First, how many of you guys play WoL? Also, how would you guys (the community, not just WoL players) feel about someone roleplaying a WoL even if they didn't technically play 1.0?
I did not play 1.0 but two of my characters were at the battle. A Warrior of Light isn't anything SUPER rare as that any of the folks (mainly adventurers since the GCs pulled their people out but could be just folks that are like cooks or peasants that went to fight) have the tattoo.
Second, where the heck is Cartneau? Also, which of the 3 main cities is farthest away from it/closest to it/took the most or least damage?
In Mor Dhona, which is directly north of Thanalan; west of the Shroud, south of Coerthas.
Third, how long does the community as a whole feel it would take to get from a major hub city to another without special means of transportation. Lets say the only method they had was one chocobo.
That's a little subjective. Eorzea is supposed to be massive and each nation, especially Ul'Dah, has massive populations... but due to hardware/software limitations and that sort, each nation looks lively, but much is lost in translation. I'm sure someone else can give a better explaination. I just play it by ear for the moment.
Fourth, how expensive do you think a chocobo would be? Would it be akin to buying a car in our world? Or would it be plausible that a breeder may give a deal to someone based on a variety of reasons? And are there any naming conventions for chocobos?
If you are part of a GC you could argue your bird is a Company Chocobo... otherwise I'm not sure.
Fifth, because we can (in-game) be any class or wear any armor, how do you guys feel about a character's fighting style being a mix of classes? For instance, a paladin who also has skills with a lance, or a puglist/monk who can use basic healing magics, ect, ect?
I'm a firm believer that just because you're in a mage robe doesn't mean your fists don't work (granted your IC character is capable). Example, if JJ wears a robe he's surely as hell not about to cast Blizzardagaza XXII32, but merely just wear a robe!
