Close minded but I've welcomed every single opinion. Even if it didn't agree with my own. I have been civil and read everyone ones Opinion, and didn't like Tancred's first post because it was short, and didn't offer insight his second was an opinion on not liking "from another world" aspect. He didn't come at me with credible difficulties, or supportive fact based reasoning as to why it's an ill advised recommendation. It was simply "I just don't like it. So it's ridiculous." His Superman comment is merely a backpedaling statement. Cause clearly if I got the "Â ol' thumbs up" as you claim Tancred we wouldn't need a debate on right or wrong good idea or bad. I'd simply be.... "Right on go for it."
Obviously you can do whatever you want...but surely it'd be far, far better to just create a character that fits in with the setting rather than expecting everybody your character interacts with to bend over backwards to accommodate an idea that, let's be frank: takes quite a bit of leaping to justify and make plausible?
There's plenty of other settings I like within the Final Fantasy universe and outside of it. I just respect FFXIV enough to not go '...well -MY- character is from Azeroth/Vanadiel'.Â
In short? If you're going to do something highly controversial, go ahead - but please cease with branding people 'elitist' or 'mean' just because they value the setting enough to not find extreme stretches of the imagination implausible.
