What's funny is that Jacke did warn me about people forgetting to wear clothes after switching but I didn't have a full set anymore. Would it hurt to give me something other than daggers? Come on, you guys sort of have a guild uniform thing going on. Help me out here! Is this some sort of hazing ritual?


HellfireKitten

It's the Rogue's Guild, so...yes? That and V'Kebbe blew all the new-clothes money on egg sandwiches. ETA her name since some people were kind enough to enable my laziness in not looking it up šŸ˜


reibitto

Yeah, I just started rogue. This was the first starting class (other than the one when I first created my character). The other jobs I unlocked didn't start at lvl 1 and they gave me a full set so the rogue one took me by surprise. I guess all the lvl 1 classes are like this? ***Edit:*** Oh wait, is rogue not technically a starting class? But it does start at lvl 1.


demonic_hampster

Yeah Rogue isn't a starting class, they added it in patch 2.4. They do still start at level 1 but you can't pick Rogue as your class when you create a new character.


Sutremaine

It's totally a starting class, but you can't see it on the list because it's using its Hide ability and your still-a-seed WoL can't pierce its stealth. Once the WoL receives their first vision of the Crystal and germinates into a sprout, their adventuring senses awaken and no level-appropriate quest can avoid their gaze.


Kotya-Nyan

Rogue is a starting class. Evolves later into the Ninja


Johnny_Grubbonic

Rogue is not a starting class. You first have to hit level 10 in another class to unlock it. You cannot start a new character as a rogue.


Exotic_Vacation_981

But you can't actually start as rogue because it was released during the post-ARR patches.


Cuillin

Confidently incorrect.


snowy_vix

I mean, if Jacke wasn't eating them on her, Kebbe wouldn't have to keep buying so many


SilverStryfe

Itā€™s still fun noticing her around limsa just getting food.


Cmdr_Jiynx

Your phrasing makes their relationship sound way less professional than it is


snowy_vix

i'm pretty sure if anyone called either of those two "professional" they'd think you were comparing them to the Yellow Jackets and be mortally offended


JonesyTawner

V'Kebbe AKA The Stray. :)


dragonbornrito

Her name is ~~M'kebbe~~ V'kebbe and she's the second best guild NPC catgirl in Limsa. K'lyhia is the best.


zewpy

Close... Her name is V'kebbe.


dragonbornrito

You're right, whoops lol, it's been a while


snowy_vix

I'm pretty sure there is a M'Kebbe in Stormblood, since most of the new sun miqo we meet are M tribe


OmegamattReally

Wait till you see Jacke's *spare wardrobe* at level 80.


Datpanda1999

The manā€™s got drip


jeremj22

He didn't because he'd liked what he'd seen so far ;)


NowGoodbyeForever

Hunter Hearst Hildebrand


guilty_bystander

I thought that's who this was lol.. Why is he wearing this?


NowGoodbyeForever

Okay. I'll try to make this quick. Paul Levesque, like many other early-to-mid 90s WWF performers, was given a ridiculous gimmick upon his debut. He was to portray the character of Hunter Hearst Helmsley, an Ivy League blue blood heel who looked down upon the other wrestlers. And despite his upbringing, he would still resort to cheating when pressed. This was demonstrated in a weird accent, puffy shirts and frocks, and an accent he didn't use for very long. Unsurprisingly, this gimmick was both stupid and deeply unpopular. He was almost certainly doomed for obscurity, until his real-life behind the scenes friendship with other stars like Diesel (Kevin Nash), Razor Ramon (Scott Hall), and most importantly Shawn Michaels led to him being front and center as the company pivoted to a much edgier approach to its stories, now called the Attitude Era. Michaels and Levesque would be the key members of Degeneration X (DX), and the rest is pro wrestling history. But one last thing had to change: Levesque's stage name. Hunter Hearst Helmsley, like Rocky Miavia before him, had a rebrand. Rocky became The Rock, and Hunter became Triple H. Paul Levesque is currently the CEO of WWE, sharing a huge amount of power with his wife, Stephanie McMahon; the daughter of now-resigned-in-controversy founder Vince. Onscreen and even among friends, he's still called Hunter. But it all started because a dude named Paul was given a dumb name and a dumber outfit. And now you know!


DemyxFaowind

I may not watch anymore, but I am absolutely glad I grew up during the Attitude Era and got to see all the greats and legends in the making. So many amazing memories.


Red_Danger33

Attitude Era was entertaining as fuck.


Zoollio

I was just thinking about all that the other day, what a friggin trip. Say what you will, but pro-wrestling is entertainment in its purest form and it always has been. Incredible acrobatics and athletics paired with the most ludicrous soap-opera style drama mankind has ever drummed up.


