This week on Level Down, Teila returns, and its tea and crumpets all around as Mattr sails across the Channel and marches into Dragon’s Aery for a spot of chit-chat like the good old bean that he is. In return for breaking the Level Down posse’s best china, he reveals his secrets in how to utilise BLU magical-based spells most effectively.
Sesh introduces two new segments to the show – firstly “Name that Tune”, whereupon a member of the community is picked at random from the VP IRC chatroom to participate in a video game music quiz for a prize from our store! The lucky contestant this week is Aisere, a RDM from the Fenrir Server. The second segment is “Feeding the Troll” where Sesh takes a few of VP’s recent forum threads and discusses them with his fellow hosts.
Long-standing VP Admin Neve also returns once more, giving this show a jam-packed, star-studded line-up, although fanmail is sadly lacking once more! But who is that mystifying voice in this week’s comedic commercial?!
Also, the mystery NPC competition winner is finally revealed, so it’s a big congratulations to them as an official SE tee-shirt will be winging its way to them!
Join Sesh, Kixxi, Duel and Teila once again as this week they sing the BLUs on episode #7 of Level Down!
Episode #6 – "The Animator"
This week on Level Down, Teila vanishes into the shadows leaving the boys to make a mess of Dragon's Aery. They decide to invite over Malachai, a PUP from Cerberus, to bring over some Yagudo Drinks and have a laugh with the lads.
Duel returns once more with his Help Desk, talking about tips and tricks submitted into the forum by the community, and Sesh gets all enthused over obtaining yet another Monster Signa.
Kixxi sulks when Duel (now fluent in Beaver) suddenly opens up his mailbox to find it overflowing with estrogen-infused fanmail, but Kixxi doesn't fall short this week as his fan club membership increases... by two people.
This week's Open Fire discussion is all about PUP on a budget and PUP's role in Salvage, where Malachai and Duel enthusiastically talk about the benefits an Automaton can bring to the party. Sesh and Kixxi remain clueless throughout the entire discussion, but their interest is rekindled after a quick bathroom break.
Join us once again as Malachai brings the PUPpy love back to life in "The Animator"!
Episode #5 – "MND Your Manners"
The hosts return from their midsummer vacations to regale Vana’diel with their epic tales of adventure – Kixxi finds himself a personal assistant and Duel learns a new language!
Joining them this week as Guest of Honour is Droewyn from the Unicorn Server, founder of the Mean White Mage Society who brings up the interesting topic of ‘White Mage Etiquette’ – for example, when should you Sneak/Invis your party, and when should you not?
Look out from some interesting facts from Teila, as she recounts her Top Five Worst Drop Rates and Kixxi breaks out into another supersonic rant about Nyzul Isle in a Wall of Text.
Droewyn proudly announces the final clue from September’s competition, so look sharp, as listeners have until the 15th October to send us an email with the name of the NPC we’ve been talking about since Episode #3!
Can Kixxi recruit this elfmaiden to his Forty Thieves, or will this be another treasure that he fails to steal?
Find out in Episode #5 of Level Down!
Episode #4 - Last Man Standing
This week on Level Down, Sesh is forced to hold the fort alone as the other hosts get lost during a midsummer sojourn from Dragon's Aery!
Instead, guest-hosting on episode 4 is our good friend Neve of the Phoenix Server, along with Fusionx of the Bahamut Server and also of long-running Podcast, Pet Food Alpha.
The guest this week is Hileict, also of the Bahamut Server, who chooses to talk during Open Fire about the possible reasons older players are now deciding to quit the game.
With the recent addition of Level Sync the group discuss the likes and dislikes of this new game-changing feature, and also talk about the new influx of players delving into the depths of Nyzul Isle as the Mythic Weapons become readily available from all floors!
Also, remember to listen carefully to Fusionx as he reveals the second clue to our mystery NPC for September's competition to win an official FFXI tee shirt.
Is this Sesh's final stand? Find out in episode 4 of Level Down!
Episode #3 – Humour Amongst Thieves
This week on Level Down Kian joins us from the Garuda server to tell us about how he got into making his great FFXI videos for Dreamscape Studios. But unbeknownst to us, Kallo from Limit Break Radio sneaks past our detection systems to snag a seat in the studio as guest-host!
For our Open Fire discussion Kian reveals his predictions for the future of the Wings of the Goddess expansion, which sparks passionate interest from the hosts who all have different ideas about what direction the intricate plot will take next.
We also have yet another Kixxi vs. Sesh argument as they battle it out to determine whether being a Ninja or a Pirate is better. If you want to voice your opinion, join us in the forums to give your vote. Will Kixxi have to walk the plank? Or will Sesh end up falling on his sword?
Tune in to listen to all the latest updates from the hosts, plus some amazing POL news, and some rather exiting new changes to Vana’diel Profiles, including the first hint for September’s competition.
Due to limited funding (probably stolen by Kallo, no doubt), we at Vana’diel Profiles have had to insert advertising into the show, but we can guarantee you, it’s an advert worth listening to!
