Well, if you've followed along from the last one, we once again attempted to fight that rock hard abshole known as Titan. It was gruelling. We practically used the entire hour to best him! It was amazing though, when it finally happened. In our last attempt having 11 minutes to spare! But I'm not going to relay what happened to you with terrible descriptions, and weird pictures. Instead I'll offer up this video that was recorded with the power of the Playstation 4 home entertainment computer device:
You could imagine at the very end, with the achievement popping up... I pop out of my chair and shout relief, collapsing to the floor in happiness-filled tears. The neighbours can't tell what's going on, but are curious about the boisterous laughter.
I don't know. I don't know if I'd ever want to do it again. It marks the 3rd time in a row where we've successfully beaten Titan while I'm dead, so perhaps that's telling me something. At the same time, I've learned a lot about the fight; What to do, what not to do. So I'm sure a part of me would be okay with going if my arm was twisted enough.
I think I'm going to have to lock that part of me into a deep, dark cellar and make sure nobody goes near it.

On the lighter side. The Moonfire faire has started, and you get the chance to play with fireworks, run around in a fancy assortment of Yukatas ( plus questionable swimsuits) and learn a brand-new dance. If you haven't played this game yet, you're basically missing out on some of this game's goofiest moments (but you could probably say that about a lot of MMOs)
For how long I've played this game, I think this was the first time I've been to an event at the very moment it starts. So I wanted to make an effort to do so by showing up to the amphitheatre in Old Gridania, and waiting for the thing to pop into existence.
Dolph and I ended up being 1h 12m early... I guess I was a little too eager.
But much like the time we sat around the Adventurer's Guild and chatted it up, we just kind of sat at the benches and waited.
It wasn't too long until people started showing up around us.. er, rather showing up around Dolphin. (I guess Cat guys are cooler than Old Elf dudes) As others started to show up, the party got started.
The Pre-event Dancing/Light Show began (I'm somewhere in the middle):
And yes, as you can tell by the end of the video, Your Duders at the Giant Bomb Free Company were sporting Yukata and dancing the dance that we joyfully learned. Then took to the beach to Praise the night sky.

Whelp... as of typing this, it's 4:27 am and I should definitely go to bed, so the obligatory photo album is going to have to wait for another time. I just had to follow up from the last blog and relish in the fact that I may never need/want/haveto/maybe fight Titan on extreme again.
OR maybe we didn't really beat Titan, BUT are DEAD and doomed to wander Ul'dah as GHOSTS:
This is probably going to be a mystery for another time.
Sorry it's more video heavy than usual.... That might not happen again.
