Again, I am particularly interested in the presence of White Mages in FFXIV roleplay, which I was told earlier in this thread and from other sources is a very taboo job considering the greatly political nature of the job and the exclusivity of the magic. Has Modern Vocation been considered for roleplay use at all? And if so, what is the general consensus from the community when it comes to using this as a means to have exclusive jobs easier to explain/accessible for normal characters?
Thank you for your time!
Edit: This thread probably belongs in FFXIV Discussion now, if somebody has a chance to move it!
I believe it basically falls into game mechanics, not lore itself.
That said, if you are truly wanting to play a White Mage for whatever reason, it's possible. Just tell a story that's convincing. Come up with a good story for how your character was chosen by the Padjal or the Elements (or got a hold of an Amdapori Soulstone) to be trained. And then play it.
Some people will be cool with it. Some people won't be. With most, it will depend on how convincing your story is, and how well you play it out.
