You wake up in Eorzea... What is your next step?

[24842]

What would you decide to do?

That depends on what do I wake up as. A hyur? A (fe)male?

Well, the OP said:

what if I woke up IN the game? Not as my character, but as me!

It's not even a Hyur, let alone wishful thinking, like Sword Art Online we would be our Human selves and the differences would stand out. Another player posted we would all be killed off fast, I imagine that would be true unless we managed to appear in the right spots, the FF universe has always been a very hostile and dangerous place filled with monsters and badguys....without our cool hero skills/powers that come with the toons we play, we wouldn't last very long being like that woman you save when starting out in Ul'dah. But we can still dream as we RP our heroes as they save the day!


EDIT: Though I've always been curious what it would be like to have kitty ears, I know I'd eventually get my tail caught in the door lol, so I'm pleased with who/what I am. It would be too strange to be someone else, like that guy from Quantum Leap always seeing a face that was not his in the mirror.

Yep, hence my answer of going to the chirurgeon. Have to make sure I'll be able to exist in this new world without dying of the common pathogen. Then again, what if our body doesn't make use of aether?

First priority: Figure out where I am, where my/the WoL is, what the time frame is, and then decide if I should try to be either as close as, or as far away as possible to her.

Try to get in good with the Scions, then man the home base, stay the hell away from any sort of combat.

Use meta-knowledge to cheat like crazy by arranging to always be where the fighting is not, among other things. Try to BS my way out of having to explain how i always seem to know where the biggest danger is going to be and acting to avoid it in advance.

Try to build a trap in Minfilia's solar. Yes Nabriales, i know you are going to be a thing, and while i sure as hell can't fight myself, it might be possible to set something up long before he actually shows.
The big questions are: How many crystals are needed to equal the value of one soul? How can that number of crystals be acquired within the timeframe of ARR? How can those crystals be stored in a way as to be readily available when stuff goes down? How can i get the Scions to not decide i'm being all sus by doing these things? If all four of these questions can be given a good answer then great. If not, then sorry Moenbryda, i tried.

*Sweats* Waaaaaaay to many potential points of failure here...
