Having more or less hit a brick wall in progression—I just can't get over the E7S hump—I've decided to go on a nostalgia trip by rolling an alt and experiencing ARR's story again. This led to some minor annoyance, as the name I'd picked for my alt can't be used due to the ol' Scunthorpe problem. You'd think having the "offending" word separated across your forename and surname would alleviate that, but c'est la vie. On the bright side, since everyone refers to you by your forename, "Scarlet" is a bit more natural in text/speech than "Galbana".

It's been pretty fun, though I'm only just nearing the Ifrit encounter. Also, it's hard to look at Yda without being reminded of the plot twist concerning her identity.
