I have decided on the name Umbr'a Bajihri for my Keeper of the Moon who resides in Gilgamesh, but now I'm having yet another problem my friends just can't seem to help me with so I turn to the only community I think will understand.
I want my character to feel apart of this story.
I started P4 as an Arcanist in Limsa Lominsa. I absolutely love Limsa and the Admiral so on and so forth. I love their emblems and grand company, but Keepers of the Moon are traditionally from Gridania. Now I know everyone says that it doesnt matter do what you want and craft your story around it. Truth is I dont know if I want to do what I want versus what I feel is right. I really want my guy to be traditional though it means fighting something I like. I like Limsa. I feel Gridania.Â
Sorry if I'm not making much sense.
Though amazing, I couldnt find myself getting into Limsa's story. The admiral was praising my work and I'm this 5'5 tribal cat guy feeling totally out of place. Throughout Limsa, I'm struggling to read pirate dialogue I'm not use to reading.
Though VERY cool I can't help but feel out of place.
Maybe my magic based Miqo'te should be from Gridania. Tribal as all hells so on and so forth. A lot of people say that since I'm already level 20 just stay where I'm at and that the story blends together past this anyway, and the truth is they're right but when I go into the character menu and see that city-state emblem only I can see, I'll always know where I came from. Ill always know what I did.
Should I just roll Gridania and join Limsa's GC?
Or should I just suck it up and stay in Limsa and maybe wait until I join my GC?
I feel like if I truly loved Limsa, I wouldnt have doubts for Gridania.
But I do love Limsa! I chose it because Im from a portcity Irl.Â
But Gridania fits and feels the role. Crap if I know.
Sorry, I'm in decisive.
Sorry I'm all over the place. My thoughts are scattered just like this post.
I'm in desperate need of help D:Â
P.s. I was thinking about doingÂ
Miqo'te Keeper - Grid
Roegadyn Sea - Limsa
Lalafell Dunes - Uld'ah
lol I can understand your dilemma as Amaare is from Limsa himself having grown up there (but not born there as he is not from Eorzea) Oocly he is in Ul'dah due to him being a pugilist. So I basically crossed situations into his story. Meaning he is from Limsa but came to Ul'dah to improve his hand to hand fighting skills as well as look for work and make money because Ul'dah has wealth.
You can try something similar saying that your Miqo is there to learn their profession (the class you chose). But really is from Gridania born and raised (which then you an also join the Twin Adders to show hometown love/favor)