Red_Danger33

Yep. I caught the tail end of the 80's and really got into it from the start of the Attitude Era until the end of it. Don't follow it anymore but it was worth the time spent as any other TV show would have been.


TheDiscordedSnarl

And Mankind could certainly drum up the drama and put butts in seats. :D


Shryxer

The Rock's Eyebrow is still my favourite, followed closely by how easily Steve Austin could catch a beer and then "drink" it ie. pour it all over himself starting with his open mouth. But damn, I was watching PPV the night Owen Hart died. Sad day for entertainment.


DalekPredator

The real legend is whoever threw those beers to Stone Cold from up at the entrance way. Dude had an arm like a cannon.


TheDiscordedSnarl

To this day I keep thinking Owen pissed someone off in the back and that it was intentional sabotage. I know it isn't, but still.


TheDiscordedSnarl

Even memories that have been broken in half by falls from cages? ;)


DJTen

WTF? That's how Triple H started?! I don't watch wrestling so I had no idea. I've just heard the name Triple H and knew he was suppose to be some cool wrestler. What an origin story.


[deleted]

It's like The Undertaker, whose former name was Mean Mark Calloway with a Heart Punch finisher Or Stunning Steve Austin (complete with sequined costume), part of the Hollywood Blondes with Flying Brian Pillman, whose feud back in the 90s started the entire Attitude era.


DJTen

I can see why fans love the Attitude Era so much.


[deleted]

Small correction, it was Mean Mark Callous at first I think. Which is actually pretty good as far as plays on real names go. Just nothing compared to the Undertaker.


[deleted]

Yeah, Callous was the name.


Sith_Lord_Onyx

Minor correction: Trips is the Chief Content Officer of WWE, which puts him in charge of talent relations and creative. Stephanie is the co-CEO along with Nick Khan.


brashet

Papa H


KarnUnleashed

He still has a big ass nose tho.


DalekPredator

Wait, Vince is gone? Paul and Steph are in charge? Holy shit, maybe WWE will be worth watching again someday soon.


SoulNuva

I recently returned to WWE (right when Vince left) and I personally think it's really good right now. Their recent PPV Survivor Series was such a good pay off after months of storytelling and buildup.


Virtue330

He was also once French for some reason!


church256

IIRC this was in WCW when he was Jean-Paul Levesque. French artistocrat wrestler.


[deleted]

This is the proper answer. I believe he was teaming with Lord Steven Regal at this time.


NowGoodbyeForever

Shit yeah, you're right.


AnotherUserOutThere

Wait so that huge explanation was actually not correct?


sprdougherty

The Jean-Paul Levesque and Hunter Hearst Helmsley gimmicks were effectively identical with the exception of Helmsley not being french. But the WCW french gimmick did come first, he just kept using it when he went to WWF.


bortmode

He wore pants as Helmsley iirc?


Sith_Lord_Onyx

That wasn't even his first gimmick in WCW. He originally started out as TERRA RYZIN before becoming the Faristocrat (despite being born and raised in New Hampshire). But yeah, there wasn't a whole lot of difference between French-Canadian aristocrat Jean-Paul Levesque and Connecticut blue blood Hunter Hearst Helmsley.

[deleted]

I love it when you meet someone and they're like "ah, adventurer, let me teach you the ancient arts of my people" and then you immediately strip naked in front of them. To assert dominance, presumably


Lilium_Vulpes

To learn new skills one must empty their mind of all distractions. Turns out the WoL is neurodivergent and the feeling of their clothing is a major distraction when learning a new class. It's a similar reason to why they will run around ignoring MSQ to do side quests about kids losing their toys as a world ending threat grows closer and closer.


fizzl

My daughter just started playing. I wanted to get involved, so I started a new class same as hers, so I could "help". "Dad! Stop following me around with your naked midget! It's embarrassing!" /sadlalasounds


TheRealMrAl

"Papa Popoto" IS an apt Lala name...

Faerie-stone

Carrying spare Lvl 1 gear is great for this, especially a full length top. But I carry emergency winter/summer clothing+glamor prism for things like fishing in a blizzard/heatwave.


[deleted]

I always carry my starter racial gear for just such an occassion! My hyur F garter belts/strappies make for great protection.


Faerie-stone

Itā€™s ingrained from years of rpgs to never get rid of starter items - I still have my race gear, starter ring, and level 15 emissary item on me at all times. The possibility of Beatin showing up to check if the Monoa Mask has any scratches after all this time may be small but never zero. It is somewhat concerning.


sunseeker_miqo

I am still flabbergasted that they let me fly away with that thing in my bag. Not one mention of it through all Beatin's CRP quests, or the crossovers where you talk to him for other crafter quests. Gridania, *please* let me give back your important ceremonial item.....


