Aska is female and Ruri is a guy? D:
My whole world and faith and any certainty in life just came crashing down °-°

I now have cat ears and a cat tail. Time to learn how to use them after getting done with the freak out. After all my exploring of my new body I would find myself relearning a ton of new everyday things then learning how to be a Blue Mage. IF the Blue Mage thing doesn't work out it's time to be a Machinist and enjoy playing with guns and weird new tech.

Just a normal guy playing a character the same sex as themselves irl.. how boring! (kidding). :D

I guess I would invest in some heels, get involved in some dealerships to ensure I have a nice cashflow and then hire some bodyguards. I'd probably also go on a diet to do something about my suddenly chubby face.

I'd give myself the ever-fashionable Lightning haircut since the Aesthetician is too incompetent to do so. Then I'd put on some tight leather, white gold and diamonds and hit the tavern to see which Hyur and Elezen guys can drink me under the table. :D

I would also visit the Gold Saucer every day, fly on a dragon, eat all the time without getting out of shape, meditate under the Coerthan night sky and see which one burns brighter: Lalafell or moogle.

Look for a certain someone who's timezone would no longer be an issue ^^
Start contemplating a job change so I don't see titan's big fists o' fury pummeling my face in first person point of view.
Wiggle ears and wag tail.
Check to see if I became a Ken doll... (and cry a little if I did).
Continue to do ridiculous half naked dancing in limsa regardless.
Wonder if Hydaelyn is still keeping me immortal...
If yes, be very reckless. If no, hide in a corner and become a very peaceful kitty kat that crafts a lot and kills the occasional squirrel.
Punt Tataru if she tries to talk to me.

Firstly, freak out that I'd gone from 5'7"(170cm) to 7'4"(222cm). Also natural redhead instead of having to dye it like irl, also heterochromia! :D

By day: Selene and I would travel the world healing ailments and curing disease. Challenge males to arm-wrestle me, wear fishnets without giving a damn because I would actually have body confidence if I were my Femroe. :D

By night: Hook up with Roegadyn (any gender)! :rolleyes:

Surely that's the equivalent of sex irl? If so, I expect a LOT of it to be going on as people test out their new *ahem* "toys". :o

I would first go looking for my friends, but it might be hard when a lot of people look alike, and I guess we wouldn't really have our names magically floating above our heads.

Then I would probably settle down in Limsa as a weaver, botanist and part time healer. Boring, I know. ^^;

Find a nice Miqote, get a house, become a Goldsmith, make lots of money, go kill the guy down at Costa, take his place and live like a queen forever...NOW that is life.

I've had further time to think upon this because i really love things like this

so, AFTER working out where im storing this wardrobe, and bed, and xmas lights, and this tree..... and this food.... and all these clothes....... about my person.......
just how cavernous is my "personal storage space"

and after recieving restraining orders from several people,

id go about tryin to evolve and advance my classes because hey
im no longer limited by game dev restrictions, so time to practise and study the full arts

first port of call, soul/job stones
sure i carry all of them at once i just, due to game rectrictions cant use more than 1 at a time; but nowwwwwww

time to try and become a Grey Scholastrummoner
summon a dozen egis of all the primals, have etherial bahamut armor, and true form lily healing my army whilst i command the power of Gravitational Holyflares.

right?

ill deal with the aetherless wasteleands i leave after crafting my twisted black and white cane with a dismantled star globe top and codex and grimoire pages floating around it.

its time to create a new era, topple the rowena strangle hold over the realm and become an all powerful magic god
bonus if i can get a hot guy harem going


i like to keep my ambitions simple and small ya know

I'd go fishing, that's what I'd do in real life if I had enough cash to retire. The only difference would be when I go fishing in RL I travel about in a Ford Focus not a flying dragon. Dragon sounds better.

Fun Fact: I was lure fishing for Perch in The Dravanian Hinterlands for blue scrips and all I could think of while I was there was how I need to go actual fishing, haven't been for a while and it looked so peaceful and serene.

And what do ya know, we don't even need SE to make a new trial. We got our new boss fight right here!

Spam Ring of Thorns over and over in town until I accidentally impaled myself.

Sorry for destroyin your dream X)

I would walk with strut just to FEEEEEL the bounce of my glorious afro.
I would go to my FC room and have a pint (that vendor looks so lonely)
I would go to my personal house and have many pints (much bigger bar)
I would either evict or forcibly change the clothes of my vendors so they do not look so.... meh. (not like that, Manderville Coatee will do just fine)
I would hit my retainer with the next fish they brought me.
I would re-add my beard (because i would miss mine)
I would do every fight in the game all over.
I would go slap the RMT repeatedly, but for real this time.
I would take time to contemplate the meaning of life while literally standing still for 2.5 seconds just because I turned on Shield Oath. Probably announcing "I shall defend now" for no reason in particular.

