The lamia

[Rashammel]

My theory is
Bio-engenering isn't "create from nothing", i think most of the "allagan chimera" was clones from already existing creatures genetic modified to be docile, so they get some Lamias from limsa used them as base to make guards for the Dalamund.
Same thing whit the Ixials.

We're really dismissing Koji-Fox and Oda-san for Walt Disney?

I'm not dismissing anyone, just observing, considering, and reasoning for myself. (This often gets me casted as the "bad guy" in debates like this, but I don't mind...)

I mean, it's possible the Drowned Wenches and Drowned Courtesans are Allagan bioweapons who survived the Dalamud impact and took up residence in Sastasha... but I personally consider it highly unlikely. For all I know they were jes' trollin'.

Sastasha HM is full of shout-outs to Pirates anyway. In the English version, at least.

We now have a better phrasing for that:"For all I know, they were just spreading deliberate misinformation".

An interview conducted entirely in English can't be canon due to the poor localization choices made previously by the team.

I hope the lamiae, reptoids, or even Allagan nodes in Azys Lla have Beast-Tribe quests added in a later 3.X version update. It would be quite interesting to see.

The idea of being tempered so hard that your body is twisted into something else (perhaps something nearby or related to the element in question) hasn't really come up anywhere else, has it?

It's SORT OF come up, albiet by counterexample. Loon Gah's mother in the Ash Tribe questline was also overtempered - but the result was not the twisting of her body, but burning out her mind...

Although, to be fair, this might be a different matter. Loon Gah's mother was, if I recall correctly, subject to repeated temperings, not a single massive supertempering.

It didnt, those pirates were the only ones who were overtempered to the point they mutated. Its simple actualy, if Loon Gah wasnt mutated then she wasnt overtempered

Why are you even saing she was tempered multiple times?

[Kaiser-Ace]

Why are you even saing she was tempered multiple times?

Because.... It actually says that outright in the Amal'jaa Quest line?

It blatantly says "Subjected to repeated tempering" in the quest dialog.

probably not on the cs, well yea so maybe is the how many times but the potency of a single try
