Realism.

[Nakiamiie]

Can someone post me the real definition of realism and what XIV's definition of realism is because from what I have been reading I do believe they are 2 separate things.

I run around on an overgrown yellow bird while using crystallized elements to make gear that helps me fight overgrown rats, Dodos (I believed to be extinct), Raptors (also supposedly extinct), a god like creature of fire (no i don't mean a volcano), while building up my rage met... I mean TP to stick my lance in mob's ass that shoots a beam of light at it.

Fantasy realism, something that will be plausible with the game physics and setting.
True realism, something plausible in real life. Fantasy realism can include true realism, but the other way around doesn't work.

example (just examples, get over it):
Fantasy realism: riding big yellow birds instead of horses;
Fantasy shenanigan: anima teleportation (barely used by NPCs and not explained why [many many many quests would have been purposeless if NPCs would have just teleported/return] -- but it solves a need for players until better fantasy realistic solutions are found [chocobo, airship, etc.])
