Everyone has said it but it will always be useful to keep it in mind. iRL gender should not matter especially if you are having fun. keep the OOC out of the IC. If you do then you wont be worrying about whether or not the character you are romancing is played by someone of the gender you are not attracted to. What's hard is getting someone to romance a lala. *nods sagely*

I can reliably do a decent amount of dps when I'm able to Tower DPS with fights like say Twin (AND I DONT GET LIQUID HELL' D 3 TIMES IN A ROW) But Titan? Especially Extreme? I end up doing more harm than good and the only useful thing I got is Manawall to lure that LS and pop that LB at 3 o clock. Manaward definitely needs a small timer buff. Things I need better uses of or I need to be better BLM Apoc: Give me a good reason to use it. I don't ever register it. Aetherial Manipulation. Its on my hotbar but I have no real clue how to use it. Even with a mouse over macro. Surecast: I just... At end game I don't really ever use it. If an attack like twin's fireball is coming I just start casting again. Give Thundercloud and Firestartera higher probability of proc? I just... Hearing about how horrible T6-9 is for BLMs I was happy to hear that I could be tank buddy and PLD it up with my group. I like BLM but a whole coil set of turns that makes being BLM a bit hard? No.

I play a part of one Sultansworn group on Balmung and... *cough* I haven't gotten into the complete random investigation stuff others have done but a lot of -my- RP generally just goes "hello antagonist player wanna have our characters meet up? This may or may not happen cause RP... is RP. That said, it can be extremely fun while also being a complete clusterfuck of epic proportions if anything comes to a battle of sorts. If not even close to " regulated" in a sense you will most likely have people missing emotes or questions as well as possible powergaming. I think in order to have good "criminal" vs "law enforcement" RP most of the time there would be large amounts of OOC chatting. Whether plotting or hashing things out. Without Fantasia and a non 3 day lockout for name changes, a lot less people are willing to have their characters die if it's their only. I mean without communication the criminal characters are almost certainly going to be railroaded somehow... *kicks Denn and Fist before wheezing softly out of breath*

Pretty much Dunesfolk Lalafell base stats with the 23 PIE gives them like one extra Fire cast for BLM. I didn't know this when I rolled a Dunesfolk Lala and knew I wanted try BLM until I noticed that in end-game I had a certain hundred more MP or so. The MIND doesn't really mean much I've heard in this game. Racial Min-maxing really doesn't make much difference at all. A Lala PLD is just as effective really as a Roe PLD

Perhaps this section will help! http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=15&filtertf_srvr=Gilgamesh

Somewhere, someday, a Lalafell is seething and breathing heavily, wheezing and coughing abound. If he knew about this.

He tossed and turned. He couldn't sleep. The words hung over his head. It was the dead of night and while he felt safe and loved... a heavy burden, heavier than that of his recent encounters with the bandit, plagued him. The lalafell slowly crept out of the large bed, smiling sadly at its other occupants. He was glad last night that they had been away from the house when he'd finally made his way home but now... He frowned, tears falling down his face. Now he knew hard hard a burden that had been placed on him was. Kage made his way to the atrium. It was the only place that felt like he could breath at the moment. The current house had no windows. He couldn't see anything but walls and Natalie... and Kayah. He slid against a wall, staring outside of the atrium. It was calm tonight but inside of him, it was anything but. He laid his head back against the wall and closed his eyes, sobbing wracking his small form.

Oh, stop, your name isn't Lennie. My life RP-mechanics wise would have been much easier last night if people who were kidnapping Kage or carrying Kage could actually carry him >_>; OH THE KIDNAPPER IS SPRINTING AND RUNNING. /follow ain't cut out for this

I'm really hoping that Lalafell can get carried. I want to ride peoples' shoulders or get carried away. ... as long as there is mutual agreement.

