I'm prolly just using the word wrong.Â
That's my big issue with 1.0-based content RP. Not everyone went and rewatched other's play through 1.0 (and if it sounds like I have no life that I did....I had a lot of free time while I was searching for a job >>)
You're not wrong, 1.0 was laughably broken. The game simply didn't work. That aside, though, why should the people who did stick it out be forced to change their canon backstories or lore because other people didn't like it? It's not as if Square came in and said "This never happened" or anything. The lore panel that commented on it basically agreed that the lore and the mechanics don't mesh, but the lore was still valid. I think. SOUNSYY DO THE THING YOU DO.
If you didn't play 1.0, and you come across someone RPing with 1.0 abilities, is that really so horrible? Warren's backstory has him affiliated with the Coliseum in the background, should I change that because the GLD guild doesn't do that anymore? It's one thing where, say, White Mage got forcibly addressed, but the THM changes aren't nearly as bad. Further, they don't disprove that people don't sacrifice bits of themselves for power, or that it isn't a feasible change. There's so many gaps and spaces in what we're shown, what was shown, and what actually got changed or swapped out.
People are going to RP what they RP, and someone using the Umbral/Astral spells isn't a bad thing. No less than people mix-and-matching class powers to do whatever they want.
