Role Playing Characters

[Lunalepsy]

Just a curiosity/chatty topic. How many of you actually get into roleplaying in 14? What kind of roleplay do you do? What's your character like?

(I'm totally not making this topic to further procrastinate going to bed)

I find RP to be excessive at times. It seems no one wants to socialize/talk about things anymore.

My Caard.co thingie is almost done. I think I got most of the formatting down and just need to work on the text. I'll have it done in a day or two.

Yep-typically just with close friends now though. I have had a *lot* of negative experiences with RPers who can't separate reality from fantasy, people who have gotten mad when they saw me speaking to someone they didn't like, etc. I love RP but at this point, just DM me if you wanna write, lol

Gross, that's about on par with players who self-insert themselves as their RP character and then get mad when bad things happen (such as IC insults, like someone is attacking you personally). It's so uncomfy to be around.

I recently played with someone who self-inserted as their character with a major power fantasy and... it was not enjoyable for any of the other people. I'm talking forcing action on other players' characters and almost bullying people out of scenes to hog the spotlight. Like, we're playing make believe in an MMO, calm down jeez.

I even talked to them in private after one scene where they forced a major action on several characters, which led to something REALLY bad happening to my character, and they just completely dismissed what I was saying. They eventually left our group because they realized their power trippy self-centered playstyle didn't mesh well with a group who just wants to have fun together.

Love RPing, have a great group of friends do it with.

Not a fan of venues, though. FFXIV has such a vast and cool world, and you guys wanna spend it in the coffee shop of the week? No thanks.

I RP all the time! My humansona is a responsible adult who has a job and pays taxes.

Crazy I roleplay as a tax evader!

This kind of…hurts actually. It may be excessive & in truth hardly anyone socializes likewise whenever & anytime.

It’s a funny void within ffxiv social “aspect”. Feels monotone & isolated unless you feel the need to join a savage fc or whatever to fill in that part of you

A have never RP in FF, mainly because I suck at RP. When I played DnD with my friends the GM usually tell me to "try to role play more". I just simply cant.

But I have always wondered, how do you RP in FF XIV? is everyone a WoL? Is just a "different universe"?

My group strays away from the main story stuff, like yeah certain canon events have happened but we as a whole generally have nothing to do with it. We all separate the WoL character from our RP characters and just exist as completely different characters within the world of 14. Beyond that we just... act out scenes in character as we wish.

Someone will say in discord something like "Anyone want to RP?" and someone will say sure and be like "where? what are we doing/what's the scene?" and just go from there.
