Blue

I've caught a friend's IC date cheating on him once. No wonder she's now an ex~

I also have a question about the wiki. Is it possible to delete pages? I have recently let one of my characters die IC (will Fantasia/Name Change her into an Au Ra when the time comes), and I don't seem to find a way to take her away from the wiki.

My character Clive Stark is one of the kids that were in Ala Mhigo when it was invaded 20 years ago, and who got brainwashed by the imperials. His father was a pure blood Garlean, and he is VERY loyal to the Empire. Will look you up for an invite sometime~

Sorry since I stopped RPing out of anxiety I took it off. In-game as Kage Kiryuu. Invites will start going out in... 3-4 hours as it's at 3pm. Edit: I'm really sorry if things mess up by an hour, i forgot Daylight savings was not yet started when i first said the time. No worries, I'll be online doing some crafting/spiritbonding, hit me up whenever, unless you want to rep me with someone who needs the clear (I offered to help with T5, but I'm on T6)! Either way, send a friend request when you're on. I'll love to help even with EX primals, still need lots of weekly weapons and the extra cards for MGP are always nice!

I did, but while this may stop the person, it will not stop more people from deciding to do so... This thread is the root.

Okay... since we have gotten to the point where I am being insulted via /tells by complete strangers, for I suspect this thread (it's the only thing I have written so far that seems to make some people angry, I believe), I'd kindly ask that it is closed and deleted. I have made this thread to ask an information and express my opinion. To see my game experience suffer for it because people cannot cope with the thought that not everyone thinks the way they do, and so feel the need to harass them in game, is a very disheartening experience that I did not expect especially from a mature community as the RPC. I know the person who has insulted me in-game is a roleplayer (it only takes some search, it's not hard), and I have tried to apologize to them via in-game, but they've already logged off or blacklisted me, because I cannot reach to them in-game. If you are still checking this thread, after asking "do I know you?" after your offensive tell, I tried to send the following, which did not reach you: "Well, I'm not sure who you are, but I am sorry you were offended for something I have done or said (I honestly do not remember you, I apologize); please know that I do not act with ill feelings towards anyone in this game. I hope you have a good day, still." I hope this will be a sufficient answer even to those who in the future may feel the urge to do the same thing this person did to me. I do not express my opinion to seek conflict or mistreatment, and I definitely have not attacked any player or person in any of my posts before, I am positive. I was taught to treat others how you want to be treated, and this is not it. Please cease the personal attacks and close this thread, thank you.

I don't know who you are in-game, Kage, and your RPC profile says nothing sooo... I'm currently waiting as Jet'a Vann (as written in the Doodle), if you still need me to help with T5.

This is going to sound snotty, but I can't think of a different way to phrase so, it please prematurely remove the venom from my next couple of sentences. Did you actually DO CoP when it came out? I didn't, I didn't do the Promy encounters until like, 2008, and they were ball-bustingly hard. It wasn't "just" level 30 content, it was synced to level 30. It required practically a strike team of well-geared, good-playing classes (or a flock of summoners, but again, that required a lot of effort too). 30 wasn't the max level, but you could not enter those fights at a higher level due to the way the zones worked. Please don't let memory of the game dull its fangs at all: CoP locked lots of the expansion away behind very difficult fights. I have done it when I joined, in 2006. I did just as I hit lv30 actually, because I could. Sure, there were wipes, but it was not super hard. All it took was to collect Animas to stun the bosses in the end. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- What I meant, and still mean, is that it did not require to beat all of the previous game to do. And again, not all areas (and definitely, none of the jobs, and yes, I am SPECULATING jobs will be started in Ishgard because all the clues about them point in that direction, from SE saying that the Ishgardian Astrologians are different from the ones in Coerthas, and from the trailer showing the NPC in Machinist AF inside Ishgard. I HOPE I'm wrong, and there's no hate in my words, I'd like if people stopped insinuating that.), I was saying, not all areas were locked behind even Promyvion. Both I and Mae have brought up example. The same went for Rise of the Zilart. Endgame zones were locked behind mission progress (and yes, I've found out RoZ storyline required the cap of base game storyline back then, I was not aware), but the open regions and the jobs again, weren't. I do not hate SE or Yoshida or anyone, and I hope I have interpretated the Live Letter and other clues wrong, but I'm a type that hopes for the best and expects the worst. I'll go back and edit my OP now because clearly I've worded it in a way that is misleading people, and that is my mistake, but I'd rather to tone down the discussion so that I do not feel so lapidated anymore.

