Have You Ever Wondered Why... FFXI Style!
Have you ever wondered why... FFXI Style!
Have you ever wondered why the Quasiluminums inside Sea aggro Grahs when escorting them and the ones outside never aggro UFOs or Sharks, despite being near, beneath or right on top of them on several occasions?

Why can SAM use the relic bow and get access to the most powerful Archery WS, but can't even use Flaming Arrow without /RNG?
Why bother using Ecphoria ring to remove Amnesia when there's a delay after using an item until you can use a JA or WS?
Why don't the gods summoned by Kirin have normal drops?
Why don't mobs in the WotG areas drop Ancient Currency or Relic Armor? It's the same time period as Dynamis!
Why are NPCs so controlling they don't let you name your Wyvern or Automaton on your own, and only give you a short list to pick from?
This is more of a stab at JP players than the game itself, but why do they all act like NA and EU players are jackasses if they don't use the auto-translator, yet they refuse to use it?
Why do dragons, one of history's most feared and powerful mythical creatures, all look anorexic?

Because God is SAM, Ecphoria is so players don't *** so often about amnesia (but we do anyway, its not erasable ftl), because SE loves to *** with us, because then dyna runs would drop 50% because everyone would be upgrading relics with beastmen burn pts in the past, I haven't named a pet, so idc, because Japanese are completely against integrating with NA by any means necessary (I live in Japan as an american, I'm not biased, I know how it is), and because Japanese and Chinese dragons were not depicted as the western dragons were.

Yet the Wyrms in game are based around Western mythology. They're named after Wyrms in Western mythology, their appearance is based around Wyrms in Western mythology, their drops are even named after treasures, trinkets or weapons in Western mythology... Uh... I don't think that answers the question, sorry ;;
eg. Fafnir, Nidhogg, Jormungand are all Norse. Tiamat and Ouryu are Babylonian, and are the only non-Western mythology named Wyrms. Still look the same with a unique paint job, though. No idea what Vrtra is from though. Fafnir drops Ridill and Aegisja... etc, and Andvaranauts (spelling sux's on those), all from the same Norse mythology as Fafnir and Nidhogg.
Have you ever wondered why rare items aren't so rare?
Ya, but we're talking about japanese programers who probably didn't give two sh*ts

A better question would be "Why does something being rare mean you can only carry one?"
Just because an Empress Hairpin is rare, doesn't mean only one would fit in my pocket!

They wanted to make it that its "so rare there is only one in existance" but obivously doesnt apply when everyone and their brother has them.
Wooooodum: All the "dragons" that you named are actually considered Wyrms, not Dragons, which is why they have a different appearance. I was referring to the actual monster class Dragon, including mobs such as Shadow Dragon, Ash Dragon, Apocalyptic Beast, etc etc. As for Kyaaadaa, Eastern doesn't really apply because A) none of the dragons are bearded, which was very common in eastern mythology, and B) they also usually were not completely scaled, sometimes having long hair or manes. Also, almost all Chinese dragons could fly, but only Wyrms can fly in FFXI. But the body type is similar, so kudos for thinking outside the box.

Vrtra is an Asura, enemy of the gods, in Indian (Hindu) mythos.
Have you ever wondered why Wooooodum changes his avatar like once every 3 days? :P lol.
Have you ever wondered what happens to the hair when races with ponytails and what not put on helmets that cover their head? Where is the helmet hair SE, where!?!?

I think that about Mithra and hats too. Elvaan and Tarutaru's ears are still visible, where do the Mithra's ears go?
they put 'em back like when they hiss and claw stuff.
why don't tarus get the effect of drown when in water over their heads?

i like the fact that as a taru i can be fully underwater and be ok i always think
"how is the lil dude breathing?" lol
Ever wonder why Blus must reset spells every time we change jobs.
Is it that hard to add an automatic memory of the last spells I had set? (if so, not that serious, but would speed up when I am needed in a timely manner.)

That brings up an interesting question... Exactly how old are our characters supposed to be? I have a feeling we're all around 20ish and were born during the baby boom during the war; Similar to WW2.
in the 863rd year of the crystal era... according to the opening CS the war raged.
20 years later "883" you arrive in town.
/clock...
5/11/1067 CE...
i've been adventuring for 184 years!
delivery boxes fromt he past, how do they get stuff thru, and wouldn't my food be really really really rotten?

Ever wonder why we can't /check the equipment of beastmen? I wana know what in the HELL are they wearing to be 100% accurate all the time when we are equal in level. Even though I have evasion + 25 on my gear....
Have you ever wondered why Scorpions are dark brown, but SH is red?
Have you ever wondered how Skeleton BLMs can ALL afford to buy/Quest Sleepga II, when they're too cheap to drop a single gil?

Because Mithra look sexier in red.

Have you ever wondered why SE made Dhalmels and Elvaan so similar?
Have you ever wondered why exactly that BST Taru NPC can charm like 5 mobs all at once, two of which are uncharmable to even the best BSTs?

Same reason some npc's can chainspell AMII, they cheat.
Have you ever wondered why Blazza follows me around everywhere?
Have you ever wondered why DRG doesn't get Lancet?
Have you ever wondered if they could have made PUP an even MORE hilarious job? (AF is a clown costume, you go around punching stuff in a clown costume with a little robot friend)
