Thread Closed
My concern with threads such as this one is that people make them asking for feedback - usually knowing all too well that what they're doing is controversial - and then they seem more than willing to go ahead with it anyway even if they do receive a lot of criticism (constructive or otherwise) towards the idea in question.
Obviously you can do whatever you want...but surely it'd be far, far better to just create a character that fits in with the setting rather than expecting everybody your character interacts with to bend over backwards to accommodate an idea that, let's be frank: takes quite a bit of leaping to justify and make plausible?
There's plenty of other settings I like within the Final Fantasy universe and outside of it. I just respect FFXIV enough to not go '...well -MY- character is from Azeroth/Vanadiel'.Â
In short? If you're going to do something highly controversial, go ahead - but please cease with branding people 'elitist' or 'mean' just because they value the setting enough to not find extreme stretches of the imagination implausible.
