That's why I didn't even require real gil transactions. Granted, the event may seem all over the place for some (then again, Chiyo isn't always professional, lol) but the whole point was to invite some rp opportunities. Which I felt some people here needed, as well as make new friends. I didn't really mean to sound pessimistic, but I feel as though I should spread awareness for my fellow Gilgas out there.
I will admit though, I haven't been faithful to some of the lore as of late (nevermind my character's name), but some of the stuff it kinda hard to follow as it isn't terribly well written at times... >.>
I think the event was a success! Â The important thing is that players connect and that was definitely achieved. Â I agree with your sentiments about Gilgamesh, but it's clear there is a willing crowd of people who want to get involved.
You're right about the lore, there is minimal explanation of culture and customs for Eorzea in the game itself. Â Most of it has to be hunted down in the wiki or online, but it's there! Â
Whenever I come across unusual named characters, I'm more compelled to find out their story. Â For example, Framboise. Â Was she adopted by wildwood elezen and raised in Gridania? Â Who knows? That's part of the fun of roleplaying, other people add to your experience and help shape your stories. Â It's always possible to evolve or adapt character concept and flesh them out as you go.
