Jana

I'm at the anime convention. I'm at the porn convention. I'm at the combination anime and porn convention.

Uhhh I guess I'll leave Jana as a reserve for C.

I haven't really taken pictures because I'm playing with the camera off. I get a lot of Drowzees where I live though.

SE has said in the past (back around 2.0's release, iirc) they they're actively avoiding action-game mechanics beyond manual AoE dodges, so a manual block/parry is probably not in the picture.

My point of view comes from using ACN attacks in RP, which includes the dark-aspected poisoning attacks. While fire/ice/lightning may have the same effect on a person whether it was started naturally or by a spell, there are so many kinds of non-magical poison that I can't see ACN's attacks acting as one (or three) specifically when we don't know much about their effects beyond "makes HP go down" (and Miasma's extra affects via the Malady status, which aren't very specific to a single poison either). I've also always treated "magic resistance" as something that would come to an experianced magic user, not an incapable one. A skilled THM has a better chance of being able to use their own aether to prevent damage. We kind of see this in-game by seeing that caster armor has a higher Magic Defense stat than even tank armor.

I can't comment on everything, but I can correct one point: Doma rebelled against the empire because the current emperor had just died, making them think they had a chance with a surprise attack while the Empire was dealing with a succession crisis. It failed and Doma was razed for their trouble. Edit: I guess I can also add the Chocobos are only native to Eorzea. It's not impossible that some could have been imported into the empire before trade relations were dissolved, but I doubt something like a rare steed would be used as a beast of burden by a travelling merchant.

0 bust is weird on miqo'te girls cuz even if some outfits look flat, there's still a bounce on some animations so it just ends up being really jarring. I'd imagine the same is true of the other non-lala races. I don't envy those who try using a female model for a feminine guy.

Jana's character model captures her height and such well, but I often have to type out details like her baggy eyes and tones muscles because SE won't let me make an invite or muscular miqo'te. In those cases I usually throw out the descriptions as they become relevant, like if she just made eye contact or if she's threatening someone.

I always find it helpful to use inexact phrasing as others have mentioned (enough for a meal at the CUL guild, enough for a chocobo porter to a distant camp, etc.) but when Jana hands anyone a large amount of Gil, I've made use of the promissory banknote as well. I've also characterized her as someone who lives frugally but actually has a lot of money she's willing to drop on unexpected problems, so instances in which she pisses a lot of Gil away for a specific IC purpose are usually done with a banknote.

If brand-new players don't fill all slots, I'd like to join on Khena~

thanks boss

...I thought I had the spot but i ended up in a reserve slot anyway, huh. Are you doing sign-ups off of this site too, An?

I'd like to sign Jana up for C if that's cool.

The Elezen aging difference isn't as pronounced as it is in other high fantasy settings like LotR; an Elezen might be a teenager until 21 and live until 100-ish as opposed to the 80-ish of other races. This is also common knowledge among the other races so a young-adultish Elezen being in their 30s won't be much of a shocker.

I missed the last round of events due to being out of town when sign ups were happening. Would it be reasonable to assume any characters at Camp Nowhere would be in the know? Uzuki and Jana are supposed to be collaborating on tracking info on the Tear, and the former could just get the latter up to speed via linkpearl.

I was gonna say something about how these are easy enough to not require a premade, but I think I may have misunderstood the purpose of the thread. Anyway I play MNK so I can punch things to death if you want. Edit: Nevermind, if this is patch day in the middle of the week, that's gonna be way too early to be home from work.

It's the weekend of my birthday so I'm not 100% certain I can make it yet but please sign up 1 stupid cat (that's me).

Jana's fighting style is almost entirely based on instinct and quick reflexes, having mostly learned how to fight hand-to-hand as a refugee. She has a very bare minimum of formal training in the PGL guild, enough to know a bit about forms and how to maximize a hit. And while she has some interest in the MNK style and has tried to learn about meditating and chakras and such, she isn't going to Dragon Kick anytime soon.

Update bump: PSO2's showing off the cosmetics coming with the crossover event, scheduled for July. Including the Miqo'te /dance actions is a nice touch.

Sorry team, haven't had much reception. Good luck with part 2!

Any pre-requesites for Jana to be able to join D? If she isn't able to meet them, I'll go to A as her instead.

Virella briefly mentioned it but White Mage is specifically the role of the Padjals who tend to the forest around Gridania (until the Warrior of Light barges in). Padjals are the Hyur/Elezen children selected by the forest's Elementals to receive the power of Succor, then they grow horns and stop aging. The devs have said there are less savory ways to gain Succor, but we don't know what that entails yet. Dark Knight is specifically the role of Ishgardian vigilantes, those who fight corrupt officials of the Church. Their "Dark" powers aren't the same as casting class's magic as it runs off of emotions. I haven't played their story to completion but as I understand it, using those emotions carries a risk of you being consumed by them, basically losing yourself to the darkness. As you can see, neither Job is related to the other, nor to Keepers. There's no reason your character couldn't be a person who knows how to use a greatsword and a Conjury cane if you can explain how they trained in both a martial ability and a magical one. (Conjury is said to be easy to pick up, though.)

My biggest nitpick is that even if the primal summoned is benevolent and fed some crystals daily, any primal summoning puts too great a strain on the land to be tolerated by the city-states/Grand Companies. Establishing trade with Gridania while supporting an aetheric drain isn't something that could feasibly happen. Putting that aside, you shouldn't feel like you need to ICly have the same classes/jobs leveled that you're playing OOCly (most people don't play a capital-J Job either). I had to level every job to 50 and complete their Relic quests to get the title I wanted for my character, but she certainly isn't most of those jobs or their prerequisite classes, nor is she walking around with 9+ legendary weapons.

OK thanks!

I just realised there's a good chance I'll be out of town on the Friday of the big event. It's not set in stone that I won't be able to attend but if it seems like it's gonna be an issue, would you prefer I drop?
