As my other thread about "What kind of Roleplayer are you", I've noticed Coatleque's mention about anime and I figured I'd like to hear people's opinion about this thread on
The other thread will keep going to understand player's values and behaviors, while this thread is going to mostly focus on how we see FF14 as, as if we prefer to RP realistically, or view it as fantasy in Lord of the Rings/medieval fantasy or anime/video game type - where we see ourselves to have considerable powers that seem ridiculous for anyone to have or have unimaginable strengths or immunity to everything.
Now, not all animes/mangas and video games have some kind of unimaginable powers because there are those characters that are main protagonists and they just never had any powers and see that characters get really messed up. It's usually the opponents that have ridiculous powers and they have to figure out how to defeat it.Â
Of course, we surely don't want people to use Omnislash whatevertheversionitmaybe or Meteor or Final Heaven. ...or even Super Saiyan even if there is such abilities in later expansion - or even someone turning into green particles and quantizing by teleporting everywhere and use a giant beam sword to cut down entire Ul'dah. What can we accept to be similar to anime style and what can we not accept?
Do you view Final Fantasy XIV as something closer to reality to fantasy? Or fantasy to animated?Â
Despite that the game is indeed 3D-cel shaped game with extraordinary creatures, and powers like limit breaks and spells given to players with unknown plots that cannot happen in reality, how do you see it? Does this affect your RP experience?
