Well, It's not really confusion on specific, singular things but rather a more broad confusion about how a character would or should act or behave in the world itself and in certain situations. For example, from a random idea i had during character brainstorming that lead to a focal point on my character is the fact that, although he knows magic, he has no grasp of healing magic. In fact, he is so bad at it that if he tries to heal, it can violently backfire. Unfortunately i do not know if this is even possible within the lore nor could i find any information on, say, how magic worked as a whole to try and work out a proper excuse.

Thanks for the quick replies. I've already spent the majority of yesterday and today hitting the forums. Watched all of I Remember, read and watched the 1.0 story arc and spent a fair bit browsing the Wikis. There is still a lot I'm confused on. I managed to work through 99/100 of the character questions i found on in the RP section. That took a bit of time but i enjoyed it.

Greetings people of RPC, I come in peace. For the time being, my name is Exe and i'm a 23 year old man from Ohio. A couple days ago one of my friends was talking about her character or some RP or something along those lines in this game(I can't remember what started the conversation). I started asking some questions and now here I am, waiting for open beta with bated breath. I've been aware of this game for quite some time, (Since that awesome cinematic that I've probably watched 50 times since it came out.) but always kept my distance because I was and still am burnt out on the current MMO mechanics of hotbars, casting orders and various other forms of button mashing gameplay. (Years of raiding as a conj in EQ2 can do that to a person) Through a fair bit of research, reading and watching a very compelling series of videos simply titled I Remember, i decided to put a bit of thought into the game and have already started building the structure for my main character, a Summoner named Kaed. (I hope the class is a solid, fun pet class like it looks) I haven't tried my hand at ingame RP since TOR, which after several months of flailing around left me with a bad taste in my mouth and a bit of an aversion to MMO RP. (It just didn't go well). So here I am, willing to give it another shot with a game that looks like it could be fun providing the gameplay mechanics don't turn me away at the starting gate. (I'm only a medium RPer, i like to play end game pve and give my hand at crafting as well) I read about the mentor system but i'm not really sure what it does, but i believe i could use the help of someone who knows whats going to get me on my feet. I have not played any of the FF MMOs and really haven't touched a FF game since X on the PS2 (Aside from a bit of III on my android) So yeah, that's about it. Nice meeting whoever replies and i'll be lurking around the forums.

Thanks! That cleared that up quite well.

I, having never played 1.x or any of the betas would like to know about this as well. I've been cramming as much information as i can so i can create my character (Who, although he will be 2.x, was time skipped.) I'd like to know how much he will remember. Does being time skipped leave you with all of your memories of that day or are we also not able to remember who else was there? Also, for those time skipped, do they reappear directly at the beginning of ARR or have they been in the world for a period of time? (Hours, Days, Weeks?) These are the two primary bits of non class related information i'm still unsure about.
