I think you're on your own :p

After seen King Behemoth in that video, there's no way I'm throwing my life away just for the best bacon in the world.

I'll probably start from level 1 again. I'll look like Miqo'te bacon to the Behemoth. Or maybe a truffle.

I could always do with a decoy... I have the perfect roll for a baby Miqo'te, this is what you should do http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIgXdLdmiU

I miss buffalo jerky and the carbonaras and the pizzas and sushis I used to make in XI :(

Is it Kosher? I'm a Jew.

As most bacon contains high amounts of fat cells and animal gelatin, probably not. Actually, considering Behemoth or "בהמות" is a "chaos beast", it probably wouldn't be wise to eat one under Kosher law anyway.

Do behemoths chew cud? Do they have cloven hooves?

is your FFXIV char jew or are you a jeew Pwn : < im confused is there a jewish faith among elvaan in FFXIV?

I think he means himself in real life. But I guess his character is also sharing the dietary aspect of his faith as well, which role-players often do, so I guess he means both. :)

Also, I'm not too sure exactly which of the Twelve the elezen are stated as worshiping in particular, if any (they don't seem to be as pious as the elvaan in FFXI are, who are fanatical, almost zealous, in their worship of the goddess Altana. But I digress.).

On an unrelated culinary topic, I always thought this was kind of interesting. There is (was) a quest in Gridania where a prophet of Azeyma, the Warden asks you to call certain individuals to repentance. The reward is 12 pieces of flatbread--which is appropriate, because the Latin for 'unleavened' is 'azyma' (taken directly from the Greek αζυμα). ;)

Oh... my... Twelve...
You have just unleashed a veritable storm of speculation on the nature of Azeyma in my lore-addled brain.

I've been curious about role-playing in game but never tried it but this was an interesting aspect I never thought of. Would a role player then come up with a suitable explanation for this dietary limitation without referring to the real life motivation?

I presume they would - although the backstory I'm developing for my character doesn't feature something like that, it does share certain aspects of myself in real life, so I think others who like to role-play their characters would indeed work out an in-game reasoning behind it, to make it consistent and believable.

Also, interesting idea about Azeyma Fatestorm - Azeyma is my character's guardian, in keeping with her being a member of the Seeker of the Sun miqo'te clan (even though in the backstory I'm working out for her, Enki isn't really devout - she's more pragmatic when it comes to the Twelve, owing to her origins as an Ala Mihgan refugee), so that quest in 1.0 was very intriguing. I never picked up on the flatbread reference though (despite the fact that when I used that item in battle, it always mentioned in the chatlog that 'it tasted divine' ;)) - the depth of the lore hidden in the game is constantly astounding me. :D

Thanks for that info!
