[Zubis]

Fun idea :)

Will this be told as a story on the website, or actually added as a quest to the game?

[Zhronne]

I'm sooooo gonna vote for Bottomless Gorge!

[Tanama]

I voted for Achtelle.

http://wiki.ffo.jp/img/14810/Achtelle2.jpg

She's originally from Adoulin, fights alongside a tamed greater wyvern. She would be an excellent candidate for some awesome lore.

[Vil]

Voted for Lehko. REALLY wanna see what happened to him ^^

[Edyth]

Vote Tenzen and Phoenix! That bird needs come to out of Tenzen's blade and meet the tips of our blades, then she needs to be placed at the fingertips of summoners!

Specifically, vote Tenzen so the votes aren't split, and in the details portion of the questionairre, specify that Phoenix leaves his blade and the Prime Avatar becomes available ;)

[Calysto]

voted lion for closure.
lilisette and prishe(abyssea) may need some too, but she waited longer.

[Godofgods]

Instead of a single npc vote, how about a specific group of npcs?

Cause id like to see all my favorite tarus in a taru revolution against the Dev's and programmers!

- All the tarus in whitegate who are not good enough to get a stool to stand on, so they can see over there counter.
- The Cherukiki siblings who were orphaned in war wrought land where there town was destroyed. And displayed in a manner that made ppl dislike them.
- The ghost of the child Panta-Putta who was separated from his parents and slain by monsters in an unknown land, and cursed to roam the land forever screaming and crying, trying to find his parents.
- The tarus who weren't good enough to even be a minority in Alduin.

And I'm sure theres more!

[Refyll]

I voted for Dr. Monberaux!

Mainly because I would like to see some more Wolfgang and Monberaux action! :3

....................Come on! Don't tell me I was the only one that thought there was something going on with those two and that they could be more than childhood buddies!?

[SMD111]

i had to say Cid he is just the most iconic character in the Final Fantasy line

[Eric]

Voted for Lehko. REALLY wanna see what happened to him ^^

I also voted for Lehko Habhoka! <3

Tell me he isn't adorable:

http://i4.minus.com/jVnpzxEFUu0N3.png

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

Talking Doll

(Slackers.)

[Lotto]

Semih Lafihna, because she's the only npc with a bow displayed on her back... and I always wanted that. D:

[Rekin]

Prishe! There aren't enough dropkicks in Vana'diel! Also I'd love to see her interact with newer heroines.

[Lugado]

I voted gessho from wotg in a kung fu(wander the earth) style of storyline. It would also to be cool to see what the imposter from cop is up to these days in aldoulin

[Karbuncle]

I voted for Carbuncle! He is an NPC by all rights, as He's in multiple cutscenes and Quests. I'd love to see him tied into Cait Sith, or even a new battlefield/event =0, I Miss my little blue Meteorite-er

[Spiriel]

Myself, dropping a vote on Volker. I can't really explain it, but I've always liked Volker and thought he was a cool guy. That is all.

[Chilloa]

Voted for her myself:

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080703231418/ffxi/images/thumb/0/00/Babban.PNG/200px-Babban.PNG

I would love to see her travel over to Adoulin and meet some new friends. New title for players to get buffs from monsters. As well as her, and maybe some of her new found Adoulin friends, helping out with Reives.

[Alhanelem]

This. This.

[Maledict]

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130128100947/finalfantasy/images/7/77/Zeid_%28FFXI%29.png

Because my master and I have unfinished business.

Is there a history behind the profession of Dark Knight? What about the adventurers Zeid has trained? What about his contemporaries: how do Duskraven and Fonove fit into it if at all? Will Zeid himself find redemption (no pun intended) in the shadows after Volker found his in the light?

[RyujinSephy]

I voted for Gilgamesh. I think he'd be great to see more of. He does trades all over the world. (Ok well not all of them may be legal...) But I want to know where his ship in Norg goes! Maybe we can join his crew and we can visit new areas in a series of add-ons. ^^

Just think he's a great option since he can take us almost anywhere to meet almost anyone and we can get several NPCs taken care of. >.>

[Myo]

Mihli Aliapoh! Gooo! Mithra are always supporting characters, they need more love from the people at SquareEnix. Also, people need a reason to even walk on Aht Urghan's soil again aside from SalvageII and Neo Nyzul. Mihli is also from the islands of Tsahya, which we know almost nothing about. Except that it's located near the Mithra homeland (Olzhirya), which we also know very little about... Just seems like an opportunity to add clearer details to the lore of Vana'diel.

[Zhronne]

I voted for Dr. Monberaux!

Mainly because I would like to see some more Wolfgang and Monberaux action! :3

....................Come on! Don't tell me I was the only one that thought there was something going on with those two and that they could be more than childhood buddies!?
You're definitely NOT the only one lol
But we all know that it won't happen.

SE doesn't want to take a clear position about the topic, but rather remain vague and put some hints here and there. You won't get any more than that in this game.

[Duelle]

Will Zeid himself find redemption (no pun intended) in the shadows after Volker found his in the light?Would be nice to see that explored. If only because it might make up for the "Ours is a lonely path. Here, mass kill stuff/this specific NM with this sword and come back to me" thing we went through the whole DRK AF questline.

I decided to vote for Naji. I have a tendency to pick background characters that come off as unimportant and/or are fodder. Not to mention a guy that spins his wheels the way he does about combat is just begging to be put in a situation where he learns action-packed lifestyles are not all they're cracked up to be.

[Xantavia]

Dahaaba

The poor lady is constantly getting kidnapped by the beastman, yet was always quickly rescued. Then a few years ago, the adventurers suddenly stopped caring and she doesn't know why.

