Disciples of Arts :: role-playing subclasses

[Hito-Shura]

This looks amazing and interesting! Very well developed aswell! It would be a great addition and I'm sure it would please a lot of players as many like to dress and act funny in public while others could use the perks to enhance roleplaying experiences.

I can imagine a questline similar to Hildibrand with many eccentric characters that would lead us to the bonuses of such a class!

Speaking as the person who launched the vampire thread and RP my blog as a vampire hunter I really like your idea and find it amazing how much work you put into it.

All that remains is finding lore reason for the existence of RP classes. Thantalos anyone? Hey, yeah. Why isn't there theater in Eorzea?

Isn't there one in Old Gridania? o.O Not that it's actually used for anything outside of seasonal events. And...one of the DoH/L quests.

Outside of that, I think this is a pretty cool idea and utilizes a lot of the in-game shenanigans they pull to introduce seasonal events and stuff lore-wise. Although I would much prefer an actual Dancer class (or whatever name they decide to use to call it) for in-combat awesomeness - perhaps some of these roleplaying traits and/or skills could have cosmetic changes to your character in combat as well. Such as unique stance changes and animations (jumping, running, or even skill executions) to help involve the role-play aspect of your character being the thing you're trying to be. It essentially is just a 'skin' for your character in various ways - another level of glamour so-to-speak. It would even open up new quest-lines and mystery for other side-quests. Much like how glamour spheres I think took the idea from Sylphs - who are naturally adept at disguises.

We actually build one in the bottom floor of our FC house.

Tantalus Theatre Co. At your service.

I agree, this sounds really awesome!

[Balipu]

Well since we can become postmoogles I don't see any reason why we cant be dancers or vampires

[myahele]

I don't think it's necessary.

Many things OP mentioned can be glamoured and be obtained in various methods: gold saucer, special events, post-moogle, etc

I am in love with this idea! Not so much the "vampire" thing (are there even vampires in Eorzea? I know there are voidsent and succubi, but I've yet to see an actual vampire) nor the idea of relegating Dancer to an RP class (I'm holding out hopes for a melee support job), but everything else seems really cool!

Bingo. As far as I know there really arent. That's why I want them to be in.

Wow! You really put a lot of effort into this! Very cool ideas that would add a lot of character to the game!
