Consider how many people show up at the Grindstone every week, I'm going with quite a few.
I've yet to attend due to my job giving me limited random time.
ANYWAYS.
So the problem with RPing the "one hero" or a job that makes it impossible to be that job unless you are the "one" is obnoxiously selfish and really lazy. If you followed the story at all at the end, there were massive-off-screen battles at other Castrums. Just because you RP'd the main story doesn't mean you have to be the one to poke the final bosses. Whenever my group gets up that point, no way in hell we're going to be the ones that did it. There's so many other battles my character could be badassing at as well.
As for RPing a job like WHM or whatnot, why can't you just be a really strong CNJ? Hell, two of my characters are MNKs straight out of Ala Mhigo during the Garlean's big ol' genocide (second one in five years for them) and JJ's just a dude that's fought his entire life to be free - no guild affiliation or nothing. It's kind of narrow to think just because a character is a great healer or really badass with a lance automatically makes them one thing. I recall that the lancers of Ala Mhigo were the cream of the crop, giving Ishgardian lancers/dragoons a run for their gil.
All that being said, I have actually RP'd with somone that says they're a dark white mage. OOCly I thought it to be hoaky but ICly, John takes things for face value. He'd rather not piss off someone he has no intentions of fighting on the off chance that they're some supreme being... he wasn't wearing the right eyepatch for the occasion!
In the end, there's LS/FC out there that cater to various amounts of lorebending. There's NEVER going to be a community-wide agreement of this... just like of so many other things. When these varying-of-opinion RPers cross paths, just play nice with each other, eh?
