I usually think that most characters who end up writing their characters way too deep in past or present in the lore or the game itself end up making major mistakes. I won't deny that upcoming 2.4 story through 3.0 Heavensward will make me end up retconning a lot of stuff especially when they are introducing Dravanians. (This is one reason I haven't written any of Anelia's past stuff yet in details because I wanted to know about northern Aldenard lores before I start scribbling down and someone comes up to me and say "you did something wrong") In every MMORPG games, they give basic lores but they make it so hard for roleplayers to write their character to the full potential because not all lores were fully explained enough. 1.0 did explain, sure. But I think it was still limited regardless. Though I have no problem on retconning and rewriting people, I'll have to let people know that I am changing my character. <>

Due to some lore questions that were answered. Do you feel that your character requires a lot of Retcon or fix entire part of your character? As of right now, there are still unanswered parts that I've not received from some of the questions I've posted in FFXIV official forums. So I am still not sure how many parts I'd have to retcon within my character/alts. But I am kind of glad that I don't have to retcon 50-100% of my characters since I've been building them as I've been reading lores and timelines to match with them. Some ideas are dropped because lores explain that it doesn't work, so it is understandable. I think everyone should at least have their chance to always fix their character and retcon something differently rather than deleting/change character because they did something wrong. Never said first submit on your essay will be considered your final grade to your paper anyways.

The Dragoon class system was already messy with the skills given to them. I doubt there will be any class balance systems since Final Fantasy classes had its own unique traits. Every one of them. To my belief, they are already "balanced". It's just matter of how players see if they are balanced or not. In the end, it just comes down to your style of playing, your skill and gears over how balance works. But if we are talking about people wasted their effort on gaining awesome gears at the end game because of new expansions, WoW and other MMORPGs have done this a lot. This also applied to FFXI where when lvl 99 cap came out, the lvl 75 Dynamis gears meant nothing afterwards. It's just marketing by developers to make players to regain their efforts to gain cooler gears or play longer so they dont get bored. If you did succeed in clearing the end-game dungeon on that old expansion or old content, the only thing you'll probably get would be a hand shake or achievement. Also I would love to see Monk use Hundred Fists. They were originally supposed to have it too.

While I want to try to agree with Coatleque's statement in people not wanting to level anymore because of extra skills that we will have to use, but honestly - I'd be really irritated of myself unable to play this game to explore newer parts of the world if I can't have a purpose, and that is getting EXP and leveling up. As of right now, at level 50 - I am stuck. Getting new ilvl gear is not going to put my interest in going into newer contents. I mean, sure. We can also talk about new classes and we have to level from 1 through 60 and it'll get boring and tedious. But sometimes, it's fun and something to kill your time since more people will get bored as hell if they aren't doing end game or Roleplaying after hitting the highest level.

I am in Ward 7 of Mist , well the FC house is literally mine but I'd like to see if people in Ward 7 would leave soon :C It sucks because you cant sell the plot or get money back from it.

"Why is there an AT Field standing in front of me!?"

The continuity.

When Anelia met someone like 8 months ago, this was the result.

So apparently I am informed that some people were not pleased with the system I've created into this fight. I'd appreciate it if you would leave feedbacks instead of trying to step back away from it. I'd prefer this to be a very big event and I want this to happen and if people are going to show negative side about it, then it's going to be a discouraging for any event that I might host. If no one is going to ever try to say anything then what's the point of trying to make any events work, right? So please leave a feed back and we can work it out instead.

You can feel free to PM me through Anelia Sadowyn (mostly my main) or Mizuho Mitarashi instead.

Now there's an interesting idea. Give everyone numbers, and when you're number is called, you're thrown into the ring. Maybe you get to know who you are partnered with, or maybe you have to figure it out yourself. It'll be the best idea to have if people cannot find their partners to make the team work happen Besides, there is like only three to five people interested in it. I'd rather hope that more people would join in this.

There is still good 6-7 days until you make your final decision. If you don't know who you want to partner up with, then I'll just randomly partner up with someone for you.

I am really not pleased that most of the calendar in this lore is harder for me to keep in track of the time. Like do we know how many years have passed from 2.0 to 2.3? Or even 1.0 to 2.3? I had been just saying normally that it's been 6 years from the end of 1.0 to 2.3 but because the planet cycles around faster than Earth does, chances are that many character's ages have gone really old than they expect.

UGH I am trying to get SweetFX working but no dice. ;_; I am doing it wrong and I cant seem to move the cameras nicely as yours.

Dates have changed! It is now Fridays instead!

I really love how when we bring it into realism and I have to bring Mendel's genetic cross-breeding theory. "When XY and xy meet together as Brown eyed and blue eyed meet each other..."

She wouldn't have a third eye if she weren't pure-blooded. I think you missed my point. I said if she's like an illegitimate part of the family member as in non-pure blood due to the mother's side being non-Garlean, would this affect her from having the ability to use aether since the genetics would be dominant to her mother's side.

So basically, the Amdaporean character of mine isn't fully breaking the White Mage rule there I am glad at least.

Yeah I read that. Whelp. Might as well make her just a gladiator then. But this only applies as full blooded Garlean, yes? Unless we make it half blood or whatever. Though this is a very tough and sensitive subject now.

Anelia looks at the citadel, feeling slightly cold and eerie by the hostile aura. It was no simple aura. Full of death, and hatred. Perhaps she just felt it that way because she heard about the citadel's description from Inessa. She narrowed her eyes and got off the raft with a disgust down inside her heart. She walked along with everyone else and gave a slight survey around the area. "Well Inessa wasn't kidding when this entire place was filled with uneasy dark aura."

I spoke with Sindl for a while but yes, the dates have to be rearranged or have to be discussed. Though since it is literally the same thing, and it is an annual/seasonal event - I figured it'd be placed around the same time. Edit: With the way it's going, I will possibly move to Friday night instead because seems like Saturday has Grindstone and Sunday has Fight Club. However, I'll work it out with Sindl more about the timed details.

Derplander done sold out I always remembered that every new expansion that had class/job focus because of lores usually get major buffs. DRG Overpowered. Please look forward to it.
