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. ='¬'=