I don't remember if CoP required you to clear RotZ first. All I really remember are shitty level caps that required you to keep ALL OF YOUR GEAR FOREVER. Buying CoP didn't give you access to anything except the balls-hard fights required to access the new zones, the new city, the new story and everything that wasn't jobs. Zilart required you to complete everything to unlock Sky. Aht Urghan was different in that regard, opening a lot from the door, but there is a precedent for buying an SE MMO and having it be an empty box save for a pile of IOU: Patch Content notes. Actually the city was behind only a lv30 sequence of figths (promyvions) which wasn't even the max level at the time. It did not require Rank missions progress, and most importantly, the thing I'm talking about from the beginning, Jobs were not gated behing CoP progress, nor were all the areas. Endgame areas were, as they should, but the others required only under-level-cap progress OF THE EXPANSION, not of the main game (and some not even that: Bibiki Bay, Attohwa Chasm, and some others I've forgotten). But again, the areas were not requiring base game progress, only expansion progress, which makes sense, and the jobs were completely separated from it, which I don't see happening in Heavesward (pretty sure you see who should be the Machinist guildmaster in Ishgard in the movie). As I've said in posts before this, I do not want to skip cutscenes. My issue with all this is that I intended to RP the MSQ as a gun job, that I've been waiting for all this time. I'm not going to repeat the example I made with BLU, you'll find it in page 1 or 2. But that was my intention. Again, I am not asking to access Heavensward's storyline, since it's so strongly tied to the MSQ (something that I think I've never seen an expansion do, sans RoZ, but RoZ revealed the connections later, the base game story did not lead you to RoZ with forced railways-style plots like 2.0 did to 3.0, but oh well). I just think only endgame areas should be gated behind Expansion progress, not jobs or Ishgard itself, which I assume to be Heavensward's base area. My only hope now is that what Yoshida meant is that the quest they will add WITH 2.55 is a MSQ quest but does not require all the previous patches complete to be flagged, like a "branch" that sprouts from somewhere along the mid-MSQ, but I doubt it.

It's not that I wanted to skip it. It's more than I've always wanted a gun job in XIV, and for that I've holded back on doing the MSQ, planning to do it as a gunner when it'd be released. In FFXI, I wanted to go through the main scenario (city missions) as a Blue Mage, so I've bought the expansion, got in Aht Urhgan, unlocked BLU, and then went back to do the city missions. I'm just not used to expansions being branches of the previous version of the game rather than things of their own.

UPDATE: check http://gyazo.com/ed62d177c244475b02a7fc084ae81dbf Can someone please point me an MMO who before now has released an expansion which required full clearance of the base game to even let you see its areas or unlock its jobs and was successful (making an assumption here, clues and images were shown where it seems that at least two of the jobs are based inside Ishgard).? I've only played FFXI, I admit, so I'm ignorant in fact of MMOs out of that (and for this, please bear with me, I'm not one of those who think XIV=XI, but it's the only other MMO I have played, so it's the only one I can make comparisons with). But never has ever FFXI locked an expansion's access to its non-endgame areas such as cities or places where jobs are unlocked behind a lv75-must have, or a City-Missions-Completion requirement (Edit: Apparently Rise of the Zilart did in terms of storyline, but again, the open regions and jobs were not gated behind it). If I wanted to be a Blue Mage, all I needed was to be level 30 and to buy the Aht Urhgan expansion. There. And with some stealth I could even explore the Aht Urhgan areas, notoriously crawling with things that'd chew on my lv30 body in one go because, obviously, the expansion was made with high level players in mind, but not gated and restricting new players like me, or people who do not really feel like doing one hundred quests on every character and every alt like a zombie. I did not expect to be allowed to fly or do side-quests or anything, but as I know a lot of people plan to move their RP there, I cannot help but feel pushed away a little, and I really wanted to do the MSQ as a gun job, so I've been holding back for that too. I like the MSQ (I RP it, as some of you may or may not remember), and to feel pressed on rushing through it just for the sake of even just seeing Ishgard and be with the other roleplayers makes me feel sad. Plus, a RL friend of mine is going to finally join the game, just for DRK (he loves DRK, always been it in FFXI and didn't come to XIV because it wasn't there), and I don't quite know how to explain that maybe he'll have to do all patches before he can even see it. I hope I'm wrong on this, but I think the statement I've quoted is safe enough to assume that at the very least, newcomers will not get to explore Ishgard. Sorry, I really needed to steam this off. I just... I just don't get it. I don't want to have access to the Ishgard's Scenario without first becoming a Blade of Light, but at least let me through the freaking gate :frustrated:...!

