Sorry for the confusion - I was in a rush because the library's closing and then I couldn't use the computer to continue working on any RPs.

[@tsukune]First off, how could they NOT have their abilities, I understand them not being able to use them because they don't remember how to. Yeah they're from games, but at least for Edward, he came with all his abilities available to use in his game. To me at least, it makes more sense for them to have their abilities, but not remember they have them or how to use them. It could also be hilarious to see them accidentally discover them. Imagine Cloud using Omnislash on some poor slime because he doesn't know he can use it.[/quote]

Yes, you're right - they have the memories of their past. What I mean is: their name is the only thing they know it by heart. For abilities, it is exactly like you said - since their mind is in a mess, they can't correctly recall how to use them properly, at times leaving to their "body memory" to act on instinct, using them at the most inappropriate moment, like that omnislash. ;)

[quote=@AirBender]Second, and I know for a fact that this is because I've never played XIV. Forging? How does that work? What materials would one even need to forge a harp? Can someone direct me to a wiki page on it or something? Forget it, I'll find the wiki page myself, save everyone some time.

Third, Edward is starting off alone with no harp. He is so fucked. XD

Forget that I said that - to save everyone from throwing rotten chocobo eggs at me, they have the basic weapon. Yay!
