Well. I was doing besieged today, the trolls, and I was tabbing around H-8 when I targeted a name. ...No person or anything, just a green name, Mikan.  I tried to click it but it did nothing, the name didn't even go away. I would have taken a screenshot, but as usual my screenshot space was filled.  I just found this to be pretty interesting. I was wondering if anyone else has seen Mikan the Invisible NPC. ^^ Rinaminori Red Mage 75/ Black Mage 75

but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence
transform a yellow spot into the sun.

I swear I saw a couple green Leviathon's in besieged...
Now that I think about it, I should have screenshotted it. I'll do that next time I see it, if ever... | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 06-29-2006, 07:46 PM | #5 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Pittsburgh, PA Posts: 86 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 1,775 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 1,775 Donate | Re: Mikan the Invisible NPC? I've seen a green Titan message above the bastions just north of where the Qiqirn appraiser is in Al Zhabi.

You know, something just came to me. Maybe those green names are something like "placeholders"? Normally you can't summon or use pets in towns, right? So maybe, they had to program them in some way.
It's tough to explain... For instance, moogles. Apparently all areas have moogles, but you can only access them outside MHs when there are glitches, unless they're nomad moogles. Like the moogles people see in Jeuno randomly. Maybe the names we're seeing are something like placeholders for the actual mobs...? I don't know, my thoughts are rather garbled...  guh :D | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | All times are GMT -8.
