I can't wait until they make a Roken NPC :p
Might be a Legacy thing more than it is a forum regular thing. Which is really cool. Makes me more jealous about missing Legacy than anything else it offers lol
Do any highlanders give yarn balls to cats? :3
I'm now terribly scared :3
what if I end up the new brygrid.... :3 -shudders-
I'll be a sad kitty if Nahaara doesn't get a mention :c
Considering the only bit of conversation like this anyone found all weekend was this single reference, I'd be very surprised if there were more than a handful of similar things in the game as a whole.
Strictly speaking, the only character names that should get used are ones that already follow the naming guidelines too, in order that they fit into the dialogue of the world.
Actually i'll be honest here, if they did this i'd actually prefer if they did name drops for all legacy characters or none at all, instead of a select few and make people feel left out. It honestly doesn't feel fair to me to do it any other way.
Well firstly, naming conventions. I don't think you could excuse a "Mjollnir Axegrinder" in-game. Heck, since those posts on the Lore forums, I decided to change my name to something that was 'canon'.
Secondly, there have to be thousands of Legacy characters; there'd be no space to name-check everyone.
Third, 95% of those Legacy characters have minimal or no input into the community via the Lodestone forums.
I don't know why you'd feel left out. Catapult's one of us, so if you spotted the name-check, it's an Easter Egg to all of us here on the forums that recognised it.
If there is a reference regarding Coeurl Mounts to Rogue Muse I would literally scream
Remember the auction house in Limsa that was locked up and the guard said that if you listened carefully you could hear screaming? I'd like if that room remained locked, only now the guard would warn you away based on the ungodly stench coming from it. Mention something about me leaving almost 100 stacks of various fish on my retainer for half a year.
Poor Placentia. I hope she's alright.
I think the main thing to remember here is that Catapult has been regularly preserving lore, understanding the story, reporting localization bugs, and generally just being involved since the game came out. I've been hanging around the Loc/Lore forums since both went up and, like me, he's always been there.
Ferne's been peppering little references to issues esoteric to the Loc/Lore community all over the place for a long time. Spend a few years having fun and helping them polish their product and reaching out to their community and see what happens. That'll probably get someone a lot farther than making judgments about who "deserves" what treatment.
Unless...

Incidentally, if my Cameo turns out to be a placeholder to either avoid spoilers or fill in for the as-yet unimplemented Hero of the Maelstrom then I will fully understand. This is beta, after all, and the text is not finalised.
Oh I can think of a good few other posters who I'd rather were doing their time on Hyllfyr's ship in this manner... :)
Also, are Hyur a high-level form of bait for the new Fisher class? I heard that it could be done from boats, and this is *exactly* what I was imagining.
Guys, I'm not 100% sure, but I think they just took name ideas and/or people of the community the liked and used them in game.
Some like Catapult and most likely Reinhart, will get a big mention...others:
Dude I swear I ran by a NPC lala named Kikimi in my travels (which was one of the lala names I was knocking around in the naming convention posts a couple months back)...should have taken a picture, I didn't realize she could have been part of a 'thing' at the time. I just thought, huh, they used my name idea :).
Also, keep in mind, Ferny and his crew monitor and read this forum a lot...while creating in-game lore, names etc. It is reasonable that a name or 2 stick out and get 'recycled'
So I think a couple players are being specifically targeted for honor (I'm not one of these). Moose, Catapult, Reinhart....but others, might have had a name or idea that just got 'stuck on the brain' and was unintentionally added. (Kikimi).
Congrats Thal. I'll admit that i'm quite jelly over this.
why only browse the loadstone and not the beta forums tho? I don't post hardly at all on the loadstone where i got about 1000 posts on beta.
Nobody cares about Kagato Jurai.
