The Next Set of "Relic Weapons" in Heavensward

[Jonnycbad]

Since other Locations and Artifacts/Artefacts from FFT were from previous FF games, I assumed it was a poorly localized version of "Veil of Minwu/Minyu". Since FF2, whenever he is mentioned, his name is always differentially localized as Minwu/Ming-wu/Mindu/Minhi/Minyu/Minu, so I figured Wiyu was another poor translation.

I guess, however, that since "Books" as weapons have only existed in like 2 or maybe 3 FF games ever, they were running out of ideas for legendary book names, so pulled from FFT.

The Germonique Scriptures as the Summoner Mythic weapon, you heard it here first, folks!

Guys please this is just a game, dont try to find a logic reason of why we are killing mobs...

We are really going over the edge with this.

If you accept the world for the way it is, accept the way things "have to be," you'll never be able to change it.

Well it's not that hard; we kill mobs because we're told we'll get something for it, and it's just a game so there's only positive consequences to our actions.

No matter what we do, we are still good people.

Right?

Riiiiight?

Well this is an MMO so it would be hard to make a decision based story out of it. I mean even in SWTOR the worst repercussion you can get for butchering innocents is a few dark side points that you can counterbalance the next time you talk to your servant droid.

And there is also the difference between western and eastern RPGs. I mean we call the JRPG-s, but you aren't strictly speaking playing a role. You are experiencing. You will always be Cecil, Cloud or Bartz and can't deviate from their intended story arcs. In Kotor you could become a villain if you wanted to. Then again, you couldn't join the big bad. The final boss is always the same. There are limits to video game freedom.

Well as Midgardsormr puts it, we are little more than errand boys for everyone. They just tell us our penis is soooo big, and btw, could you be a dear and kill that big scary monster. We don't care about the whys, just that compliment that will come with it.


Minfilla/Jazalan/anyone "...sooo big!"

Us "Hurrrr, you think so! Ok! I'll go do that thing!"

Ah, but see, you're getting close to the question I'm really trying to ask.

What sort of person thinks it's OK to commit atrocities for a glowing stick because it's just a game, so who cares? I mean, it doesn't really matter or say anything about you as a person... right?

See, that kind of blind sheep mentality is exactly what you need to stop following. Kind of part of the reason for the Dragonsong War, or so Ysayle says. Still, I'm glad you're able to grasp the fundamentals.

Yeah it really is wrong. And Iceheart and Y'shtola both point out that we are kinda the bad guys. But like I said you can't do anything about it. YOu can moralise as a player and you can write and in character blog where you debate the issue, but you will need to mow down mobs for xp.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORrrr, can we have more stabby stab and less blah blah blah?
