I don't appreciate your ruse.

Ledge sit animations. For non-chairs and non-ground.

Give me this helmet while you're at it.

This. Please.

Not sure what this is in reference to. Back on topic, as requested. We need pipes like they had in LOTRO. EDIT: Oh I get it. Nevermind. Derailing a topic is apparently me. It's not. But sure, I'll take it.

Nah, dawg. That ain't me.

One of the rules is just a Bill & Ted quote? And they got to Section 4 before writing in the part about not treating each other like garbage? 10/10 Top tier rule book. Would follow rules again. On a more (or less) serious note, there's a real lack of non-goofy shirts in this game. I suggested one earlier, but I could suggest chest items all day. Idk what the makers of this game were thinking. There is a level 50 jacket with a Bee Gees neckerchief and a bull whip, and it can only be used by LNC/DRG, the last people who need a restricting leather leisure suit. Why? What is this?

Yes! I want a Japanese war club, for knocking Lalafells out of the park. This is the closest I'm going to get to having a baseball bat so I can turn my lalafell into Eorzean Ness. Someone should make this happen.

just want to hone in on this bit. It is incorrect, as ascertained through the THM questline. here are people who are physically/mentaly incapable of casting THM magic. As to what I want? gimme my rapier! By "everyone in the game" I am referring to player characters. I'm pretty sure I can level THM on all of my characters. The THM quest can say "some people can't do it!" all they want, but every time I've walked into that building they've handed me a quest called "So You Want to be a Thaumaturge" and given me access to their abilities without question... so... Idk, make of it what you want. Also, doesn't change the physical attributes of the characters in the game, nor does it justify something about scythes. I don't even remember how this relates to the dumb scythe argument anymore. Also, yes, rapier. Good choice.

Keep the character on the account because it doesn't do any harm to have it there, but also remind the kid to talk to his parents before he can play. You're still the good guy, but the problem resolves itself. Also "Final Fantasy is for girls, Warcraft is for boys" ...Is the dad also 9 years old? Both of these games have the same general demographics if I'm not mistaken. A lot of both genders, with imbalances leaning toward the male side. I can see Final Fantasy having a higher percentage of female players than Warcaft or Warhammer, but not by enough of a staggering amount to have it called "a girl's game." To be honest, it's probably still under or around 50% He is right though, an MMO is no place for a nine year old child. Seventeen might be a bit much, I started around thirteen, but that was back in the days before WoW blew up and few people knew or cared wtf MMOs were. (Yes I know, EQ and FFXI and RuneScape and whatever garbage were all around before WoW, but it definitely is the biggest factor in the popularity of the genre as a whole.)

Large cartoony baseball bat, please.

TROO. Fair enough. About two years ago it was a lot worse with the closings. I swear I couldn't disagree with anyone without someone warning to close the thread. Then it always turned into "Do it. You won't do it." and now there's a lot of closed threads in the lost annals of RPC history.

There's nothing wrong with disagreeing in a public forum. The idea that we all need to put down our singular opinion and ignore (or even worse, unanimously agree with) the posts of others is pretty counter-productive to fleshing out a strong community.

Why? We're having a discussion.

It's been used as a weapon of necessity, not a weapon of choice. It has a blade and a handle, so it beats trying to punch a guy in a life or death situation. In the middle ages, peasants slung rocks from slings of cloth, but I'm sure they would have preferred a sword and shield. Using the closest device that can kill a man in a time of desperation isn't evidence of it being a good weapon. I would grab the scissors if some guy tried to strangle me to death in an arts and crafts store, but I'm not about to take them to Afghanistan with me. Scythes were available because they are farming tools, but those people would've chosen a bayoneted musket or a sabre over a scythe 100% of the time. As for it being used in Final Fantasies before, this is very true. It has been. And I can still remember grumbling about having to equip one because it had better stats than my greatsword in FFXI. Concerning unconditional hatred towards stuff that seems even remotely anime: Idk how many people hate things that are anime-esque in a game like this. This seems pretty anime centric, and being such, you are totally in your right to suggest scythes and wacky hair-dos and asymmetrical clothing. Seriously. If you were going to do it in any game, this would be the one. It's a Final Fantasy game after all. If this were LOTRO I'd be pretty vocal about my distaste for it. As it stands, though, I don't like anime and I never will. Sorry. It just doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. I've given it a fair chance multiple times and it does nothing for me. I can't get into the recurring plot tropes (not an insult. Every medium has recurring tropes), I don't understand Japanese humor, and I'm not a huge fan of the art style. But I've also been reading comic books for eighteen years and some people have similar complaints about that, so I can't be too harsh. When it comes down to it, people are all looking for different things in the same game. Disagreements happen, but that doesn't make anyone's opinion invalid. Yours or mine.

For a weapon, I'd go with a rapier or sabre or something. I always really liked the RDM class and I wish it was in the game, plus fencing was a personal hobby of mine for a few years irl. Or, on the other hand, maybe a two-handed mace to put in with WAR, or like a 1h axe for PLD. Something a little more brutal and medieval than what we're used to, as opposed to the sleek, shiny, stylistic weapons and animations the game is riddled with. Certainly not a scythe. What am I, a bronze age farmer? That's not even a weapon. An axe that can only stab? And the edge is on the inside? It's super effective! Sorry. Don't mean to call people out, but I've wrote off entire fantasy universes for thinking a scythe would be a cool weapon to give a character. The Grim Reaper never uses the scythe as a weapon. It's a symbol for cutting lives down indiscriminately and apathetically like wheat in a field. Also, the symbolism of spring being the time for birth and winter being when everything dies. Harvest comes right before winter, and I shouldn't have to explain this any further because we should all know what symbols are. For a prop or a non-weapon piece of gear, it sounds cheesey, but I really wouldn't mind like a backpack/satchel/knapsack. Partly because my character spends a lot of time outside of cities and outposts, but also because I've always dreamed of making a lore appropriate lalafell tribute to Ness from Earthbound.

Ha... Yeah.... Boy would they...
