Characters or Toons

[Capita]

I say toon, because I can, and "char" snobs are idiots.

Blacklist me, because I don't wanna play with people anal enough to bitch about what their character in a video game is called.

I also ignore (or send messages to) people who say PST, because 'please say tell' sounds like they dont know english. Dont mind it at all if they say send tell or anything along those lines.

PST is actually "Please Send Tell," which makes perfect sense, so those people should ignore you for being stupid.

Despite the dismay of the 'overly-sensitive-about-inconsequential-subjects' crowd, both terms are here to stay. As such, I use both, they're interchangeable

I hate when people say toon, it's so annoying. It's partly because I think of games like WoW and almost every other game with crappy graphics where you make dosens of character because you have to. But in a ff game they're definetly ment to have more of an impact on the game then just keep making more and never get attached to one. And a game as rich with story and detail as this is ment to breath life into the characters and calling it a character is what you call anyone in a book or movie which is the same here. Calling it a toon just takes us back from what this game is. My characters not a toon. I haven't heard once people calling them toons litereally since the start of phase 4 when there was jut a bunch of people saying it and now I even see it in game when people shout. Honestly, in my entire time playing 1.0 no one has ever said toon

Toons? What? ..Who even..? LOL the only people I could image doing this are kids who grew up playing "Toon Town" that kid's MMO. Why in the hell else would you ever refer to your character as a toon??

haha.

[Xieveral]

"character", "alt", "my [insert class here]" or I call them by name

[Tonka]

While I'm not one to refer to my Tonkapoo as a "toon," I'd like to formally request that anyone who finds the terminology to be so offense it warrants a blacklist or some form of verbal degradation, please just blacklist me right now. Thank you!

Character for me. Never thought it sounded right with toon. Reminds me of Toon Town from Roger Rabbit.

[Malbeth]

Character for me as well. I'll have to jump on board with the people saying Toon makes them cringe. Shallow I know, but Toon is just awful sounding. Just doesn't jive with my vision of RPG/MMO.

Me, I'm not playing a character, I'm not playing a toon, This isn't toon town. I'm living my life in Eorzea and I enjoy the Immersion. I don't refer to myself in the third person while playing.
"I just got my character to level x marauder." no. "I just leveled to x marauder."

Toon is offensive. We are not cartoons, we are not playing toon town.

Toons, because it's fun pissing off all the snobs who get upset over it.
