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

[Oraros]

Buy a fantasia, fantasia to Au Ra, learn a terrifying combination of Warrior and Black Mage, then take over the Azim Steppe with the Dotharl (and possibly the world).

If I couldn't fantasia and I were my normal self, I'd join the Alchemists Guild and use my chemistry and math smarts to do something. After that I'd introduce psychology to Eorzea and become its first psychologist, becoming famous and rich at the same time (hopefully).

As myself? Get a job at the Garlond Ironworks. With my knowledge of advanced technology, I'd bet I could advance the level of technology on Eorzea by a lot.

Ponder how the hell did I wind up the protagonist of an isekai story, then proceed to be a waling deconstruction of the premise as I inevitably become a peasant living in fear of Primals and Garleans and ultimately dying as such, not a ruler or hero.

Either that or somehow use my knowledge of the Game's plot to pass as a seer and ultimately change the future or at least make the Scion's Jobs easier. Perhaps use that as a starting point to be a more legitimate seer and prophet

Hello, new lab buddy.

Not sure psychology would be compatible with this universe. But if you mastered mathematics and chemistry, we might harbor the same library's, attend one another's lectures or keep up with papers the other had written...even challenged one another in ideas over a drink or chess game. Just be careful you don't go too far, lest the Scions come after you! lol

This thread made me feel nostalgic about my Scholar job and I tracked down those hideous L50 glamour's to outfit my toon in. :P

...6 months later, "Such devastation!"


lol

Lol, that's perfect! xD

[Kitsune2200]

Go find me a cute au ra or miqo'te girl then travel the world whille leaning a combat skill and a trade skill or two

[Recon1o6]

Depends where I woke up tbh. I'd def join the ironworks or mealvaan's gate. Take actual lessons at the lancers guild if I can since I reckon my HEMA won't quite cut it against some of the deadlier beasties.
Learn some magic if I can. Basic fire and ice first, and healing after.

grab myself an apartment in mist and a fantasia when I could. Let me be a tall dragon girl, or a nice handsome catboy, not a gaunt yorkshireman who everyone is creeped out by

Basically putting my accounting and design skills to use while getting myself capable of surviving if I end up outside safe places. Survival then stability, then comfort.

Panic. Then eventually try to join one of the combat guilds and try to become an adventurer. Also I would probably try to find a fantasy for...reason

[StriderShinryu]

Hmmm... if I'm myself and not my character, I'd be pretty limited in what I was truly able to do or interested in doing. Long term, I'd probably end up in one of the crafting guilds. Goldsmithing would be my preference. Something that would allow me to travel at my leisure (or as much leisure as Eorzea allows) to see the world with an in demand profession while getting my hands dirty only if I needed to, and I'd be far away from front line conflict (or, again, as far away as Eorzea allows).
