OK, after this I swear I'll stop and shut up about this.

Once again, I want to extend a huge thank you to everyone for everything you've done for me since I started Masamune. I haven't felt so stoked in a long time in-game and this is something that six months ago, I wouldn't have thought was possible. You guys have really gone above and beyond for this. You've all had a role in this and at the end of the day, this isn't just my achievement, this is everyone's.

Leo, Meue, thank you two for taking your time to help me, namely on LL and the bitch queen herself. The fact you guys were pretty much selfless when offering to help in lowman kills has been nothing short of touching.

Gukai, thank you for being a constant source of motivation. Ftom dual boxing me through the first few shitty trials to spam messaging me to keep up, I don't exaggerate when I say I couln't have done it without you.

Ion, CJ, Nef, Obs, DS, Kaida, Leggy and the others who shared in the marathon sessions in La Theine - thank you all for sticking with it and offering your help. I'm happy that all of you had parts to play in this. I really don't know how to repay you all.

I hope this teamwork extends to our other Empyreans and +2s as well! This Masamune will certainly be fighting with you when we do.

You guys are amazing, and I've no regrets making this shell with you all!

*OK, after this I swear I'll stop and shut up about this.*

I cheered after that! Just kidding!

Really though, I've been a slouch and completing this Masamune hasn't hit me the same way it did Crysten. When I completed it I was already thinking of everything else I needed to do. I'll be honest, theres so much still going all over the place for me that my mind doesn't register alot of the successes I've had recently because it's already hampered by my responsibilities for the next task - whether its something immediate such as farming seals or something long term such as relics and croin-coin. I'm sorry for that, I was caught up in what was still upon me that I had not reflected and thanked everyone properly.

What we did is HUGE! It's not like we had a LS of 9000 people and can bang out TE's and an empyeran weapon in 5 hrs (Fuck you Eastcrow). We did it kicking, screaming, crawling, bleeding, and with lots of insomnia. We did it together and when we weren't together we rounded up whoever possible to make this goal a reality.

A few people I really owe alot to.
CJ has been the biggest help and motivation to me, and I know he pains when we did Carabosse and his weapon (harder to farm as it is) received less attention, but he championed through it and was with us the whole time, and without him I don't think would have been possible
Alegria has always cheered me on and did whatever I needed to get KI and drops. My loving-wife, my support, my … THF!! Never a complaint, always supporting, always there especially at the end when we were getting so close.
Crysten… without you push me (as I'm naturally competitive) I don't think I would have had this done any time soon, or the drive to get it going. When I was pushing you through all the trials I also pushed myself. And also bouncing ideas and frustrations off each other you were what kept me mentally focused.

Meue, Kaida, Obs, Nef, Ion, DS, Bubu, Lorayne, Mithril, Twinrose, and anyone else who came and helped out and cheered us on - you guys are the best. You guys supported us and didnt back down to this grueling ordeal.

Lets face it, so many of us want these types of weapons and we have so much still ahead of us and we have not slowed down. I echo Crysten in saying I hope this show of unwavering support for each other continues with more Carabosse's and the evil pink mandy and that ugly worm and that stinky giga.
