Chris Ganale

That happened today. Minutes ago, in fact.

Kurt, I'm down for the first four turns whenever. You know my characters. t5 and beyond though I'm just as lost as you. Shit I'm not even clear of t5 on anyone.

Honestly, I've been waiting for DRK since I joined. In every other setting I've played Ganale where he's used non-modern weapons--and even in one notable instance where he did have a modern arsenal, he's always mainlined a greatsword. Ever since I once played D&D and stumbled across the exotic weapon mercurial greatsword.

As hilarious as that is, it's not something any of my characters would do in seriousness.

Or a Doman military scout who finds delicious irony in turning Garlemald's weapons against them. Or a bounty hunter who had a pair of crystal-powered energy guns made to go with his stolen/upgraded Garlean armor. Or a retired Flames soldier who finds that a carbine-type weapon doesn't agitate his injury and makes a good ranged weapon aside from hand throwing axes. Or a combat mage who keeps a high-caliber semiautomatic squirreled away for emergencies. Or a guy who fell through a rift to another world is perfectly normal, thank you very much, and does freelance "ambassadorial" work for the Maelstrom.

Ganale was in a fight once against his employer/love-interest. She was rather fond of throwing bio, miasma, and virus on him while he was fighting her summons. Lots of vomited blood and nearly drowning from blood filling his lungs. Berserk is a lifesaver.

Zy's bringing up valid points. It won't get threads locked unless people start getting persnickity about it.

Why? It's valid consideration of the topic at hand.

Word.

As an aside, if Tahz was wearing his fake!goon gear and was seen in Coerthas by anyone in any official capacity, he'd be making dust trails in the opposite direction.

Yeah, it's veered a bit vicious in here at times. I'm as guilty of that as anyone else, but still.

It is true, and like Star Wars, I typically take the judgment of "I look at the universe my way, and other people can look at the universe their way, and if things line up, great. If not, oh well. But I will get violently defensive when I feel slighted."

He's saying that there's the possibility that we're thinking about lore three or four times harder than SE did, and that they just set races to groups because they thought it looked good at the time.

Combat level 7, skill (healer) level 4-ish?

Mine all hover between Seven Samurai and basement exterminator, tending more toward Seven Samurai.

Haha, yeah, I'm completely stupid on any period not Sengoku so I can sympathize. Utter truth about the way the lore gun is wielded less with grace and tact and more like a child with a chainsaw.

Not true. The Dutch and Portuguese extensively traded with feudal-era Japan, and notable daimyo such as Oda Nobunaga and Date Masamune were all about foreign technology, even to the point that Date was so friendly to foreigners he established dialogue with the Pope, launched Japan's first across-the-world naval expedition, and invited Christians to practice, preach, and live in his territories. And there were at least three well-known instances of foreigners actually becoming samurai, but those mostly took place in the Tokugawa shogunate and I'd have to look them up to give proper details on them. While it is true that the Dutch and Portuguese were largely limited to one tiny little fort in Tokyo Bay, that doesn't change the fact that they were there. It wasn't, in fact, until mid-to-late Tokugawa shogunate that Japan went the route of "ALL GAIJIN BAD :<<< WE NO LYKE U HEER" Apologies for the real-world loredump, Senogku era history is a bit of an amateur hobby of mine.

Well, different strokes, I guess. As was said up-thread somewhere, given that Doma has been heavily trading with Limsa for years and years, and Limsa has a large enclave of miqo's, it doesn't strike me as at all odd that there would be miqo's in Doma. Any sort of majority? No. But enough to justify having one as a character.

No, I'm talking about the Imperial shadows you fight various times over the course of the NIN quests. I remember there being miqo's because I do a little sadface every time I have to kill a catgirl. But after a while, I got so pissed at that level 40 quest that I was just on a murder'em'all rampage.

Not invalid, but consider this. The majority of Garlean NPCs you see in the NIN questline are of their shinobi corps. Given that they had been active about a month or so in Eorzea by the time of the NIN quests, and had plenty of miqo's in their ranks, doesn't it logically follow to assume that they got them from conquered Doma?

Again, the fights post 2.4, such as in North Than vs. the Ivy and the sapper teams trying to blow up the processing plant. Healthy amounts of miqo and roe in both groups.

Having read your character sheet through a time or two, looks good to me.

I don't actually know if there's more information on it or if it was made up, I just assumed that it was confirmation on there being a Doman Miqo'te. All I really know about is the Lalafellan Doman. :blush: That was in reference to Garlean NPCs in Castrum Centri, not Domans.

Supra-late reply but I've been at work all day. Presumably the one miqo and one lala you refer to is from the instanced version of Castrum Centri? That's good that you're aware of that one, but have you paid attention to the assortment of Garlean enemies that come up in duties post-2.4? And in the NIN questline in particular. I saw more miqo Garleans in those instances than I did of the other races.
