Reaper Job Action "Communio" (question and feedback)

[Connor]

The definition of ‘communion’ is not limited to the Christian sacrament. It can also mean generally ‘to share’. Further, to ‘commune’ generally refers to ‘an intimate conversation or connection’.

As an example, if you were somehow abducted by aliens and they for some reason wanted to engage you in deep conversation and maybe a nice dinner, at that point the person could reasonably be considered ‘in communion with aliens’. Alternatively, imagine a spooky psychic doing a seance. Many would refer to this as ‘communing with the dead’

Basically the use of ‘communion’ in regards of to Reaper is simply a reference to the fact you’re contacting the ‘reaper avatar’ thing. It isn’t related to the Christian sacrament or understanding of the definition, so I don’t think it would be any more problematic than the many other things going on in FFXIV that could be considered sacrilege if misunderstood

Thanks for responding. I generally agree with this and figure it was the inspiration for it (like your "communing with the dead") example. Something I forgot to mention in the initial post is that Reaper also has several actions/effects relating to the concept of sacrifice (circle of sacrifice, stacks of immortal sacrifice etc) which make it relate a little more closely to the Christian sacrament for me. I do appreciate the feedback--hadn't seen it discussed so it's nice to see a balanced take on it.
