to give some possible answers to some of the questions.

bahamut as summon- just too powerful. i believe he is immortal unlike the other avitars. and to summon him, it would require more then simply reconstituting his defeated spirit.

as for the odin/alexander theory- you do have to defeat them both leaving them in a severly weakened state. and you only plead for their assistance for a very short duration.

i think bahamut would be far too powerful. also they would have to make him a fire element and that would mean 2 fire elemental avitars and that would offset the balance of the job.

with the indruduction of cait sith(which i believe to be light) that will make 2 light, 2 dark, and 1 of each element that can be controlled. and a light and dark that are momentairily summoned.

as for a few other WTF issues- how abot the fact that you can carry 90 extremely large book shelves or beds on your person but you cant in any way stack coffer ande chest keys.

that a ninja wielding daggers causes more damage then with katanas

You can walk up stairs easily but you can't even walk up a tiny little ledge.

Why do Hecteyes aggro by sound when they have no ears and a million eyes?

Why do beetles link by sight when they don't have any eyes?

Why is there parrying skill on RNG relic when they have no native skill?

Why does BLU get access to throwing weapons when they have no native skill?

Why does the term "balance" mean "nerf everything that isn't SAM?"

/thread
They have eyes, at least this is how I see it

Mega Flare is traditional non-elemental, not fire.

Bamahut wouldn't be overpowered, it would put SMN in it's rightful place instead of underpowered. Tanaka's vision of Balance etc.

why do beetles have 4 legs...instead of 6?

why do spiders have 6 legs...instead of 8?

why is it that a giant dragon in a small area...isn't noticeable until you walk a few feet from it?

we master inter-dimensional travel...can only stay in abyssea for a minimum of 5 minutes?

Travel to the emergence of all life as we know it,cant go to Tavnazian Capital ever.

how can BRD monsters gain two buffs...without an instrument?

why do samurai mobs wield great axes?

how can NIN mobs do a shiton of damage with Mijin Gakure...but players can barely break 1K?

I believe the logic is the two little claws are considered limbs, thus adding to 8. They are their primary weapon, so to speak, so two legs evolved into sharper, smaller ones to be used offensively rather than for mobility.


As my contribution, related to spiders:

Look at the shadow.

v Summoner rant. Read at your own choosing >_>

Want to know something I couldn't make sense of when I still played?

Remember in Wings of the Goddess where you planted a treant bud in the past, then traveled to the future to collect an item for a NPC from the grown treant? Going by that, anything we affect in the past should have some impact on the future; to a degree. However! How come none of the NPCs in the present that were key NPCs in the past nations' stories remember you? Or even hint at it? Don't you think that the Archduke of Jeuno would have remembered you? Or what's his face that
?

This is why you leave time travel to The Doctor. >_> Silly Sqenix story writers.

There are a lot of eternally-puzzling questions out there, I think...

Why is "twenty years ago" supposedly such a long span of time for Vanadiel people? It's not really as long as they are thinking it is. :p

I agree, where the heck did all the fortifications and doors on dungeons that have no doors go???

Speaking of rabbits, why is one of their abilities called "Foot Kick"? Isn't that a bit redundant? What else are you going to kick with? lol

Why rng got a treasure hunter ability over cor... I'd think pirates who are all about gambling would be the ranged class to get an ability to increase chances of getting treasure.

Why Bard only got about 2 or 3 different tunes to play.

It's annoying and repetative....

On that note, why Bard's only get a C skill for their music, but are the only ones who can carry a tune worth a damn?

And when you cook something, where the hell do the dishes and cutlery come from!?

1) because singing and the (instrument) skill add up(which i think gives you the ability to go over the A+ cap)

2) magic...pure..unscrupulous..magic

I always thought that music/instrument based attacks naturally have much more accuracy than magic and ninjutsu that's why it caps lower, balanced to have the same accuracy as a A+ capped skill hmmm

bard skills are a bit wierd :<

Singing skill + (the instrument you have equipped) skill gives you your total skill level [if i understand it correctly]. at capped you can get a total of 746 skill (373+373= 746) which is way over the A+ cap for skill :< if they where all A+ BRD would be incredubroken. Not to mention the effects that skill has on songs :<

"Mommy! Look!"
"Just ignore it, maybe it'll just keep moving along."

Airship: So where's the engine room?

Hume Males make it look like a Great Sword is so heavy when in battle stance. But when they emote it's so light.

Elvaan Females stab with Axes? How does that hurt a mob?

Gravity a Marid and run far away. Come back in 10 mins and it still finds you?

Pull a mob from one of the holes in Yuhtunga/Yhoater Jungle and they become jesus?

I'm more concerned about how it seems to be where you store all your food and meds.
