This quote interested me.
I understand that some individuals would find this to be a dillema. But since I never really got started in RP for FFXIV 1.0, and quit after a few months, I found a way to manuvear around it.
Basically having that happen when Ryanti was still young enough to be with his parents, and having that time zone involve the later end of Lorenthian's (Ryanti's dad) story, and part of Ryanti's backstory. I'm about 70% done with the events their family goes through.
Because of Lorenthian's retreat and Ryanti not going anywhere near that battlefield, both of them had to put up with the five years.
It actually fits in really nicely by present day. I have a solid backstory on why I would pick any city, which gives me OOC freedom to make the decision.
It's all just a matter of having that hard time and how your character goes about that hard time and figuring out what happens to them during those five years if your character was 'new'. Obviously they would of had lived before the event too so that's your chance to have some backstory as well. I used the excuse of Ryanti being young and whatnot so he wasn't 'around' in 1.0 as far as adventuring.
EDIT: Also, it should be noted lorewise that everyone who was teleported was a 'hero'. Or at least that's how they described it. The 'heroes' that fought. So if your character isn't exactly a brave soul XD, or a heroic warrior yet... well you have that dillema.
Quote:So then for those who weren't a part of 1.0 and would be starting fresh. How would they perceive the world from an rp aspect? Would that mean lore wise most new characters were left to deal with Bahamut [messing things] up and rebuild after he left?
