Hey Lore forum! I was torn between posting this either here or in General, but I figure since you guys and gals pay a bit more attention to the world of Eorzea, I thought I'd ask the question from the title:

What are the NPCs that YOU remember/recognize most in the game? I specifically excluded main scenario and sidequest NPCs to shine the spotlight on those that currently are just in the game for flavor. Whether you can talk to them or not, I'd like to find out which ones caught/catch your attention. Also, it can be for ANY reason, silly, serious, or otherwise.

Personally, I have to say I enjoy the guard NPCs in the different areas. Not only do they help low level players that have bitten off more than they can chew, but I find the ones outside of the starting cities enjoyable to watch at times as they tick off the local lvl 1 population.
