I'm sure you can see why such an original character bristles with people trying to tell stories within the lore, then. Making up classes and home towns and cultures doesn't break the lore, not exactly, but if I make a character dual-wielding machine guns who comes from Eagleland and handwave it away as "Oh, it's far, you've probably never heard of it" it's going to raise some eyebrows.
Actually, it'll lead to people just ignoring me and refusing to RP.
Considering that I honestly have not RPed with you or a lot of people that are really strict regarding what's only given in the game - I just try to limit myself to hang out with those who likes partial lore benders to encourage players who enjoy the game.
But dual-wielding machine guns would be a bit too extent for me. The only thing I did was no more than just simple regular Edo-era style that is considered fully undeveloped/modernized like Garleans and Eorzeans do.
I have no intention to make something crazy. But I do love Nobunaga's Ambition and Romance of Three Kingdoms to make the story interesting as that (Not Samurai Warriors/Dynasty Warriors style - the REAL one).
Again, I don't disagree with you. Which is why sometimes original character in a pre-made content with given lore and rules have restrictions for players. And I dont mean it as it's a bad thing.
