Haha, I'll keep an eye out.

If it wasn't such a pain in my ass to remake my GH420 on my Acrotecher, I'd reroll her if only to rename her. See, I know nothing about Japanese. I am not a massive Japanophile.

Despite that I managed to make a name that is the Japanese word for ..get this.. 'name'. -_-; People are always asking me and it drives me up the fucking wall. *I* thought I'd make it up. It was the name of a character I played in a pbp RP on a forum a year or so ago. So I just used it.

Repeatedly explaining this:

"No, I don't know Japanese. No, I am not an otaku. No, I really don't want to learn Japanese for anime, if I learned it at all it would be because I'm into historical Japan, not anime all that much."

...gets real old fast.

The only character I intentionally gave a Japanese name to was my Beast, and again, it was on purpose, because it was yet another RP name. And said rp was set in an oriental-like world, so I just flipped through a Japanese dictionary we had at a bookstore and said 'Sounds feminine enough. Nar.' RP flopped, boyfriend said he'd preferred to write it as a series of novels anyway, he just thought he'd see what others would do in the world. It's something he's been working on the map and history for for probably 7 years, so yeah, it was too much for an RP in the first place. And once we start on the books, the Japanese name will go. I just haven't come up with a suitable replacement name yet. Because I do so hate people mistaking me for one of those idiots that pick up Japanese phrases from anime and abuse them.

Re: A community worse then FFXI/WoW

That seemed to go in a continual loop...

Perfect example of a logical fallacy, like so many other examples in modern life...

"Because it is" is not a explanation for ANYTHING.

Re: A community worse then FFXI/WoW

Except Rappy Suits. And in Vanilla PSU, Extra kinda blowed.

At least AotI Extra probably has Grass Assassins and Boomas from Sakura Blast/whatever that other mission is called.

<3 Grass Assassin. Now if only they'd give me the damn GA blades back.

Yeah it does, but I believe you have to clear a few chapters of the ep2 story first.

Re: A community worse then FFXI/WoW

In my opinion, what a forum needs to keep profanity, is good moderators. Compare these forums with those from KillingIfrit, it's a huge difference, both are filled with FFXI Community members though.

Either way, I think we all know the web is filled with this kind of stuff.. And I think the best is to leave this for what it is, and enjoy our own moderated community at ffxionline.com, a nice forum for every mature and decent FFXI player.

This made me lol.

Re: A community worse then FFXI/WoW

Wow o_o; Next time I see people on these forums only commenting just to be negative (not pointing out anyone, I've just recently notice rudeness that wasn't needed) I'll remind myself there's always someone out there who's worse.
