One thing I am taking away from this thread specifically right now, which I feel could be elaborated on a bit more:
- There is precedence for realm travel and thus, minus our lack of reasoning of how's and why's, it is a perfectly feasible element of a character concept.
*Beyond cliche's, sueisms, etc, why is this so frowned upon? I see a lot of people go "RP what you want" in general however here it seems this is one of the few things within realm of possibility that seems to have been labeled taboo.
*Can it be done tastefully? How much is too much and even then is this just such a stigma that it's really going to alienate one from the general community? There seems to be a lot of dislike of such concepts in general, and rather than execution, it seems a popular sentiment that the concept itself is distasteful more than anything. This is to say that the feeling I've gotten here is that no matter how well executed or handled the character is, peoples prejudgement is to avoid interaction or on an OOC level frown upon the use.
* All things fair, while there is no solid reasoning as to why certain events that solidfy multiple realms as a thing, it doesn't technically need to be explained. Where does our OOC/meta knowledge actually interfere with any given individuals immersion?
- Final Fantasy XIV is technically presented as a realm of possibility and wonders, I see a lot of people delving into realism as a reasoning (myself included a lot), however it seems that events surrounding the game, world, and story is about unprecedented and mold breaking events, circumstances, and sentiments.
* I've noted a lot of preference towards realism and conformity, avoidance of mold breaking, etc. How does this preside over in a world described as above?
* Wouldn't it seem more accurate to utilize the statement: Unless lore specifically states otherwise it could happen? Multiple occurrences, rareties, etc. I personally feel a lot of people may be restricting themselves based on what is established and detailed lore instead of what has precedence or is acceptable in the meta rather than the world itself. Perhaps this is a branch in another topic direction.
