Undefined Term: Soulkin (Contextless Usage)

[Fernehalwes]

Good evening, Anonymoose!

Next to voidkin, soulkin probably rates as one of the most difficult taxonomical terms to decipher. For the most part, the regnum (kingdom) and class names used in Eorzea are fairly straightforward:

Bloodborn
Seedkin: cactuars, funguars, roselings, etc.
Vilekin: chigoes, midges, yarzons, etc.
Wavekin: megalocrabs, orobons, slugs, etc.
Cloudkin: dodos, chocobos, vultures, etc.
Beastkin: Wolves, moles, rats, etc.
Scalekin: basilisks, raptors, drakes, etc.
Spoken: Ixal, kobolds, sylphs, the 5 races of Eorzea, etc.

Bloodless
Ashkin: skeletons, wights, ghosts, etc.
Soulkin: spriggans, coblyns, doblyns
Forgekin: juggernauts, mammets

Transcendents
Voidsent: ahriman, ogres, imps, etc.

Soulkin are called such by Eorzean scholars because it is believed that while these creatures once had a will of their own, they now find their souls bound to another object or being, and are essentially being controlled by the invasive secondary force.

Sorry about the brevity, but I hope that clears things up a bit!

Now, back to work I go!

Seriously nice info, but.

Why isnt this kind of thing posted for all to see in a neat tidy format on the loadstone?

ALL this kind of thing should be posted as a tutorial please.

I guess Im just confused. IF you guys have this information in house, that you can look up yourself to make this post, then why isnt it posted for the people who play the game?

Surely it cant be because you guys want us to find out this information and dissolve it ourself in game, because you just told us the info. So there is definitely a lack of this information in game, and would definably improve the game if this was provided on the loadstone for future reference.

Please and thankyou.

<3 Fernehalwes too

I always wondering what the heck are these skill for. Some are easy; some I couldn't even tell what's that mean.
maybe you guys should consider add these to the skill description

That was a badass explanation, plus now we have a concrete list of which monsters fall into which category, for all those curious/unaware.
