You think role playing is fun in a game like Final Fantasy XI.

Murphie · 07-25-2006, 12:33 PM

I do?

I think role playing is fun in a game like Final Fantasy XI.

Sorry, I used to do the same thing in acting class. Repeating.

I always roleplay. Really fun in macros.

/ja "Tachi: Jinpu" <t>
/p "You Deserve no Mercy." <Tachi: Jinpu> 124%

Normal RP is really easy, my character is a loner who doesn't talk much... ^^ Then I ruin it with some crude humor.

I am personally not fond of role-playing. I like communicating with people on a "real-life" level.

DemonicRiku · 07-25-2006, 01:12 PM

I like to cause it fun to forget about real life sometime.

This thread is very confusing.

(that's why I moved it to off topics)

I believe the original poster intended his post as a question. It probably was supposed to be something like this:

but he forgot to include the "Do" and "?"

go figure

I prefer to read it as an accusation. It adds to the surreal feeling.

Omniblast · 07-25-2006, 01:40 PM

I do this whenever I can.

/em sticks <t>'s tail in his mouth.
Whenever I meet a mithra.

or if it's a galka I type in
/em surfs on <t>'s tail.

Tails are so much fun...

Tail ftw.

My FFXI RP is limited to the in-game emotes that are available. Sometimes I type my own, but they are rarely very creative.

I hate myself.

Edit > To stay on topic...

*You think roleplaying is fun in a game like Final Fantasy XI*

*You decide walking to the next village*

*While walking down the road you see a cavern*

You...

-Go check the cavern out, maybe you'll find a Tiger to kill and get some leather/bonecraft items.

-Wonder why are you walking to the next village... "Am I trying to get my next medal for the poke tour...nvm"

-Think this is more like a crappy D&D session and stop reading...

How did he know! But really, why would you roleplay if not for fun? I'm sure thats the whole point of it. I must say, in the old text based muds roleplay was the norm, I find it unusual this hasn't transferred over to MMOs. I guess the awsome graphics and storylines they have take away the need to conjure up a fantasy world through roleplay. It's a pity, I haven't been in a single bar brawl in FFXI.. there's plenty of taverns, what's holding us back?

Role playing has it's place, sometimes it work and sometimes it doesn't in ffxi, depends on who you are around.

dirtyclown · 08-08-2006, 06:24 PM

I'm always in character. I play as a 19 year old who plays this game. I'm boring.

Actually, I never say anything serious ingame. I always have something to comment on, and most times my LS tells me to just shut the hell up and tank, or they have no idea what I'm talking about.
