If you are given the choice to live in eorzea

[Zaniel]

You will become your character so you will be teleported to his last position but you will not be the main character, the main character will be the guy in the trailer the story will be at the point where you are and it will advance by itself

Are the NPCs actual real people now or just androids with an icon over their head? If real then:

Beachside house + servants, millions of gil, Echo + physical & mystical super powers + useful crafting skills, acclaim, super good looking and immortal? Plus I get to ditch all the world ending, soul cracking responsibilities of the WoL? Hell yes!!

Worst case scenario if I really need to I could become a side member of the Scions and become by FAR the most useful Trust member the actual WoL chooses to go on adventures.

First thing i'd do is go and murder Rowena, then Lolorito, then the rest of the capitalist pigs. Sorry "monetarists".

Well, communism only works in fantasy land so you finally have a shot, go get them champ.

As for the question, if your setting has no videogames, I ain't going.
If I was forced to, I guess the only work I could do would be low level Garlond Ironworks employee. Maybe I could sell Cid into my "a computer in every household, connected to a network" get rich quick scheme.
Too lazy to learn superhuman abilities, so I'll stick to normal citizen.

I never said i was going to choose a ruler to push an agenda, i only that said i'd like to murder them. See, there are capitalists, and then there are capitalist pigs who exploit the misfortune of others.

Huh, I'd be more adjusting to being a catgirl than wanting to get involved in politics.
Still, I'd have a mansion with a bunch of live-in servants and around a billion gil, so ... sounds good to me.

The npc will be like real people, they will have a will but will be mortal unlike you.
You will be immortal as long as we don't kill you, same for your servants / mounts / pets who will be able to follow you in your adventures and will be loyal to you.

You will also be able to do things that are not in the game like storing items or weapons in your house by buying a chest.
You'll easily know what's in your inventory just by thinking about it and can pull out any item just by wishing it and it will appear in your hand
It will also be possible to build a huge castle, there will be no housing limit.

All your skills will also be usable just by thinking about it and it will be something innate for you if you are for example a level 90 white mage to use a higher healing magic.

you will be able to do all the dungeons or challenges or raids but all the content will be unsync there will be no more sync system same for the fates

You can level up to level 90 max

the only black point is that being immortal maybe it will be super fun to be in eorzea but I imagine after 100 years or 1000 years or 10 000 years or more you will be in a deep boredom and will end up doing a 90 raid in solo to finish it

If the game has an update, new content or a new expansion you will receive a letter from the dev team that you can read to keep you informed of the new content
If the game is dead and there is no content left then the world of eorzea will stay the same forever.

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

Yes you will even have a huge choice of haircuts

it's time to drop the act you work for Tataru right ? how mutch she pay you ?

[leanansi]

No, the world is always like three seconds from blowing up and they don't have the internet.

[Carin-Eri]

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:

Okay - now have the mental image of Zenos striding up to enemies, shouting "A TEST OF YOUR REFLEXES" in their faces, and then cutting them down before they can respond!

[Wanzzo]

Do you accept or not?

If you do, you can never return to the real world.
As a game character you will be immortal because you won't age, but there won't be any other players, just npc's. If you die in the game it will be a real death.

If you accept, what's the first thing you'll do?

I'd probably go home and eat all kinds of food

Yes I created this topic because I am hungry

Well, I'd try to live inside one of the starting cities only as a fisher or culinarian xD (or both).
My main char is now at Sharlayan, so this will be the place to stay, despite all things. If they don't allow me to stay there, then Limsa would be my home 'til sea swallows all u.u

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

This is a tough choice..

On one side my character already have a comfy apartment, rich in gils and resources in general, and pretty steady daily income. On this front, I’d gladly live with these well established prospect!
But on the other side, I loved my WoL. I don’t want to become him. I want to bring happiness to his life. I want to stand proud by his side till death do us part I can’t do all of that if I took over him entirely.

Maybe I’ll just admire him from this side of the monitor..!
