Bangaaa bcuz i like their voices, migelo's especially. :)

Viera come in 2nd for obvious reasons. o_O

viera

i liked the moogles in this one...especially the little pom pom on their heads...plus wouldn't it be cool if you could play as one?

Hume... Because of Ashe. :swoon::love:

Kupo! XD

I didn't find Ashe to be all that captivating actually. There were times when she really needed to grow a pair and move on.

I really wish one of the main characters was a moogle. I was so pumped to set up a black mage character out of one of the little guys

Viera easy, guess why.

Viera.

my favorite are the viera cause they are badass, even if they all need to get slapped and told to get over themselves, save a few. and their accents are awesome, especially Fran's (whose name i always confuse for Freya)

the moogles in this game are SUPER cute, but i miss their trademark noise (the bwa-bwa-bwao!)

i dont remember what a good portion of those look like but Banga for me

I hated them all.

viera

Because they kickass in every in every aspect of the word...

An all female race? Gotta be #1

Which raises the question "how do they reproduce"?

They must get really horny and go poach some humes for a 1 night stand, then dispose off immediately after and claim immaculate conception just to keep up appearences. Or maybe they have a thing for vorpal bunnys?

Well, Moogles, obviously, but didn't anyone else here like the Garif? I thought they were a lot like the Viera, but not all cold. They were really welcoming, I liked them.

Garif were cool yeah, and they seem to be an all male race, and the viera are all female. The garif could be the 1's eh?

They do all live quite close together...

Thats true.

But a rabbit screwing a bull/thing?

Hey, I was talking with someone who said he thought Fran and Balthier were a funny pair.

Honestly, I always thought Lulu from X was the goods, but I digress. I'll take Viera for $1000 Alex....

Oh gawd, but the Viera and their cold "leave here and never come back" really got on my nerves. At least, those that did that anyway. The nicer ones were fine.

Agreed - the Viera are easy on the eyes, but I don't have a lot of tolerance for that stuck-up, holier than thou attitude that the majority of them exhibit. My vote is for the Garif - they're like friendly Klingons, and the world could use more friendly Klingons ;-)

How does every thread always come to discuss the sexuality of the Viera?

I loathe the Baknamy. LOATHE I say! Can't stand it how there's so many of them. Aggro little shits.

And er... I vote Moogle. I like how they are the mechanics of Ivalice, hehe! Fix those windmills, boys! But I don't like Gurdy. Why is she everywhere and what makes her think I'd pay 800Gil for a Chocobo?!!? Does she have a bunch of sisters all names Gurdy? OR is she stalking me Hmmmmm....

How does every thread always come to discuss the sexuality of the Viera?

Well at least this one was discussing the races anyway, so it's on topic ;)

By the by, I finished that Coackatrice side quest the other day (where you have to run around Ivalice convincing them to return to Giza), and if you could consider them a race, they may be my new favourite (well they'd be up there on the list anyway). Their dialogue is great, very comedic; the way it's written provides them with an accent that makes them unique in Ivalice ('innit gov'na?), and each one has a personality all their own.

Could you please tell me how to get that Cockatrice out of the Chocobo pen in Balfonheim? The one where you have to give the fetaher to the Chocobo Wrangler and she is miffed as to who is speaking. That is becoming a real pain in the arse to me.

Sorry for off-topic-ness :-S

The cockatrice in the Balfonheim chocobo pen? Hmm... I seem to recall I simply talked with everybody around there --- Gurdy, the Miffed Moogle and the man standing in front of the chocobo and eventually, the whole thing got sorted out. Have you talked to everybody there?

Exactly - just talk to everyone that Agent mentioned and you should be all set.

Hmm, I could have sworn I spoke with everyone in the vicinity. I even went as far as renting a chocobo from Gurdy, just incase.

I'll put on my investigating feet and check it out once more.
Thanks.

You do have the Feather of the Flock that allows you to speak to the cockatrices, right?

