    ???????? – Temple Crown
    A headband designed to protect the skull, this hachimaki is outlined in gold. Fastened properly, it is said to raise your fighting spirit to the max.
    In before Broli.

    Anyways, I didn't like the artifact section as much as the War stuff, which tried to explain the in-game stats of the items, but overall I liked this better. The section on Oggbi was especially good.

    (Also Elmer, small typo in the Cornelia section. "Cornelia was martial artists.")

    Loving these Elmer, keep up the great work! Only part that makes me sad about this is that they didn't include the Black Belt, although the build-up to it in game is pretty great in and of itself.

    I like this one alot more than the WAR one..
    the equipment was interesting.. I like the flavor text about Indra from the southern lands and all...

    seems like you're going by default job order.. so I'm guessing WHM next? cant wait

    Elmer doesn't HAVE to do it in that order.

    He could throw me a bone here

    I'm also interested in the NIN one simply because it was probably written before they said 'ok, fine, NIN is a tank'.

    These katars have been bestowed with the name of Indra, a god of war from the Southern lands. These weapons allow you throw out punches so fast, they say it is as if you actually possess the four arms of Indra. In addition, sometimes the lightning god's power will burst forth from the tips.

    That explains the triple attack. :D

    These are really awesome. Square really needs to step up to the plate and give this kind of backstory to us. <3 Elmer.

    Thanks for all these. That Chi Blast picture is awesome. No origins of the Beat Cesti?
