    I did not want to start a fight over it but i dislike when people use terminology from other game.
    Deal with it. MP I will call mana, and so will hundreds of other people. If I wan't to use "Toon" I will.

    The problem with that is non of the terms you mentioned started with FFXIV or WoW for online gaming, Or actually with Warcraft or the FF series for any genre of game.

    Oh and while not a direct XIV reference :
    Extract Mana and Mana Wall

    My Point is all the terms have a relevant use, I dislike char myself, my preference is avatar or I use toon when being more casual i guess.
    (and for the toon = wow look into you mmo history please, its been around a lot longer then wow)
    People use reference's based on the background they have, saying things like shouldn't or cant use that, without the term actually being offensive is childish as long as the meaning is clear enough, whether you like or dislike the phrase itself.

    @ Lavani
    chill, that isn't a good way to put a point across, however wrong or a**** the other persons comment.
    It just makes there comment look more valid then yours.

    And this is why i said FFXIV and to use the terminology set for FFXIV. Toon have become main stream in WoW and any wow type game. FFXIV is more base of ffxi so it best to use that then toon and top of that it just make it sound cheap and ugly. But about the mana ya i know other ff use the word but in ffxiv it's not call that so use the right terminology for that.

    But w/e i not going to fight over this anymore i just ask a request no need to get offended.

    And I will punch a moogle every time you do.

    I've just always hated the term, even in cartoons. It's part of why I can't fully enjoy Roger Rabbit. And Richard Williams is one of my favorite animators of all time.

    I find it lazy. Tactless; as some sort of callous afterthought made to lightly abbreviate an aside; to undermine a whole medium. Like the word cartoon isn't worth your tongue. Like you're somehow so great to hold yourself all of a hundred years of labor and experimentation to something that has rooted itself into the very act of modern entertainment.

    And I just feel it sounds a little immature.

    You have to be condescending like me, or else they wont read it and troll you for treating them like the kids they are. =/ What a waste of post.
