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

[Vickii]

Go to ul’dah
hang out in the quicksand
Book the room or find somewhere to stay
Chat to some people, meet some guys
Go work at the weavers guild
Get a house in the goblet

Pretty much this..

Love Ul'Dah and Goblet too.

Find out what my limitations are. Can't make a plan unless you know what is not possible.

First, buy a fantasia and change into an Au Ra (if I can't fantasia then, oh well I guess). Second, learn what I can and can't do and if I have free will to do what I want. 3rd learn summoner and scholar jobs. 4th find others that want to be evil and team up to take over Eorzea!

I'd find limsa lominsa and join the adventurer guild and arcanist guild and start my journey and try to find y'shtola to have her in my team.

If i can use a fantasia, change to viera rava.

Pick up anything nearby that could be used as a weapon in case of monsters, find a settlement, earn some money for a change of clothes and some survival gear, see what happens and go from there.

I would visit my character's home

[MoofiaBossVal]

I presume that I do not have the ability to manipulate aether, as I am an Earth human transported to Eorzea. I didn't suddenly become an Eorzean Hyur.

First goal would be to acquire a magitek weapon. Either a rifle or a gunblade, and to find a reliable source of magitek charges for my weapon. Since I have no money, I guess I need to do some leves. I'd join either the miner's or the botanist's guild and do some leves to scrounge up some cash to buy a a cheap, functional weapon. Once I have that, I might do some adventuring with folks I met at the pup until I can afford a Chocobo.

After that, my long term goal would be to attain wealth, power, and glory, probably by pledging myself to one of the nations in the setting as a champion or an agent, and use the wealth I accumulate from my service and my adventures to eventually buy myself a nice house. I am partial to almost all of the nations in Aldenard, even Garlemald (namely the IVth Legion). Hm... really tough decision.

For a puny human like me, it seems like the only places where I can 1. climb up the social ladder and become powerful and 2. is likely to survive for the long term are Ul'dah and Limsa. If I put in the extra effort to aid a resistance rebelling against a far stronger empire, I can go to Ala Mhigo, Bozja, or Noah's kingdom, but there are a lot of "maybes" involved in whether or not we will succeed, and whether or not I would be reward with a fief and a title in the end. Everywhere else either doesn't have long term prospects (Ishgard), or I am unlikely to get a fief and a title as a foreigner (Doma, Hingashi).

[Ammokkx]

real answer is that I'd probably get attacked and eaten by some hostile creature or another within my first 5 minutes of being there

I absolutely am not physically fit enough to be an adventurer, much less a good one, so my best bet is to book it to Gridania and try to find a way to make myself useful. If I was in Ul'dah or Ishgard I'd be starving on the streets. Might be able to find some work in Limsa, but I like my chances better in Gridania.

Create the ultimate harem.
