It's one of the best epics in the world, or so I hear.

Dame, what is this nonsense I hear about you not having read Harry Potter?
The world of Potter is an entire fantasy setting right alongside normal modern society, while at the same time perfectly secret from society, which is awesome in itself and adds an underlying thrill of tension, like "Oh no! What if the muggles find out!" throughout the entire series.
On top of that, the characters are believable, normal people. There are no genius bikini supermodels with superpowers and convenient mutations. The only bonus these kids have is that they can learn magic. But they do have to learn it, spending most of every year at a special school. And even then, there are strengths and weaknesses. For example, if you need anything blown to smithereens, get your grubby paws on Seamus instead of Ginny and so on.
FURTHERMORE! Every single book is a mystery of who is causing problems, how, and how to stop it. Every minute detail is important-- in book 1 we know exactly who Nicholas Flamel is right early, but only in passing. It's not until nearly the end of the book that we learn how important it was to remember that name! Every detail woven into a tapestry of importance! That made no sense, but whatever.
It's a classic good vs. evil story with great characters. You even sorta like the bad guys. The setting is beautifully imagined, the conflicts are gripping, the mastery of detail and foreshadowing is, uh, masterful, and anyways
I can't believe you! Dame, I am so disappoint!

Listen I'm all for magic and fantasy and mystery, but there is something lacking.

I read the first four books but then I graduated high school and stopped reading books all together. I'd rather play video games than read books. I watched all the movies though.
I appreciate your kind words, Mag. I didn't really like doing the whole dialog thing but it made it easier for me to portray without sounding repetitive with "said, Erik". I made sure I was doing the symbols so that they reflected what type of chat they were talking in (party chat, PM, or say). I tried to make popular culture references in each part. It started as a gimmick at first but it was more of little easter eggs for certain people. But I think that took away from the serious parts of the story. That's just my personality I think, when things start getting too serious things kind of fall apart and feels lackluster. I like to make jokes to break the tension. The dialogue actually worked in your favor, and particularly because this is the type of story where people get to interact, by removing Erik's voice, you're able to have your reader take his place. Much like Link in Zelda, Erik's muteness actually works to your advantage. That and it felt like I was actually playing ffxi there for a while. I've taken that exact path before, and that's pretty much how it feels going from sandy beach to a cool field, etc.

my wife made me watch all the potter movies, just because she read the books.
all in the theaters too >.< Funny how women have that power. I'm ashamed to say that I've seen Sex in the City 2. But I guess it's okay because I demand the same of my ladies. They either have to have seen The Big Lebowski, or I will make them watch it so that they can love it.
I never understood the hub-bub in highschool. The series wasn't good at all. How they made two movies out of 'Sex and the City' is totally beyond me!
I loved 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' in those days. Suse Essman and Larry David crack me up!

Personally I like it.
My opinion is heavily biased since I grew up reading the books. But from a literature point of view I still give great respect to the growth and development of the characters over the course of seven years and the ability write modernized fantasy.

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.

Update: Sorry Eternaltriumph, too much has changed D: (Page 698)
Eternaltriumph said: Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
