I managed to finish my AF3 last night (morning). It went quite well, especially with 2 level 70+'s in the alliance, (One a level 75 Samurai.) so I can't comment on how hard the Notorious Monsters are, if anyone plans on going with a party of say 50-60's.
The alliance started gathering at approximately 6:00 PM Japan Time (Or around 1:00 AM in my time.), the actual AF3 Paladin quest ended around a couple of hours after that. After the expedition, I was invited by the same people to help out on the Redmage AF3 (Which was much faster). All in all, it took around 4 hours and some odd minutes. (Both AF3's)
So, without further adeiu, here are some screenshots I took. (Sorry about the huge ugly black bars; I forgot to /names & scroll lock.

)
1.) Alliance gathering.
2.) After we gathered most of the alliance, we went onwards to Davoi. (Chocobo Price : 734 gil

)
3.) We finally set foot on Davoi, and begin the walk to the well.
4.) After clearing a couple of orcs (Dreadnoughts), we began to prepare for the first (of three) NM fights.
5.) Everyone jumps the Rng Orc.
6.) The NM's are dead. Yay.
7.) We killed the NMs a couple more times, but nothing interesting happened along the way. (Finally remembered to take off the names/menus. :sweat: )
8.) Rdm AF3 in Garlaige. (Forgot to remove the Darksteel-wearing guy's name, but his name was long enough. :sweat: ) The galka in this picture is wearing Celeta + Hauberk + Thick armor sets; looks quite nice, eh?
9.) The Darksteel armor looks nicer though.
10.) We had 2 parties for this AF instead of a full alliance. (The other party wanted to sleep. :sweat: )
11.) The NM is summoned. It was pretty annoying, since it used it's AE attacks a -lot-. Well, it eventually died anyway.
12.) After getting a D2, I set out to the San d'Oria Airship.
13.) The end.
Special thanks to Frog for inviting practically more than 1/3 of the alliance to help out, and Redk who started the alliance.

Thanks a bunch guys.
