Here's how I look at it. Other people are free to disagree, as always.
Every FF game to my knowledge has fodder that can
- Dodge bullets on occasion (big one)
- Use Elemental Magic (big one)
- Use summons (not necessarily fodder but yeah)
- Some can do stuff like jump higher or run faster (SOLDIER or SeeD as a GROUP were not special snowflake but just some individuals in it even then, you see the wild shit some fodder do anyway)
Now I know XIV is not (other FF games) but, you've seen lalafell take on giant monsters and run a syndicate. You've seen a giant roe struggle to break a boulder in the MSQ that was half his size. And you've seen magic users dodge bullets from gunblade welding Garleans in the OP movie.
Your character is not fodder, but on consensus they are not every other characters hero. So everyone has a spectrum. Mine is probably more lenient than others.
So, why can't you? Long as you're not warping dimensions or dropping planets on people im perfectly ok with people using unique moves the public might consider op so long as it's not something like (You must be standing in this spot preaching to the moon at this time to happen)
For example, Aaron is a Rogue, he can't use any mudra, but I still use Hyouton because Aaron is ice affiliated so therefore, I see no issue. He also edges over his weapons with ice and can freeze things (to an extent) but just because I IC make it known Aaron can control ice doesn't mean I'm going to get in a fight just to purposefully flash freeze someone on a whim because why not?
A rule I DO like tho - If the roll (if you use rolling) is higher, the more fancy and powerful your attack or defense can be. The lower, the weaker etc.
