Incredible post by Sounsyy, thank you.
To Naunet's post of "fuck the lore"...well, I agree with the classes, but the jobs I respectfully disagree. To compare, the very word 'samurai' is associated with the nation of Japan in the real world. There's no such thing as a samurai of France or a samurai of the Congo. Similarly, in FFXIV, the words 'paladin' and 'dragoon' are associated with the nations of Ul'dah and Ishgard respectively, despite whatever real-life origins these words have (words come from somewhere after all). IMO, claiming to be a paladin and not acknowledging the lore behind it is very similar to someone claiming to be an Imam in service to the Church of England.
Ofc, people can RP what they want, true, but I'd expect I'll be giving these people a hard time in-character. There are bigger concerns than bothering someone and antagonizing people OOC over such things
