Guardian's and Character Redesign

[Anonymoose]

Why does it need to be so black and white? Just cause whatever deity is connected to your birth date, doesn't mean you can't associate with others

Birthday? Wat? My issue is that, knowing nothing about the lore aside from what the Character Creator told me in September 2010, I picked the one that was linked to Thaumaturge and called it a day. Since then, jobs have been released and the lore has changed. It no longer fits. I'd at least be able to reconcile the inconsistency if I had anything to do with Ul'dah, but I don't. There's no birthday involved, just in-game storyline consistency.

I'm grateful for the chance to align with the deity I've fallen in line with, I'm just going to feel like a goofball with the wrong ring representing the completion of the 1.X storyline. It's not like I can't learn to deal; it's just... why not?

Why not just throw a targetable "???" on a statue that, when you emote at it wearing the ring, checks for an inconsistency between the ring and your guardian and, PRAISE THE TWELVE, makes things right? Even one that's only there for a limited time? Too much effort for not much benefit to the company? I understand.

I'll say it again: I get it... it just kinda sucks

...you did pray to ALL of them.

Youuuuu try that "equal footing of the gods" blasphemy on an Ishgardian and see if you don't end up setting the realm record for most spear holes in one ass. The Twelve are in the same belief system, but they aren't exactly allies. Often, some of them are at flat out war with others; the Moogles left their realm because of it. They're like the city-states themselves; they only stop going at it amongst each other when something threatens the collective.
