What is canon and what is not (Spoilers)

[Ruinfeild]

I treat basically anything as canon except for the crossover promotional events.

That said, very few people actually roleplay being the Warrior of Light/Darkness in the RP community because that whole idea falls apart very quickly, and also beholdens you to a linear story instead of RPing whatever you want for your character's story. If everyone 'is the Warrior of Light' or even just five people in the same room, it gets ridiculous because the story is written very clearly with a singular protagonist in mind, and having everyone say they experienced the same events is very limiting.

As for people going to the First, it's not exactly an easy task to do but I believe Yoshi P in an interview basically gave his blessing for people to do that if they want to in their RP as non WOLS but I'd have to go looking for the exact quote. But in the context of the msq it doesnt' really make much sense because it's a pretty big point that only the WOL is able to freely make that journey. On the other hand, I don't blame anyone for not wanting to cut an entire expansion worth of zones and story out of their RP so I have no issue with people RPing ways to do it.

I did a quick search and came up with this.

So if this is true (even with the source link), it does seem like Yoshi-P is indeed giving his blessings to RPers who are just simple adventurer's to be able to travel to the first and back to the source.

The question now becomes though that despite yes, even though Yoshi-P supports the idea of normal adventurer's going to the first and back because it is all about making the players own fun, will the RP community be able to accept it and move on or still throw in the excuse of 'but the story says x and y'

Even though I know in RP it is all about having fun and creating a character you enjoy within reason of course (not like x character is the son of these two named NPC's but was actually adopted and y is their father), but I seen new RPers and those wanting to get into it put off because of how fractured the community can be.

Edit: First link I looked at also had to do with the topic and seemed the discussion was more pointed at the question being asked for lore purposes and it wasn't really an answer other than 'RP how you want and not worry about what others think'
