Wow, thanks for the responses, everyone!
Yeah, it's a tricky tightrope to balance upon--but I'm going to have Jensen be my super-powered engame PvE character, and Aera be the RP character--and maybe I'll slowly end up playing one or the other more often. It depends on what the circumstance is.
My headcanon is that Jensen is the Warrior of Light--and Aera is just a skillful wanderer, living in Eorzea. In doing that, it helps me separate the MSQ from RP'ing, which is apparently what many are expected to do in MMORPGs.
My ideal situation would have Jensen be for getting to the endgame, doing serious content--or just taking a day to dungeon, interact with a FC, and just "Play" the game.Â
Aera is a more storytelling approach--with some of Jensen's focus, but moreso on building a character and growing immersed in the world and the other players/characters who inhabit it. Obviously I intend on dungeoning and running instances with both, but it's too early to tell who will become my primary character, and what will become of the other character.
Seems like having just *one* alt as opposed to several like a lot of folks on here will definitely be an easier balancing act, especially for an RP newcomer like myself.
At the end of the day--I still gotta work towards making Aera a DRK.Â
