Rowena is actually a walking parody of something that happened in real life. For relevance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_scrip

Workers were more or less owned by the Company, just like Rowena's workers are. They are indebted and contracted to her. They are paid only in scrip which can only be used in her store fronts. Often these workers IRL (and just like poor Gerolt) only get deeper in debt no matter how much they work, thus keeping them under the company's (or Rowena's) thumb. Meanwhile, she rakes in all of the actual monetary profit of their work and they don't really see any of it, same as the IRL companies did.

There is a pretty famous song about all this by the name "Sixteen Tons." It's pretty good.

If I'm my post-Endwalker WoL, I guess I'll go practice my Red Mage skills while I wait for [REDACTED For 6.X story spoilers] to happen.

I'd convince my best friend Zenos to join me on my adventures. He and I should kill enemies together for fun! We don't even need the Scions, we're powerful enough. We'd go on a murderous rampage. c:

If I choose to become a Hrothgar will I be able to wear hats?

Or better yet, become richer then all them and use your wealth to make them miserable. (๑و•̀ω•́)و

I much prefer my vegetables in my plate rather than attacking me when I leave home...and the insects are giant (eww) and there are no toilets in Eorzea.

To answer the OP's question: If it is me being whisked away to Eorzea, where I become my character and there's no Tactics Advance shenanigans, then I would choose yes. ლ(*꒪ヮ꒪*)ლ

Boy, you really did misplace your marbles. I would be very shocked if Rowena and "monetarists" don't have a PMC like system that protects them. They would paint you as the Griffon 2.0 and the WoL would kill you for some glamour pieces, lol.

As for the question, I probably would take the plunge if I was the WoL and I would think about it if I wasn't. I would be an NPC loitering around Limsa lower decks and point and laugh at gaudy glamours. That sounds like the life!

I wish for something like Log Horizon (my fav anime ♥), and i would say a milion times yes! Can you imagine doing nothing, get tons of money, using MAGIC, be what you want, do what you want, in a FANTASY game??? Like, why is it even an option, who wants to live in this shitty ass world anyway

I'd decline.

There's a bunch of other canon settings that I'd readily agree to being thrown into though I'm quite happy to live where I live in the real world. Eorzea simply doesn't compare.
