New to FFXIV but love RPing. One question...

[Shotan Lohtan]

Can I get a link or a list to Lalafell lore? I'm starting an RP on Mateus with my wife (we met in WoW 10 years ago) and I want to be sure I get everything just so. I'm running a dune but every bit of lore helps so long as it's not an indecipherable wall of text.

 

I'm also running a memorial character for my mom on Couerl (or however it's spelled) to learn the game. I figure I'll learn my hardest class (healer) first so I'll suck less at it and make her a house or apartment or something because she would have loved this game.

 

Look forward to (hopefully) RPing with some of you soon. You'll know me because I focus on believable and down-to-earth characters with proper psychological make-ups and plausible backstories. I know it's a JRPG but I want to suspend disbelief and the more realistic the by-play is, the easier it is to suspend disbelief. I know it's not everyone's cuppa but, hey, that's why there's so many different ways to play, right?

Hey there! 

 

There isn't quite a definitive list of [all] lore on any particular topic, but a good place to start is with Sounsyy's lore compilations. They're mostly spread between tumblr and the RPC (although RPC's were before our move to IPS which caused some formatting blips. Links to our archived old site are more common).

Beyond these though, it's far easier to ask direct questions! Nobody's gonna really make a huge fuss over some inaccuracies. THe Character Workshop forum is also a great way to ask questions that are tailored specifically to your character. (Backstory, can it be done questions, etc).

Awesome, thanks a lot. Once I get a better handle on playing the game, I'll probably make a thread over there with one of those questionairre/list things I love doing (is there a good one you guys use?) and, if everything goes over well, I'll start looking for small-group-or-individual RP because trying to weave through 50 conversations to find the one I'm involved in gives me migraines. And a guild, obviously.
