Howdy!
I'm newish to FF14, but not Final Fantasy or Roleplay itself. So, learning lore, and mechanics and, largely, passing time while working, I've been listening to podcasts. One of them is Musecast XIV with Remix Sakura and Emi. It's fun, and goofy, and I like their energy but one thing they've talked of and actually do on their server, is RP as the NPC Nanamo and the Admiral Merlwyb, along with their own creations.
So, this did kind of take me aback a bit in surprise. As long as I've been RPing in MMO's, from EQ1, to SWG, or MxO or EQ2 and pretty much everything, RPing as a main character was always sort of taboo.Â
Now, let me say here, I don't care myself if they do and the people around them accept it, kudos to them. If it doesn't jive, I just don't have to RP with such a thing.
My question really comes from not knowing the RP community of FF14 very well yet. Is this something that is more widely excepted here than any where else I've RPed? What gives one player the "right" (I don't know a better word, privilege maybe?) to play such important things over another? Or if someone else decided too play them as well?
I love the girls podcast and they are a lot of fun as are many others. Love the RP in FF14 and see myself staying for a good while. I'm mostly just curious and wonder what others take on this is.
Cheers!
