Jana

1) Jana's shy but nosy, and will approach if she overhears something of interest to her as an adventurer, like info on leves and the like. 2) She would also approach someone she overhears making threats, because she is nosy and likes to fight. She may or may not mention her Immortal Flames affiliation in Ul'dah. 3) Jana also approaches people who seem to be lost. In Ul'dah she might mention being in the IF in a less threatening way, but even out of the city, she is proud of her knowledge as an adventurer and will try to both help and show off. 4) Jana may have overheated information regarding groups of people she likes to see die, like Pirates or Garleans. 5) Jana thinks you're in a group of people she likes to see die, like Pirates or Garleans.

I'd pay for a vanity mount if it was something I liked (I played Mabinogi years ago, so I KNOW what it's like to pay for any mount at all). But none of these so far have grabbed my attention enough for me to grab my wallet.

For some reason, I was worried the pink would hurt my eyes but it's a nice, soft pink. I usually recommend using Lodestone to look at items but anything buyable from the market board can be previewed by just ctrl+rightclicking the name. Stuff that isn't directly buyable can still be previewed if someone you know has it by them linking the item, or by them wearing it for you to ctrl+rightclick (though if they have a glamour over it, it'll preview that glamour instead; it'll preview dyes too).

I think I'm too late off work tonight to sign Jana up for Succor Born Every Minute, but I'll sign Khena up for the re-scheduled Doctor Bloom~

Hey friends, I'm trying to get on for the event but I'm getting stuck on the launcher, "Unable to complete version check." I'll keep trying to get on but might not be able to.

I just found out I will have to work Saturday thanks to the holiday, so I'd like to move Khena from Saturday's event to Friday's if it isn't too late.

I'd like to sign Khena up for Doctor Bloom!

You could probably change it to "suffering a moderate or severe consequence" as those are the ones that are closer to actually killing someone. Stress boxes are basically "scratch damage" and even a stress box 4 filled in just means that character can take more scratch damage before being seriously hurt with a consequence.

Not enough leg movement on the female Miqo'te ;w; *returns to hiding from 3.1 spoilers*

I'd like to sign up for Monday's event as Khena!

I think it's possible to express such things in general ways, but I also think we shouldn't overdo it. Tomatoes exist in Eorzea and are named "tomatoes," but the word comes from the Aztec "xitomatl" and as far as we know, the Ixal aren't the ones that introduced tomatoes to the rest of Eorzea (or Hot Chocolate to Ishgard, or Nopales which are from the New Continent). Unfortunately, the Macuahuitl remains a mystery. Obviously I wouldn't describe something as "Chinese" IC, but we can also appreciate SE giving us little "outs" for this kind of thing. A Gatling Gun could be justified by the fact that "Gatling" was the name of an alchemical smith in Eorzea, for example.

While this sounds interesting, it's impossible for me to know if I'll be able to make a date so far in advance. I'll keep an eye on things.

Enemies popping up from under the ground/under furniture/on walls/the ceiling is as varied and terrifying as I'd hoped.

Casting your character as the WoL inherently leaves anyone else involved in a secondary role at best. I think this kind of thing is best kept as a fanfiction for you to write alone.

People have tossed around the idea of using gloves/clothes/tattoos to cast arcanima before, but the folds in cloth and leather clothing is something that would usually mess up the geometries used in casting. And while we don't have many in-game examples of what these geometries actually look like, they're probably too complex to "mix and match" using hand signs on gloves. It's not the best example but the Sphere Scroll from the relic quests made through arcanima is pretty complex. (thanks google)

I don't remember which live letter/event/interview it was, but I feel pretty certain that the theory revolving around the aqueduct in Azys La was already disproven. I'll try to remember where I read it though.

I don't think I've ever cried during RP. Even during a sad scene, I usually just feel emotionally drained but never weepy or anything.

Jana will go on the Sylphlands adventure!

I'm super pumped for the new MNK weapon! It looks pretty close to what the character whose fighting style Jana's is meant to resemble wears.

Chachan is probably known for playing his main, young adventurer character, but he also plays Chachanji's older brother Gogonji, who's basically a cranky curmudgeon. I've played with Virara and Shoshopu too, who are both mature and never come across as child-like. I'll basically echo what others have already said: I can take a lalafell seriously if they are played seriously (though IC, Jana might need some time to warm up to the idea).

I'd imagine that the common street dancers might be willing to have sex for money, and maybe there are pimps/madames with their turfs in Ul'dah and other cities, but at the same time, I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that being a dancer/gladiator/bar girl or anything similar meant you were also a prostitute.

This is the only Final Fantasy game I've ever played (and I didn't play in 1.0), so someone telling me to cast an unfamiliar name may as well be telling me cast Baspinga for all I can understand.

Not only to double on Warren's suggestion, but any big, regular event is going to have lots of people you can meet and then keep meeting weekly (or more!). If fighting tournaments aren't your thing there are always others; HoD has a weekly tavern, for example.

Mai Waifu played my character's love interest in another game, but we didn't make an OOC relationship jump until we had been playing this game (separately from each other) for at least a year. Relationships you make with RPers in a game can be the real deal. But you should take some time out of character to examine how you really feel, and about whom. I know that if someone fell in love with my characters as a proxy for falling for me, I'd have to ask them to give me space; my characters are usually nothing like how I really am as a person.

I guess this is sort of how I've been playing Jana's SMN soul crystal. In her own words, it's not that she can suddenly use everything an Allagan Summoner of old could, but when she reads up on a ritual/spell, it's like there are hands to guide hers when she tries it out herself.