Yes, I have it. I think I've done all the cockatrice except for the one in Balfonheim.

*edit*

Ok... well I loaded up the game and the only people that I can talk to in that area are the Chocobo Wrangler, the Miffed Moogle and Dyce the merchant ontop of the chocobo. There are of course other people but none of them are related to this side-quest.

Am I missing this 'man standing in front of the chocobo'? There's no one else around except for the calligrapher moogle.

Hrm. Okay, what exactly is the Miffed Moogle saying to you? And is there still a cockatrice in the pen?

The miffed moogle is saying that he never expected Gurdy to find his weakness.

Gurdy isn't saying anything and the Chocobo Wrangler aslways says the same things about wondering what it was she just heard when I give her the feather.

So perhaps I am now required to find this weakness the miffed moogle is talking about. But I am still stcuk. *contemplates*

Okay, I'm confused about exactly what point it is you're at. Have you talked with the cockatrice yet? Did the Miffed Moogle try to take a trip on it, only to end up back there, disappointed that the cockatrice abandoned him mid-trip?

Wow... no actually. I must have missed something. Nothing like that happened at all. I'm still at the very beginning. All I did was have the Chocobo Wrangler use the feather and she always says the same thing.

The miffed moogle at first did look at the cockatrice and think maybe it would be cheaper to ride on it. But that's all I could do in that area, so I left. Nothing happened. I'm past the Pharos Lighthouse now and went back to Balfonheim to have the miffed moogle talking about Gurdy exploiting its weakness.

So whatever went on it is still the very beginning of this part of the cockatrice sidequest.

I'm starting to suspect that I missed something vital...

Okay, this is really weird. Okay, I seem to remember that if you talk to Gurdy, there's an option to make a mention of the cockatrice. Have you tried that option? Eventually, you should be able to trigger a scene where the Miffed Moogle asks Gurdy about the cockatrice and Gurdy offers Miffed a really low price to ride it and he accepts. Then, if you come back later, you'll find the Miffed Moogle complaining that the cockatrice abandoned him.

The only option I get with Gurdy is to rent a chocobo for 800 Gil or to decline it.

I think something messed up. I'll just forget about it. Damn.

Geez. I'd hate for you to have to give up the whole thing. Maybe it's just a matter of having to progress further in the game before you can continue with it? How far along exactly are you? Did you just reach there? What point exactly are you at in the game?


Oh, and regarding your earlier post, I think Gurdy must be a hologram, like the moogles in Kingdom Hearts II.

I'd hate for me to drop the whole thing too seeing as I've found all the other cockatrice already and made them go back to the Giza Plains.

The problem is... I can't go any further in the game. The next stop is the Bahamut, and if I go there it's game over. This is the last chance I have to do this quest.

Maybe this should go under that 'missable side-quests' thread on the forum. Maybe I left it too late. I just don't know and it's irritating me, lol!

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it!

And yes... mysterious Gurdy. She must have a base of operations somewhere.

What the hell were Garif again?

What the hell were Garif again?

The Garif are the race that live next to Ozmone plain, they have the big horn things. Fran said that the "party" should go visit them because nethicite/magicite is ther culture.

Yes, that's correct. The Garif have a history and tradition of knowing about magicite and nethicite, but Ashe learns that they actually can tell her nothing about how to use the Dawn Shard. The Garif have great respect for powerful warriors. Although they are somewhat shy of outsiders, once you're in, you're treated as a welcome guest. The Garif petition you for several hunts and prove to a useful source of knowledge and wisdom.

The only option I get with Gurdy is to rent a chocobo for 800 Gil or to decline it.

I think something messed up. I'll just forget about it. Damn.

Sorry to go back to this, but there's a simple order you need to follow as far as who you talk to. First, talk to the wrangler, then the Miffed Moogle stomps over so talk to him/her next. The Miffed Moogle is curious about whether or not the Cockatrice would be cheaper to rent than the other Chocobos, so go talk to Gurdy and there will be a new option in the dialogue. Hope that helps (I hate missing things too).

