Not gonna lie, I would totally hang one up on the wall if SE ever sold them, then go overboard and get a Gurren Lagann and Principality of Zeon flags, followed by an intervention.
I would hang a banner from my front window.
But it would be a middle finger, 'cause it would be pointed at the next door neighbor's house and the confederate flag he has hanging from his window.
Seriously. I know you folks who aren't from the northern US probably won't fully understand this (look up the American Civil War on Wikipedia). But to me, proudly displaying the Confederate flag when you live in Michigan...you might as well just hang a banner from your window that says, "A racist jackass lives in this house."
He probably thinks he's a badass, though. I'd like to see what happens to him if he waved that flag around in southwest Detroit.



I have a funny confederate flag story for you;I would hang a banner from my front window.

I live in Idaho, right on the WA border in a town called Lewiston, nice place and usually everyone is pretty friendly, strangers will help you out in a bind etc.
Last summer, a group of high schoolers thought it'd be awesome to drive around the streets with a bunch of them in the back of their pickup, one holding a very large confederate flag. They'd been circling the town (I'd seen them pass my house like 3 times that day) so I felt like they were just doing it to be seen, the kids in the back looked all smug as they waved their pretty little flag, they were all sat on the sides of the pickup so they couldn't be missed.
They started making their 4th pass past my house when a dog ran into the road suddenly from over the other side of the street, the driver slammed on the brakes and the flag holder went arse-over-tit and fell out of the truck, landing pretty hard on the concrete below. Sadly the kid wasn't too hurt e_e haha, he could get up just fine though he looked a little scraped and dazed. Usually when something like that happens here, people swarm you, will pick you up, make sure you're alright but no one wanted to help the little flagdouche, they drove past him, some honking madly, others laughing at his dose of karma.
Moral of the story; tuck away your confederate flag, it doesn't look cool. Karma is a beeeeeech.
Never did see them driving around town with their flag after that. . .
Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always at the same time as an end and never simply as a means





My Aunt lived in Lewiston, love that nearby Potlach thing.. :P (I'm from Pocatello myself, now an Alwaysovercastandrainygon (Oregon))I have a funny confederate flag story for you;

I think the shirt would be awesome - I don't really have a thing for flags though (not that I'd be against it as an option if it can sell, why not right?)

Oh god, potlatch /barf ;~;.
I didn't think a town could 'actually' stink, boy was I wrong! Other than potlatch and ECO this place ain't so bad, just a bit smelly if the wind doesn't blow just right haha.

You can buy yourself a portable ARR Legacy Weather Vane, just hold in the sky and find the proper direction to walk
Or your very own Nael Van Darnus mask! With its own air to aether distiller (because Nael breathes pure aether :P)
But isn't the NA Square Enix store still closed?
Talking about flags though, how about the other cities flags?

Lol @ confederate flag
I've been through certain parts of the south that I'd rather not visit again because of the hostility (I'm Latino). This one person's house I went to...we were all gathered for an end of the year party (my coworkers and I all Latino and worked in the same office at my old uni). The white girl's dad made no effort to hide using terms like "poor 3rd world country's citizens" and "beaners" and "wetback" to my Mexican coworker's face. ...that and he had a gun proudly displayed in his living room. It was propped up by taxidermied deer feet.
Sometimes in the South...you have to remind them.. "hey guess what, THE SOUTH LOST". -_-
Sorry for topic derail >_>
Meow

I would put one in my garage and maybe when I build my deck in my backyard.


I stopped reading your post rather fast but I must say I'm in favor of anything legacy players will get that make non legacy players (losers) cryI feel proud to be apart of this community, for better or worse I guess.
Well for a while now I've been wanting to display that pride outside my home and a few months ago I had this great idea, to have a flag or banner representing FFXIV/ARR/Legacy displayed outside my yard for everyone passing by to know I belong to this wonderful community!
Sadly I'm no artist so I can't provide visual aid, so hopefully my idea is getting through, but I think this would be a kick-ass project that the talented section of the community could get into!
For example; deviantART has a plethora of people doing commissions (whether it be art, sculptures, or stuffed animals, often for compensation and of their own free will and schedules). I think it'd be an awesome thing to have our community conduct this kind of activity; and of course I'd be happy to monetarily compensate for such an item (like a banner)!
What do you think? Is it a good idea, maybe?
