If you/your character was unhindered, what would they do in FFXIV's story?

[Windi]

Envision this game following the design philosophies of the Elder Scrolls series, for example. If joining the Scions was completely optional, would you actually fight for their cause? If killing the primals or Garleans was something you could opt out of, would you do so?

Those were just minor examples. This thread is basically just to chat about what you or your character (if you roleplay) would do in the game's world if the entire story had no inhibitions of any kind. Let's share!

For starters, I'd probably be reluctant to stick with the Scions past Ifrit due to some of the harsh realities it entails. In the first meeting you have with the Syndicate, I'd probably call them all names and start a fist fight, getting myself kicked out with no proper diplomacy being accomplished. Other than that... I kind of want to be a "Dark Knight" kind of hero who fights for their own end and isn't trusted by anyone due to not being affiliated with anyone.

A Create Your Own Adventure sort of thing? Hmm... I'd probably end up like this guy.

[AskaRay]

I would've shot Zephirin in the back I mean there was literally no reason I couldn't do that

Oh uh.
Yes I'd still join the Scions and go against the Garleans. I would have actually avoided the whole Dragonsong war personally like. Yo man they got themselves into that mess...not my problem (currently). But the evil space empire and rampaging gods? Affecting my life right now.

aside from induldge in a heavy helping of Rule 34 with several fem NPC/Retainers... probably have caused Ishberd's death secertly way before he could turn the Brave's into half-corrupt asshats & took over or looked into our finacially backing from the get-go (& thus noticed corrupt backers right away, making noticing corrupt members easy like the douche who took Raburahn's arm)

(Srry for potental bad/wrong spelling of NPC names has I am horrible remembering names in RL unless I've said/spelt it several times)

My guy will start collecting crystals ( like HUGE amounts) and start praying to Lightning, which will create a primal version of her and have her rule over the land under her benevolent hand.

Every cutscene in the waking sands past level 24 would feature me grabbing Minfilia by the shoulders and shaking her really hard while doing a monologue on linkshell functionalities.

I'd do the same, but question her tastes of fashion instead.

Join empire, work through ranks, become emperor and conduct a proper invasion of Eorzea.

[Daemius]

I would likely have followed the quest line as is up until 2.55.

I would have raised hell after the bloody banquet and not fled. I would then start some stuff with Merlwyb and Kan-E-Senna for not backing Raubahn when it all went down. I'm a diehard Ul'dahn and I take their peacing out as cowardice and betrayal. I understand they have their own nations to look after but I still think they did Raubahn dirty. Also f*** the monetarists.Aside from that I'd probably also find someway to trade Minfillia's life for Moenbryda's since I liked her way better >.>
