However the way I see it is that there's only a minority that is really, really powerful. (You know, guys like Loixouis for example)
I'd say the majority of the population in FFXIV is relatively normal compared to the really powerful beings. Yes, some of them can use magic. Yes, some of them have strength that would exceed that of a normal human. But it's not to a degree where everyone walks around as some sort of Superman.
So I'd say it's fantasy, comparable to LOTR.
Done in one. There's always going to be the sort of cartoonish side-story stuff like Hildebrand and the like, but it's practically impossible to take that seriously. German suplexes exploding are clearly meant for comedy purposes, not to be an actual thing that happens canonically.
Of course, there are people that'll argue over how the game featured it so it was canon by proxy.
Game's fantasy. Lore's fantasy-bordering-technology like pretty much every other "classic" FF game. Super modes and Chosen Ones need not apply; Game's got plenty in the main cast as it is.
Yup I agree. If you watch the opening cutscene, I view most RPers as the Grand Company grunts getting blasted by magitechs and such.
Nothing wrong with playing a warrior of light, but I sort of view Natalie as an NPC. All those heroics and flashy things are like mythical to her.
