I've got a few tiger-related stories.
Tiger Horror Story#1:
I remember helping someone in my other LS get to Jeuno recently... I was only level 30, but I offered to help cause I like helping. ^^ I figured Invisible and Sneak would be enough to get us through. We went through Ronfaure and La Theine Plateau easily of course, and then when we got to Jugner Forest I tried casting Invisible on him and it wore off really fast...I decided to forgo Invis, at least for Jugner, where I could kill anything there. I decided I would deal with this problem when we got to Battalia...I'm lazy, lol ^^
Within minutes of entering the forest, we were ambushed by a tiger. We never saw it coming... I killed it, and then my MP was really low. I've always had problems with low MP...>.> So anyway, it took so long to heal after each fight that I decided to try invis again. It lasted much longer this time for some reason. I guess there's a lot of randomness involved in determining duration.
And so we went through Jugner using the "Invis and Sneak" method.. the method for the lazy. (Or the MP-challenged. =P) I had to heal MP from time to time, all that invis and sneak can get tiring. ^^;; I remember we rested at the outpost, and I tried to ask him "How much does it cost to set home point at this outpost" but I never got a real answer to that one...
By the way, at the time I had no idea what tigers aggro to ^^;, so I used both Invisible and Sneak at all times when around a tiger (which was often.) Finally, finally, we got to Battalia... My first thought was, "We did it! Finally...we're out of that evil forest of tigers..." then after that I thought, "Oh, wait... this is the hard part, where invis is not just a MP saver, here it's one false move and we're dead..."
We healed up and, nervously, continued on. The first time I needed to heal MP, we were backed up against the wall and there was a tiger nearby...I was so scared. He seemed to think tigers aggro to sound, (or maybe I told him that...) and he said not to move. He also asked, "your casting like 20 invis's on me, and like 2 on you what is with that" and I told him that invis sticks longer if you're higher level.
But it crept closer, ever closer, I don't think it noticed us, because it wasn't really chasing us, and we just needed to move, so we moved away from the tiger, I was scared it would hear us moving and aggro, but it didn't. They don't actually aggro to sound, luckily. ^^ Eventually, we saw the entrance to Jeuno!! I said, "We're almost there, that bridge is the entrance to jeuno." and he said, "are you sure it doesn't lead to a den of tigers?" and I said, "lol no.. my map says it leads to Jeuno. ^^"
But...there was a goblin right in front of the bridge! I wasn't sure how to get past it, I guessed we would just invis, but I was worried his would wear off...Just then, the goblin moved! we just walked on by, I forget if we had invis or not, but the gob didn't notice us. ^.^ And finally, finally, we made it to Jeuno...my feeling was not one of accomplishment, but relief. Then I helped him with the chocobo quest. He could only afford 3 gausebit grasses, so I bought him one. ^^ I'm nice.. I would give away a lot more gil if I had a lot to give.
And that is Tiger Horror Story #1.
Tiger Horror Story #2:
I had heard that RNG quest is very easy, and I thought it might be a fun job to level, and not super expensive like everyone says, cause I can make my own arrows. ^^ So I got the quest, and set off to Sauromugue Champaign to give it a try. I found the cave easily enough. I went in on a chocobo, noting the tigers outside the cave, but I did not worry about them, I figured they would not bother me on the quest itself, and afterwards I could use them to bloodport back.
At first, everything went fine. Then... the tigers came! *scary movie music* =P They just walked right into the cave, I tried to fight them...and died. >.< So eventually I got someone to help me, but everyone thinks it's so easy.. That's for people who can kill those evil, evil man-eating tigers.
Then it was pretty easy, he killed the tigers and I got ranger.
So far, it's only level 2...^^;
After those happenings, I hate tigers with a vengeance.
Edited because in the original version, the grammar was atrocious and practically nothing was capitalized.
If it does notice you be warned they can run and attack very fast 
If you manage to take one down the goodies it leaves behide can be quite useful.
Everytime I get off the airship that big galka, Shark Teeth, escorts me to the gate.
owie!><
