By far the best MMO offering out right now. Can't wait for Ninja and Gold Saucer. Funny to think how much of a dump the first iteration of the game was, vs now.I should start playing more often now. Looks like a lot of good changes.
There is the odd Final Fantasy / Manga name but most seem to have thought up something decent yeah. Only seen 1 Drizzit and no Legolas or Seprioth.
I don't know about that. That kind of dialogue was in the game back in 1.0.
Well the translators might add a bunch of GoT references for fun, since every quest name is a pun and shit I guess they're fine with it. Could just be part of the lore, seven being a fairly common "mystic" number and multiple hells being a common occurence in various religions, especially eastern ones, the japanese old folklore/religion had 16 hells further subdivided into smaller ones which were meant to punish specific sins. So could be coincidence or a reference, hard to say.
I hardly did either... well since EQ but FFXIV can actually be interesting and entertaining depending on the quest and NPC personalities.
I always do the first time I play through a game, if the quests are like trying to be interesting. FFXIV had a lot of jokes, double-entendre, puns, sexual inuendos and shit like that, the writing is surprisingly good. Main story was pretty cool too, besides level 30ish stuff that was awful as fuck. I didn't bother reading shit in Archeage(partly because the cutscenes were in korean so the only interesting stuff, the main story, wasn't translated) or in Wildstar(not that they bothered with quest text anyway).
If you ever pick it up again there's a questline starring a guy named Hildebrand (or close to it). Questline is great and the only one I've read so far.
Ha. The Longhaft side quest had me conflicted on whether to be horrified with how brazen the double-entendres were, or impressed they managed to get that through potential censoring.
