A message of support to the Square Enix Personnel and the player community in Japan.

Dear all:

I know I don't misrepresent the feelings of others when I say that the entire world feels Japanese these days. And we, Final Fantasy XI and XIV players have a somewhat closer bind than many do. In my case, Final Fantasy, has only been one of many of the cultural manifestations of your nation that have entranced me for years. And I know well that, in that respect, in these forums, and within these games' communities, I am far from a singular case.

The world owes so much to the genius, the hard-work ethics, the inventiveness and the high-mindedness of the Japanese; the influence of the culture is so vast, that sometimes it becomes easy to overlook. Film, Food, Engineering, Design, Technology, Fashion, Science, Architecture, Literature, the Arts in general... The global landscape in any of these disciplines--and many more--would not be the same without the contribution of Japan.

But all of that sounds abstract in comparison to the affection that the quiet and deep intensity of the Japanese has collected from our hearts as friends, companions, spouses, classmates, colleagues, mentors, even fellow Linkshell members.

So it's not only out of altruistic concern for our distant fellow men and women, but because we feel so much of all of you in all of us (and this time, again, I feel no fear to misrepresent the feelings of the group) that I want to send this message of sincere emotional solidarity, from all of us, to all of you.

I--perhaps I should say "we"--hope the feelings it carries will be at least a speck of comfort in what must be very stressful and trying days. Our gaze is fixed to our television screens, we mourn the recent past and your losses with you, as well as hope the best of what is to come.

Here's looking forward to the day (may it be soon) that we'll be playing together again, happy and carefree.

Very affectionately,

Rutelor

"Please do not feed the troll"

I eat trolls. They yummy with chocolate XD

Japan opened me up to the goth lolita fashion. And the goth lolita animes.
And i love their music.

Rutelor, that was beautiful. You said it much better than I ever could. :3

No .....

I'm a woman and I like cute things. >.>;;
Watch the portraite of little cossette. Or le portaite de cossette as wriiten on the box. If i was in japan I go to the closest lolita story with goth lolita fashion. :) I like the look used. And would look good on my 5ft tall ness :)

Rutelor, my thoughts exactly.

Very well said friend. I feel the same way. I love the Japanese culture so much, and I feel many take it for granted.

Uhhhh huh... Well i like Lalafel girls (Specifically ones named Terumi Sakurai) >.> is that bad? in any case ^^ I too hope nothing else bad happens in Japan. Or else I will have to go super Saiya-jin and put the hurting on the elements...

You could have very easily directed this to the number of threads already established for the Eartquake/Tsunami.

People need to realize that this isn't their Facebook wall and hop off their soap box.

This belongs in the Japanese section, hopefully it can be translated its one of the few good messages, very inspirational and could be of help to our brothers and sisters of Japan.

Nice job!

the point was that people need to stop opening up new threads when we have a ton already obviously on the front page near the top of it at that

its actualy one of the forum rules too if you wanna go look them up

That was absolutely beautiful Rutelor. I 100% completely agree.
