Ho-boy.
Well, being that I am relatively new to FFXIV, but been RPing for over 15 years, my favorite RP experience is not from this game. Â And there are so many... hmm.
Well I'll list my very first truly emotionally charged game with my first D&D character, it certainly ranks up there. Â She was a selfish gypsy mage who had fallen in love with a selfless paladin. Â He of course, charging into battle to save innocents against a foe he could not win against, died (friggin' paladins). Â His body was hung up on a stake as a cruel display of the tribal leader's power.
This sight was too much for my character to bear. Â Her love had influenced her to be good and do good, but with his death and the grisly display, she lost it. Â She fireballed the entire camp again and again in trying to kill the leader, but caught everyone else there as well, women and children alike. Â She killed them all.
The paladin was returned to life by the grace of his god, but when he discovered what she had done, he was horrified and turned her away. Â And seeing it through his eyes, she felt ashamed too. Â She returned to the burned remnants of where the camp once stood, and wept there alone.
Now I have not had such emotionally charged scenes in FFXIV. Â At least, not yet. Â I've only known this game and Roen in it for a few months, and I like for things to develop organically. Â There have been some really great scenes in between characters, ranging from touching, to somber, to just plain creepy. I've enjoyed them all.