It was the early morning and Kage blinked his eyes open, before they shot wide. His breathing became labored and in short breaths as he momentarily forgot where he was. Where was he? What was this place? A small sharp pain in his side, closer to his back made him remember. The crazy Roegadyn. Abalathia? Being held at point. Being carried off. The tackle that sent the blade driving into him. Ul'dah. Ser Anelia. The clinic. Camp Drybone. The heavy armored Roegadyn who took him hostage with an axe to his neck. The sharp point as it drew blood as it dug in. Being taken back to the clinic. That's where he was. He was at the clinic. He had gotten into the hot tub as Naz and Anelia talked. He couldn't hear anything over the sounds of the hot tub and the wall separating them. He was also simply exhausted as he trudged out of the tub, pulling on his clothes and was asleep before his head hit the bed pillow. Something awoke him but what? His ears and eyes picked up on movement from a figure beside his bed and his heart raced a moment. He nearly winced from the pain before he noticed who it was. "Kay..ah?" Kage whispered, a small wheeze coming out. The Miqo'te nodded, scooping the Lalafell into his arms. "We're going home, back to the tribe house my Kage Tia." Kage sighed, closing his eyes and nodded. A small hand gripped the fabric of Kayah's shirt. "Welcome home, Kage Tia. We're going to keep an eye on you, keep you safe." Kage nodded once more, exhaustion sweeping over himself once more as he let go. He trusted them, his family. He went to sleep knowing that he was safe and loved.

Can you explain what issues you're having?

Hey guys, I spend time watching people do speedruns of games some times, usually when charity marathons are held. I'm talking about Crystals for Life because a few Final Fantasy games are run as well as RPGs and JRPGs. Examples for 2014 include Final Fantasy IV, VI, Suikoden, Secret of Evermore, Chrono Cross, Chrono Trigger and others. It's non-stop game running all to encourage people to donate money towards charity, in Crystals for Life's case it is to benefit JDRF, an organization dedicated to research in curing, treating, and preventing type 1 diabetes. Sometimes they have donation incentives such as plushies or games or perlers but it's always great fun to watch and listen to these people play RPGs having practiced their craft for so long in getting certain things right. If you're interested, please check them out! They start today and will last into the weekend. Plus, I'm always in love with the shirts that get put up for these charity sales... >_> Wondershot is of course, from Chrono Trigger. Beautiful RNG that during a recent charity marathon, Awesome Games Done Quick 2014, in their last run of Chrono Trigger viewers PUSHED to get the total donations to over ONE MILLION DOLLARS for the Prevent Cancer Foundation! Wondershot killed Lavos AND helped push the viewers. crystalsforlife.ca/

I've run into this issue last week while on my work computer using internet explorer. Trying to do things in the Wiki I kept running into it while navigating or trying to edit my Wiki. I haven't noticed it recently but it had happened to me as well.

I didn't want my ugly mug back on the front page *whistle* http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/2466y3/niconico_event_day_2_summary_of_new_information/

Not me but rolling for actions really gives some control but it also is just completely random. You'd think at least 2 Sultansworn could actually do something about a Garlean in Ul'dah but nope. One gets blinded by wine and the other gets... tripped or something. Need. Better. Training?? Bumbling fools almost /cry

((I'm convinced this is a troll but...)) You will be hard pressed to find some RP with this at all. Er... good luck with it.

This. While I'm at work. Oops.

I wonder which one was worse... :evil: It would have been better if Kage and Natalie just stalked Grimsong all the time and then they woulda seen the face.

Yessss I have now RPd with D and Jara. Wait. That was a sekrets. I finally had this drop. So happy.

It should be noted that by morning it's usually been 4AM 8AM PDT For instance, today at 8AM (Sunday) Balmung was open.

Lalas must RP together. Yiiiiiis. I mean, look at them ZHAN WHY.

I've got a little experience tanking Garuda Ex (haha..) and Ifrit Ex, BLM for Garuda ex and Titan Ex. I've experienced all Coil1 T1-5 as a BLM and have relatively good knowledge tanking T1-2. Currently working on learning Levi Ex cause at this point I have no more reason to touch Ex primals except to help get clears.

I don't touch PVP because I just die every time and I have no idea what I'm doing *whistles* I've gotten pretty good ok or good at doing T1-2 on both PLD and BLM. My raid group pretty much did T4 for the clear and just threw ourselves at Twin. It's definitely helped, that echo buff, but it's not something that makes it laughable at clearing when you haven't tightened up all the screws and such. Are you doing T4 with a constant/consistent group Clover or are you mostly just using PF or DF?
