what would you do if stuck in FF14?

Flying on a dragon mount! Everything else can wait.

Build a chocobo army.

Cry because my butt would be gone :(

Probably be stoked and go study magic! Please let this happen!

Retire with Hina (wife) and Cat (son) to our house in the Mist and spend the rest of the time sunning myself on the beach and/or fishing.

If I had to participate in some form of adventurer action, I'll stick to PLD and become very conservative about how I 'play' - especially if it's an SAO scenario. If it's a log Horizon scenario then I will merge my FC with the Crescent Moon Alliance - Marielle and I share similar points of view - and stay away from the front lines and Shiroe as much as possible.

Finally, I will purchase many mirrors for my home, Kos is awesome. ;)

Tepe would cut your face. The brothel mafia is here.

nooo not my face! O=

Hmm, well I guess...

Go to Forgotten Springs for obvious reasons and live happily for the rest of my days.
Study Allagan technology and history; collect it, too - and explore Allagan ruins.
Distance myself from the Scion idiots, except Y'shtola, Krile and Urianger.
Refurbish Dun Scaith into the perfect Victorian-esque location it seems it would've been; then open it for people to live and so on - oh, and make it illegal for Lala's to be there.

Head straight to Ishgard and confess my feelings to Ser Aymeric; if he accepts my feelings, we'll get married and I bear his children.

Other than that, I would pick up the bow and begin practicing on becoming the best BRD in Eorzea; I'll be able to defend myself if I ever to run into danger. Moreover, I would be traveling a lot, singing in taverns about my adventures or other tales of Eorzea for gil. That's how I picture it :)

Sniff the chocobo (because I am kinda curious how they smell..)

Since this will happen on an alt character which will not have done certain parts of the HW story, I will so change the future and after that enjoy my time with Haurchefant (<3)

Give Alphinaud a sisterly hug for everything we went through together.

Keeping it truly realistic: Dieing after some minutes by meeting a beetle. >_> Because I would probably suck at being a fighter.

Examine my new equipment. Then examine my new weapons and armor

Since my char is a summoner... I would immediately summon a legion of carbuncles. Learn how to make them look like cats and not carbuncles. Live with my aether cats.
Fly all around on my birds. Inspect my new tall, male body and long ears. Walk around as a very tall person for the first time in my life. Tell all the NPCs I hate like Thancred that I hate them.

Finally, drink and party with the Moogles until I die of Kupo nut poisoning.

I would probably stare at myself in a mirror for a really long time first thing. My main Job is SMN, so I would probably enjoy the company of a carbuncle, I've always wanted to know what a carbuncle feels like. I would actually probably try to get a job at the Arcanist's guild. Irl I'm an administrator, so pushing paperwork and enforcing the rules is kind of my schtick. I would probably take up Botany too since I really like plants. But I would certainly not be out adventuring. No thank you.

I'd be a healer/mecenary, making a living till someone fix this .hack predicament. Oh....and probably have Alphanadd assassinated.....just because. Then defile every document bout Hydalyn and write "Giant self rightous b**** on every page". Yeeep. thats just about it.

You didn't mention any PvP btw. That would make the world more exciting but normaly ffxiv players are somewhat pansies when it comes to it so everyone would basically be singing songs around campfires and everything is sprinkles and sunshine....It'd be hell....

touch fluffy tail and maybe sleep for a few hundred years

I would lament in my decision of creating a male character.

I would quit being a WoL and just relax somewhere nice.

Ever since watching Log Horizon and SaO I can't play a game (especially an MMO) without thinking "Who/what would I want to be if I got pulled into the game?". I designed this current character with that in mind so I'd stay the same old Duskwight Dragoon that I play now. The hard part would be choosing a single crafting/gathering class. It would probably have to go with Botanist and Carpenter since I make my home in the Shroud.

I'd probably spend the first few days/weeks with my FC trying to figure out what the hell is going on and how to actually make it/live in the world. Other than doing the odd dungeon and quests here and there to help my wife level I'd probably spend the majority of my time trying to build a community of adventurers in the Shroud to help support each other in this strange land. In my free time I'd hang out with the FC, relax at home, do some woodworking to make a little extra pocket money, and live up to the obligations of an officer in the Twin Adders.

I'd put all my gil I have on me into a bank. Then retire to Costa Del Sol.

Would this be before or after Stormblood? If before, ninja all the things. If after, samurai all the things.

I guess I'd still have the same secret criminal organization that my retainers forced me into and sell all the stuff they steal to make most of my money.

Go to gold saucer and ask out one of the bunny ladies.

would freak out a little not much then get a feel for my new body follow by that become a mercenary to get paid to go kill beast and or people and somewhere along the line have a misfire that somehow kill that little turd Alphinaud.

Then go flirt with Y'shtola maybe Yda too while I'm at it

I probably wouldn't be strong enough to pick up a giant axe... especially in my new body...
I'm also not skillful enough to craft or gather anything...
I guess I could go see if Master Gegeruju is hiring...

