Son of a $*%&@! I TAKE THAT BACK, BOMB EARRINGS CONFIRMED even though it's not listed in their wording.... http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/724c6a2ffcb3e3143e1e037c26de1e8e91169781

Bump #2 goes out to you... and you, and you, and you. While I'm keeping this thread in the spotlight, I thought I'd redirect everyone here to the Sultansworn / Immortal Flames / Brass Blades Directory, in case anyone is interested in being listed. For privacy's sake, I'll be wiping the availabilities off the original post of this thread. Something that detailed could be abused for the sake of harassment, so bye bye Miss American Pie.

...burn, Otto. Burrrrrrrrn.

I feel that 1.0 lore ought to be segregated somehow (patch tag works, though I'd personally prefer something more discriminating), and notices/disclaimers of some sort thrown up as headers on those pages. 1.0 lore exists in this dubious "is it or is it not still canon?" headspace that is at times contradicted by 2.0 information. As a player from 2.0 and onward, I must say that I am often flummoxed when I'm presented with 1.0 lore that doesn't jive with what I've actually been seeing/reading/experiencing with ARR. Case in point: linkpearls are supposed to be these huge things roughly the size of baseballs? At least they are going by what I've seen a few times in RP from people I presumed to be 1.0 players... but everything in the MSQ of 2.0 says they're small enough to fit into your ear (see: Minfilia and how she reaches for her ear every time she calls the PC). Maybe the larger size is a holdover from people's experience with FFXI? I wouldn't know, and I don't have a resource to turn to that tells me what's from where, which is correct for ARR, and why.

"Laugh it up, fuzzball."

That feel when I have that shirt and don't even have LV 1 ARC....

Wait what? All Coatleque did was get him a license to resume trade in Thanalan. Nothing about immunity to inspection! Oscric, wut u do? Stahp it! :dazed: I did absolutely nothing... other than fake C'kayah's death once upon a time. I should probably notify Swift that the male is at large again. Hmm. Yes. EDIT: NAAAAAAAAAAT~!!! *shakes fist*

Mine are mostly cliché and awful. ...a hatred of card sharps is a little out of the way, though, especially considering that Osric doesn't particularly hate any other kind of cheat. Loaded dice? Fine. Rigged roulette? Fine. You're manipulating my cards? SCUMBAG.

NO. YOU CAN'T MAKE US. NYAH~~~

What happened to your seventh?

We may have to take incriminating pictures of Tonk and/or Sand-Man being arrested for vigilantism and/or impersonating an officer if you do.

Bada-bump! As per the calendar listing, we'll be meeting up at the Hall of Flames to get organized, then make our way to the front of the Quicksand to take screens/photos. So Warren! Feel free to take a leaf out of Impresario's book and idle either by the fountain or up above on the walkway. Gentle is for the weak!

the Elezen appreciation committee applauds your submission. Clearly, Thaarus' brilliance is so blinding that Crisiet's bleak and dour expression was required to veil the extravagance enough for this photograph to be taken.

Lesson I've learned: people will not sign up more than once for a particular event. In this case, folks left their times but... yeah. Apologies for letting this fall through twice. It's happening this time though, and not just because the third time is the charm. I'll tell you why. OCTOBER 6, 2014 9:00 p.m. PDT 10:00 p.m MDT 11:00 p.m. CDT 12:00 a.m. EDT 5:00 a.m. BST (Oct 7) I am going to be bumping this thread once a day until Sunday comes around. Then I'll bump it one last time on Sunday, and once more on Monday as a final reminder.

Waiting list... yes, please, put me down for a softly-colored bust whenever you get around to accepting more.

Cold. Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold! *asthmatic breathing* Naul too easy. "...darling, no more mass pulls when I'm not Warrior, alright?" "..." "Kanaria pls. Kanaria why."

Bronze rings of chainmail scrunched together as a black-clad figure rounded an old yew tree and sat down on a small boulder, over which snarling roots had grown throughout the cycles. The old man - for that's what he was, circumstances besides - sighed as he pulled the brass bastard sword from his side and plunged it blade-first into the dirt. Up went his arms, and with no small amount of commotion he doffed his haubergeon and set it aside. One hand traced over his chest as he frowned in consternation... not skin, but crystal. Dead center in his chest gleamed a dark black crystal, and from there through his chest to his shoulders... he stretched, left then right, pivoting where he sat, wrenching his torso this way and that. He could feel the implants, the tendrils of improvised metal veins that now stretched throughout his body, drawing on the chill that came with his burden, the chill that made him Crow. He glanced left, then right, traversing the grass beneath his feet, the numerous leaves wilting as he watched. The cold aura that announced his presence was gone; in its place was now a heavy dry heat as his implant sucked the cold from him and he sucked the moisture from the air. Vacuum, that's what it was. And its purpose... he tapped his fingers lightly over the crystal. "Should you exhaust your own aether, you will fall to their mercy. This will not protect you from fire forever." Banurein had proven true to her word. Two suns had not been enough time for what he'd wanted, but for the interim, she had provided security. The implant in his chest, he could appreciate, but... with a sudden snarl, he ripped the gauntlet from his left hand and stared at the other crystal, the purple one implanted into the back of his hand. He clenched that hand into a fist and grit his teeth at the memory. "This may... disorient you when you return. It may even awaken the second soul within you. Understand, it is... to be reserved for the most dire situations." He would not need it, he had decided. He would take precautions. He would stay the course, follow the path on which he'd set out, and his will would be done. I will not allow her to interfere. She will not keep me from destiny. She may have what she desires, but only after I ascend. Life beckoned. There was death to deal. Treacherous Crows to dispatch. Atrium and Oubliette, he had expected not to show. That moment when the tension on his mind had snapped, and he had reached out only to hear silence, only to find the Voice gone... it had been disorienting. That the others hadn't shown was telling. Iglujivaq hadn't made the rendezvous at the Respite, either. Only Aviarium had showed, and that hadn't surprised Rotunda. Were they not Adin and Rema? Jin'li, though... Jin'li needed to be dealt with. Bloom of ages....

Random CIA Agent x Petyr Baelish, please.

FOR YOU.

FOR YOU.

You know, there is a LS on Balmung that would be perfect for you.... Perfect for people who fall through chairs? In all seriousness though, I am looking for a LS. *cough* http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=6411 *rolls eyes* http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=6635

The trouble is that much of the pertinent lore that most roleplayers miss is either: A, not included in 2.0; B, passing mentions made by NPCs or in item descriptions; C, information made available online by developer comments, developer artwork, or in Lodestone releases. For example, there is no one single source that one can refer to for Ul'dahn history (if there is, it is so poorly advertised that I'm not aware of it), let alone an inclusive "encyclopedia" that roleplayers can refer to for all things XIV-lore-related. Were there such organized, advertised, and readily available sources, learning - and remembering! - such details as the name of the sultan who preceded Nanamo would be a lot easier. The RPC Wiki seems like an excellent resource for this sort of thing. If I had the time and energy to spare I would have liked to spearhead a collective effort from lore buffs to compile this information into pages and then provide a "Lore Table of Contents"... alas.

>lore >implying anyone other than a roleplayer cares Anonymoose is on Excalibur, not Balmung. They were on Ultros last I checked. Some small portion of that community broke off and splintered into Balmung, Excalibur, etc., but... meh. Thanks for the highlight, Kage!
