Just kind of curious what other people have come across in the game that just doesn't make any sense. I don't mean "this noob's gear/skill doesn't make sense" or "it doesn't make sense that I've gone 0/50 on this drop".

One thing that I could never make sense of in the game is how Shiva has Sleepga and Leviathan has Slowga. Shouldn't Diabolos or Fenrir have Sleepga and Titan have Slowga?


Anyways, what are some aspects of FFXI that make no sense to you?

I understand the need for R/E items.

I am happy we can send so much E and R/E stuff within account.

But WHY are there whole categories of stuff that can be traded and bazaared but not sendable within account?

Also howcome relic and empy JSE accessories are mailable within account but not the armor? Or vice versa.

how we use benediction and get a full erase of enfeebles but monsters use benediction and it laughs at their enfeebles, not removing a single one

that's like a rdm NM using chainspell and it only makes their spells 50% faster or something
Bene didn't use to remove enfeebles, that's why monsters still have the old DRG 2 hour.

Lazy coding I guess?

Galka gets a piece of armor, give it to a taru and it's majorly shrunk. Same for the other way round.

Why an Easy Prey monster would ever aggro you. I know the really low-end Easy Prey monsters don't, but you'd technically con "Very Tough" to them.

Why sitting garners the same reaction from monsters as resting. Even a Too Weak monster will aggro you if you sit within visible range.

Why magic and job abilities (especially the really loud ones) don't cause sound aggro.

Why there's a little girl in the game so obsessed with panties.

Why I can't wear a hairpin along with a hat.

Why I can't wear socks with shoes or wristbands with gloves.

How Tarutaru have babies (seriously, even their youngest children are almost as big as adults -- how the hell does it work??).

Why they would give the coolest battle stance in the game to a weapon in which the only job that can equip it can Dual Wield starting at Lv.10. (Seriously, I wish the one-handed Katana battle stance could be used more)

Why a stealthy job like Thief or Ninja gets bright green AF and bright orange relic respectively.

Why Square-Enix would allow players as low level as 30 into Abyssea. It should have been 75+.

There are a lot of eternally-puzzling questions out there, I think...

Why do tree-saplings/cuttings/seeds/etc. stack to 12, yet you can only have 10 flowerpots?

Why is that beetle's foot turned around like that? It's like, genetic or something? ;_;

Why are hecteyes sound aggro?

Why is "twenty years ago" supposedly such a long span of time for Vanadiel people? It's not really as long as they are thinking it is. :p

And why is it you can can continuously travel back in time whenever you feel like it, but only to the point where you had left previously? And not to sometime more useful...like slightly before something bad had happened? :p It's not just the maw--even your own personal spells like Retrace and Recall work that way. What is this, Inuyasha time-travel or something? ;_;

And, lastly... (spoiler)

Or how you can fall off a mountain in say Attohwa chasm but not off a ledge in West Altepa.

Square-Enix answered that as something along the lines of "He would have had to have had his power significantly reduced in order to be usable by the players, and we didn't want to make any iteration of him that weak. And I mean come on, it's Bahamut. Players can't control Bahamut"

You can only summon them with Astral Flow if I remember correctly. I guess Square-Enix also thinks that even as a 2-hour-only avatar, Bahamut still wouldn't fit >_<
