Klare

hmm many things to think about here, but I guess all we can really do is wait it out and see what SE is going to do and then what everyone else dose for that. I think for myself personally I'll see what server everyone here wants to join then try to convince my RL friends to go as well. Worst comes to worst I'll just put Klare wherever the the rp community goes and make another character to play with my friends/family. Overall I just hope we can all find a nice server for the role playing community and have enough role players in it to enhance our own enjoyment of the game, without the harassment of rp haters. -- Biggest fear would be to have another wow type rp server where the rpers are always outnumbered by the non-rper/haters.

Woohoo! release date announcement finally! Going to be marking this down on my calendar for sure! Good number of my friends are getting hyped on this as well :lol:

hee hee runs perfect on default res, and just a little below the default setting on high res. Graphic wise all smooth and beautiful. Can't wait to actually play!

Those are of course just artists who like to draw in an anime like style. Here's a pic of a Miqo'te from a screen shot. Her face and eyes are still kind of rounded but I think she looks mature enough. We'll have to see what other faces SE will give us for customization, but until then looks like SE is going after a young look due to the vast majority of players wanting to play young characters.

Anyone else seeing a lot of references or personalities that match eariler final fantasies and characters? Or is it just me? o_O Example/spiolers: [hide]First scene- Makes me think of FF7 with the train assault opening. Gadot- Looks like a mixture of Wakka and Zell put togeather. Lightning- Could possibly be a female squall. Hope- Looks and somewhat reminds me of a younger Tidus from ff10 who also lost his mom and didn't care to much his dad. (course Tidus hated his dad vs Hope only disliking) Final Fantasy 6 Terra's riding machine- During the mini-game in "Chapter 4 The Vile Peaks" Hope takes control of a machine and rides around in it for awhile. I couldn't help but to think of Final Fantasy's 6's mechas that they had Terra riding around on. Vanille- Reminds me of how Selphie may have acted if she was younger from FF8. [/hide] There was a few other things but I can't remember them anymore and I haven't gotten much further then that in FFXIII. By no means am I saying that this is a bad thing, as I always enjoy little Easter like eggs, but I was just wondering if anyone else is seeing these familiar things as well. :cat: Edit: Oh yeah! Cid being in every final fantasy is another example, as well as Biggs and Wedge who even though they are not in every final fantasy they are familiar names within the final fantasy series.

I'm definitely excited. ^^ Already have my pre-sale ready for when it's released. It be awesome if SQ did have some bonus ffXIV stuff with the package! FFXIII will be a nice distraction for many of us, until FFXIV actually comes out :3.

Klare approves! Gives all the detail I think an rper needs, plus let's role players have a chance to think about what type of rper style they themselves fall into.

Yep I agree with Tsumi. Being a freelancer myself (with Klare at least for rp purposes) it be nice to know that us freelancers can still interact and rp with a guild even without being apart of it. Maybe we can make up a non-guildie type guild or hub out of game where all freelancers can hang out and swap idea's, info, or just talk. Maybe even have both an IC page (A general bar for example) and an ooc page for both freelancers and guldies. Then if say someone from a guild wanted to get in contact or rp with a freelancer person they can just find them on the fourms and 1) contact them to set up an rp in game or have a private rp outside of game. 2) invite whoever to an rp event. 3) roleplay and create character development between said characters. 4) can just chat. Only problem I see to that is if there's going to be multiple servers (which more then likely there will be).

