Oh, so we're actually getting the motorbike? Heh. Somehow I'm not as mad as I thought I would be. In fact, I think it'd make for a cool mount for my PvE main when I go MCH. I would've preferred a chopper motorbike if I had to choose, but eh. I hope it won't be a veteran reward though. Edit: Nevermind. So you CAN'T get it.

Tomestones every 2 big patches, as always.

To be honest I was thinking of Blue's Blastoise from the Pokemon Adventures manga... Then I realized it wouldn't be possible due to the Adamantoise's anatomy... and the obvious lack of cannons.

Isaulde could know the Grey Knives - actually, she could've even been one of them in her youth, because before becoming a Dark Knight she was part of an unspecified criminal group, and she is a Duskwight to boot. However, while she tends to protect the lowborn from the corrupt nobles, she'd also protect the highborn (if she feels they deserve it) from the lowborn, if it's needed. She could be either an ally or an enemy for the Grey Knives.

"There's a reason Santa created a Naughty List. And you're just one of those reasons Isaulde Rabelais." B-but, Santa! She saves people's lives! Sure, by killing other people, but... Aww. "Wow Ume Kogane, rescuing those Orphans from that burning building got you a free ride on Santa's Nice List for years to come!" Well, I disagree, because she kills for money, but... How did they guess she once saved two orphans? I'm legitimately scared. "Well Glaive Aegis, right now your teetering on Santa's Nice List. You could help around the house more instead of watching so much television." Considering that Glaive Aegis is basically my author avatar, that's fitting, I guess.

Did you know the news? Darth Vader is Luke's father. I know, so shocking.

The i200 version has a nice glow, though.

Well, at least you have the most annoying one done already. Yeah, but I unlocked it only because it was mandatory to unlock Neverreap. But I'm in no rush, anyway. I have three weeks of holidays, it should be more than enough to do this.

And meanwhile I can't even get past the first stage because I'm an idiot and I haven't unlocked flying anywhere but Sea of Clouds and Azys Lla, making grinding FATEs literally impossible~

Dangit.

So, this time I am not gonna talk about other bad players, I'm gonna talk about me, because sometimes I can be just as bad. I had never leveled a DPS (or a healer, for that matter) to 50+, so getting MCH to 60 was an interesting experience. I got it to 60 a few days ago, and thinking I would never be able to... well, get good at it, I had all the cross-classes except for Quelling Strikes. So, I go into Pharos Sirius, with my crappy gear, consisting of a mix of i180 (weapon), i185 (left side) and i190 (right side) gear. I start every boss fight with every buff on, doing a 6.5k-ish Wildfire (can someone tell me if that's at least decent for my ilvl? :V), and... oops. Boss glued to me for a good half of the fight. And the tank had a i200 weapon. And she was from my FC, so I knew she didn't screw up. TL;DR: If you can get Quelling Strikes... GET IT.

Actually, she uses... This. Also, when you first meet her, if you started in Limsa, she's called "Cultured Conjurer" before she's given a name. And her shield is an AST ability, not a WHM one. If anything, being Sharlayan and all, she'd be more likely to be an AST than a WHM. But she is neither. Just a really good Conjurer. At the risk of steering off topic. I must disagree. Even if on the basis of SE's production notes to the VAs alone. That is SE telling the people that portray her and other characters (or that direct the person doing the portrayal) exactly what she is. A WHM, just like Thancred is a THF, Yda is a MNK, etc. Anyway. Did not mean to de-rail from the topic at hand. To steer back to that, it can be seen that many people have very differing opinions and views on just how prolific WHM is or is not. It will probably be debated endlessly like DRG, right up until SE tosses a bunch of them in our faces in a CSes and quests. Rarity is not an issue here, and I cannot stress enough that you should just do you. Do as you want. Rock on with your bad self. Be an Avatar possessing half vampire were-burito if that is your thing. Make interesting story and rp. No one here holds the entire ultimania of FFXIV, or even knows for absolute certain what the heck is or isn't in it. The worse that will happen is you'll be wrong about the "nefarious" method's details, should you go that route. Lots of people have had good advice about character work, which is good stuff. You should also remember one of the best rules of good RP. "An Assassin does not run around a crowded tavern telling everyone that they are an Assassin." So, you do have you character become a WHM by whatever method, who is your character going to trust enough to tell? Yar. While Thancred may be a THF, Yda is not a MNK either. She's just a PGL. I don't get this whole VA thing. If Yda's a MNK, and Y'shtola's a WHM, then why are never seen using Chakras and Succor, respectively, and why do they act like they don't even know what one of those job is? Honestly until I either hear word of god about it (VAs doesn't really count, IMO. They could have been told that just to make them understand better their character's role) or see anything in-game, I'll take the skeptic route and say they are just a PGL and a CNJ. That being said, yeah, we should avoid going off-topic.

But Y'shtola is just a CNJ. An especially good one, mind you, especially but still a CNJ, nonetheless.

^This. I do like action RPGs, but they just can't compare to turn-based RPGs. Still, y'all should've seen this coming, why would they waste time and resources to remaster the original FFVII in HD if they were going to make the same, identical game with updated graphics?

Not sure if I like the WAR axe. I guess I'll have to get it to have a better look at it. There was a bigger image of the MCH gun, and I really like it, but as with every short and/or double-barreled gun, it's gonna look shit with Gauss Barrel.

My character Ume is a Doman ninja. Thing is, she won't tell anyone.

Nah, this is just because of the Armory System. He's not a Dark Knight, he just happens to use a two-handed sword; we probably didn't fight him directly because that would have required SE to create some animations just for him, because all of DRK animations involve darkness.

I still haven't even touched Fisher, but I plan to try and (if I like it) level it when I'm done with leveling Machinist (and Lancer and Archer for its cross-class skills).

Considering that Alphinaud is all the time with the Warrior of Light, I would guess it's Alisaie.

Actually, Cloud of Darkness might be the same as FF3, just like Gilgamesh which is always the same in all games. But for the rest, they're probably different things.

Unless your name is Gilgamesh, that is.

I don't really suspect Artoirel. Emmanellain, on the other hand... I don't trust him one bit.

And there I was hoping something more about the Warrior of Darkness. I mean, why does only the Derplander talk? Where do they come from? What's their name? Why did they attack us? Why are they allied with Elidibus if they were shown enemies of that Ascian? By the way, I really like Thancred's redesign. EDIT: Also what the hell is going on with Urianger? Is he a traitor or not?

Isaulde would ICly wear it just for the fake boobs. She likes to angst about her flat chest, at times.
