I think Aldeus is referring to the many crafting materials gained by killing enemies. Leatherworkers in particular will be SOL without some hunters out there skinning beasts, and Culinarians will be forced to rely mostly on vegetarian and seafood dishes.

Ten whole weeks! You won't be back until just after launch. D: Have a great time, wherever you'll be!

Pretty sure Tyonis is just invoking an old meme.

Psssst! This is what the character reference thread is for, not individual artists art threads (unless they specifically say they're looking for people to draw).

My thoughts exactly.:thumbsup:

Ehhhn. Ninja also comes from Thief in the very original Final Fantasy, but Knight (essentially Paladin) comes from Warrior in that too. I don't think we should make a classic Job into a Class just because it synchs up with how Jobs worked in previous games. In FFXIV, a classic Job is a Job you get from a Soul Crystal being equipped with the right Class. Classes are something more basic, about the weapon or tool you hold in your hand, and never a (deliberate) reference to past series games.

You can! But not until launch, so you're stuck with the old version through all the remaining Beta tests, and only once, so make sure you play with the character creator a lot through Beta so you can nail down exactly what you want your character to look like in the end. Welcome!

definitely* Even spellcheckers can't get around you using the wrong word!

Highlander-five! Yes! Welcome to this place! We're very nice people, I swear.

Nael Van Darnus was an Elezen. One of the new fancy Garleans (they're not Legati, but I forget what their rank was named) hanging out with Gaius Van Baelsar is clearly a Roegadyn.

No worries, Uther. I was addressing it more at Merri, it's just that you were perpetuating his statements, so that seemed to be the best point to quote from. No problem with the ideas, just that it seemed to be unnecessarily alarmist about something that had seemed to have already met with tacit approval by the general participants of the thread. It's just not something that has anything worth saying more on. Yes, we need to keep in mind that we don't know the full story, but what we do know already will never not be relevant or invalidated. It's just the speculative/fanon part that we have to be careful not to get carried away on before we see what gaps will be filled.

Mimes are super cool, but I really don't know how you got that from Marauder. I think a second Job for that is more likely to be Berserker, taking particular inspiration from FFX-2 where going into Berserk mode was an option, not a default. Of course, you can't have a type of character in an MMO that automatically deals massive damage without any input at all, so it'd have to be amended further. So, maybe they get Berserk as a toggle that switches them to attack with automatically chosen (based on context, not purely random) abilities, but there's also a UI change that swaps out your hotbars for a quicktime event kind of interface. So, if you press a particular button at the right moment, you get a damage boost to the ability in use. Of course, that'd be a bit jarring as something you could do constantly, but maybe for 30 seconds every two minutes? And you could still move around and change your target while its active. I think Mime would need a new Class to start from. Some kind of DoM with a weird weapon, because Mime definitely has to come from a magical background. Maybe it could share its base class with Blue Mage? I think that would make a lot of sense.

Pssh. There's no real need for a proper introduction, if you don't feel like making one, but much appreciation for doing it! Also, Doctor Steel avatar! :thumbsup:

I think you just got lost in the flood of recent sign-ups and other activity across the forum. That's why I just went through and greeted everyone who hadn't gotten much of a reply to their threads. :thumbsup:

He's very *ahem* ...rugged. Hah! But damn, such characterful and just plain good art right there.

Hiya! I think I kind of knew of you in GW2, though not so much as Toxa. But some of the friends I made were friends of yours, I think, and that's good enough for me!

Moogles are wonderful. :moogle: Welcome to the RPC!

I never really played FFXI. Always heard there was no RP at all. Anyway, welcome aboard the ARR-train! :cactuar:

I hope you have some great experiences with the game and us. Maybe it won't be for everyone, but I really want to believe it will be for anyone who gives it an honest chance, like yourself.

I'm glad you picked FFXIV as your first MMO for delving deep into RP, because we have a fantastic, warm and helpful RP community here!

I think, I think I may have seen Tiv wandering around once or twice. Welcome back! :moogle:

Sounds like you've got some great experience with MMO roleplay. FFXIV:ARR is frankly a great game to be a roleplayer in. 8-)

Hi there! Your avatar looks kinda like Blank from FFIX. I approve~ I hope your friends also come around here and say hi! :thumbsup:

Quoted for utter factuality.

Since you have an existing account, I think you just need to log in or something, but don't quote me on it. I'm sure someone who has more recent/relevant knowledge will be able to help you soon! Hope you enjoy yourself! :moogle:
