And just the other day my friends and I were discussing where the "Sexual Content" ESRB comes from. I guess I know why now :blush: It sounds like Miqo'te females are suffering from Twi'lek syndrome.

Hey, welcome to Balmung. After seeing some Miqo'te names, I blindly chose mine, fell in love with it. It doesn't rigidly adhere to the lore, but it's what your happy with that's important. Feel free to engage Theo'vin any time you see him around. He's the dandy with the pudgy puk.

Great intro, and welcome to the community. I'm officially jealous of your graphic settings Looking forward to running into B'roxah in Erozea.

I agree with this completely. No need to rigidly follow the roles handed out to us on the character creation process. If the fighting style suites you and your character in a rough way, feel fee to take the favored components and run with them. For instance, if your character is a hearty healer--PLD would also be the conclusion I would come to. Sure, you're more a tank when it comes to dungeon crawling, but ICly, you're a healer who can take some punches on the field, but who manly tends to wounds in-battle. As Nahv'ir said, "Not everyone in the realm would be an adventurer or follow in the footsteps of combat. There have to be merchants, there have to be farmers, etc." As an example, my character is primarily a merchant. I justify this by focusing heavily on my weaver/botanist jobs. BLM is not a primary identity, but it's something he dabbles in, has affinity for, and has talent for when things get hairy and people need more then their eyebrows singed.

I was researching Roegadyn Sea Wolf conventions for a tank/melee oriented character and came across this awesome site. It hosts an index of Sea Wolf vocabulary to plug-and-play around with different names--and if it doesn't have a word your looking for, I found it a nice guide for adjusting German ones when needed. Spent a good few hours thinking of some possible names to apply to my character. Sorry if this was posted already, or a covered topic, but I thought it was useful and fun none-the-less.

Welcome to the forums! Great art, too. Beautiful colors and detail.

Hey, another foodie! Welcome! FFXI was my first MMO--luckily you are starting out on a MUCH better foot than I did. This game is incredible. Good luck on developing your character.

Welcome, Beccy, and best wishes on finding a RP home here. To this day, the FF MMOs have been the most immerse that I've played to date, so I think you're in for a treat The tethering and 'mounting up' idea you brought up raises an interesting subject. Only two MMO's I've played ever facilitated a mount that you actually had to dismount and return to: SWG and Fallen Earth. Being that it was an object you had to keep track of added another sense of 'groundedness' to the game that I always enjoyed. For me, it would be a little difficult to act out in a game that didn't facilitate it, but I definitely know where you are coming from.

Welcome to the forums and Balmung. It's cool to see others who've done "multi-media" rp as well, coming from a tabletop background. I was the kid who always took pretend games in the playground a little to seriously >.>

Completely forgot about it, but I too, did some RPing in AoC (Tempest of Set.) Love the game and the guild cities. It looks like Free Companies will have something similar once SE implements housing. Anyways, welcome!

I noticed this too. It's since improved a little since the updates yesterday, but still. You have to move IMMEDIATELY. Even if your character gets out of the way of the red marking while it's still on the ground and while the mob still 'appears' to be casting, I still wind up receiving damage 25-50% of the time. I'm playing Balmung and am in NA--so lag shouldn't be too much of a problem. I'm in your same boat.

This. Is. Precious. Great work on the ears. I always struggle with the interior structure of ears, human, elf, Lalafel alike. We dedicated a day in anatomy class on ear structure, so I guess I'm not the only one who finds them a challenge. Great job here, though. Impressive

What an awesome idea! I loved the plate art and almost bought the key-chain when they offered them long, long ago as a promotion for XIV 1.0. Great work.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I completely agree--before I joined, I lurked around the Artisan Hall and saw the art posted there. The FFXIV RP community has the strongest group of artists that I've seen in my history with other game's RP circles. Definitely inspiring

Megawoot--the only reason I was able to make a character on Balmung was because I stalked the servers until they came online at early access launch at 4 AM central time. My husband, however, was heading to work. He was finally able to make his character yesterday.

This looks like a lot of fun. Would love to attend

Hey! Wonderful work. I love the strong structure/anatomy and confident coloring. Awesome skills

I know what you mean. This game allows you to do everything on one character, but naturally as roleplayers, we could never see one character who we created as a mage be caught dead holding a sword, right? That's why I defaulted to Bloodtruffle, OOC as it is, as my forum name rather than my main. Who knows what other alts will be joining him I definitely want to try out Lancer, that's for sure. That's an alt in the works. Good luck with settling on a character. There are so many appealing ones to choose from. And welcome!

I've been around FFXIV since Beta 3, but I played FFXI back in the days before I was whisked off to WoW, Warhammer, Aion, Secret World, Fallen Earth and SWTOR. I started roleplaying in Warhammer and have ever since. I love making characters and developing them with other like-minded creatives. Additionally, I like to draw them. Some of my favorite artists are Yoshitaka Amano (D'uh,) James Jean, Adam Hughs, Drew Struzan--and the classics like Leyendecker, Waterhouse and William-Adolphe Bouguereau. You can see some of my non-FFXIV related art here, on my sadly neglected Tumblr. Hopefully I'll start posting some game-inspired work soon. Other than that, you can find me on Balmung on my Moqi'te, Theo'vin Kas--either tirelessly laboring over a fitted set of magerobes or igniting beastmen in a deluge of flames with his adventuring companion, Salem Rain. This is a gorgeous site you have here, and I can't wait to start meeting you all and getting more acquainted with the community, both forum-side and in game.
