Hi! I'm Six and I like to art. Also RP, but I've been a little shy in being able to actually get into things as of late. Been lurking here the past month and decided it was time to make an account!
After years of going "EW WEEB STUFF" I finally tried out the game and immediately ate my words. I've read up a little on lore specific to my character but am still incredibly new and currently starting on Heavensward's content. I've an Au Ra Raen as my main and like to heal via Yugioh.
While I'm a n00b when it comes to FF14 lore, I've played my fair share of MMOs (WoW, SWTOR, ESO), some as a heavy RPer, some as a heavy PvPer, some as a heavy raider - if not all three. Nevertheless FF14 is a different beast and I'm still learning some of the ropes and crying over AST card RNG.
You guys have an awesome little community here and some really great resources so you will probably see more of me, if only art thread posts. I'll get over my social anxiety one day. :V
Hiya, I'm SicketySix!
Welcome to the forums!
Yay is a Six! I may not be on Mateus but I was wondering when you'd pop your head on here since you started playing the game! Welcome to the RPC.
Yes another Sayuri! Look me up in game so we can bond over how awesome being a Raen is, and do general Sayuri type things.

I do like that description for AST healing. Just don't activate any trap cards on us.
Also, I do believe AST gets Redraw in the HW-levels, which should help a bit with the card RNG. Plus there were some other changes (specifically to the... Arrow and Spire, I think?) that make them more useful... so less cards should be "dead" cards and you can take another pull if you get something you don't want.
Plus, AST is apparently like the best healer right now, I think? So you'll be in a good place once you're all caught up.
Hey I've got username and character name twins!
 (i'm happy to be referred to as sixxers if there is confusion in future)
@Wemrys - Square needs to make it easier for everyone to move to a server that I can make characters on, it's so disheartening to see so many neat characters and events only for it to be on Balmung.
 I dunno if there's cross realm play though so maybe I'm being a giant baby for no reason. ay i got around to posting here tho
@SafetyGoggles - TWIN LILIES YES. My Raen is actually legitimately a herbalist plant lover so name is pretty literal. :V Hope to bump into you! Ideally not when I'm stuck in embarrassing levelling gear.
@Gegenji - Redraw is great, I just wish it wasn't whisked away from me half the time I do a level roulette. Really encouraging to hear that they're some great healers, though - I wondered at how the psuedo-random nature of the class played into endgame/progression content. I did grab WHM to start with so I'll always have that on the backburner.
The Spire can still go kick rocks tho. Got it 3 times in a row once. :\

Sadly the only cross-realm in the game is PvE/PvP. The Duty Finder matches across the datacenter for everything and Party Finder allows cross-world party creation which is useful for folks who absolutely want to do cross-world raiding. Balmung should open back up one day...one day...
Hey there and welcome aboard to the RPC!Â
I feel your pain with Balmung being locked down- here's hoping it reopens relatively soon.
