Might be in the wrong off-topic section. Sorry if that's the case. now to the point. For those of you here that have played Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Order of Ecclesia, Portrait of Ruin, Dawn or Aria of Sorrow, Harmony of Dissonance or Circle of the Moon, you may know thise name well; Koji Igurashi, AKA IGA. He is the man we know as "The father of Metroidvania". Well, he's making a new game, and the name of it is in the title. I am simply ecstatic for this game. Out of IGA's works, my favorite is without a doubt Order of Ecclesia, though I have played almost every Castlevania to date (My favorite of the series being Castlevania: Bloodlines. New Generation for the EU people). Right now it's over $3.5 million and I'm so glad it has been so wildly successful. There are four days left to the kickstarter, and if I had the money, I'd definitely give IGA a good donation; He's brought some of the best (and most consistent, quality wise) games to date and I'm almost certain Bloodstained will be another masterpiece. Feel free to pledge, feel free not to. If you're interested, at least keep an eye on it.

Somebody say cheesecake? ('-' )

Just letting you guys know I added a wiki page for Memenu, and I would appreciate some help formatting it, mainly because I'm [really] bad at that kind of stuff. That and it's only a placeholder for now until the backstory is fully complete.

Now that I think of it, I would like a set resembling the Valkyrie Armor of the Valkyrie Profile series. It looks nice, practical, and above all it's naturally blue. (and can come in a deep purple as well)

I would really love to see things like One-handed axes, polearms, actual claws (or more unique fist weapons, like a bagh'nak), qatars, crossbows or using shields like actual weapons (Example; Paladin/Crusader from Ragnarok Online)

One does not simply kill a Primal with a single bullet to the face. ( '-')

Apparently we're on the same wavelength then. Cool.

THMs get "cudgels" but they're used for SHOOTING MAGIC But you could also use them as a melee weapon. You won't be cranking out metric tons of damage but... STR....Black Mage... The correct term is "Muscle Wizard".

When she clashed with Midgarsormr and later Vishnap, the mini-Primal known as Memenu was impressed. She craved stronger foes. She needed them. With the Ascians in hiding and hordes of adventurers constantly grouping up to try and kill her, she knew it was time to move. The Garleans all but defeated and no means of enacting judgement upon them, she turned her eyes north, hoping that there was a match equal to her might. However, her body was starting to decay from the recent enemies she fought and knew without a larger, more resilient body, she would drift back into the aether, and with it; her hopes for vengeance against those who would harm the very race she was summoned to protect would be in vain. But how? Or better yet, "who", would be the next vessel for her? In a thought of malicious irony, she had found it; an Au Ra would serve as a new host.

Second post of page 5, War Scythes were more or less like polearms (IE Halberds and poleaxes) than the traditional wheat cutter. While I admit Scythes are not only awesome due to how they look (and the physical mechanics in using one), but as a weapon, you're better off using a Fauchard or a spear. However, despite being impractical, they are pretty cool.

Just gonna leave this here even though I'm kinda beating a dead horse that's already been beaten ('-' ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_scythe

Welcome to the forums. Hopefully you enjoy your stay.

The thing is; I highly recommend the profanity filter to be on, just in case. While I'd have no problems with my kid (I don't have one, so being hypothetical here) playing an MMO, the fact of the matter depends on the MMO (IE TERA being a no-no because I don't need to explain to them why X character is practically wearing nothing). Though I don't see a problem with him trying out FF14, him being supervised is kind of a must, just because reasons.

I suppose it just requires more time to work on, then. I honestly thank you guys (and girls) all the input you've given me. It really means alot.

Welcome to the forums. I hope you enjoy your stay like I am, even if I'm a little argumentative.

Updated memenu's profile again. Need to talk about the whole villain thing (preferably in PMs so we don't spoil anything) ('-' )

I'm still stuck on it, unsurprisingly them second golems are no joke, man.

