21. I gather dieing in game doesn't mean your character actually dies, but rather is knocked out or wounded. However, let's say a party was RPing in a dungeon and everyone died. Would that still mean the whole group was knocked out/wounded, or would you RP that the group retreated and it's the individuals' decision to say if they were wounded or not?
Different RPers are going to handle this differently. If there's a serious RP going on and there needs to be some continuity to it, everyone might reassemble and pretend the wipe never took place. Otherwise, perhaps not. Dying vs. KO is another one of those hot topics that no two RPers will have the exact same viewpoint on.
22. What's your favorite FFXIV monster? When a mob aggros is that taken into account in RP? Such as if a group was discussing a plan and was camped out somewhere when all of a sudden something comes waltzing in and attacks someone. Would that be RPed as an unexpected ambush, or would the group kill it and ignore that it happened?
Mandragora!! This is going to vary widely depending on who you're RPing with and their preferences/style. Not everyone will roll with random ocurrances like that, and many will treat the intrusion as something that didn't happen. But this all depends on the exact situation and the people with whom you're playing. To use an example, we'd sometimes have some mobs spawn in the middle of RP and someone would use a job-ability but just say quickly OOC first, "not doing this ICly" - everyone's going to handle this differently though.