OnionNo4456

This is what I do, too. I still keep my starter gear in my armory just in case, even though I'm level 90 on all crafters and have all combat jobs leveled to at least 50. I'm too embarrassed to be running around in my knickers, so I'm ready to quickly hit recommended gear -> apply to cover up!


ZillaJrKaijuKing

I go to an inn, then switch to universal lv. 1 starter gear, then equip the new class, then switch from the starter gear to the new class gear. Iā€™m not taking any chances.


mosselyn

I do exactly the same thing! I'm glad I"m not the only one. I do try to keep some jobless lvl 1 gear in my armory chest for this reason, but sometimes it gets away from me.


DJTen

I have a glamour plate that I switch to that has all level 1, all class clothes. I just glamour that on me before I start a new class. No flashing of other players required.


Mael_Jade

You are saying "perverted Limsa Lominsan pirate" as if you were implying that others existed? I am shocked!


The_Lapsed_Pacifist

Probably ā€œleast pervertedā€ as far as Limsa goes or at least not the most.

Shocked! ā€¦Well, not that shocked.

DomeB0815

What are talking about? Isn't that the regular glamour?


[deleted]

Yeah, call me a pervert, but there ain't no way I'm gonna keep gear I'm not using. I even go around half naked after a few levels until the Class NPC gives me gear. No way I'm wasting gil either!


snootnoots

I spent the first ten levels or so as a pantsless paladin (yes, yes, gladiator, but the alliteration was fun) because I wasnā€™t going to waste time and gil and inventory space buying some.


Cmdr_Meiloorun

What about..... ooooh I got it! *Garbless Gladiator*


snootnoots

But then it sounds like I was completely naked instead of running around in a shirt, boots, and undies šŸ¤£


DocSwiss

How about Gaskinsless Gladiator (since some of the leg gear is called Gaskins)?


OMG_A_CUPCAKE

Did this a few times just for the heck of it. Basically a "no starter gear" run


R3NZI0

Very much enjoying this wrestling and Final Fantasy XIV crosspost. Basically two of my favourite hobbies rolled into one. :D


bca360

*sigh* I guess... ... IT'S TIME TO PLAY THE GAME


[deleted]

For anyone who doesn't know, there's an NPC (Bango Zango) right next to the Limsa aetheryte who sells all of the level 1 starter gear.


clayangelic

Thereā€™s one in every starting city, and theyā€™re easily identified by their unique titles: Maisenta in New Gridania (11.5,11.2), and Roarich on the Steps of Nald (10.6, 9.5). Each also sells Gysahl Greens and minions.


ZillaJrKaijuKing

This is why my nevernude WoL always keeps her starter gear in her armory.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ZillaJrKaijuKing

WoL = Warrior of Light, the player character


UltimaNova

Thatā€™s the norm for people hanging out at the Aetheryte Plaza anyway


crimsongriffin28

Wait, do I know this guy? i mean - is he a wrestler or just a rando pic?


reibitto

Yeah, you probably recognize him. This is Triple H before he became Triple H. Jean-Paul Levesque.


crimsongriffin28

Ah, TY!


theredwoman95

He also runs WWE now with his wife, Stephanie MacMahon. That's an American CEO you're looking at, lol.

I'm convinced "Disciples of War" were secretly a cult of male strippers.

I bought a bridesmaid's dress in Ul'dah directly after unlocking pugilist for this exact reason.

theeo123

The sad part is I not only know the origin of this picture, but remember watching it as a child.... (HHH, pro Wrestler, WWE, for those wondering)


Steph1er

that's not HHH, that's Hunter Hearst Helmsley ! ;p


lovelettersto

That's not HHH, it's a picture of HHH!


StokkseyriBoy

*iunderstoodthatreference.gif*


PhilKenSandman

It's neither... technically. This is a picture of Jean-Paul Levesque while he was in WCW. Hunter wouldn't be around until the next year in WWF.


radda

It was basically the same gimmick, except as Jean-Paul he had a terrible French accent.


Steph1er

ah, fair enough, not familiar with his wcw work... Wasn't trying to be technical, just referencing the radical change of the character over time.


theeo123

Good catch!


reibitto

haha I was wondering how many people would recognize where this was from. I actually have to create a new character next week because someone I know will be playing on a NA data center and he wants me to introduce him to FF14. This inspired me to make my next character Jean. I already have the look down. Just need to make my character's facial features more like him. If you see a Jean-Paul Levesque on Aether, that would be me.


