Awesome! Great job.. looking forward to the upcoming issues ^^

Gorgeous picture you did of Ami.. I love it! I do adore your style.. I really should get to the drawing board myself again ^^

Lindblum has my vote as well, love the city, love the game.. On a sidenote: Barret is angry for not getting a server. He at least wanted a Corel or AVALANCHE server. Oh well, Balthier didn't get a server either. Barret also doesn't like Wutai..

We have the best cookies. That in itself is pretty persuasive.. Our latest member:

Thanks, I'll look into that sometimes And I'm like that too, I like to know more about the complicated workings of magic in a certain instance Even though I'm likely not going to be playing a magey main character myself, I still like to know all about the lore behind magic. Anyway, thanks for the additional replies ^^ I'm trying to stay on top of the matter as I get to see more in-game material

Thanks, guys ^^ Yeah I gave him a slight blush Cute little Ren Ren... I usually start with the hair (like that best too). and then if I'm rushing it out the rest is rather sloppy and quick And believe me, I always feel other people are better than me as well :roll:

I had a little time to spare this afternoon and felt like coloring something so.. this is what happened I didn't really give it all the attention it deserved so it could have been better but I still like it anyway ^^ I also did a little 'inking' I'll do an entire picture of Ren sometimes, methinks. At some point And give it a little more time.

Looks great! Love your character's looks

Hmm.. thanks for the tip. I'm going to give that a shot sometimes, see how it works out

Neat! Nice coloring job I love coloring myself.. maybe I'll give it a shot too. Thing is I'm used to working with photoshop files and layers so I don't have to watch the lines too much So coloring a jpg is harder.

Wish I could get in too.. can't wait to give it a try! Hoping I'll be invited..

Do it! >

*cackles*

Go, Europe! :cheer: We should all definitely stay in touch, even if we end up in different guilds. My biggest concern with EQ2, for example, and I've said this a 100 times over, was the lack of Euro players. But I'm more and more optimistic about the Euro population in FFXIV Oh yes, I'm European too, obviously

Very true. I guess the FF universe is rather flexible and we've seen quite a bunch of different characters using magic in different ways. I suppose that's only good, because like you said you can take a lot of freedom in writing your own character. As for necromancy and such, I suppose it wouldn't be too strange, not to me, anyway. Though it would take some skill to emote it out properly (the minions). I'm still curious to see what we'll see NPCs and monsters do. For instance, will there be a evil sorceror somewhere that calls forth a demon? Pretty likely Oh and can you actually use curative magic on undeads to damage them, in FFXIV?

Gawd that crab.. I think he got me a 100 times over. I remember the first time we saw him and tried to take him on..we figured we stood at least some chance. We were wrong :cry: :lol:

First of all, if there already is a topic or discussion on this matter elsewhere, my apologies, could somebody redirect me there? Thanks I was wondering about magic and it's 'IC schools', specifically the different ways to summon forth magical forces of one kind or another, be they destructive, protective or otherwise. As we only have two magic classes so far, that would mean that there are only two 'schools' of magic from an OOC perspective. Simplified: 1. Conjuring/Elementalism: This school of magic trains it's user to observe the flow of the natural elements around them, shaping and bending them into manifest magic. 2. Thaumaturgy: This school teaches the user to call upon his or her own inherent energy/aether and shape this energy into magic. Now, for RP, would there be various (sub)schools of magic to work with? Of course the final fantasy universe has the different mages like black, white, time, blue etc. These aren't in the game yet as actual classes, but would it still be acceptable to label your character as a black mage, for instance? The consequences of this being that ICly spoken, said character would mostly use the offensive elemental magic, for instance. Also, would it also be acceptable to pick a slightly different approach to magic for one's character? For instance, are (almost) all mages (pseudo-)scholars who learn to use magic through intensive study and manipulation of the elements or aether, or could there be other ways to use magic, such as (simplified again): Divine magic: A magic user who gains his power through his or her deity (priests, clerics, paladins) and faith (or at least claims to obtain his magic this way) Druidism/Shamanism: Magic users who are more so in tune with the natural or spiritual world and take a totally different stance towards magic, holding high the greater balance of things (less manipulative for instance). Necromancy/Forbidden/Dark etc.: Are there 'forbidden' kinds of magic, or kinds of magic that are generally frowned upon/not commonly accepted? Now I realize that saying your character is a necromancer that can call forth the walking dead or the legions of hell is a little too far fetched, but a priestly type who focuses on healing and communication with his deity, for instance, seems acceptable? Or a conjurer who feels the elements are not something to manipulate, but to bond with and call upon, with an eye on nature and the greater balance (more like a shaman or druid type). Now I don't think said character would call themselves a druid in the FFXIV universe, but I'm using the term here so people know what I'm talking about. What are your opinions or ideas on this matter? Thanks for the input I'm just trying to get settled in the lore and world a bit, so I hope I'm not asking for the obvious

I love it! Great stuff.. really. I <3 your style ^^ Love the pictures of Ren too.. And Steiner was the main character of FF9! .... Well, maybe not but I still loved him. Him and Vivi both.. Zidane was fun too, though. Especially after putting up with Squall

I'm not too worried about it, personally. A /e command would be great, and I do hope they'll add it in, but if not, no biggie Aion didn't have it either, and its just a matter of getting used to. As for shortcuts to standard emotes, I reckon they'll add that sooner or later. If not at launch, then after. ^^

I'm always up for meeting new people.. especially if I get to know a bunch of you a little better in the future Of course, it would have to be a Euro meet up for me..

Curious to see how this one will turn out ^^ I liked the first one, the story was pretty engaging My all time bioware favorite is still, and will likely always be, the Baldur's Gate series. I don't know how many times I played those over.

Looks good to me, great job I'm sure that'll come in really handy once the events start taking off.

Awesome! It is really great to see the RP community flourish Hopefully there will be lots of more members coming in before launch.. and hopefully they'll all be active in game too. Go FFXIV RPC! :cheer:
