Did I do good at RP?

RP haters need to get a hobby and stop being upset at other people having fun.

You did give me a chuckle but I'm also not a serious roleplayer, so who knows!

Less time travel and more lala bench pressing next time tho!

Like playing a TTRPG where you know you pretend to be someone else where you look to increase your character's stats and skills through the use of storytelling. I swear that person is the one who doesn't understand the mean of the words role-playing. Heck it's what actors do all the time. They come off as never having played house or any other game where they have to use the power of make believe while acting out a certain role. Are we sure they didn't get a reverse bullying role in school where they were shoved into a locker by the drama club?

This is a game, not acting classes, that's not hard to get

in what genre is this game at?
horror?
simulator?
shooter?
strategy?
sports?

or a freaking R P G ???

Do you really know what RPG means? '-'

"Oh, but this is made by japonese..."

Yeah, but for whom they made it for? for themselves? Or for a whole world using wordly patterns already known in MMORPGs? with inspirations like WoW and so many other games (like Yoshi-P already said) or is something alien to the world around them like an exclusive game made for japoneses only using only their tastes and market? '-'

Fight as much as you want but this isn't built for Western type rpg.

It's a Japanese made game with their interpretation that goes along what the Japanese still expect.

The wow inspiration comes from how the game plays along with it's end game along with class balance

nope.

Yoshi said about the way the community was created inside WoW and how people attach to the core lore and all that. Also, the way quests are made and the general feeling of progress. He stated that in his MMO (FFXIV) he desired to improve such things giving the players of FFXIV the feeling of being part of the world, as we progress through the story and the events in the world. In fact, in FFXIV we feel inside the world and our char is very important to the world story.

Similar stuff we can see in games such as D&D tabletops RPG and books like the lord of rings, etc. Products made by western people, btw... '-'

Edit:
To give you an example of western inspirations that the devs take, the city of Amaurot came from a book called Utopia (written by Tomas More - which is not japonese, btw).

Here is the details: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...oints_out_the/

And this is just ONE example. There is a lot more.

So, again, despite FFXIV was made by japoneses and fall for JRPG genre, it has elements of regular, well known and well developed worldwide RPG stuff, patterns and appeals. This is easily understandable as we see that FF franchise is wordly known by decades now and always had such patterns in their "universal" versions.

That's why we have "RP" tags inside game.
That's why we can make FCs inside this game.
That's why the story is so important for our progress.
That's why so many NPCs are well detailed.
That's why so many well done and long cutscenes everywhere.
And that's why the progress through the story have such weight in our general gameplay.

All that to make us feel part of the created world! Like in all western RPG products out there.

And like any MMORPG worldwide accessible, to be part of the world, to FEEL part of the world is so incentivated by the very devs. No matter where they came from, the genre, the appeals, the patterns of social interactions stills the same!

If that dudes finds out about this tag they are going to be livid.

My good Sir, you do not verbally brag to a lady, you let your actions speak for you, and by actions I don’t mean doing push-ups in front of her.

Oh so that's why Renalt is nearly a 40 year old virgin!

Surely just that and NOTHING else.

[Absimiliard]

Role-players truly are an infestation. It's fine if they keep to themselves, but they seem to like going out of their way to make it other people's problem.
