As an EU player on Balmung, I'm interested in this.

Should be in My Documents/My Games/Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn (Beta Version)/Screenshots/

Oho! It's Nikolai! Being not-Nikolai! Welcome back! I've missed seeing that sig around.

I'm no computer whizz, but I upgraded to a SSD for my main drive quite a while back, and the difference is pretty noticable in both games and software that run from it. I can't say anything about the difference in 2.0, but there was a notable difference in loading and zone transitions with swapping to an SSD in 1.0. I wouldn't say it's a necissary change by a long shot though.

Then you didn't read it close enough. >u>

Which version of the game you have doesn't effect which server choices you can make. They have servers recommended for locations, but the choice is entirely yours as to where you play.

So much black. >u>;;

I think it's neat! And I'd support it. My only real suggestion would be against spreading out your shope crafted stock, and sticking to those three. You've got three of the crafts covered, and they're all good ones. Realistically a shop shouldn't try and cater to everything, and focus on doing what it does well. It also mean you'll run less risk of treading too many toes. That's just my thoughts on that, but I do like it.

This is neat! Remi 1.0 Remi 1.0 in ARR Remi 2.0: A Remi Reborn Only difference is hair colour changes (and a minor eye colour tweak). Finally got a real black for hair. *//w//*

Hi there! Fellow UK-ian myself~ The server itself is NA based, and it's aimed towards both NA and EU players, there's no segregation. There are quite a number of RPers (and more coming in) who live in the UK, and that increases your chance of being able to RP with them. Of course there are people who you'll struggle to meet like you said, as many people are from NA. It's worth noting that often events might fall outside of times that are 'agreeable' to us EU people. >u> But in my experience, people are eager to try and get others involved and will try and keep events flexible. Back in 1.0 there were a number of EU-based linkshells on Balmung too.

That's interesting. I was under the impression it refered to a smaller group of warriors. In the End of an Era trailer the Warriors of Light are portrayed using the original party from the 1.0 CS. I realise they're either the 'stand in' for the actual PCs or fellow adventurers, but I guess I got hooked on the idea of them and the more traditional use of the term refering to the party in classic titles. During Gridania's introduction, Mionne atleast refers to a "band of valiant adventurers" which I read as meaning a singular party. Though I see it can be taken to mean more than that now. Don't get me wrong, but isn't it entirely a matter of perspective at this point? @ Aysun: Sorry if you read it that way. I was under the impression you just didn't understand what I was trying to say and tried to re-iterate the key point. I guess I just don't see the point in having people forget who you are, and was trying to explain my feelings and take on the setup. How I personally intend on approaching it atleast. I sort've understand in that it could lead to interesting RP scenarios. But I see it as more of a pain in the behind. Having someone forget you, and you trying to get them to remember? Not so bad. Having everyone you know do it to you could get tedious real quick. And I guess the idea of people getting fed up with doing it and glossing over interactions for certain people stands out as a massive negative point for that approach. Part of me feels like it'd be like undoing all the RP you have done.

I feel like you sort've missed my point, but that's fine I realise it's hard to grasp. Remi was at the battle herself, she time warped. I am one of those who was there, please don't cut me out so quickly. I'm trying to say that the iconic Warriors of Light that the people have forgotten would be the -main characters- in the -main story- of the game. I don't see why everyone else who was present but not the light warriors is forgotten, it never mentions that. Infact they're clearly remembered, with the GC leaders as examples. I could be mistaken, of course. You might be RPing out all the story missions and being the hero of Eorzea and have been all chummy with the NPCs. But yeah, that's just my interpretation. Sorry if it still doesn't make sense.

I like Roegadyns. >u> There are some wondeful examples in this thread of what makes them great. I support the boom in Fem Roegs.

So I figure I’ll hop in, and try and give my own personal take on this. And I’ll state now that I’ve only done a few of the story missions, so my experience might be limited too. If you have something that says otherwise to what I think, let me know. Now Louisoix transported those at the battle through time.This includes at the very least the GC leaders, all of whom return and everyone knows who they are. So I’d be inclined to believe that the erasure of memories isn’t tied to the time travel at all. People know that the GCs were there, and that the adventurers fought to defend the realm. It’s the Warriors of Light who people have forgotten. So then, who are the Warriors of Light? Well any PC from 1.0 is essentially the warrior of light,that’s how the story works. But as RPers, I can’t think of anyone of the top of my head who’s actually RPing as the character who's progressing down the central story of the game itself. We know of the GCs, some of us have the Echo and some might say they’ve met these key NPCs. But we’re not the Warriors of Light. At least Remi isn’t. Remi was at the battle, and I’m having her warped through time.How does this look to others? She’d have been missing for many years, suddenly to reappear unchanged in age or knowledge. Amazing! Except that’s nothing unique. There’s more than one person this has happened to. A large chunk of us, the GC leaders and likely others too. Then there would be those who claim to have been warped, who further dilute the time warping. My thoughts on the Warriors of Light are that they’re not us. They’re adventurers who fought at the vanguard for Eorzea, and stand as a beacon to those who will follow. They’re an ideal. They’re the heroes who we played, but don’t RP as. Remi will remember them too, as both those at the Flats recall and those who met them during their adventures do. As for NPC reactions, to me it seems to work both ways. If you’re an original 1.0 Light Warrior or a newcomer for story purposes. Many of the chat dialogue seems fixed from the parts I’ve seen, in Ul’dah you meet Stud-muffin Thancred. Who says “…Ah. Wait a moment. It occurs to me that we may have…” which I want to follow with “..met before” as a recollection of the Warrior of light who everyone has forgotten. There’s other similar lines throughout, even as a new character. But it could just as easily be that he can ‘feel’ the same sort’ve presence from the PC as the previous Light Warrior. Something that I think Raubahn touches on. That you’re inherently herioic, gifted with the Echo, and touched by the mother crystal Haedalyn. As were the Light Warriors before you. You can claim to be those light warriors, but there’s no evidence that you are, and I’m certain that many people would falsely make that same claim for personal gain. That’s my thoughts on it, atleast. tl;dr The Light Warriors are forgotten. But I'm not a Light Warrior.
