I thought this was a waste not to share on the forums.
Fresh off Potion-sama's drawing board and onto twitter:
A story that unfolded in T13, in the face of Bahamut's Akh Morn.
Legend has it that when you truly wish to protect the ones you love...

Sidenote: That scholar was resurrecting a Warrior in the 3rd page.
Reactions from JP players:
1. That Warrior got screwed. It's quite cool to draw it out like that but it would be way cooler if it was a Holmgang edition.
2. I got depressed after imagining that Warrior Holmganging too early or switching too late.
3. This is what happens when a Paladin fails to Cover.
4. Seeing Akh Morn up close and personal was so cool.
5. Man, ARR Paladin was fun. That moment when one endures Akh Morn is the best feeling in the entire FF14. But now...
6. When Bahamut starts Akh Morn-ing 5 times consecutively, that Holmgang/Hallowed Ground victims' brain juice will start leaking out.
7. The music, together with the 3rd Akh Morn landing on the Warrior and me, man that was the best.
8. Though this is just the first wing of Alexander, I prefer Coil's atmosphere. T1 to T13, all were fantastic. I remember having goosebumps watching Bahamut cast Teraflare.
9. I don't think you'll be able to draw something like this with Alexander.
10. Akh Morn landing on me made me realize just how cool my character was.
11. I hope Extreme Knights of the Round or any future Extreme Primals will have such an intense atmosphere.
12. Instead of illustrating that invincible ka-ching, isn't it cooler if you're left with 1 HP, stained in blood and saying 'Is that all?'
13. I agree, back then it was great fun.
14. Instead of saying 'NO', heal the tank!
15. This awesome sensation can only be felt as a tank.

Eating that 4th Akh Morn solo while my HP bar didn't budge always made me feel @#!&ing indestructible.

Then they wiped to enrage because the Paladin couldn't do enough DPS. /currentMetajoke.
Where's the warrior using Progang >:o I've also solo-soaked by blowing every single CD with a good healer covering me lol. -

"No! Paladin!!!!"
That was just adorable. Really good work :D
EDIT: In hindsight, I realize this really does put in perspective that sense of facing insurmountable odds Coil had that Alexander (currently) lacks. We'll see what the future holds. -

10-30-2015, 06:19 PMwicked-oneI actually enjoyed One-Piece and Dragonball as Books, probably, because on Books i can set my own pace, and it never occured quite lengthy to meQuote:

On a totally related tought that just came to me, now it makes sense why everybody can play and watch anime next to it... -
10-30-2015, 06:43 PMAtoliExactly my thoughts reading this..xDQuote:

Is there a full-length story by this author somewhere? I only now realized how much I crave a FFXIV manga..
My favorite comment was:
A long time ago, when I was still healer in a static, I had that kind of moment at least once xD Knowing "OMG the tank is dying!" and shouting "NO! Don't die!" And of course someone on vent/ts would answer "Less talking, more healing!" or something similar <3Quote:
