10 Types of Roleplayers in FFXIV

[@golvic1436]

My RP character- no tragedy in the past. Became an adventurer by accident because she can’t say no when someone asks for help. She is a bright ray of sunshine and happiness who just does not understand negativity and is innocent and clueless to a fault. Playing this character has actually made me a better person in real life because for hours a night I am forced to find the most joyful option even if someone is being toxic and it has started to bleed into real life.

[@thepurpleshade486]

for every edgelord we need a bouncy baby, thank you for your service in the face of horror

[@GayDemiDemiboy]

My character is bright and happy, but has a dark backstory lmaoo

[@morganblackpowder1724]

You forgot type 11: The face character! People who role play as well known NPC's. They are either a joy or a curse...

[@Grayald]

I hate those. But I rarely see them, fortunately. Like very rarely. What I have seen quite frequently though are people actually trying to roleplay the warrior of light. Or some other unreasonably prominent position.

[@morganblackpowder1724]

@@Grayald I can understand that, and can speculate as to why you don't like them. I actually like Face Characters because, when done correctly, they can take the need for someone to be a Mary Sue away. They'll take all of the over-poweredness in the scene so your character can be more normal.

[@Hoovinoyse]

Flashbacks to the Thancred facer who wasted everyone'se time trying to solo the second boss of Castrum Lacus Litore and wasted EVERYONE'S time since it was almost a full wipe. We actually timed out. No one cares how good of a tank you are solo, we are ALL LYING HERE DEAD AFTER WAITING AN HOUR TO GET IN

[@ode-blu]

I once met a haucherfant. As soon as I greeted him he gave me a hot chocolate, bowed and went on his way. It was fun

[@ryanhenderson8594]

I saw an Y'shtola RPer in Limsa earlier this week. She was chill.

[@Grey_Shard]

You forgot one. The D&Der. They've played RPGs for years (or decades) and do up backstories, motivations, fears and dislikes and family trees. They may have made alts for important characters in their main's backstory. They'll not dip into the RPing they'll do a full swan dive like they're auditioning for Hollywood. They will complain about the bland taste of healing potions... I know. I am one.

[@Arcanua]

Nah they got covered with the DnD person who tend to RP as another OC they've had for a while...they do exactly what you just mentioned on top of what Avy said about them lol

[@TheEdo789]

Bumping this as a fellow D&Der who left WoW RP more than a year ago just to randomly ask: Does FFIV have dice rolls or does at least the RP scene have a variant of dice-based combat?

[@SooperHam.]

@@TheEdo789 yes and yes. The command is /random. There are many long running combat events that use dice based combat, such as the grindstone tournament, which has been meeting every week for over 10 years.

Being a male thighlander with gray hair, I usually roleplay as a grandpa thighlander who's way too enthusiastically into fitness and always try and get people to workout and improve their lives. Because of me, nearly all of my FC mates and buddies are constantly talking about fitness or do any of the Squadron workout emotes whenever they see me in-game now. One of them even dedicated their FC Room to creating a gym for me. It's been like this for nearly 2 years now. Some even started going to the gym or picked up physical activities IRL and they would always gleefully tell me about it on Discord whenever they did it. I had a rough past and hitting the gym was the catalyst that turned my life around. Since then, working out became a lifestyle and it has helped me so much that it's almost second nature to me now. I can literally say, with absolutely seriousness, that hitting the gym has turned my life around for the better. It also molded my personality into something more charismatic and confident and, because of how immersive FF14 is, I projected that personality into my character. I first started doing it because I found it funny and entertaining, but after realizing how much my extraverted personality could affect others and how much of a positive impact I had on some people, I ended up falling in love with RPing as a Fitness Grandpa. I simply wanted to share this little story. For some people, RPing in the game is just a fun way to pass time. For others, it can nearly change their lives. You are, at the end of the day, interacting with other real people online and making a real impact on their emotions. I will forever continue to play up this online persona because I know I can do some good and that brings me more joy than anything in the world. Sure, I've ran into my fair share of people who find it annoying because, for some reasons, a lot of people are extremely pessimistic towards anyone who enjoys talking about their hobbies. Especially when said hobby happens to be working out. But I don't care, I just move on. I know I'm helping some people out there and that's what matters. Edit: I should probably mention that no, I'm not a grandpa IRL. Just hit my 30s. I simply absolutely love the idea of an elder still working the weights at an old age. It's like spitting in the face of time, going against all odds, defying the rule that old people should be weak and brittle, taking human willpower to the next level and staying strong even with Death knocking at your door, I think that's incredibly badass and something I strive to be IRL as well. Every time I run into an older person at the gym, I always feel so much respect for them.

It's okay to have preferences, it only becomes a problem when you impose those preferences on other players. Words to live by.

[@Subjekt14]

Fun thing, my friend group has our own RP Canon. When our sprout friend made it to Shadowbringers, two of us roleplayed as our "first" counterparts and played through the whole expansion building a narrative alongside the Canon story of the expansion. It was actually really fun and I'd suggest it to others as well, especially if you're doing a newgame+ playthrough.

[@ProfessM]

Clever idea!

[@islarekola4031]

I have done The same thing For The entire story of ffxiv with a friend. There used to Be 3 of us on realm reborn but one dropped off The game for Life reasons and we had this really lovely Set of scenes with them deciding to settle down instead of adventuring. Me and The other friend have continued with our own story on The side of The game Canon For 2 years now and are about halfway to endwalker. The journey has genuinely made us love our story/universe and The characters that exist in It are our babies. It's an absolute blast with The right people☺️

[@gethygethy]

Not ashamed to admit that I am to a degree an elitist. But I'll be the first to say - It's very important for any type to surround yourself with like minded individuals when RPing, and treat each other kindly! Is just a game and fun as you said!

[@mippa]

Fellow Elitist-Slash-Depressing Adventurer here! It's 100% true and I'm completely in agreement! I don't waste others' time if they don't vibe with what I am looking for in RP. It's just as much out of consideration for their free time as it is for mine!

[@Grayald]

100%

[@vtheman1850]

Absolutely, I love lore abiding roleplay because it sets a baseline/expectation. Are there people who take it to far? Absolutely "You can't be an Isghardian/Hingan Miqo'te" etc. There are also people who take it too far... in the other direction too.

[@Venjamin]

I would love to try and step into the rp scene in ff14. I’m so anxious of people but I love to make new friends and I would love my WoL Au’Ra to make friends. I am still new to the game but it’s such a wonderful experience.

[@taekwonnick]

The best part of working at a roleplay venue is how many different people you get to talk to. You get to hear so many interesting character stories, try out so many different types of RP, and get to help new RPers break into the scene. I personally work as a bartender and it is one of the best times I've ever had doing RP. Customers usually come to the bar because they want to either RP and don't have anyone to go out with, or they are new and want to check out the scene. Either way, the interactions are usually very fun and rewarding./

[@Nempo13]

It can be fun to be a regular at those places. It becomes like cheers when you walk in.

[@OneBiasedOpinion]

I ran into one of your kind last week when I dipped my toes into Mogstock for the first time. It was the only RP I engaged in that day and it was amazing because the subject matter was light and easy and it allowed me to feel like I was contributing to the atmosphere as much as the server was. Thanks for what you guys and gals do!

[@Koyu_Ruh]

I am surprised you didn't call the "3 am Limsa Lominsa earns 10 mil gil in a single night Miqo'te twink" (or Mystel if you want to excite people a bit more with your knowledge of lore) out! . . . N-not like I would know or how I got enough to get a medium sized plot in Kugane! I wouldn't do such a thing and forever taint the lore of my character! (Good thing I saved up the Fantasia phiole for later when I get tired of that). I swear, Limsa Lominsa will never be the same to me.

[@TheAvantia]

This is very accurate, I chuckled at the creep one (And a male au ra playing the creep is clever!) I am a veteran rper from WoW since Burning Crusade, then left from BfA to explore FFXIV. Never went back to wow after that. I am the Pillar flower, not because I am shy or anything, but because It's hard to engage with someone without them being either a erper, one show host or an elitist. Am the type of rper that has been through DnD campigns, being dm host in wow and creating stories. Just want to give out a good storytelling for other rpers to enjoy and build there characters. Unfortunately, there isn't really a good group of rpers that have that sort of mindsent, everywhere I see are copy and paste of generic brothels, nightclubs, and Venues... To me i find venues or erping unenjoyable, it's not really rp when your dancing the bees kness for 4-6 hours without talking to a person. Maybe I havn't looked hard enough back then? In any case, there is that no lack thereof and thought I would give up finding rp. Surprisingly, am now running as guild leader and DM for my FC. We have our own campign and is still going strong, am quite happy were I am now and have good friends that I can trust to thank for that.

[@bluezhift]

Clubber here, seems pretty accurate. I didn't really start out as an RPer but clubbing exposed me to RP in a relatively relaxed and fun fashion that made the whole clubbing experience even more fun! I even learned a bit of enhanced roleplay that way, for research purposes of course! (from a Mentor at that! what a game!)

[@GbrBy]

I also fit snugly into that particular category

[@partyzapper]

[@brightestbiscuit3918]

My friend has a joke character on Black Mage that's a male roegadyn, max height, wielding one of the smallest wands the job has access to (we call it a pen), and we have decided to paint him as this force of nature that appears and vanishes on a whim, teaching us ignorant disciples the magic of arcana. A summoner, a Red Mage, and a Scholar, all disciples of this cryptid, sage entity. It just so happens that my Scholar glamour has the same robe as he once did, so we headcanon that he handed it down to me after he shrunk it in the laundry and it no longer fit him. That's the best kind of roleplay if you ask me.

[@OneBiasedOpinion]

Please tell me he dresses up as Godbert. It would be so perfect.

[@Ashnekoaiii]

I've always been a heavy battle content player for the years ive played, but lately ive met some people that have opened me up to the CASUAL RP scene (mostly visiting venues they work at and just sitting at a cafe). Since then, I've met the best of people. Yeah there's weird shit, but overall its not as bad as people make it sound

[@OneBiasedOpinion]

This is where I’m entering at as well. I’m playing the game for the content, but there are some genuinely good venues and events that the RP community works very hard to put on and I’ve found a great deal of enjoyment visiting them.

[@haroldtrei]

Awww I was hoping to be in the video just walking around randomly in the background, I've been getting into roleplay for a few days now at the quicksands, maybe next time x3

[@YourAnxietyStream]

The accuracy is too real.

[@FishSkeleton-]

I dealt with a 'Creep' type female roleplayer earlier this year, and oh boy was it just... a lot. She was constantly talking about how she thought I was such a great guy IRL and she was super into me and she just wishes she could meet a guy who's into long distance relationships, but also she thinks my character is super hot and by the way here's a wall of text ERP emote on Discord out of nowhere and I'm just sitting there thinking "could our characters just meet and have coffee or go on a little adventure first, without anything about either of us IRL?" Passive-aggressive messages when I joined an FC other than their own, or if any characters were around my own with him targeted, and just... yeah.

[@kyubeycoobie3568]

[@ode-blu]

That was.. enlightening in some ways that I haven't expected hahahah As a crystal player not very involved in RP, I always find amusing when people interact with me. It's fun to know there are many other ways to enjoy a game I love.