Alright just putting in my two gil here :3 1. What constitutes RP? hmm this will bring about a board array of answers as everyone who rps probably learned or was taught differently. For me however, if anyone creates a character with a background story, fears, strengths, weaknesses, goals, likes and dislikes you pretty much are set. -isnât- RP? Same as the first one, but for me it\'s anything that involves a character doing or saying something that\'s ooc. Talking about irl stuff, talking about the mechanics of the game while in game, etc etc. As far as seeing someone doing silly emotes or harassing people around the auction house. Why not? Klare would just look at those people like they were crazy and move away from them while wondering where the guards are, or ignore them completely if it\'s obvious they\'re just being an ass and not rping at all. It all depends on how you play out your character. 2. How do we define âin characterâ (IC)? My personal idea of IC is when you role play a character in reference to the surrounding area and people around you. Your character is portrayed with the personality that you intended with him/her to be with when you first created them, and will reacts to situations that\'s appropriate for that character. Course it\'s always fun to see \"light\" character development within an rp that could potentially change him/her. What is âout of characterâ (OOC)? Any references to anything outside of the game. Game mechanics talk, and characters acting out in ways that doesn\'t fit the personality that you intended them to have. Course if it\'s story related that a character suddenly changes through a certain event that would be fine. 3. Whatâs the difference between hardcore, casual, and freelance RP? Hardcore- No use of ooc ever! Will even go so far as to role play injury and take forever to get back to town without help. Will not make use of the running feature unless there\'s a dire need to reach a certain place. Will have every bit of their characters history and story flushed out. Casual- Will rp when the mood strikes them. Probably will have a group of rp friends and non-rp friends to play with. Characters will have story, but might not be as flushed out as a hardcore rper. Freelance RP- My take on freelance rp was people who went by their own rules of rp. May or may not be entirely accurate within the lore and doesn't associate themselves with other guilds unless they have smiler ways of role-playing. For the hardcore, is there aproper time and place to NOT RP? I like to think that since it\'s your time and moeny that your putting into the game to have fun with you can rp your heart out without restrictions. I guess the only time you may want to lighten up on Hardcore rping is to help friends and new players learn how to play through ooc whisper. 4. How does oneâs environment and surroundings fit into RP? You can't have a good story without a setting, your environment is your setting and with it you can create all kinds of role play. Example: If it\'s sunny out, Klare will probably have a good attitude where as if it was raining or cold, she\'ll be pretty miserable if not snappy.

Some art work I found made by other artists. Really nicely done and all featuring my favorite race. :cat: Plus some more. Concept art with also a male Mithra. :3 and one Lalafell

Random video's are the best :3 Title: Charlie the magical unicorn ep1 ep2 ep3

Really nice! I love how you did the clothing. hmm I think the only thing that looks a little bit off though is the shape of her face. Don't know why but it looks a little unproportional to me, maybe it's her chin? Ah well I still like it.

Wow so many nice sigs @_@. Makes me wish I saved a few pictures of Klare back when I played ffXI. My current sig is the only recent one that I've done that involves the FF series. Very simply done with only a little bit of editing using windows pain and Myphotobucket editing tools.

::Grins:: Congratulations! ::looks at all the stares and lowers her ears and tail a little out of embarrassment:: heh yeah I know, none of you know me, but hey this looked like a happy event so I just wanted to pop in and give my congrats as well. ::Smiles sheepishly:: hmm reminds me of a few weddings in my travels too in Vana'diel, Best part was of course the food that was there. Never went to bed hungry on those nights.

Having religion within any game to me automatically makes the game a little more interesting (so long as it's not just black and white). With FFXIV having 12 gods I can't wait to see the lore behind all of them and how SE will incorporate them into the game. Will there be religious wars between countries/cites/races? Will each of the gods offer something that the other doesn't? What are the moral positions of each of the gods? are some good,evil or neutral? There's plenty of interesting rp idea's that can be used using gods but I guess we'll just have to wait till more lore comes out. A long time ago I played a game called "DarkAges" and out of all the mmo's I've played I think they had the most interactive and interesting religious system. I won't go into too much detail but the game consisted of 8 gods, all of which represented a certain aspect such as war, death, compassion etc etc. Anyway you as a player had the choice to choose one of the gods to worship and by doing so you gained their blessings. Of course it wasn't just as simple go into their temple and get a buff, you had to go through a role-playing system and attend mass (which was could last up to 30 min or more) or donate to the temple to gain faith and then through faith you gained certain abilities that the god you worshiped granted to you. Now I'm not expecting FFXIV to be as intricate as that but it be neat to see if SE will make religion within FFXIV more interactive then just saying I'm a follower of said god. Only con I see to this is if one gods become more popular then another just because of whatever buff or reason they give, people would just flock to that god to take advantage of the game mechanic instead of the rp. As for a general consensus within our rp group and other rp groups I agree with Laychield in the idea that everyone's going to have different idea's or make up their own story or gods (depending on the lore). All I know about that is if I run into someone's religion that is contradicting to the lore I won't be saying anything against it but will rp out Klare's thoughts depending on how believable it is. Anyway, as far as Klare goes with religion she won't be giving any type of worship to any of the gods since in her eyes they didn't do squat for her when she was growing up in the streets. Will be fun to rp her running into one though if it's part of the FFXIV storyline.
