You make a very valid point Kieron! And that may have been where I erred previously. My character's no hunter of the most powerful Primals, bane of Garlemald or all Twelve in a single mortal vessel! I just thought it would be interesting to have been near key events in the first storyline of ARR. Heck, one of the only real things I wanted from the storyline was to be a Scion and actually take part in Operation Archon. It just seemed from what I saw wandering their not-so-secret hide-away was that they had people from all walks of life with their own set of skills to bring to the table. Hell! Even more so when they got reformed later in the story! But I suppose claiming to have been in the party that actually stopped Ultima Weapon may seem like a bit much, even if ones character does have the Echo and such.
OUCH! So straight to the point I'm surprised I don't have whiplash, Ashren! I know what I said about Gaius may've been misleading to the point of me putting him on a glorious golden pedestal, but that really wasn't my intent. I was just analyzing him through the events that led up to the final fight and from what I understand happened in version 1.0. He single handedly fought off Y'shtola, Yda, Papalymo, and Thancred, who are some of the Scions top combatants and highest-ranking members, which are recognized by the leaders all three city-states-Scions, that is-as a cut above the high ranking officers of their own respected Grand Companies. He had the undying loyalty and NEED to be recognized by all of his direct subordinates-who also took eight players each to beat-as well as being one of Garlemald's generals. I didn't mean to make it sound like he was a god walking amount us filthy and unworthy peons, but he was DEFINIETLY a cut above an eight-man team. I'm not even gonna explain Ultima Weapon, because that thing was just damn horrifying. And as to me killing them? Hell no! Not in a million years!
That was the Praetorium. It killed him. In a massive, raging eruption that made me giggle my butt off right after U.W. detonated.
Whoawhoawhoawhoa! Slow your roll there Nebbs, I may be a perfect-in-every-way, egotistical, narcissistic, self-absorbed, vain d-bag but I'm not trying to be the main hero of the land! I agree, trying to be or being around someone who's trying to be the special and unique little glittering snowflake can be UTTERLY infuriating, but what's wrong with trying to go a little beyond? I could never do the whole 'I'm just gifted this way! The world wants mME to do all this, now carry my baggae, hater's gonna hate!" nonsense, but from a story perspective, hard work and discipline can yield results just as much as who you know and how you know them. I completely agree with you though on the give and take, and like I replied to Kieron, maybe what I thought was toeing the line yet still acceptable was much too much.
To be forgotten is worse than death
