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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I would like to see job specific quests with 3 different rewards. (Kind of like Divine Might) I've come up with a list of suguestions that I hope gets people excited enough to get implemented.
