Fantasias are going to get lore now it seems.

Honestly, this is a fair equivalent, that we're probably only saved from having to deal with because the skips are boring.

Skip books kind of have an interesting basic premise – it's an enchanted book so potent that reading it not only convinces you that you've lived through the author's adventures, but convinces all the author's friends as well. But the results probably hew too close to canon for good original-character RP, unless perhaps you invent a similar book that convinces you of something else.

Perhaps this other book doesn't work quite so well, and one day this complete stranger walks in absolutely insistent that he's a well-known author or journalist despite clearly not being them.

Oh that was a intressting History Lesson.
While not active i play on the EU Side and was aware of the grounded nature of most characters and RPs.
I didnt knew about the NA Culture so it was quiete informative.
Thanks for that

Ul'dah, the Marketboard area.

On topic - I find it funny that, in a world like XIV's, some people are fussing over an appearance change item.

Well, seems like the lore was just ambiguous enough to be satisfactory on all fronts

It certainly seems to nix the reality-bending idea. Funny to imagine someone having to formally warn and reintroduce themselves to everyone in their social circle before and after using one lol.

You could debatably say that we're the only ones that are actually aware of it; it's stated SUPER ambiguously, and the alchemist himself is basically Plausible Deniability: The Man, so it's hard to know how much weight to give his words.
