Catch 22, don't you think?
I didn't say you can't RP as the savior. You can RP as the savior. Â It is not against lore. Â It's just going to be widely seen as obnoxious. Â You probably see RPing as WHM the same way. Â That's fine, but the game actually gives you a lore reason as to how you, the player, have become a WHM. My original response to you was explaining that as opposed to being WHM or the Savior of Eorzea, we players have no lore for being a Padjal. Â So regardless of our views on any of these matters (and whether you agree that these story elements should count as lore backing for players or not) there -is- a distinction there.

I mean when it comes down to RP fighting, a gladiator and paladin still both use a sword and shield, a lancer and dragoon still both use a lance, a conjurer and white mage still can both heal, etc. I just think people want the super powerful title and the abilities that come along with it, even though they probably will not often use them, and I honestly don't understand why.ÂÂ
Mm, I find it a little strange that people would question why anyone wants to be these jobs or not. Â Some of us have been longtime fans of the FF series. I remember first playing as a Dragoon back when I was kid in Japan living with my dad in the military. Â FF has been with me for a long time and many jobs are iconic staples of the series. WHM is the same, and in many games White Magic has been something utilized by jobs that are not specifically White Mages. Â It is very much sentimental and as with all things will matter more to some than it does to others. Â Do many people really care about "RP Fighting"?
