What sadist at SE thought of this?

(Even though by definition it doesn't, but America lops off an arm instead of a finger to kill an infection.)

If you think the United States (not "America," unless you mean Mexico and Canada too) is bad, then you've obviously never been to the UK.

Am I the only one who thought the OP was upset because the dead taru child's name somewhat resembled the word "Punt", since that's what we do to taru children in Vana'Diel?

Oops.

I did think of that a couple of times, but what gets me everytime is how "Putta" is said like "Puta", which in portuguese is taken as "bitch"... it feels wrong to me everytime I see the little taru run around. When I got to this thread and read the "sadistic" I somehow thought it'd have something to do with this.
Just some random information I thought I'd share.

Nope, I do hear they're a lot more strict when it comes to Virtual/Internet stuff lately.

That and there are CCTV cameras every 10 feet in every major town and city. The UK is generally referred to by anyone outside of it as "the Nanny state."

You need an ID to buy a butter knife from what I've read.

Who cares, honestly? I think S-E figured the audience was mature enough to accept that children die in real life, so chances are, some will have unfortunate ends in a fantasy world, also. They aren't having you run around attacking kids or anything. It's all just story and good ones will have an impact on you. A lot of the Tavnazia stories were sad or grim, with loved ones and whole families dying, and the CoP content was some of the best storyline-wise in all of FFXI. If you want something a little more palatable for you, may I suggest Lego Universe or Toontown?

Yes, they do die in real life unfortionitly. However, iv yet to be walkign down the street and see the ghost of one of them kids runing around scared to death screaming for his parent for all eternity. Thats a bit sadistic.

I've yet to see any ghost running around scared to death screaming for whatever it died looking for. XD Someone's got a soft spot for Tarus.

To people who didn't think or know he was dead. Did you not wonder why he is transparent? That's normally just like a huge giveaway in...everything.

In defense of the Gundam Wing dub they did air the uncensored version at 12am EST the same day (same day for me cuz i was on west coast so it was at 9pm).

*We now return to your regularly scheduled thread*

He used Prism Powder.... permanently.

I've you delve a bit deeper, you'll find traumatized and dead children in more storylines in FFXI.

Aldo and Emeline survived, but with severe mental scarring.
Shemmie (Tavnazian Safehold) and Enu (Abyssea - Altepa) died, likely in a violent fashion given the circumstances.

The dead don't always realise they are dead. And when they do, they usually end up mad as a hatter... (like

Alsha

).
