Nel Celestine

It's not a matter of hating really, it's a matter of not wanting to mix the XIV settings with other settings so casually. This also opens the door RP wise for people to play characters from just about any setting they want to, something a lot of us are not too fond of. The Crystal Tower is supposed to have elements from other Final Fantasy games right? I'm hoping that they approach this smartly and implement it in a similar fashion to how Gilgamesh from Final Fantasy V consistently shows up in other Final Fantasy games. In Final Fantasy V there was something called The Void, it served as a space between dimensions, during the events of Final Fantasy V Gilgamesh is banished to The Void, and it's generally speculated that this is the reason he shows up in other Final Fantasy games. In XII for example he's a special Elite Mark boss fight, during this battle you can see that he's wielding Squall's Revolver gunblade, Tidus's Brotherhood sword, and Cloud's Buster sword. If they handle Lighting in a similar fashion, and not as a different version of her hanging out in Garlemard or whatever, I'll be cool with it. Thank you, at least someone ELSE knows what I was referring to.

Not the first time Cloud has appeared in another title. Final Fantasy Tactics. Dissidia.

fair enough, but the possibility for it is there. We'll just have to see when the event comes out how they choose the handle it.

What's so lore changing? I mean heck, we players got time warped 5 years. There are Cavernous Maws (Atomos) that were feeding on our Aetherites. It's been confirmed in cross game lore that Atomos is the gateway between dimensions and eats failed ones. Lightning appeared in Dissidia, where in so did Shantotto who mentions she arrived via a Cavernous Maw. It's entirely possible that canonically she can appear in XIV. Which would make even MORE sense since it's a short term event that she can't stay here for a long period of time just like Gilgamesh has stated he can not stay in any one dimension for a great length of time.

I've been thinking and I mentioned most of this on the Skype chat earlier. Each Generation of Final Fantasy series has had a main "hero" for the first 10 years or so, it was Cecil. Lets be completely honest. it was. Then, there was Cloud. and now, Lightning. so as much as some people might complain or hate, you have to remember that this is the current Generation's main hero and in 5 years or so, we'll have a new main popular hero. It's a character that defines that generation of FF titles not the story behind them, but the character themselves because many of us will agree, 13's story sucked a lot of ass. Cloud wasn't the brightest clone in the lot. But he was a fan fave. Lightning is the representative for this gen's FF. Just as Cloud was for FF7~12 and Cecil for 1~6. People don't always like the main character in a game, but more often then not, that character is picked for a reason. It's what many people like in their hero. Not all, but many. I recall, when "The Third Birthday" (I refuse to call it Parasite Eve 3) released. They had cross promotional costumes with Dissidia. Lightning's outfit for Aya, and Aya's outfit for Lightning. It also cross promoted for Birth by Sleep in that you could get Cloud's Kingdom Heart Costume for cloud in Dissidia if you had a cleared save file. With the release of Lightning Returns, they wanted to cross-promote it to XIV just like Sega can cross Promote stuff into PSO2. This is hardly the first time dimension hoping has occurred in Final Fantasy. Dissidia, Final Fantasy Dimensions, Tactics, Tactics Advance 1 and 2, FFXI, and even going back to FFV! Let's not forget that Gilgamesh from every game except FFXI is the same Gilgamesh dimension hopping.

It was canon WAY back already anyways. Dissidia for one and the fact that Gilgamesh in all games (sans XI) is the same Gilgamesh.

Everyone's gil from 1.x has been slashed DRAMATICALLY. Those with characters coming back have one tenth of our original funds. Also, there will be many MANY more gil sinks now. There wasn't so many in 1.x Housing, something that won't be a major factor in the game will be pricey. I am also sure there will be many MANY more gil sinks in 2.0 as well. Gear wise, unless you want dated gear which is stat-less or the White Ravens, you aren't missing out on anything there. There are so many NEW pieces that we're all (everyone, legacy and non) excited to get our mitts on them. So, either way, I wish the best of luck to those who choose to start on Gilgamesh. Just please do it because you want to start there, not because of endgame reasons. Endgame will always change and get easier as the game progresses. Endgame is not always RP. Endgame is content grinding. That is all.

Gimmie gimmie gimmie gimmie gimmie!

I'm interested in it for two reasons. 1. Those weapons look great, new hairstyle and the costumes are ok. 2. Just imagine WHO WILL BE NEXT!!

If I had to pick anything from any final fantasy game to fight as an optional boss.. it would have to be Altima The Bloody Angel

sadly there isn't any more info to give =/

It's going to be added post launch. Version 2.1 I believe and 2.2 will be housing.

welcome to the RP~!

hello and welcome to the RPC

I believe it does

they are mostly the same yes. however the stat bonuses on them depends on the city-state.

sadly, any GC items you have you can only equip if you are part of said GC. So if you were to join the Maelstrom, any Twin Adders gear you have would be unequipable. As for how it progresses in 2.0, I'm not sure. But Limsa was heavily Melee Focused in 1.0, Gridania magic focused and Ul'dah was more Tank Focused. Edit: misread part of your question. Yes, as you rank up, more weapons and types become available.

THIS is why it is the Hydaelyn Roleplayers Coalition and not the Balmung Roleplayers Coalition.

But that's what we're doing. There is a poll currently going on to select a non-legacy server for RP for those who would like to go to a non-legacy server. There will be a section of the forums for that server. I don't see where the problem lies. O_o; Edit: as for the support, what I was referring to was the comments about "I came from community X and this happened." while it's possible stuff like that could happen here, if we all try to work together with listening and understanding on BOTH sides here things will work out. If one side is constantly lashing out at the other and claiming things to be unfair when they are not, it doesn't help anyone.

Mind if we ask, in your opinion, what would be "fair" from your point of view? Please keep in mind that many of the players here have been here for over three years supporting the game and community this entire time.
