Everything this guy says is just laden with such heavy sarcasm that it's impossible to take him seriously. I don't know if it's intentional or not but I love it.

He sounds like the one evil martian from Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.

I'm a little jealous because the npcs in my starting area are not nearly as funny.

Who is the guy?

Thancred? I think that's his name.

ah, Thancred

Thancred IS good and you'll eventually meet him too since it sounds like you started in... probably Gridania by the sound of it

Yeah, I'm in Gridania.

We both just started this game the other day so neither of us are very far in.

yeah I don't really remember what Yda and Papalymo are like that early, aside from "less interesting than Y'shtola or Thancred"

(Y'shtola being the Limsa Lominsa equivalent to them, storywise)

Ah, okay. I sort of like Yda. But I'm pretty sure she's high as a kite most of the time.

Thancred is a very interesting character.
