once your def is a certain point over mobs they all hit for 0 on normal attacks.

[Toralyn]

and Marquis is mispronounced, no?

Correct!

The S is silent. Silly French.

[Slott]

that confused me at first. Then i looked it up....says it can be pronounced either mar -kwis, like they do in game, or mar key (how I usually pronounce it)

Spoilers I guess:

How gay is Reddas's sideburns? Scale of 1 to 10. 1 being just gay, 10 being Gay pride parade dancer gay.

What's a good party setup? X3 Vaan-Ashe-?

[Eaglestrike]

What's a good party setup? X3 Vaan-Ashe-?

I do Vaan-Basch-Ashe.

Ashe is good str/magick/vit
Basch is really good str and really good hp
Vaan is like -1 str from Basch a couple magick below ashe, less than 100hp behind basch and really good vit and spd. Vaan is the strongest stat-wise in the game.

Is there any way I can get out of the third ascent and buy Cleanse ._.

[Ohemgee]

nvm ghetto kill with everyone at 1 HP.

[Lbelle]

The whole "manufacted" and "marquis" things drove me insaaaaaaaaaaneeeeeeeeee. They say Bahamut weird too, like Baha-moot. I always have said Ba-ha-mutt.

[DeadLegend]

I always said ba-HA-moot

So for bazaar goods, say I am making 2 great arcana. Previously I had stolen 4 feystones and sold them. I collect 20 arcana and 2 souls of thamasa. I sell 10 arcana and 1 soul of thamasa and buy the great arcana. Then I sell 10 more arcana and another soul of thamasa. Will I get another great arcana?

[Elesirdur]

and Marquis is mispronounced, no?

The mispronunciation of French loan-words drives me insane playing this game. I took French for about 10 years in school/uni and having Marquis pronounces "Mar-kwis" instead of marˈki/ (or alternatively "Mah-key" if you're Quebecois) and a fete called a /feɪt/ is maddening.

I don't really blame the voice actors. Given their quality, I'm sure they know how to pronounce these words properly however I'm betting the SE bosses called the shots on this one.

[Fayttt]

stupid question, but where is the diamond armlet (i think thats what its called)? i rememebr someone talking about having to open a few chests in barheim passage with that equipped to get some shield..so anyone know where the thing is ? i didn't see anything about it in the posts I checked :\ only needing it for some stuff I saw.

[DeadLegend]

It costs 20k in some shop, I think the estersand south bank village, but I can't remember exactly.

[othellojr]

This is pissing me off actually, I killed the corcodile or w/e its name is, and the guy just mumbles about some woman being close by to give her the ring...anyone know where she is? I can't find her
