But it would be dumb as rocks if I actually tried to use that in RP just because that's what I played in-game.
I wouldn't compare being the savior of Eorzea to being able to play as an actual job given to us in the game that is a necessity for high level play. Â My point is that classes/jobs should be RPed freely. Â Not much more to it. Â Some people would rather not make any distinction between the two and that's understandable. Â For any individual that wants to RP as any job, all that really matters is how we handle it when RPing with others.
You can disagree with me on the comparison, but as I said, it's the same thing in my eyes. Â If you're going to say, "If I can play it, I can RP it," then the thing is, I already have played Savior of Eorzea, so why can't I RP it? Â Because it doesn't make any sense?
Catch 22, don't you think?
I completely understand where she is coming from, and I would respect her IC/OOC even if she looked at mine like she was bat shit crazy for claiming to be a White Mage. At the end of the day people are going to RP how they see fit, and just as I have every right to RP a White Mage she has every right to RP like I'm Michele Bachmann ..I mean bat shit crazy.
If lore wise it exists, I personally am very lenient with how my character will perceive people and accept certain things. Obviously someone RP Sailor Moon or something that has nothing to do with lore..that's when my eyes tend to start rolling.
