I have to say when I first started looking at FFXIV to RP, one of my big concerns was actually that I might be surrounded by people who were RP'ing as super powerful experts in every single class they touched.Â
Thankfully, here at least, I've seen that by and large that isn't the case.Â
As for myself, Zarek will be a hand to hand fighter first, everything else will be secondary. I plan to likely take a little lancer (staff fighting) and maybe a small bit of archer (which he'd have to learn). Even lower than that will be magic because the character is a melee combatant more than anything (though who knows, RP may change that!). It all boils down to finding a way to a) create the character you envision then b) figuring out how to reasonably explain (and if one wants to go the extra mile - align it with general roleplay standards). That's just my approach though.
After all, if a character is amazing at every single thing they touch, where's the fun in interacting with them? Where's the struggle and why would they need anyone else?
