im assuming there is no like.../played command or anything to tell you how many days you played on your character (as in days sat in frontof your cpu,ps2,etc)?

and by intricate bosses i mean the fights themselves. do guilds (i guess it would be linkshells on ffxi) fly through end game content or are there many many nights of wiping on the same boss try after try? ive tried to look at youtube videos of fights, but i mean.. i cant really decipher what is going on.

"They keep getting killed and losing over and over again. However, it is not impossible, as many players, myself included, have beaten the mission line."

this is what i want. wow is just like this but eh..like i said, ive gone through this on everything and am bored.

do linkshells use ventrilo while progressing through content?
In this day and age, there is a effective stragity for killing every boss mob(except AV). Mini-bosses such as Suzaku and Genbu(in Sky) are easy to kill IF you have the right strategy and you and your linkshell can preform the needed tasks. However, preform poorly and they will wipe the floor with you just like any other monster. So they are far from pushovers. On the other hand, if you know what you are doing you can easily win, so it's not impossibly hard.

As for the Chains of Promathia missions, they are similar to where you need a strat(on most of them) to win, you are also on a time limit. Some are so hard it's really just luck. I've seen some people go 0/50+ fights and give, up, others go 1/1 or 1/2. Most people are somewhere in the middle. One thing for sure is, it doesn't matter how powerful your character is or how great your gear,nor how long you spend fighting, you NEED strategy and skill to win these fights. Otherwise, you WILL go 0/50+
