I mean, yes, they're presented as nigh insurmountable forces of nature, but it's established that it can, and HAS, happened in the past, oft repeatedly. My biggest question is if you're going to allow gameplay things like the egis as proof that a PC can defeat them, why can't someone say that because the game's main story said they solo'd Ifrit, they did? The problem with drawing the line in the middle is that everyone has a different idea of exactly what the middle is, especially once you start mingling gameplay concepts with conceptual and lore concepts.I generally don't let gameplay stuff conflict my RP until say a summon ICly summons the ifrit-egi. I think going by anything from the storyline is crossing the borderline for me.. Cause that is the hero of light's storyline..
I tend to not take from the Main Hero of Light's storyline either. From what I understand, very few people intend to. Even C'io's story of how she defeated Ifrit is very, very different.
