Hello all,
I am currently looking for a decent MMO to play. However, I'm way more interested in the roleplaying aspect of MMOs. I have a few questions regarding the RP community of this game, and was hoping some of them could be answered. I've tried looking for answers on the forum and on other sources of material, but none ask the 'right questions'. Normally, I'd whisper someone for help in game, but I am unable to /tell in free mode. I'm sorry if you get asked these multiple times a week, but I just really want to be informed before I drop $60 on a game. I hope that's understandable.
Server Selection
To begin, my first question revolves around server choice. I've learned that there is a lot of controversy around the unofficial RP server, Balsomething, being hardlocked. Mateus is suggested as a secondary, but that one is currently locked, too. How do I make sure that I pick the right server? It would be very unfortunate to pick...say Faerie, and learn that the RP community is dying/dead there, and I'm stuck on a dead server. What's the dealio on that?
Character Customization
I wasn't able to see a store or some way of looking at outfits. How many different choices of attire are there? I RP'd in SWTOR, and they have sooooooo many clothing options, whereas BDO has bupkis in comparison. Where does FF fall? Can I make something that looks unique, or are there 4 overused outfits that I have to choose from?
Lore
I've never played a Final Fantasy game. I know who Cloud is and I know what a chocobo is. I think I saw the CGI movie a long time ago? I know 7 is known as the best. How screwed am I for RP? Obviously, I'd learn as quick as possible what the basics are, but is his universe very unique in the way it is created?
The game in general seems super cool. I wish it was cheaper. I might wait for the Christmas Steam Sale and see if it goes down a bit. Hopefully this isn't too annoying to y'all. I feel like I have so many more questions, but these are all I can think of for now.
