FFXIV: The TTRPG

[TaleraRistain]

Yep! I've got my preorder all secured. Hubby and I have been following some of the homebrew things people have done so it'll be interesting to see what the official system used is and how it works.

I'm curious, but I don't have a tabletop group to play with and I have crippling social anxiety.

I might pick up the book just to read through it though. Wait, I don't even know if there is a big book!

[Bonoki]

I want to get it but have no one to play it with. My tabletop group is still in their Balder Gate 3 craze and pretty much hates all things Final Fantasy related to begin with.

Online over Discord or something to that effect is always an option. I'm not terribly fond of it to be honest, and scheduling conflicts still happen (c'est la vie), but the alternative is not playing at all.

I'm hoping to get this, at least to beg my DM to let me adapt a gunblade to D&D ^_^

[MisterNublet]

Will this have the two minute meta too?

[Renalt]

Huh. Maybe? I dunno. I would have to look at how character sheets are made and whatnot to see if it would be worth a try.

My old DnD group had mostly people who has played/is playing FFXIV so it might be a smooth transition if we all got on board with it.

Get it? On board? I'm so hilarious.

[Aldath]

I'm cautious about it, since licensed TTRPGs have a tendency to be either "meh" or "bleh". See the absolute poop fest that is the Dark Souls TTRPG, at least the english version; seems like the original Japanese version is actually good.

If it fails at least there's Sword World and Fabula Ultima, both capture the JRPG fantasy perfectly.

[Cidel]

Maybe. Maybe I should consider it as a new player to the TTRPG, because if it's anything like the MMORPG I'll have a lot of content to look forward to compared to the predictable dripfeed a veteran has to look forward to.

Anybody else hyped? I want to know if GNB is going to be available in the base or if we're going to need a splatbook for that.

From the teaser site's info, you only have WAR (or was it PLD?), DRG BLM and WHM to pick from. This is fine, because I think if they try adding more jobs of any role, they'll have to remove skills and abilities and homogenize them for the sake of balance.

If I'm reading it correctly, the Starter Set includes those four (it's WAR for the tank) as premade character sheets. Presumably the full standard rule book will include more classes to choose from. I'd expect to at least see all of the ARR jobs.