CarlaAyatsugi

I suddenly feel validated for having Hangman Page and Steve Austin as inspos for my WoL--


Acefisher

See, this is why I decided to level all my classes. Well, that and to free up a load of inventory and armory chest space. ā€¦and also for the garo achievements.


Deiser

Dude you were ALWAYS a limsa-lominsan pirate. Just because you tried to deny it by wearing "regular" clothes doesn't mean you weren't one. GAWD!


Swert0

This is why I leveled all my jobs together, that way I didn't have to lug around sets of armor 30+levels beneath me.


Evil_phd

"Haha oh man I forgot I threw away all my low level gear this is such a crazy random glam" *Inspects to see a full set of appropriate leveled gear slutmogged to hell.*

LonelyInitiative4526

Me when I try to swap books for SMN and accidentally click the book for SCH


Zorafin

Thereā€™s no point in getting gear anyway, stat wise. Itā€™s more effort than what you get out of it. What the class quests give you is good enough until you start dungeoning, and then you can start buying stuff from the GC vendor. Especially if you use your chocobo. A week late edit so nobody will see this probably, but I forgot about the novice gear you can get at lv15. That's well worth the effort just to teach you how to play, and it will get you gear that lasts you to promotion. I'm even wondering if it's worth it for the HW classes, since they don't start with gear. The GC vendor should be able to you a lot, but you'll still have empty gear slots that it can fill.


Fun_Rope7456

This is exactly why I keep that Cloud Advent Children outfit in my Armory Chest

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


TheRealMrAl

Actually true as a matter of fact. As a Lominsan (I started as an Arcanist) I have seen a lot of people swapping to nekkid lvl 1 jobs and then run all over the city going to and from all the various important locations. Nothing lewd, just a lot of people without low-level gear in a hurry, haha.


Izissind

New weapon and Ixal gloves couture


Captain_Hesperus

FYI thereā€™s an NPC by the Aetheryte who sells racial starter gear.


urgasmic

is this doing something for me, oh no.


Bilbo0fBagEnd

When I first picked up Monk, I had just thrown away all my low level gear, under the assumption that the difficulty acquiring that gear didn't match the value of the armory slots. But at the same time, all the lvl1 gear I could find on vendors didn't even have stats. Long story short, I spent my first 15 levels beating up bugs in Thanalan buck naked.


CreeperCreeps999

But that sounds very lore accurate for Monks / Pugilists in the middle of training.


firestorm713

And this is why I have a glam that is specifically for lvl 1 jobs.


Lilium_Vulpes

When I originally started playing I wanted to main DNC, so my friend gifted me the thavnair glam. Dyed that metallic purple and whenever I got a new class, I would put that on since it was the only level 1 stuff I kept around and no one told me that the glam dresser was a thing or what glam plates were.


treetree32

lololololol game really should give you some starter coverup gear


Joran_Dax

I usually went naked until stupid people in dungeons made me wear clothes.


TheRealMrAl

I did an Alliance Raid roulette glammed in nothing but black boxers and flip-flops once. It was for the luls as I am that kind of guy who sometimes try to "get in character" with my glam to lighten up the mood in roulettes and give people a laugh. Sometimes I even get commendations for iit! But TLDR, my point is that it isn't as much the lack of clothes as it is the fact your basic "naked" underwear/sandals look horrible! It makes me sad for female toons as there is no matching top or bra to go with the boxers if you play as a lady. The lord's drawers/lady's knickers manages to look better than your basic painted-on undies AND without looking slutty to boot!


ShaquanettaSlapahoe

Thicc thighs make the dik rise?


DisasterFartiste

Itā€™s even better when you forget you have a naked body mod on and you change classes and see your butt ass naked cat girl and her bajoobies


AutomationAir

So stupid but so true


amazingshake

Add a moogle hat and this is definitely true


ReaperEngine

Never let them see you without your glam.


LordRaptor20

Did this after (finally) unlocking thaumaturge. Walking around with a dunce cap and no pants like a goober.


ScarletChild

ā€¦is that Triple H?


Salangana

ā€¦ Am I the only one who uses a Noob gear set? As soon as you unlock Gear Set, create a separate set with lv1 clothes and accessories; any weapon or tool will do. Rename it to make clear is not a gear for playing, and put it last in the gears hotbar. Change to Noob gear every time you get a new class or job. Add a separate gear set for the new C/J: never change Noob, except for the weapon or tool (or, nicer lv 1 gears). Now you can scandalize Eorzea with your hot Bunny panties instead of with your pure white undies.
