Another thing that makes me scratch my head: people who give spellcasters free pass to do anything because magic, but demand that warrior types be limited by real world physics.
I play all of Imogene's paladin abilities as IC - all of those flashing lights accompanying high level sword techniques, the ability to get stomped on by a huge dragon and survive, and such. This is how the game envisions a high level character, and I stick to it. Also, very little of that is magic - most of it is because powerful heroes are simply that good. I don't think Raubahn's show of power is him using aether, either - at least not in the way mages or monks do. Chalking up all physics-breaking abilities as magic is a very western approach, that ignores the fact that this is a Japanese game - and in Japanese stories, characters whose skill lets them perform supernaturally amazing feats, not because of magic but because they're just that good, are very common.
If anyone wants to play a more mundane, realistic character, I am perfectly okay with this. Just don't demand that others do so as well.
I didn't surprise me at all when Rabaughn kicked a pillar like a soccer ball. I've seen a spiky blonde haired human with blue eyes and carrying a giant sword cut concrete like it was butter. What's so surprising about seeing a guy twice his size kicking a stone pillar?
It's Final fantasy, not Final Reality. Imagination is key! But try to be considerate.
The only people that godmode are those that also go around looking for fights 24/7 to prove how badass they are.
Aaron insanely fast and accurate to the point he can throw swords (not daggers) like darts. Hes done it so many times I think it's become his signature move lol.
But he despises fighting. So not many people are getting a blade hurled at them. Even if by some chance they wanted to.
