I'm new to FFXIV so nothing on here yet, but I think kidnapping stories hold a lot of potential.
In a previous game almost 10 years ago I played as a Human Bard who was kidnapped by Drow and taken to the Underdark, where his keepers were trying to understand the magicks he was able to draw forth with his music (Bardic magic was rare in this setting).
It originated as an OOC discussion where the myself and a few select members of the Drow community wanted to RP together, but it resulted in some of my most memorable experiences roleplaying there, and a Games Master who took the role of Lloth even started a lasting storyline of hunting my character down with Driders after he escaped.
I think if you're going to do a kidnapping arc, make sure it gives you potential to RP with multiple people you may not have met otherwise. I think it could get a little stale if you only get to speak with your one kidnapper.