Yeah, I confirm, Bene's order is right. That's what I remember doing. Try that and see if you can get it sorted out.

Moogles. The re-desing of theese little Kupo-talking Sweethearts is just sooo great :D.

I remembered what Garif were after I posted, don;t know how I forgot..

But I think my favourite race is the Mandragoras, especially the pumpkin one, so im not voting.

Moogles because they're so damn cute

i like the bunnies ears they are great they have like the greatist ears of all time

Viera cause they look so hot. Fire, fire, sssssssssssss.

It has been stated by a friend of mine that there are Male Viera - he told me that Square had officially this in a magazine some time ago, and said that the Male Viera were rare and hidden.

That's all he knows unfortunately >.<

I chose Humes as my favorite race - followed closely by Bangaa. I also like Moogles and Seeq - there's just so many things about each race I like :)

LOL. Perhaps we shall see some male Viera in Revenant Wings then?

My favorite would be the Moogles because they are so cute! I like SE's new design of Moogles...

...although I still miss the old moogles from old FF's. :(

Viera....I could stare at them all day XD

ohh ya viera because they are so one with nature andanother their outfits are hottt!!!!!!!!! but other then them i like the humes cause their second good lookin

i like humes kinda logic...

Moogles cause they're so adorable! But I also loved Fran's accent. XD

I always loved the moogles. Vieras are great too (natural playboy bunnies), but moogles are so adorable, I give them my vote.

voted Occuria based on comparison of wikipedia's definitions of the races..because they sound like those big waddling things you only see five minutes of in The Fifth Element (and why did a red-headed - lulu?- be the incarnation of the alien instead of another alien??) but mostly because powerful magic is more interesting than close quarter combat. and whatever about male Vieras, what about male Renamon mm? have never played XII by the way, only all the others before it..my sister's played it though, on the other side of the states..hate her.

Moogles never fail to amuse me. :)

awsome viera still rule

moogles of course!!

MOOGLES all the way!!

Well, Moogles, obviously, but didn't anyone else here like the Garif? I thought they were a lot like the Viera, but not all cold. They were really welcoming, I liked them.

I really liked the Garif. They have a very "earthly" way of being. They are at one with the land, so to speak. They are very welcoming and had this indian feel about them.

I'd go with the Garif. Though the Viera were pleasing to the eye, they were so full of shit.

Viera

Viera of course!!

I'd have to vote moogle. Their the best

Oh, definitely moogles for me.

Got to be the Garif or Banga. The viera are just disturbing, giant talking rabbits in skin tight leather? it's wrong, so very wrong.
Although i do have a theory about the Viera and Garif being two halves of the same species.

The viera are just disturbing, giant talking rabbits in skin tight leather? it's wrong, so very wrong.

I agree with you there. They really need better tailors or something. >.> xD

The garif reminded me of Ronso, so I didnt like them. Moogles defo, the new design is much better.

I kind of looked at the Viera as the Ronso in this game. Golmore Jungle/Mt. Gagazet. Voice of the forest/Mountain.
And there is one in your group that is not allowed to go back to the tribe.

It's been a while since I've played FFX, so please, correct me if I'm wrong at some part...

humes- ur usual everyday boring characters apart from the judges especially judge magister gabranth he is awesome

viera- um not much to say here apart from all my mates say they look like they're from playboy lol

moogles- these littles things just piss me off nuff said

occuria- the only good things about these are the espers they made

garif- remind of native americans and the ronso for they're superior physical ability they look cool n i like em

baknamy- the most annoying things that have come in to final fantasys existance they alwats dodge your attacks and they use death

seeq- fat bastards that need alot of exercise

banga- pretty cool but i wish you could use one on your main party

and thats all i gotta

The moogles are just brilliant in FFXII. Probably one of the best bits of the game to be honest.
