In-game weapons would be killer (no pun intended). I'm sure a lot of people out there would love having a Joyeuse or something... personally I wouldn't mind having some elemental staves or a pair of Kenkonken....

Oh hell that's what I didn't think of... Relic & Mythic weapon replicas! O.O AF REPLICAS!!!

Oh well. I only suggested they make figure sets for the CoP cast and a plushie for every avatar ^- ^

Also, the Carbuncle one squeaks (like he does in game) when you squeeze it!

I'm surprised other people also want airships in a bottle.

It's funny that people keep asking for wyverns in armor since they probably wouldn't be able to fly with the extra weight =P

One of the things I always said they should add are talon covers for wyverns. They wouldn't add much weight but you could have ones that inflicted status effects or dispelled or something. We assume when they attack they bite or claw their prey so why not have armor for the talons for some variety? SE could be lazy and have it equippable in your ranged slot I guess or make it so you have an equip menu for your wyvern only in your mog house where you could change his talon covers.

Who's "we"? I always assumed they used their head as a blunt instrument; since that's what it shows, and their claws and feeth are too small to do much good against a lot of mobs anyway.

That's actually one of the best and most reasonable suggestions I've heard for wyvern additions, ever.

I never even considered that, probably because I don't think there's a creature in the world that both possess a brain and can withstand the brain trauma of 900 headbutts/hour, for multiple hours each day. That's far worse than what boxers are subjected to.

That should be a unit. Headbutts/hour.

Ok...hitting it with its head?? Seriously??? Come on....

Have you people never heard of woodpeckers? Or rams (along with other creatures that headbutt; especially to establish dominance)?

[Armando]

Re: Survey: Help Design the Latest FINAL FANTASY XI Merchandise! (01/14/2009)

I don't think it's quite the same for woodpeckers (they can't possibly exert that much force on the surface they're pecking at the frequency they peck,) and other creatures that headbutt don't head butt 900 times in an hour for a couple of hours every day.

Re: Survey: Help Design the Latest FINAL FANTASY XI Merchandise! (01/14/2009)

Wait......wait......woodpeckers use their beaks and not their head.

Many of the foraging, breeding and signaling behaviors of woodpeckers involve drumming and hammering using the bill.[3] In order to prevent brain damage from the rapid and repeated decelerations woodpeckers have evolved a number of adaptations to protect the brain. These include small brain size, the orientation of the brain within the skull (which maximises the area of contact between the brain and the skull) and the short duration of contact. The millisecond before contact with wood a thickened nictitans membrane closes, protecting the eye from flying debris.[4] The nostrils are also protected; they are often slit-like and have special feathers to cover them.

From Wikipedia. Would fit just fine with Wyverns. Would also explain why they can be so freaking stupid, small brain size and all that.

That should be a unit. Headbutts/hour.

I propose: Dubyas.

I thought it was merely a pelvic thrust that really drove them insaAaAaAane!!

I too like the idea of airships in a bottle and nice atlas/maps ... and the body pillows

If they give us some "action figures" maybe we could get a Castle Zvahl Baily's replica a la Castle Greyskull with fully poseable ShadowLord

I would seriously buy a shirt/hoody that had "GOBBIES HAPPEN" printed on it... maybe the silhouette of a toon laying on the ground with a gobbie standing over it.

Personally, I'd like some nice leather boots resembling lizard skin... if I can't acquire the damn things in-game, I want them in RL

I believe I have a fan fest shirt that says "Gob Only Knows" on it. But I'd rather see more serious collectables than things vaguely related to FFXI, or toys.

Miniatures, figurines. Still really surprised I'm not the only one who wants an airship in a bottle. A miniature of Windurst Woods that looks like a bonsai from a distance would be really cool too. Miniature Jeuno would be pretty cool too, but I'm not sure what you'd do about the bridges. By 'miniature's of these towns, I mean about a foot tall, with suitable detail.