Never thought of the perspective :0
Ew. Just one more reason to stop fighting. I already loathe melee dps because I don't have a full bird-point type of view of the whole room anymore, but first person? I couldn't get ANYTHING done and would stand in all aoes and never notice when others are about to get hit when I'm on healer and..just no :(

If I was suddenly there and couldn't get back, order of precedence:

1.) Figure out where all the bathrooms are. (Of course, figure out if going to the bathroom is a 'thing' in Eorzea first. I mean, I'm sure it is but... who knows? You never do see those bathrooms.)
2.) Figure out if eating is actually required or just fun. (This follows with issue #1.)
3.) Find a training dummy to go learn how to actually use my weapons and skills... because no, I actually don't know how to use Ring of Scorn in real life. (Shocking, I know!)
4.) Turn to a life of hunting down RMTs, beating the crap out of them and taking all of their gil so I live like a king. (And be a hero in the process!)

You will know how because your character does.

Not stated implicitly in your original post, but I'd still go practice anyway... just to be certain.

Little late on this but ok...Haseo got Atoli and all but I don't remember Kite whining/brooding as much. For someone who was suppose to be a bad-ass PKer...twice, he had some abandonment issues. And I probably wouldn't want anything to do with Canard.

Honestly, I just forgot about him :P

ATOLIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OVAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Definitely I would go fly on my Griffon mount first. I would come back and hug all of my friends. I would then be really interested in talking to beast tribe races, especially spending time doing the Sundrop dance with the Vanu. I really can't describe the other things I would do, not and keep it polite...heh but I would seriously want to visit Aymeric.

http://musingsandinklings.typepad.co...6e8b1cd970b-pi

And pet random miqo'tes, punt lalas, ask roes how the weather is up there... the whole 9 yards.

Pretty much what I'd go through if I suddenly got sucked into the world of FFXIV. After getting over the inital shock of waking up in a bedroom that isn't mine (FC manor owner here), I'd then end up quickly dealing with inital shock number two, which would involve me looking down and suddenly popping the questions "Hey! Where did THESE come from!? ... why do I have a femnine voice?" ... which would then lead me to notice I suddenly have a light blue cat tail and ears. I'd end up spending the whole day (possibly more) just getting used to the fact that I'm now living as a female (cat) for the rest of my life. I'd also probably trip over myself a bit, not used to having a tail and all that, lol.

After finally getting over that, one of two things would happen:

1: Life would go as normal for me, that is to say... adventuring! Assuming I know for fact that I can just simply use the return feature if I die in combat, which would make me fearless towards combat.

2: If it doesn't work that way or I'm uncertain, I would seek a job in the Manderville Gold Saucer... if just simply because landing a job there would allow me to be working for freaking Godbert Manderville himself.

There are also other things I'd like to try too in the world of FFXIV, but I won't bother listing everything here.

Change to a dps because I already have enough trouble tripping in real life I'll prob trip midway through a cure and let the tank die.
And buy more clothes because I must look amazing.

1) Immediately head to Limsa to drink rum and bed wenches
2) Go to the Brume and play dice with my homies and free style and talk about how much the guards suck
3) Kick every Lalafell and send them flying through the air dramatically
4) Experience what it feels like to have beady eyes upon me
5) Make awesome food and gorge myself since I'm 60 culinarian in Eorzea but level 4 irl

There's more but I could go on and on

Hopefully wake up in my personal house with my eternal bond mate. :v

But high up on the list would be to throw my arms around my chocobo and give him a big hug, then go on a nice run around the safe maps.. Try out some flying.

I'd let others try out the battle and dying stuff, and decide from there. No permanent death risk? Probably continue adventuring. Risky/things hurt really bad? Professional chocobo racer. But I'd probably stick to being a SCH/healer instead of playing with melee classes..

Am I still the Warrior of Light? If so, panic

If not, still panic.

Determine if death is permanent or has any consequences. If it does level up my culinary alchemy and use only range dps. Figure out if I have to feed all my minions and mounts. Open those balcony doors in FC mansions. See if I can make personal rooms in my personal house then rent out rooms.

Is the player character death permanent compared to npc player death like log horizon?

Spit as much game at the miqote girls as I can before my time there runs out.

For terms of a gameplay mechanic, permadeath is not something one would associate with PCs. However, the fact that NPCs die and are unable to be revived means that the potential for it is there even if it's not something that would ever be applied as part of the game system to PCs. There's no way to know what would happen should you suddenly inhabit the body of your character, though, so sadly there's really only one way to find out.... (Though honestly my post was meant to be a bit of a lark, anyway.)

I'd probably perform dragoon jumps until I'm bored of them because dragoon jumps are one of the moves I love from FF games and would love to try out myself XD

1. Make Hismena my bride, in turn gain access to her tome gear inventory
2. Pet the first miqoute I see; punt the first lalafell.
3. Slaughter all 4 lvl 50 beast tribe token vendors and fast track my relic(3 quests a day no mo')
4. Punt that robot off the portside, and take my damned airship out on an exploratory voyage(Wind Turbulence pfft.)
5. Bathe in the blood of all the sand merchants and tree huggers in Seal Rock #Maelstrong
6. Break the glass ceiling and start desynthesizing 190 jewellry and armor.
7. Master the Quadruple Fell Cleave.
8. Retire in Costa, get some shades and enjoy the "view".
