A related question is if you wear armor an clothes that IC should be beyond your classes' skill level (Like wearing the Coil or CT gear, or any PvP gear despite your character's skill in the respective job being more around "Level 30" at best, more for dabblerers), and if so, how would you justify it IC, and if not, is it becuase it would be too "Special Snowflake" and mary suish to stick out from the subligars, cowls and non-metallic looking dyed armor that the NPCs of the area wear given the relevant skill level?
I assume that in those cases having more than 1 of the Zodiac Weapons, Anima Weapons and a complete set of AF gears are out of the question since they are supposed to be tied to "Job Mastery" (Or in the Anima's case being something of a prototype) and having more than one or two classes with a combination of any of those is pushing suspension of disbelief
I know it's rather out there and odd, but I actually RP Lami as a Sage (FFIII flavor); In fact to match that, ICly she has a Sage job crystal (which I dunno what it looks like yet). As such, she knows a lot of magic, and her mage/ caster/ healer outfits are consistent. (only a colour change to denote offensive versus succor). She's in the Halonic Exorcist and Halonic Healer robes/ hats.
Which pretty much means ICly and OOCly, she knows literally NOTHING of physical combat and is physically a defenseless flower. And that has OOCly affected her progression. I have NO physical attacker classes leveled (aside from the ones needed for Black Mage, and Ninja, but I tend to ignore the Archer secondary) Aside from Ninja, which admittedly, is completely noncanon. I just grabbed it because it looked neat.
Can she cast some of the powerful Black Magics or White Magics? Yes, but like, ICly, it's not NEARLY as effective (i.e. safe to use) as someone who is ICly specialized in either specific fields.Â
Say... Flare or Freeze for example. A Black Mage can ICly cast and cause practically burning hellfire or subzero deathzones or whatever. Lami is able to ICly cast those, but it's far more inefficient. The ancient magicks (Flare, Freeze, etcetera) literally damage her body a bit due to such inefficient use and often after a few days, she feels an 'afterblast' that makes her violently ill and bedridden for a while, maybe a week or two..
And because of all of this, ICly, she can NEVER own an Anima or Ultima weaponÂ
Summoning is something I've still yet to explain.
