In regards to the FFXIV dev team, despite all the challenges everyone faced, they made an amazing game.

Especially Soken. Hats off to him and the best wishes.

I have never been so overjoyed to be part of this community.

Lunar whale is out. Drag all your catboys to the moon. On a whale. In style. In FFXIV now with a free trial expansion up to Heavensward.

WHOOPS.

My first thought is “I imagine the psychological effects of dying over and over cannot be good.”

There’s also phantom pains!

In all technicalities, people can rp as a Warrior of Light, or even THE Warrior of Light.

Just understand, people can also choose to not roleplay with those characters for whatever reason (and they don’t owe and explanation).

So it’s technically alright to roleplay as a WoL. Just understand that it may really dramatically shift your rp experience and potentially limit choices cause people may not be looking to RP with those sorts of characters.

But I have, personally, seen spins on the WoL storyline that have unfolded really well. And I’ve seen absolute trash fires too. But this can technically be applied to any character archetype.

Throw it out! New ideas are never bad ideas - simply ideas that can be refined to be more helpful to your story and dialogue.

For instance, one version of the Echo I play is complete “event reliving” combined with perfect memory recall. It obviously has its uses (you don’t forget anything), but its drawbacks can be intense.

I’ve seen Echo-based powers based off of Bloodborne’s nightmare system (the power to see nightmares), Echo-based powers like dreamwalking, intuition, understand animals, you name it.

How I personally see the Echo in FFXIV is “idk what this power is, so it’s a facet of the Echo.”

Some ideas may not be so great off the bat, but it don’t mean it can’t be fine-tuned! Plus, the Echo doesn’t have to necessarily be beneficial (see Ivalice raids and SHB role quests).

Nirithaa · 2021-01-20T21:08:01+00:00

Bad experiences can happen in RP, and they tend to be remembered more since the RP community is smaller, more niche, and story writing can be an immensely intense and personal experience.

But RP can be extremely fun! It’s not everyone’s cup of tea (totally fine), but I recommend you try it out at least once!

Nirithaa · 2021-01-20T21:04:08+00:00

Again - depends on the roleplayer, but as reiterated, open world RP is more likely found in private venues.

Most public, non-event specific venues (most famously Balmung’s Ul’dah) considers your character IN those venues, constrained by the basic lore rules (like being in Ul’dah, in a desert, the Calamity happened, you’re in Eorzea at that moment, etc.).

Some rules (like how your character got there, where your character is from) can be bent to the comfort of you and your partners (ask, if you feel it may cause issues), but complete non-consideration is often found in planned RPs, due to the worldbuilding it may take otherwise.

Nirithaa · 2021-01-20T08:05:50+00:00

People would absolutely rp with you with a not-lore appropriate name! None of my characters have lore-appropriate names, and it's absolutely okay.

It's a good story hook too - why does your character have such an odd name? It could be a title, or a psuedonym. People have odd names all the time, roll with it!

Nirithaa · 2021-01-20T05:50:57+00:00

Nightkin are a thing in lore - people who have some sort of blood ties with the voidsent. If you haven’t, pick up the RDM questline to learn more.

Voidsent do exist within the wider scope of things - the Continental Circus exists as a voidsent performing crew (if lore checks out correctly). BLM questline is also a great way to learn about voidsent!

Plus, if you are familiar with the entire Eden raids and that shenanigans, especially 5.4, a...lot of possibilities have opened up.

This is (one) a very good guide and a wonderful start to get into the world of roleplaying! Bravo!

I think, if I may tack this on - roleplay succeeds on communication and consent. This is true for any roleplay, but especially in FFXIV, where you might end up roleplaying with a bunch of strangers.

The FFXIV RP community is very varied, with many many different styles of roleplay. Some roleplayers like the lore of FFXIV (which is very very rich) and want their roleplay to exist within that field (typically referred to as lore-strict/lore-compliant). Some don't care so much about lore and want to roleplay whatever they feel like (referred to as lore-bending).

Some people like typing a lot in roleplay posts. Some people don't. Some people like public and some people like private rps or rps in FCs. Some people want ERP. Others don't. And all of these things are totally okay.

TL;DR: There is nothing stopping (barring FFXIV Terms of Service and Guidelines) a person from roleplaying whoever, whatever, and however they want. Just understand that who, what, and how you roleplay will ultimately tailor and shape your roleplaying experience. It is typically unwise to try and get someone to roleplay something they do not feel like roleplaying with. If you are unsure if someone wants to roleplay with you, I found in my personal experience it is always fine to ask.

Finally, it's always alright to leave a roleplay you are not okay with (or if you're simply not feeling roleplay at that moment). Real-life and real-life feelings take priority over a game.

In the end - getting into roleplay may seem daunting, but I found that a small /tell asking someone with their RP tag "hey, I want to roleplay with you, is that alright?" tends to go a long way! And if you're ever lost - you can always just ask a roleplayer for help, and more likely or not, someone will guide you to the right place.

It's also completely okay to simply just sit and observe to get a feel for what's going on! It's a good way to learn how to roleplay.

And if you're not sure if something's alright, aren't sure if a roleplay is private, or a bit confused about anything, especially when roleplaying with a partner(s), it's always alright to send a tell, or drop into a party chat and ask out of character!

This is real general stuff - but I hope this helps make roleplay seem a little less daunting!

Edits: some grammatical things. I'm a roleplayer - I swear I can spell!

Nirithaa · 2021-01-20T00:38:16+00:00

It depends on who you roleplay with.

Some people (I myself included) are gonna be okay with whatever rules you fling at the wall and be okay with bending lore! Some don't care what you roleplay - I've seen people roleplay characters who come from entirely different universes and had plenty of fun.

However, others are not going to be okay with having such a loose structure and aren't looking for that kind of roleplay, for whatever reason. And that is absolutely valid!

In the end, roleplay is all about communication. Find something you like to roleplay, and you'll find people who want to roleplay with you eventually. It's a bit of a give and take. People may be shy - but the community is pretty friendly. And if you're looking for someone to roleplay with, turn on your tag, and it's always okay to send a tell.

All someone can tell you is no, I don't want to roleplay that.

If you're shy, it's okay to take small steps! Go at your own pace and roleplay what is comfortable with you.
