E' stands for effective or efficient. What is clear, is that there needs to be a bit of realignment of the community in how they think about jobs, content, and the game itself. While neither of us can solve those woes, we can at least discuss the topic.We had not planned on this being a two-parter, but it just sort of ended up that way.Join us on the WTF in Vana'diel Discord for any comments you may have. https://discord.gg/h9HtgzaYou may also email us or leave a sincere comment, and we will (probably) gladly get back to you.Episode Drinks:Fox- "That sweet spray of cranberry". Ocean Spray cranberry juice is Fox's danger of choice.Spicy - Ayinger Bavarian Pilsner. "Clearly one of the greatest pilsners on the planet."

CORRECTION: We erroneously stated that Tickling Tendrils reduces TP. It does not, and is just damage and stun. Whoops.Find out this time which way Fox's kinks swing, and also stuff about Beastmaster.

Actually, I could get an eggnog— *an adult eggnog*. Yeah man, apparently whiskey is what I needed today."Spicy - Jack's Abbey Brewing Copper Legend Oktober Fest

Funk joins us again to sing us the song of his people. He brought his long form Bard Certificate in order to prove he is eligible to play a bard too.

Join us again as we attempt human interactions. This time we are joined by a special guest, the fabled Ruaumoko from the better piece of Down Under.The topic for this episode is lore, history, and apparently Beastmaster. Which likely demands its own episode at this point, "but it is not this day." Lore is a huge part of Final Fantasy in general, but is certainly central to XI as the naming conventions for vast swaths of the game are named after myths, figures, and history. We barely scratch the surface of the stone as far as this goes, but had a good time nonetheless.Join us on the WTF in Vana'diel Discord for any comments you may have. https://discord.gg/h9HtgzaYou may also email us or leave a sincere comment, and we will (probably) gladly get back to you.Episode Drinks:Fox - Fountain Dr. Pepper - He was "going fancy tonight"Rua - Stone Cutter Scotch Ale, 7.5% - Rua made this beer.Spicy - 2017 Glatzer Ried Prellenkirchen Blaufränkisch - Loved it

The first episode with actual recording equipment. Bare witness to Thefox without the filter of a tin trashcan, and weep.This time we go discuss BG Wiki with it's most esteemed Administrator and Historian, Funkworkz. We had originally recorded this episode, but lost it all due to the incompetence of one Spicyryan. So we get to somewhat awkwardly rehash the same topic and some of the same points all over again. Hey, we just love the wiki that much.

Ninja is not only misunderstood, but underrated and underutilized. So we got together this week to make Fox's dream come true of yelling at strangers about Ninja. Which, unlike Puppetmaster, is actually a real tank.This is the last episode with unbearably bad audio. There was a learning curve to suddenly learning how to work audio, and we are still riding up that curve.Join us on the WTF in Vanadiel Discord for any comments you may have. https://discord.gg/h9HtgzaEpisode Drinks:Fox - A cold glass of water, so that his voice doesn't give out.Spicy - Ayinger Oktober Fest-Märzen

This time we briefly talk about how third party tools can get you banned despite feeling you are special. The bulk of the episode is about Paladin though.

We intended to roll Paladin and Ninja into one single episode, but that was too lofty of an ambition.While I had assumed that I could just learn to fix all of the audio issues after we record. Little did I know that you can only do so much editing. Hopefully this episode is easier to listen to. In the future I know the mistakes to try and avoid now.

Thefoxdanger and Spicyryan of Asura chat about Final Fantasy XI to see if they do in fact really want to meet once a week to make a podcast. Turns out they do for some inexplicable reason, but this episode is just some backstory and nostalgia.

Future episodes have specific topics, and guests.Yes, the audio is bad, and it gets better in future episodes. We have no real semblance of a recording setup for the first few episodes as we were just testing the waters, and Fox doesn't even have an actual microphone. After the first three episodes we upgrade the audio setup for both of us.Join us on the WTF in Vana'diel Discord for any comments you may have. https://discord.gg/h9HtgzaDrinks of the Episode:Fox - Ocean Spray Cranberry JuiceSpicy - 2019 Kruger-Rumpf Spätburgunder Rosé Trocken
