Reflections on friendships

[Gerik]

I love you Vayle!

I think I met you first when we were doing Ifrit, but we never really talked until we started spamming Hamlet I think, and then we talked about buffalo jokes all the time. I really liked Skyping with all of you, that was totally fun. I don't have a screenshot of us cause I'm lazy to take screenshots, but here's a lazy picture I drew in paint of us.



That's the toad we always aggro in Aurum Vayle cause it's jealous of our non-heterosexual love, and we're wearing heels cause we're fabulous.

Kudos on your attention to detail.

Neku Sanura,
Not sure what to say, besides.. Once loved, always loved.

She opened my eyes, my mind, my heart. That, I will never forget, as she changed my life and taught me that there are some challenges that I cannot take on alone. That I should allow my friends and family, even my significant others to help me.

Before we were together, I never understood what it meant to be in love.

This was a great and meaningful thread to start! It is nice to see us reflect on the people we played with which were what helped us get through the game's good, bad, WIP, and other aspects. I was fortunate to have some IRL friends to play with to start but through a random act of generosity in the slaying of a NM my toes were dipped in the social pool beyond my circle of OOG friends.

It started by Humblehearth when I was mining and I met a Miqo'te camping the deer. Rychis Ceruli was her (pronouns used based on gender of character not necessarily player) name. She asked if I needed one of the drops that she didn't. We killed it until she had to go, never got the drop but I noticed her THM was lacking jewelry and being a GSM with mats (and especially metals) on hand was able to provide some. After Ry, another world was opened up to me. Maeveena Songsteel was a great inspiration on what can be done in a short amount of time. She was professional, fun, and I enjoyed learning from her. Then there were the Omaras, Natsuki and Korjero. They are wonderful people and a great couple that were always welcoming. Dibs Dadbis is an awesome guy who is dedicated, humorous, and knows how to take and give a joke - an excellent LS leader. Riddle Lin, Priscilla Clark, the very awesome Haxaan Shivar, and, well, there are just so many to name.

It is proof that everything we do from simple emote, quest turn-in, trinket given to someone in need, or random /tell of hello is meaningful and has an impact. To all my friends I got to know, play with, and in whose company I enjoyed (primarily in Neversleeps Endlessnights and Karma Knights III but not exclusively) THANK YOU!

This thread is both touching and hilarious!

The OP really captures the spirit of this Final Fantasy title, I can't wait to read/see more.

I don't have much but..

Iron Chef Dei Gratia - Thanks for being part of my journey; glad you're here.

War Warlocks Gridania
Ragento Guarra, Keithy Taru, Shanis Taru, Venefica Fulgora, Aequitas Safeguard, Dei Gratia

- I'm really glad you guys are part of the team. I hope to fight alongside you all lots and lots more; so we can continue to overcome all the challenges, achieve our aspirations, and have a hell of a lot of fun in the process!

Gabrielle Lyten - Who knows what I was doing or what I needed, but you were there to help. You were very kind in assisting me, and also in agreeing to be the very first member of my then empty LS. No idea where you've been, or what you're up to, but as far as I'm aware you're always welcome and have a spot in the W.W..

Shout outs:
Neasa Vera - For being totally cool and nice; and for helping out my brother and me so much for no real benefit to herself. She even gave me all of her stockpiled ammo when we were pinned down in The Quicksand during the apocalypse. What a pal.

Rounin Maou (Roro) - "Shouldn't there be an army of skeletons popping right about.. OH GOD!" Totally couldn't stop laughing. We've run into each other quite a bit in various pick-ups; and in the end you lent the War Warlocks your lance in our battle at Rivenroad. Thanks very much!

Keith Valentine - You were there to heed the call to defeat Rivenroad (Hard) various times with us W.W. Waiting for hours on end to get the party formed, putting forth the effort and up with the stress associated with the intense fight. Seems like a cool guy. Don't really know him all that well, but I'll remember him for quite some time for being there with us for the Final Battle during the Final Days..

Syn Kazama - Good attitude, very polite, very helpful. This individual gets huge props for congregating some fantastic people in the FFXiVSocial LS. Vast majority of those LS members I've encountered through various trials are skilled and kind, a pretty good reflection on the head honcho I think. I'm grateful that Dei has befriended you and as gained as much as he has from your team. Cheers!

Hlessali Runari (METEOR QUEEN) - Hands down, best BLM I've encountered or had the honor of team up with. "It's not even my main, haha." ... WHAT!? Meteor Queen, a cool cat, and a legend that I will sing praise of for the rest of my spoony Bard days. Accompanied the War Warlocks on many an attempt at Rivenroad (Hard), sporting an 100% meteor prevention record. It truly got to the point where: If Meteor Queen Hlessali Runari was not present, there was no hope or morale to defeat Rivenroad (Hard). We're not worthy!

And of course...:
To all the fantastic people that I've assisted, or that have a assited me and said:
"You're one of the best WHMs I've ever played with." - "Damn, Arista is good."


Yeah, I know. ='¬'=

Most elleqently put good sir!

I will now copy you

The the Entirety of FFXIVSocial LS
You all rule! Seriously, you have made the last few months most enjoyable and memorable. I can't wait to explore ARR with all of you and tackle all the new content. We are still a young LS but I could not ask for better members. You never let Teamspeak get boring and you push me to be better, or sleep deprived, or something like that.

The LS Garuda crew!
Hard work, perseverance, lots of Elixirs, Food, Repairs and resets we pulled off some great wins. Dei Gratia, Metyn Aurea, Xyla Ndra, Kazuhira Jaeger, Ryuuji Ryuu, Nonori Rereyl, Taeli Aeithsura, Oni Sesshomaru, and the fill-ins we had, Markus Aurelius and Hlessali Runari (AKA The Meteor Queen) we could not have done it without any of you! All I gots to say is "WHERE MAH BAAAARD BUFFS MON!?"

To others:
Arista Hortensia, Aequitas Safeguard and War Warlocks Gridania
Had some great attempts at Raven Hard, may not have gotten that sexy earring but we all had fun being pummeled by VD repeatedly. You guys are solid and never relent, that is key to success! Everything we get involved in goes well and I hope to see you guys on the other side of the time warp.

Tony Dincht - Got my first Garuda win thanks to you and your group. Was a great time and Like Arista, a WHM can never hear "You're one of the best WHMs I've ever played with." too many times ^^

I even had some fun times with those CASUALS from Evil and Almost Evil. Though I hear they felt I was too hardcore with my MNKs 100-broken-fist style agains Miser.

These were my most recent memories and for those who know me, know recent memory is pretty much all I have...
For those cats from back in the day I'm glad I still see your names running around Uldah.

beautiful thread =]

I made this video a little while back, much for the same reason... to remember and appreciate all the friendships made in 1.0. ^^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCr8Mq_1UF4

[Rhomagus]

Awesome OP...

I'm not mentioned...

I'm okay with this...

You and Kres went wild over my beard in the Ul'dah market wards. That's pretty much the reason I joined the shell and still keep it to this day. I haven't been on very consistently so that would explain it, but ya, I still like reading all of the personal accounts of the people interacting with other people so that I can live vicariously through them.