[Yugl]

Valaineral R Davilles

[Mayoyama]

O come on.. you all know Shantotto is one of the coolest NPCs in the whole game! Ohohoho! Just think of all the kinds of trouble she could get herself into on a new continent... lol!

[PeaceWalker]

Lame Deer ftw!

[Volkai]

No question here, gotta be Fickblix, the friendly Goblin that lived in Jeuno... until he didn't.

[Teraniku]

I voted for my Future Fabulous sidekick... or was I hers?
Just so we could check up on her and see how she is doing.

[Teraniku]

O come on.. you all know Shantotto is one of the coolest NPCs in the whole game! Ohohoho! Just think of all the kinds of trouble she could get herself into on a new continent... lol!

Shantotto: Just keep thinking that way Mayoyama, be prepared for my Panorama!
As a new rise to power begins, as I bring my wrath to Adoulin! Ohohohoho!

[Numquam]

The Shadow Lord. I want to know what happens to him!

[Seha]

I voted Mihli. She had a very interesting backstory, both as a ninja assassin and as a student buddy with Aphmau at the Temple, and she is one of my favourite npc, so I'd love to see more about her!

[Chilloa]

O come on.. you all know Shantotto is one of the coolest NPCs in the whole game! Ohohoho! Just think of all the kinds of trouble she could get herself into on a new continent... lol!


I was gonna vote for Shantotto, but I feel she's received enough attention... for now. Appearances in ToAU, WotG, and even Dissidia. Not to mention she even received her own add-on. I'd like a chance for another NPC to take center stage once again.

[Leonardus]

My vote goes to Achtelle.

Really, there's a lot of NPCs in this game I like, but Achtelle... Come on. We've got to find out what's really up with her (And by extension, our wyverns). Adoulin just seems like that perfect avenue for a ToaU Serpent General-Style quest.

[Snprphnx]

Voted Prishe, in a quest to give us lvl 99 CoP rings

[Vil]

Prishe and Shantotto imo have recieved quite a bit of exposure already.

[Limecat]

"Shiny Teeth was Cid's first mentor, though not in any discipline so wholesome as engineering..."

[Absinthe]

Vote Tenzen and Phoenix! That bird needs come to out of Tenzen's blade and meet the tips of our blades, then she needs to be placed at the fingertips of summoners!

Specifically, vote Tenzen so the votes aren't split, and in the details portion of the questionairre, specify that Phoenix leaves his blade and the Prime Avatar becomes available ;)


I loved this idea, but had to vote for Cait Sith... 'bout time we got that avatar already.

[Inafking]

I don't think there will be concensus here. I think what we'll find is plenty of people who would like to see storyline related to their favorite job's patron character. (Shantotto, Zeid, Rainemard, etc) They seem to be fishing for quests to add. I'm hoping while they're at it they can make the rewards for these quests weapons that players will find both fun and useful. There is some reading ahead if this idea intrests you, but hidden with HB for the sake of the thread.

[Zarabi]

I voted for Curilla. I want to see her and Trion be a cute couple. :3 Even if they would sneak away just for a little while.

[Archades]

Bahamut

i refuse to give up using him as only a AF avatar, screw atmos i want the wyrmking!

Besides considering his personality that's all he'd do to help anyways

[Godofgods]

My submission is for the one true npc that you could not live without! He is the one that has been with you since your very first day of adventuring. He gave you helpful advise, and takes care of all your possessions!

He is cute..
He is fluffy..
He has a pom-pom on his head..

He is The Moogle!!!!!

[Skeith]

I voted for Naja Salaheem... I wouldn't mind going up against her in battle to absolve my debt to her... and maybe get her name off of my crown.

[Vil]

LOL. I still have quite a few bones to pick with her ><

[Thegreatmonkey]

http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091118051151/ffxi/images/a/a7/KarahaBaruha.jpg

I voted for Karaha-Baruha, would like to know if he was able to return to his body. I think they could do a lot of quest with this, building up the story of this NPC and any ones that is linked to him.

[Eracle]

I voted for Zalsuhm, the on-the-run Blue Mage, accused of theft by the empire with mystic knowledge on ancient weapons.

I think it would be pretty nifty to find out exactly what he was accused of and exactly what he knows...

[Granagel]

Esha N'tarl qust because i want more CoP and Rotz background, especially things about the Zilart and since Esha is one of the few still alive from that era she got my vote

[Aryalandi]

I voted for Nareema
http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080115172305/ffxi/images/8/80/Nareema.JPG
I always feel so bad for her, she seems so broken, especially after you level blu to the point of getting your artifact gear that i have always felt she should have her own quest line where you kind of see her backstory and set her mind at ease x.x i swear.. does anyone else just wanna give her a hug and tell her everything will be alright?

[Fenrirs_Takumi]

I voted For Prishe.

Battle for BlueBlade Fell

Ideas: - underground Assaults
- Top Campaign battles

[Mysticales]

I voted for Ajido-marujido. I always did love that taru. I mean we get to play with him in the past as a child, then in present. Wouldnt mind taking the present Ajido to visit his younger self in [s]. That or take him to Adoulin for some sorta quests.

Tho reading some posts here. Karaha-Baruha along with his kids would be awesome as a quest...
Tho tbh, I wouldnt mind seeing Zonpa-Zippa come out of hiding and return to life in Windurst some.

[Bearstar]

I voted for Gumbah. He is the Tales Keeper after all but he's only seen in Bastok Missions and Quests. What about the Galkas in the other nations? What do they think of him? Do they even know about him? Is there the posibility of more than one Tales Keeper leading diasporate groups?
