  • In FFXI, at around level 20, you have to walk from your starter city to the main capital city, Jueno. It takes a couple of hours your first time, because all of the monsters are level 40+, and you have almost no chance of surviving an encounter,. You have to cross several very large maps in the process, usually alone or with a friend at around a similar level, and there is a lot of sneaking around you have to do in order to avoid detection. I always liked this part of the game because of the challenge it presented. When you arrive in Jueno, you finally get your chocobo license and never have to walk across those maps again, unless you really wanted to.

    The updated version of the game doesn’t require traveling like this anymore. I think you can just take an airship or teleport there somehow now, but I still take the long way for nostalgia whenever creating a new character.











  • He only survived because she let him live. As a trained assassin, she would have known exactly where to strike if she had wanted the blow to be fatal. She even tells Bane to keep him alive until Gotham is reduced to dust.

    The Bat suit might have absorbed some of the impact, but she still drove the blade in deep. Given the location and depth of the wound, he’s fortunate to have only been temporarily incapacitated. If you’ve ever read or heard firsthand accounts from someone who’s been stabbed, you’ll know it’s one of the worst pains imaginable. It’s as if your brain can focus on nothing but that foreign object inside you. Had he not been in peak physical condition, he likely would have passed out from the pain. Instead, we hear only his moans and gasps for air as he kneels over.

    Also, maybe Bane is a medical expert.