I hate to be the one party pooper of the thread... but why, when all or most of the game core mechanics persist in series like Log Horizon and SAO, would the fundamental ability to switch jobs be disabled in FFXIV? Why are we limited to 1 DoW and one DoH? The ability to swap jobs at any time is one of the draws to this game.

I'd freak out at first if I got stuck in FFXIV world at first, but then remind myself I have cat ears and a tail, along with being free from real world responsibilities, so I'd sleep and laze around for for a few weeks and play with my new ears and tail because this is what I've wanted for so long. Cat ears and tail and being free from thinking of responsibility everyday.

I would test my abilities as a Dark Knight, search for my family and friends (see if im alone in Hydalen) and continue to be The Warrior of Light. Also i would make a home of Dun Scaith and populate it with my alts, family and friends (if they exist), and like minded individuals.

So much talk about not going on an adventure and staying safe. While playing, you wouldn't care about safety because your life isn't in danger. But if you get thrown into the game, suddenly you value yourself over everyone else. And also talk about racism against lalafells. Sure, you can joke about it. But it's not funny if you do that in Eorzea. I'm sure they would kill you faster than Bahamut did to 1.0 years ago.

Now, then. As for me...Set fire to everything and everyone. I would be the avatar of destruction as I travel the lands, destroying all that I see. The greater the threat, the greater the thrill. Bonus points against racists.

If I were so lucky, I'd be logging in as my short (for a Hellsguard), incredibly pretty female Roegadyn Monk. I'd travel to Ul'dah; take a room at the Quicksand, and take a long, luxurious, hot soapy bath; then I'd take another bath. Then I'd dress in my freshly-laundered, scrubbed gear (the Quicksand has Laundry service, of course) and call on Redolent Rose. Big Rose, completely taken with my sparkling wit and physical attractiveness, would fit me in practical, yet cutting-edge High Fashion. Well-dressed and turning heads all across the city, I'd return to the Quicksand, where I'd allow the attentions of tall, strong Midlander and Highlander men (sorry RoeMen, I don't fancy the "Square Block of Granite" body type), taking my time, and selecting one dashing, witty, and nimble-fingered patron, to return to my room, where we would have sex for days, pausing only for bouts of sleep and refreshment.

I'd repeat this set of activities until my gil ran low; then I'd get out and go for a walkabout; check in with the Scions; look for easy-yet-oddly-remunerative merc work, like killing moles for farmers who can't seem to do it themselves; and wing it from there.

I'd suddenly be a Roegadyn and would most likely start smelling like saltwater and fish.

Then I'd try to live with that.

I'd go out and schmooze all the lovely ladies. Hopefully they like horns! Pun slightly intended :3

I'd be one of those background characters.

Go into the trades and stuff.

No heroic stuff. I'd rather chill like that rich lala in Costa Del Sol all day, surrounded by scantily clad women.


Pretty sure someone can take care of that WoL business and all that.

And if they can't? Well, we all gotta go sometime /shrug

because i want to see what people would come up with if they can not switch jobs allowing them to be over powered as it does just by allowing us to switch jobs on a whim aside from having a crafter or gatherer secondary job without any of us being the warrior of light

Become a menace to society.

Not on purpose, I'm just so thrilled to be able to cast magic.

If I was stuck inside ffxiv, it would have to be white mage, and more than likely gatherer or culinarian... to be able to help heal people and magic, that would be fantastic! So I'd probably become the Eorzean version of a nurse, and learn herb lore... then probably learn to deal with having horns and a tail, and how some Eorzeans might react to them.

If I was stuck in FFXIV with my character, first and foremost I would try to find a way out to get back to my wife and daughter. If there was not a way out, I would become a Astrologian to read fortunes to people/play doctor to make money. I would also become an alchemist to try and find a way to make the fantasia potions for myself, then stockpile to sell for a small fee.

I would most likely chill in Limsa Lominsa after I got all the necessary skills to chill by an ocean.

I'd flaunt what I have and find more male Elezen victims.

Well i think it depends on if i get to literally be my character or not.
If i were to be my character, the warrior of light, then i would probably continue the warrior of light business because i am basically a walking god that can cleave primals in half.

If i were just a random person, i would probably still follow the adventurer´s life but i would be way more careful and would mostly do basic "Help the town" jobs/vermin infestation/go kill a bunch of evil goblins missions and not crazy stuff.

hmm ill probably gonna take the adventure route maybe go Bard and write songs along the way too and maybe i can be handy with woodworking and furnishing stuff

Freak the fuck out from body dysphoria and being in a completely alien land with no guaranteed way home. Probably find a way back as soon as possible.

Because excuse me, I'm not going to actually live in a world where cactuars actually exist. Living cacti? NOPE.

I think I'd become a white mage. Following the whispers of the earth hither and thither cleansing it of impurities. I'd also spend my time teaching locals to live with the land instead of against it. And when I die I'd have my body returned to the twelves wood where I would probably reincarnate and do the same thing over and over again.

Considering we'd probably be just lowly adventurers I'd just fish low level fish and gain life as a retainer. :^)

I don't really know but probably continue the life of a adventuer/Warrior of Light because I want to see this story through to the end even if it means at the end I die at the end of FF14 Main Storyline Finale.
