I think the developers of FFXI really like playing Halo.

First Red vs. Blue, and with assault ranks, we have Sergeant, Sergeant Major, Chief Sergeant.. wouldn't be surprised if the next rank was "Master Chief"!

I'd prefer Master Chef. Come on Bobby Flay.
 
the items from last ranks are decent weapons if i remember, one of them being an extremely good sword for blu, so i hear.
 
I can just see that NPC in front of me with a lisping voice saying "This is my chair"

Slated to be "Second Lieutenant" if memory serves...
 
If the perdu katana is only dmg 32. I'm going to be sorely dissapointed. When the perdu sword sits at a whopping 44 base DMG and 224 odd delay.

/proverbial NIN's need a bone, toss us on SE please.

Can't... stop... laughing....
 
Isn't 32/190 pretty badass for endgame katanas, presuming 5acc/15atk boost while latent?

Unshi/Unjo are 32/33 and both above 200dly, aren't they? If that's the case Perdu would own... damn near everything else.
 
Hence the laughing.

It's the single best offhand katana in existance. And Langly's saying he's disappointed in it. (I'm still laughing)
 
omg guys SE put in a 999 damage 1 delay katana with attack+200 and Accuracy+100. This shit is disgusting, throw us a bone SE.
 
Yeah, that katana owns. Senjuriku/Perdu Katana will be the best weapon combo if you exclude Kikoku/Perdu Katana
 
I probably made a bigger stink out of it than I meant to through my choice in words.

I'd get a 'perdu' katana if one were available. Considering it's basically free.

It won't change our role in any specific activity, endgame or otherwise. I'm probably just overzealous about getting the same type of attention PLD and DRK have gotten lately. That's all.

Well, Destroyers didn't change MNK's role either... They just made it way better.

It's a Perdu weapon, what were you expecting? Something besides Perdu?

That may not be a bad thing. Look at all the boosts they've gotten lately.

I can relate though. I wouldn't wanna be lumped in with them gimps either.

Yeah pldrks, bring it.

The thing about getting attention from the devs is some jobs really need it. Others don't, or need attention in a completely opposite way. I'll give you some time to mull it over as to which category Ninja belongs in.

Perdu Hangar might have a better damage:delay ratio than the Perdu Katana/Kunai, but it doesn't change the fact that Sword Weaponskills still suck. Or that Ninja still have their higher Dual Wield, actually making the ratio better in their favor.

If SE gave PUP a weapon with a marginally better ratio than Destroyers, I wouldn't give a crap. They still have less skill, resulting in less damage, and attack slower.

I understand where you're coming from. While I will begrudgingly admit I don't think Ninja NEEDS it. I'd DEFINITELY like it. Something outside of just a new Katana. But yea, you caught me. I was acting greedy.
 
Seems rather ridiculous to me. The Perdu weapons seemed like a good means of helping balance out all the jobs who lacked a weapon with decent damage:delay ratio and came with a decent boost to boot; it actually somewhat levelled the playing field, making Bow/Scythe/Sword (I sortof wonder about the club, Perdu Hanger/Club on BLU would be a damn ton of att/acc...but blagh) somewhat less laughable. With something like Perdu Katana they may as well just toss in Perdu Axe, Perdu Cesti and Perdu Dagger and imbalance them all over again.
