I haven't had much of a chance to RP with everyone here yet, and I'm still working on my wiki, but since I joined FFXIV back in February I did so with the intention to RP and with a very clear picture of what I wanted my character, Lillith to be.
Combat-wise, I play a Bard. In character, Lillith has, in fact, trained with the Godsbow though she left her training not even halfway through because she found him to be a very pathetic individual and did not wish to continue training under him. But I've seen people get very upset if someone is playing the job instead of the class. I don't see anywhere in the lore I've gone through that says there can be one and only one of a given job at a time.
However, I've seen people get into debates about playing the class vs the job. If anyone asks, Lillith will, begrudgingly, admit to having some training as a Bard. Does this mean I am going to be on the receiving end of scorn? And it's not just the Job VS Class I've seen issues with. I myself have personally experienced an issue In Character wise where I was told I shouldn't be playing a Miqo'te because Lillith doesn't keep to their values and conventions. Lillith was abandoned as a child and adopted, that is why she does not keep to those values but that did not seem to be a good enough answer.
So, my question is this. I would adore to continue on with my character and have a good time here, but is Lillith ultimately going to end up upsetting people more than being someone to have fun with? At the end of the day, I respect and love the lore of FFXIV but I also feel as if they are a lot of gray areas one can play into, especially in the Job vs Class debate.
