Nikolai

Oh neat. My character also just happens to be on Arcadia: Nikolai "Curios" Petrikov. I don't play too often, but feel free to send a tell if you see me online.

I'm pretty sure you'll be more than welcome. Go ahead and drop an app on the site here. Everyone I've met in my time with Unity has been friendly and welcoming. Here's hoping you'll be joining us soon!

I'm sad this was pushed back, but I can certainly understand what with the awful server issues. Unfortunately I'd made sure to keep last Saturday open, but not this coming Saturday. Had a mask prepared and everything I hope something like this happens again soon. With enough advance notice I'll be sure to schedule around it again. Just don't change it on me again!!

In regards to your question: it depends on your playstyle. Do you prefer soloing or party play for leveling up? Conjurer will be better at soloing, whereas White Mage will be far better for party play.

Ah if school weren't just starting back up as ARR launches I would so be down. Most inconvenient launch date ever D:

Red Mage all the way. From the sound of it I'll be going scholar for now because I do so enjoy mitigation healers (as opposed to big bomb overhealing healers like whm) but as soon as Red Mage happens, I'll switch immediately. Whatever role it ends up serving, I just love its aesthetic. I would certainly not mind Thief and Puppetmaster if they can work them in. I'm pretty sure they won't want to go the Treasure Hunter route and make Thief a pure utility class like in XI, so I'm hoping to see them be more of a support DD that could apply various debuffs, likely poisons, evasion/defense down, etc. The Sneak Attack and Trick Attack abilities from XI were great, too, and I'd love to see them make a return. I'd want to see them retailored slightly to be better at soloing though. In particular, I'd want: Trick Attack to deal bonus damage if the enemy is facing you, but even if the enemy isn't facing you, the attack's enmity would still be transferred to someone in front of you (assuming there is in fact someone in front of you) An ability that briefly binds the opponent so that you are able to run behind them for a sneak attack even while soloing (since there won't be any sleep bolts to do this like in XI) Then, Puppetmaster was pretty much the most fun class in XI. It was intricate enough that it could have been its own game. I would love to see it reinterpreted for XIV.

Ooh, I'm in! <3 5327 - 0916 - 5405 I've got Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Kid Icarus, Pokemon Black 2, and a number of other games. I'm pretty much always down to play, too <3

FF2 really did have the best standard battle music. <3

To those on Steam with Civ V Brave New World (and preferably all the other DLC too): I'm trying to get a big game together today starting in about 2~ hours. Add sweetidealism on steam if you care to join! <3

Ooo~ my turn! I'm the one in the Trogdor t-shirt. Two years ago, before I got glasses. Me in my sweet leather outfit. Lousy quality webcam pic in which I noticed my glasses were reflecting the monitor. At a picnic with some friends. I wear that t-shirt pretty often. And finally, me in my Ness outfit at a 3DS StreetPass event at which someone went dressed as Mario. Naturally, we had to have a mock duel.

After looking at the miqo'te naming conventions... absolutely not. Waaay too limiting for my tastes, and I don't want apostrophes in my name. Instead, I've decided that my character will be coming from a community in which there has long since been intermixing between the clans. For the sake of game mechanics, my main character, Fejar, will be a keeper because I want him to have the nicer mage stats, while his sister Lumei will be a seeker, as she's likely going to be a marauder (with a swift change to musketeer if they'd ever release it.) However, in character, though they might display features of their mechanical clans, they're definitely going to be hybrids. As such, neither of their names will be tailored to fit the clan specific naming conventions, because they don't actually belong solely to either clan.

I will more than likely show up for this on my new character. '-')b

:surprise: How do I become a part of this? I've just added you as a friend and invited you to the group!

My Steam ID is sweetidealism. Like Mtoto, I am also a huge Civ V fan. I've even created my own Steam group to organize large multiplayer games, and I intend to get another game together on Monday after Brave New World releases. <3

Okay, here's my take on it. My new character, Fejar, is a warrior of light. He was present at the Battle of Carteneau, and he was warped into what is now the present. He has his memory in tact, but others do not remember him, let alone his involvement. (He's okay with this.) This is evidenced by going through cutscenes in which NPCs to whom my character was close have absolutely no recollection of me, despite me clearly knowing who they are. In contrast, my old character, Nikolai, was not at the Battle for Carteneau, and, as such, would be afflicted with this amnesia. If he ever wakes, then he will not remember Fejar or anyone else that was at the Battle of Carteneau. He WOULD, however, remember friends that WEREN'T there, such as Kylin. In other words, if your character time-skipped (like Fejar) then that character's memory will be in tact. If they remained behind, then they have forgotten everyone that was involved. Of course, this is only my opinion on the matter; you are welcome to your own interpretation.
