I hate to say it but Im one for keeping other final fantasies out of XIV. I just cant see how they could justify it in the storyline of this game. Its not like we have rifts to other dimensions going on, really how can the lore justify this? I love Cloud, Aeris, and Sephiroth all the same but I dont want them in XIV as it makes NO sense. Seeing as this is a launch event, Im certain this is a publicity stunt to get XIII fans playing.

Hm. I wonder if you can change the color of the hairstyle. If so... I might have found Lin's new style.

But only if I can get it in Lin's old hair colors.

Next logical step. I still fondly remember the "Catgirl makes fire out of the air, but jumping takes away from the realism!" arguments.

That's camping, and I may have to no-rate you if it continues.

That being said, Ehllfire, complaining about Karma is the number one way to get rated down.

Sometimes it's incredibly awesome being someone of my disposition. All I can do is chuckle at people who get worked up over ratings. I've had people karma camp me on and off for years. It doesn't bother me.

I liken it onto a bug bite or a rash. Sure, it can be itchy, but it's only going to get worse if you scratch it. Best to leave it be until it goes away.

Edit: Yes, I see you there. I'm laughing at you so hard right now.

Sure I like the set and all, and she is an awesome character, but why do feel the need to bring a character from another FF game, especially FF13 which is... well I'll just leave my opinion in the abyss.
reminds me about old worn out stars in reality where they get some screen time in some random show in order to say; Hey! I'm still cool...!

Anyhow, just my opinion. Cheers everyone! :D

Ok, those outfits will get old fast. I'll get one, but really, gals do NOT want to wear what other gals are wearing, especially not dozens of them!

Im hardly making a stretch in my distaste of it. To me it cheapens what XIV would be. As for Arjun, thats the storyline. But how do you justify throwing heroes from different games that have historically never been linked into XIV? It just stinks of a cheap cash grab to me. Lolgaxe, Im cool with that stuff I dont think Im too out of line in my opinion.

I just don't see why its a big deal if SE decides that their lore for FFXIV includes portals to other worlds for short times where other characters show up. Mainly cause all the high fantasy stuff that already happens. Its believable to have time travel and imprisoned dragons arriving via a summoned metor and wreaking havoc but some dude opening temporary portals from other worlds isn't?

Most MMO's have seasonal events right of varying themes. Santa Claus outfits were in 1.0. MMO's have headless horsemen running around for Halloween. Allow Christmas Trees and stuff. Is it really that bad for a FF MMO to look to FF history as themes for events? I'm sure part of the reasoning is to attract people based on their love for past FF games, but what's bad about it? How does it hurt? If the opportunity to get Lightning's outfit or Yuna's robe or Cloud's sword etc. allows just ah andful of players to check out this game and maybe sub, is that bad?

Now, if they start heavily incorporating these FF characters into the main story and have them become heroes in FFXIV lore and such, I may have to step back and think about it more. But for now, I honestly don't see the big deal.

I think it's premature to jump the gun on figuring out how the lore works in this.

I'm not sure if you were part of 1.0, or played FFXI previously, but Atomos made an appearance in 1.xx's closing days. The concept of reality and lore staying isolated after an event of that caliber happening is kinda out the window, as it was for FFXI.

Lighthing also lost herself from the normal dimensions of her world. Like Gilgamesh, like Cloud of Darkness, Like Exdeath, she can be canonized anywhere as a wanderer of the Void. She can show up anywhere in any game so long as it falls in her personal canon somewhere between when she was pulled from the final cutscene of FFXIII, and when she shows up on the shores of Valhalla in FFXIII-2. (Judging from her outfit, that's the likely time span she's in during her stay in Eorzea.) She can even show up after that time in the personal timeline if Lightning Returns has her entering the void again.

So actually, out of all main protagonists, Lighthing has the most justification for showing up in Eorzea. I feel as if it will be harder for them to justify other primary characters but her.

Anyways, I'm in a wait-and-see approach as far as the lore. But there is defiantly groundwork for it happening well within pre-established bounds.

As much as I think this whole thing is absolutely stupid and I hate it with every ounce of my unbridled ragesauce, that Snow outfit actually looks pretty badass. Maybe It's because I dress similarly to that IRL?

I'M SO CONFLICTED!!!!111!!!!11!!1@7

Oh, and is this stuff going to be limited time events or will it be around forever? I hate bothering with costumes and stuff like that if everyone will always have access to it. It's pretty pointless to wear the same thing that everyone else is wearing when it's purely cosmetic.

Expect Clouds, Tifas, Aeris', Sephiroth's, Squalls etc. outfits now Im calling it first!. Also wouldnt be surprised to see a Red XIII pet since they already have done cait sith.

Ok, that bit of hyperbole I can shoot down instantly.

Also, in regards to future collaborations with other FF series, we will be adhering to the below principles:

> We will not use characters that are already dead or whose role has ended in their title

For example, "Red XIII" who appeared in FFVII.
I believe we mentioned "Red XIV" as a joke before, but Red XIII has a very rare and specific role in the world of FFVII. If he was wandering around the world of Eorzea it would destroy the image of the world of FFVII, so this can’t happen.
This is just a simple example of what we mean.


Cait Sith is a common 'doll' that has been used in multiple games past FFVII. FFXI had Cait Sith. Cait Sith was a summon in FFVI before (as "Stray"). So it's expected that a doll or minion of them would be easily possible.

That said, Minions are kinda fair game for everything, so I may be wrong. But I feel as if they'd pass up on it for the same reasons they woulden't include a sephiroth or squall minion. It'd simply have no place.
