Blah... Why come we can't be evil in this game :/ ((Storyline wise))

Yep this is an FF game, we kill rats and squirrels then watch the real action in cut scenes.

This is not wow this is not base of PVP so why do we need this? not trying to be rude but this is a pointless topic we all know Final Fantasy XI / XIV is not about PVP is about PVE.

Good point

WTF? We are talking about been evil in the story line not killing players. The topic gives it away abit.

Because Final Fantasy has always been about joining together and fighting a greater evil, yadda yadda yadda. Of course in terms of narrative that I won't get into for spoilers, you may see something similar to this idea.

For me personally though, I'm not usually able to "immerse myself" into a game with a flimsy binomial mo system like your Mass Effects and whatnot. Sure, I love the gameplay in those games, but I've never been a fan of decision making outside of something like Deus Ex.

I remember being the evil guy in FF IV, and I didn't like it, because I felt so..bad.
I like saving the world, so I'm fine with the current role the player has in FF XIV

Right now, we are just being introduced to this world. Maybe we can start saving it with the first big version update
(not talking about the fixes they are making atm).

Good, bad Its all perspective.

Yep, which is all you did since 1980s, that's all they're made of, rats and squirrel extermination and the occasional action oriented cut scene.

Though for the 21+ years I don't recall missing out on action since I knew I wasn't playing an action game o.O

[KalaKenshu]

In what FF game have you ever been able to be evil? That's what I thought.

[Burn]

Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun.
