Yes. I am rather infatuated with that DRG armor, how could you tell?

The Stormblood DRK quest was good all around. Also those Journal Entries.



I spent a good deal of Heavensward in this glam for every Job. Now it's just for SAM, MNK and DNC.

And then there's red mage, which looks cool at least.

So I started back in 2.1 or something on PS4 and long lost the account, here's one of the only pictures I have of her:

Then I went through ARR and heavensward as a Aura,

then half way through heavensward I had a bit of identity crisis and fantasia'd a lot, but my favourite was my hyur,

and just before stormblood and all through it, I have been a femroe and will continue to be going into shadowbringers.

Thanks, I like it too! I've been enjoying playing a more grizzled character lately. I wanted to age him up before ShB and I think it really fits for jobs like BLM, WAR, and SAM.

I have and will continue to happily let dipshits die who steal agro, don't use their agro dumps and run away with their loving mob. You want to die so badly enjoy it, me and the healer I queue with will let you die. And if I'm the healer I'll happily leave you to die as well, I have a tank to keep up through the fight and dots to drop, your dumb rear end just put yourself on the bottom of my priority list. You say we are spoiled for our instant queues I'd say learn to do the most basic things to make a run flow smoothly without causing everyone else trouble, there are a thousand more dps that would love your spot and if you act like a rear end in a top hat and do poo poo like sprint as a ninja ahead of the tank to start the fight we have NO obligation to keep you in the group. If you so desperately want to pull and get punched in the face, play tank. You'll live longer and healer is obligated to at least attempt to keep your rear end up. And maybe you'll make the queue better when I decide I feel like playing Summoner or Samurai myself.


As a side note, the only time I ever feel its a little justified for players to do this poo poo is Black Mages trying to offload their foul as quickly as possible and monks hoping to maintain GL. They at least have a decent reason for it even if its not always possible to maintain GL. MAYBE Bards though that'd require their being a bard in my runs that plays well enough to notice they have shiny buttons to press. Ninjas, Samurai, Summoners, Red Mages, ALL HEALERS, Dragoon, Machinist have no reason to and its always the Ninjas that do this idiocy, one would assume that they are ON ninja to facilitate being a idiot. Special mention to the several white mages I've had who rather then be intelligent have SWIFT CAST STONE into a group I'm running to agro so that I miss one AND they lose out on a good holy. Hell even if you WANT to be that idiot on white mage WHY SWIFTCAST STONE?! you have Aero which is instant cast already.

you play on Excalibur? tell me your character name so I can blacklist your salty rear end

I still have no glams other than my Malachite Dragoon look to share. I'm hoping the third set of Dragoon armor looks good because the second one was butts; Drachen set it still is. Did lead to the discovery that the tail built into the chest armor of set 2 overrides the natural Au Ra tail for some reason.

I can't wait until I get far enough along to have gear that looks like, well, not the stuff one gets from MSQ quests and from buying filler whites (and figuring out how the Glamour system actually works) because I want to show off my femroe too.

ARR was also rough on the glamour front since they didn't unlock until 50, most leveling screenshots were just of folks in their clown suits of varying dyes.

I don't have any shots of when I was progressing through the game, but I have re-started the game a number of times! So I've logged in to my old characters to take a look!




Ok, apparently I deleted my first character. Nothing special though, I got up to Satasha and immediately noped-out with crippling social anxiety when the game asked me to play a Massively Multiplayer Online game with other people. This might have been back in the 2.x days and I was a THM, so wouldn't have looked very interesting back then. I think I was playing a Highlady? Probably found it funny to be a buff wizard.

My second character is still around though!

Don't know when this was, but it was pre-Stormblood, got up to level 30 and then spent a while levelling Archer so I could unlock Warrior. And then dropped the game because I guess because I didn't understand the cross-class system? I don't know, I don't remember. Kind of funny that last time I quit playing because of having to do group content and on my second time round I played a tank, though I still didn't quite care for group stuff, mostly just tolerated it.

My third time I actually stuck with the game!

I seem to keep creating the same character looks-wise? No idea what got me to try the game a third time, but it was I think literally the week SB early access started. Tried a Monk and it stuck, fell in love with the game and even group content this time around.

Alternate MNK glam

BLM glam, really need to finish levelling BLM at some point.

The only 'in progress' shot I have, took this while levelling RDM. Got it to 70, but haven't gotten around to making a glam for it yet. Or really even gearing up, mostly just the lvl70 gear you get from your class quest.

For some reason I've decided to make an alt and replay the MSQ to kill time.

Broke my trend and made a cat girl instead, only just made 30 so the gear isn't very interesting, haven't bothered glamming yet.


EDIT: Man, I really need to learn how to gpose better. All you guy's shots look so much better.
