I guess its time I put a few names down ;)
First and foremost its got to be Reps, somewhat a perfectionist :p he won't level without the best gear and without doing the best he can, if only more people would follow this example. Been friends for about 4 years no (christ time flies), really couldnt ask for a better friend. Started the game at the same time and done nearly everything together.
Without Reps I wouldn't be where I am in FF today. Always a lvl or two ahead of my throughout and the first guy I'd ask about the new items for our PLD's. Alas who would have thought 2x PLD can't party together ¬_¬. Now he's a trigger happy ranger who I enjoy trying to match damage with as a mere SAM (and fail lol).
Now with Reps there's always Ysabell :) As they say, behind every good man there's a great woman, well in this case behind every good rng there's a great rdm. She the best rdm I've ever partied with, does a hell of a lot more than any other rdm i've seen, and not to mention does a fine job of whm too! A great person to be around and always, always willing to help.
Also at times the blondest brunette I know :p /hug
Dritz / (Kamaitachi)
Back in force! with a new POL ID and currently kicking *** as WAR/NIN. First met him as a DRG back in the day on his first char who really really impressed me. Taken on as a replacement into the party and suddenly we were chaining 4 and 5's! Altho somewhat a suicidal puller lol it was nonstop and great fun. Been a fantastic new friend to meet on this game, willing to help with anything. This guy took me through rank 4 and 5 without any hesitation. A quality you wouldn't expect from a brand new friend. Great Stroper puller too :D Never has ordelles been so fun.
Glad to have you back mate, looking forward to kicking some more *** at the Promy's soon ;D /salute
Zefren
Leader of my first proper linkshell which Dritz got me into, met a lot of good people, such as Regolith who you mihgt see kicking about as monk these days (oh the bad jokes just don't stop). But back to zef! Also a welcome return to see him back - managed to get the old team back together, me, reps, ysabell, dritz, zefren and proceeded to do a promy on our first try. Who woulda thought a THF can make a WHM :D. A great guy who of the same mentality as Dritz is willing to help anybody if he can.
Azraelx
This guy is quite simply unstoppable. With RDM and PLD under his belt he solo's just about anything! Huge respect for him he's taught me so much even when he was half my level. I didnt know you could teleport to outposts! Nor did i know you could get extra mog space from the Bed quests! (your supposed to tell me these things reps!). Now i hate to be a stuck record, but once again Azra is one of the nicest people to meet, willing to help you whenever, whatever. I look forward to catching up with you mate, so hard to find a good tank these days.
Also if you need a guide, this is your man - you need a map? He's got it! Also with his playstation hax! he somehow out-pulls any gil seller/botter! big respect for you Az, something i have zero talent for.
Xanza
a mate of several years from the same game as reps, an upcoming DRK you should look out for. Hates me helping him out with anything! can't give him anything for free he has a real sense of self achievement and wants to make his own path in FF, great guy and looking forward to Ballista with this northern fairy ;)
P.S If you ever party with him, he talks less than Reps! Might get a WS or TP report btu nothing much else lol!
Blacke
The little fella me and Reps took pity on when he was a mere lvl 20 RDM needing a trip to Jueno, (you all know how impossible that journey seemed). Great guy and mad crafter! "Its not what you know, its who you know" and dammmnn does Blacke know people. Offering me all the high level synths from his friends :D. Speaking of which you promised me some Adaman armour for my pld for that trip! Good guy, once again, willing to help out. And also very lucky! not many people get their G1 paper on first 2 mins! (i needed skillups too >< )
Calalean & Lellya
A great pair, married (as i later found out) :D had great party with Calalean and was a small set for a while, real shame i couldn't really commit the hours at the time :( One of the best WHM's i'd partied with ever (OMG YOU HAVE ERASE!), altho i understand he's currently a crazy RNG.
Lellya who i met when she'd just started off virtually in Valk, someone very happy to join me reps and ysabell and get the hell out of the dunes! was weird having a "Cal says hello" from her, small world eh? :)
I can honestly say Lellya is one of THE nicest people you can meet, willing to help me out with anything, setting aside a time to do AF's etc, such selflessness rarely seen.
This list is getting quite long !
Special mention of Shuffles, a crazy high level taru ranger who's helped me many times with my AF's
Stunner, part THF, part RNG. And by no means is he a blind elvaan :p (soz bud just kidding!}
Xchemical, once the same level PLD, now he's just rocketed through the levels.
I'll tie it up here, there really are many others that deserve a mention, but it would just too long (and pointless?) to list them all here, but the ones that stand out in my mind need a mention here.
Sorry to anybody i've missed but this thing is like an essay now that no one will bother reading.
A thankyou to all of you for putting up with my bad jokes, and showing off my legs constantly, {subligar} {samurai}! altho i know Ysabell loves my legs really and will miss then when i finally get to 54 and can wear some pants!
I'll end with this picture :p (she's gonna kill me)

aha not over yet! if you've read this far, thanks :)
and finally Happy Birthday to Reps :D I sent you lots of birthday presents to your inbox :p
edit: Forgot something very special! my bad
Reps' Mullet
This little fella deserves a mention, serving Reps through thick and thin, keeping him warm and as a source of jokes throughout our FF history. Great for his PLD serving emnity +5 but giving a few problems with RNG :p
oh and *bump*
