F'lhaminn

[Yrusama]

Ya I wasn't going by the wikis, but wanted to illustrate for that guy how even the wiki contradicts itself lol

To be perfectly honest, both the Final Fantasy wiki and Eorzeapedia have very limited coverage of XIV due to the failure of the initial launch and the imminence of 2.0. A lot of editors lost interest when the game failed, and those who regained interest after 2.0's announcement decided to avoid using 1.0 as a source of information as it could easily be changed. Before I got to it, only Limsa Lominsa had anything close to a complete page on the FF wiki, so I decided to take pictures to bring all the other city-states and regions up to that standard, only to realize that even the Limsa page had gaps in the info.

For those wishing to help contribute, when it comes to the MMOs the FF wiki is primarily there for lore and general gameplay information, including ability lists and boss strategies, and reserves specifics like quest guides and individual gear stats for a dedicated wiki (much like ffxiclopedia.org for FFXI).

I've made a quick edit on the FF wiki regarding the discrepancy. Let's hope when 2.0 comes up we can fill the page out more accurately.

Without a doubt F'lhaminn character model is a Keeper...

So imho, this really opens the door to her history. I don't want to assume SE just "made a mistake" on one of the main characters, sooo what's with her name then? Was she orphaned? If she was who named her, who adopted her?
Is she a mixed breed of the two clans? Maybe we'll get answers in 2.0 ^_^

Or maybe they'll just remake her character with Seeker of the Sun features. ._.

Hello guys!

The same topic was brought up in the JP forums, so the loremasters decided to make an official response.
Here is a rough translation of what it says:

------

As is indicated by the name, F'lhaminn is a member of the F (bear) Seeker of the Sun tribe. However, as many of you have pointed out, she has many physical features which are attributed to Keepers of the Moon (such as iris shape, skin color, etc). As many of you have also noticed, there have been other characters which have displayed the features of one clan, while following the naming conventions of another. This can be attributed to two factors.

One: It could merely be a genetic anomaly. Just because certain races have a tendency to display certain features (pointed ears, long legs, darker or lighter skin, soul-piercing eyes), doesn't mean that once every thousand or ten thousand births, something deviates from the rules.

Two: It could be that a parent or grandparent was of a different clan, and the features of that clan were passed down. We know for certain that F'lhaminn was raised as a Seeker of the Sun, but we would have to look further down her family tree for clues why she has the appearance of a Keeper of the Moon.

Finally, some good news for our role-players who want a little more spice in their character's history--in character creation for ARR, we'll be allowing the mixing and matching of certain features between clans, so it will be possible to create a Keeper of the Moon-like Seeker of the Sun (or vice versa).

Sweet cheezus this is the best news ever! O.O I can have slit eyes and fangs on my male miqo now! /happy dance

Thanks for the clarification!

This! Very much this!

I shall henceforth be known as Keith Dragoon of the Keepers of the Mid-afternoon Sky!(name pending approval) Clan!

Hmm this worries me just a bit. If either clan can have all the options, then what's the point of having different clans?

I can make a Sun kitteh with fangs, different colored tail tip, and dilated eyes? Why even have clans then?

Hey Lucke,

Sorry for the confusion, here. Please refer to the newly added bold-y-ness of my quote:

...we'll be allowing the mixing and matching of certain features between clans...

Clans will still be distinct enough to call them clans.

Phew, thanks Ferne, I shall continue to sing your praises as Thy O Great and Powerful Lord of the Lore!

And thus our CG Miqo'te's physical features are comprehensively retconed! ^_^
