What is canon and what is not (Spoilers)

[MariaArvana]

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.

I mean what do you expect him to say when being asked an innocent question like that? "NO, WOL ONLY YOU DARN RPERS"? 90% chance he'd say something similar if someone asked if they could RP WOW's horde invading Eorzea through a portal or just joke and say "whatever you guys find fun!". He's not gonna try and fun police people.

For many people, wanting to RP is to immerse yourself in the world and all its limitations, physics, etc. Every last bit of the lore to this day has stated that travelling to the First is basically impossible outside of supernatural or super-engineering feats, which nobody but the most mary-sue like characters are going to have the means to do so. So by wanting to explore themes and settings that are impossible to reach by all except for a very small amount of people, you're naturally going to shun a vast majority of people who want to stay bound by the lore of the universe the devs have created or turn them off from Rping with you due to your character having mary-sue like properties. It's not an excuse; its simple lore-adhering.

But like any RP, it's about the groups you find. You could RP anything you want in FF14 and bend the lore as much as you like, just find a group of like-minded individuals who are interested, and leave anyone who's not interested alone instead of trying to convince them otherwise.