While that would be rather cool if Memenu was an Elder Primal, the problem I can see is that it'd cause a rework of the backstory, which I suppose (wouldn't) be a problem. Though I think they'd (adventurers, scions, warrior of light, etc) still hunt her down, it'd more or less allow the removal of a limiter to her strength (though because this is a player character, limits still need to be there just for the sake of fairness).

Updated Memenu's profile just a little bit.

Either way, it sounds like a huge oversight on the part of the devs to not at least have the boxes of crystals near the Primals when they're summoned. Either way, the drain on the planet issue is something that I hoped would've been bypassed by giving Memenu a legitimate living body over a body requiring Aether and crystals to continue to manifest. However, it seems that the issue is to stay, regardless of steps taken.

Sorry, I was tired as hell last night, that's why I didn't reply to your comment, Reppu. The one who acted as sacrifice for Memenu had her soul more or less burned away as Memenu's Aether took control; the final thoughts a constant echo in her 'mind'. I'm not entirely sure a Primal "goes mad" through devouring Aether. Maybe I missed something (more than likely) and I don't remember. also, Terra; did you ever play on Siren at some point? your character name is familiar.

I think a lot of people do. Just in 2.5 alone, I know for a fact Memenu would be caving skulls in due to the amount of fury she felt for seeing the Sultana die right in front of her. Of course, this alone would've triggered one hell of a witchhunt on her due to obvious reasons.

Going by the Story, the only ones (to my knowledge) that felt a Primal's presence was Limsa Lominsa with Titan's quakes. Ifrit was only found out due to the Hero of Light being sent to investigate disappearances out in Thanalan. (Though to be fair, it was at this point where both Ul'Dah and Gridania knew Ifrit and Garuda had already been summoned. Titan was purposely trying to bring down Lominsa, and Leviathan, who we could assume was also already summoned at this point was MIA.) You're still gonna be sucking aether out of the land like a junkie. There isn't a single example of a primal existing without stripping aether out of the land. It's a huge downside of their existence and is the reason there are immediate efforts to put them down. And this is the one Problem I cannot figure out how to get around. Crystals are easy enough to get in small quantities and could potentially act as a supplemental mask (I think), but the consistent purchase of crystals will most likely raise questions eventually. (However, as an adventurer, the Warrior of Light gets a metric shitton of 'em)

The problem is; Iceheart calls upon Shiva's powers, while Memenu literally uses the soulless body as her own living body. Obviously the body's going to need sustenence somehow; eating, drinking, sleeping, etc. As good as these questions are, I'm not versed enough in the lore to actually have, what I believe, is a reasonable opinion, and I'm actually starting to run out of possibilities on how this could work because of how good these questions are, lol. -edit- I apparently don't know how to use quotes. Fixed.

1a. Since she was summoned by Lalafells under blight of the Garleans, would she not be able to handle the problem there? There would most likely be too many for her to deal with, especially when not accustomed to a body she was "forced" to inhabit. She'd still be at an advantage strength-wise, but the physical limits of her mortal vessel would make it impossible to continue fighting for very long, especially if the new body isn't "her's" to begin with. 1b. Basically, how do you excuse her wandering about after being sommoned where the ritual happened? Even if her "companions" escaped with her from the Garleans (since we know that this most likely happened somewhere in Thanalan, since Lalafell, specifically Dunesfolk, are practically everywhere in Thanalan), her vastly limited power (for a Primal), would require much more help than her merry group could give her. Roaming about the town would potentially allow her to find allies (or as everyone else has obviously stated; enemies) in stopping the Garleans. I haven't been ignoring it, I've just been thinking about it. Since the body used to be that of one of her followers, and that it is a physical (read; a naturally created, living) body, would, or could it completely negate the draining of Aether? I don't know, the reason; It hasn't been explored or even commented on in-lore. It'd explain the lack of need for crystals, Tempered followers, etc, but it would be a bit too...Convenient, so to speak.
