There's a roleplay discord community for Chaos and Light where most roleplayers hang out, which tends to discuss lore, advertise daily / weekly roleplay roulettes and much more. I don't mean it's enforced, I mean that since it's a general consensus whenever it's discussed or brought up that "Fantasias are not canon" it's handled in a very "Let's try something else or another angle if you want to change your character" in fc's and out in the open from personal experience. If we get down to semantics, sure, every community is a bubble in the end. You are in a bubble, I am in a bubble. Anyone can do anything in roleplay, hell I've been in events where people have been playing Ryne and Y'shtola, and just played it like it landed and took it as a fun experience while never referencing it happened after because I thought it was kinda silly. You can't enforce anything except within a community / FC / roleplay group / roleplay event that you lead. But if you turn up as an "Ascian Thriceborn Allagan tank commander" you rarely get embraced and agreed with on your choice if you go extremely off the wall, lore can be bent, its necessary for events and fun but outright breaking it tends to be shunned. I'm just talking on my observations in the general community, roulette spaces, various FC's and so forth.

I just disagree that bringing in Fantasia into being an actual canon thing will be good for the overall roleplay vibe, it bites away at any sense of uniqueness, flaws and the journey your character has done if you can just shift to whatever you want by chugging a potion. It being an artifact level potion that can't be just bought at your local apothecary might make it more digestable though. You are entitled to your opinion as much as I am to mine. If it becomes actual canon, then there's nothing about it. Just gotta play it how it lands, but personally if it goes out of control, hugely offputting as a concept and possibly a dealbreaker for me.

I am suspected of "not spending much time in the rp community" and "being in bit more of a bubble than I think" let's try and make the next post without directly referencing to me and suspecting of how I go about my day, and talk about the point instead. Third time the charm? Thank you~