New update yet again. For my RP FC: 27,700,000 26,450,000 gil to reach the 45M goal (for plot + permit). For Blue: I'd really, really really love the Bluebird minion. For Jet'a: Second Coil of Bahamut clearance

New thread was started on the official forums. Here is the link: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/224593-Suggestion-for-a-future-expansion-Industrial-Revolution-themed-ambientations.?p=2834958#post2834958 And here is the body if you're really that lazy. So I have seen many request various type of machinery implementations, as well as other things that many have pointed out do not fit either with Eorzea's current age nor with the Allagan Technology. I, personally, have expressed complaints on the lack of "dirt", filth or steam-punk details. For example, the water in The Tangle, in which the Castrum dumps its sewer waters and in which MORBOLS live, the water is crystal clear. Isn't that a bit off? So I'd love to propose, as early as this may be, to eventually let us have ambientations typical of the Industrial Revolution in Europe. This would include the typical things of the Industrial Revolution that occurred in the 800s, such as factories, labor, poverty, illnesses, and buildings that flourished thanks to the growing overpopulation in the cities: orphanages, workhouses, brothels, bad affairs alleys and so on. Let me show you some pictures from Fable III's Bowerstone to see what I mean: This would be a great expansion for the release of some things people have been demanding for a while, such as: - Machinery mounts - Trains and railways - A more 'dark' feel As for 'where' this could be taking place, the best I can think of is a country under Imperial control, that is slowly flourishing with the new technology, though also meeting the issues typical of an Industrial Revolution, from over-exploit of the natural resources, pollution, bad working conditions, child labor, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please give any kind of support to the original thread. Seriously, it doesn't take that long to log on the Official Forums, and Likes and replies over there do count for the devs!

"Son of a Seeker", referring to the Nuhn's role in a tribe, is the hands-down favorite of all my racist-natured characters.

I recommend bumping the thread this thread was made to promote (shameless link here), as if there's a place the devs might look at, that is it.

I should be up and free at that time. Just send me a tell in case I forget. I tend to do that <__<;

i100 is plenty enough for t6 @_@ All right then, colour me interested! I've put up my availability on your Doodle.

I'd like to offer my help with T5 if that will then get me a solid group of friends to help me get through the dreaded T6! Mind you, my highest is ilvl103 BLM, so I do not know if you'll want that kind of gimp help. But I'm here.

Yugiri being a key character they'll never make her outfit available to the player in the same way that almost every key character has a unique outfit/appearance. I also feel like her hood thing is more of a Ninja thing and less of an Au Ra thing. That still supports the lore issue for players starting the game as Au Ras though, don't you agree? I don't think all Au Ras (nor all Eorzeans) will immediately be comfortable with how they look, so ways to conceal their features would be a nice addition to justify the fact that you CAN start the game as an Au Ra. Plus, I didn't really specify it has to be exactly like Yugiri's. something that matched their starting outfits would be best imo, so in the white/black tones. The shape could be different too for that matter, but I still think they deserve something to hide their faces/horns.

Update! I've started a new thread that I'm sure all the wanna-be Au Ras will find appealing. Here's the link: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/222855-Small-glamour-request-for-Au-Ra-Yugiri-s-Hood%21?p=2813229#post2813229 Please show your support or share your feedback, preferably on the official forums!

Out of curiosity, where will these donations go to? Is there some project in mind for the site that requires an amount of cash expense (server upgrade, I don't know)?

Girl RPer here, proudly main-RPing male characters! (I have made female characters too but they were mostly friend's requests/alts for story connections with my mains) And yeah, way way way too many girls around.

I'm sure there's many Italians who listen to Caparezza as I do, but hell, I'm on a server of NAs and I haven't met any Italian yet, so I think this fits the title. Caparezza is an Italian rapper who writes songs mostly on a satirical level, but also of themes very serious and dramatic, or topics avoided in general (he even made a song about videogames!). Here's one of my favorite songs that he wrote, featuring Tony Hadley. The title is Goodbye Malinconia, and it talks about the many people who, like me, dream of/decide to leave Italy to find a better life elsewhere.

Just want to let you guys know that I DC'd in Gold Saucer (due to power outage), and I was able to return online immediately without getting bounced. Though maybe, it's just the late hour.

I... cheated and loaded up the game before going to work. If it hasn't downloaded after that eight hour period, though, I'm gonna be miffed. I tried to it as well, but the client crashed while I was asleep... T-T