[@JayHog1992]

Am guilty of the second one. I often just show up at the quick sand, sit down at a table alone, sometimes use a few emotes within minutes of spacing (Using that time to relax and watch some youtube as well) and if nothing interesting happens after X time or nobody thinks to at least ask me the weather, I just up and leave, this while staying in character. (To be fair, I'm shy and an introvert IRL as well, so it's an issue that drips into RP sadly.) 5th one, I kinda get it. Sometimes we don't always want to sound like the chosen one that every game has us act as. So being the background NPC for others can be an appealing factor, so long as minor attention is given. Like, if two people start a fight, I'd be happy to react to enhance the lore of others. So having people pretend to have jobs can spice things up for others. 6th one, I am guilty of having a character meant to be a villain, I'm hoping that I can enhance her by making her a goofy kind of villain, so people can take me half serious, while trying to have a laugh at what I can do. Basically something akin to Team Rocket levels of villany. I wonder if being that one bard that just plays music in public places to spice the environment counts as the 5th one or is a separate reason?

[@mascotvt]

[@blazethecat363]

my character Ashelia has been through hell. but she doesn't dump it on people. in fact she's very closed off about her past. if asked she shuts tighter than a clam on the matter. she's an adventurer to try and get strong enough to free the land she rules by birthright. of course she's also got her dotharl blood making her a spitfire. not to mention she's made many friends and developed a very complex network for intel. over her time adventuring she's picked up quite a few skillsets too. though her big gripe is the horrid taste of healing potions

Essential RP worker here. I was shy and sooooo intimidated with roleplaying at first! Never done it in any game before. But a FC mate introduced me to it by inviting me to go with a group from our FC to another FC's spa. Now I bartend at his fight club. Playing an employee type role in an RP setting can give some much needed structure to some of us beginners who feel a bit in over our head in RPing. 😅

[@Cagicajagi]

As a venue roleplayer from time to time, it's essentially nice to set a less intimidating backdrop so people coming feel like they're not challenged and can relax in an authentic setting. More often than not, things will eventually drop an occasional pissing contest in terms of power or backstory, so having a chill bartender or barista to listen to you and commentate is an experience a lot of people enjoy. Some venues will use venue staff as a front to show off the owner's "super cool edgy" plot hooks, but people are usually around for the bubbly bartender.

[@lycalohex]

i love the editing so much, lmfao. super glad i stumbled upon your channel! you're a hidden gem!

[@EsShinkai02]

Once upon a time, I visited a house in the Mist that had a special room for the WoL. The FC that owned it used "Warrior of Light" as a rotating referee position for their RPs. If you were that day's WoL, you had to sit your character is this tiny closet of a room, where your chat was visible but you weren't. You couldn't speak directly in the RP, but you got to decide what was and wasn't canon that day. I didn't hang out with them long enough to see it in practice, but it was . . . interesting, to say the least.

I started rping in the club scene and oh boy was that interesting. I fell off it but trying to get back into it-- just hard finding good rpers lol. I like the different stories not just... erp 😂 also yes I love torturing my character lmao

[@Ba1k3n]

Honestly, i love 14's story and it's world, but at the end of the day? I enjoy RPing with a Lalafell that has glasses, grey hair and wears the Thavnarian autumn dress who speaks in a thick Limsan accent. I get joy when not running content out of playing that little old lady with stories to tell of her younger years.

[@Desdayo]

the creep isnt a creep he is just in the Chase women at night Grindset

[@loweroctavemommy]

Not gonna lie, RPing as a club owner (specifically the Moonlit Reverie in Mateus) has led to some very interesting aspects, like the mob! And illegal trades!

[@larsbohmer6319]

I'm very reluctant to start roleplaying in 14 myself duo to the Nature of my Character(s), the Siblings Izanagi and Izanami. Because most might be weirded out if they actually get to know their Lore, which I ain't shoving in People's Faces. If they don't ask about it the right way or get closer with them, they never gonna know

[@tickledpickle5671]

shit. I can be both the wall-leaner, and the depressing adventurer on my main... I feel SO called out... At least folks I RP with on her, and even complete strangers still get captivated by the level of detail and thought I put into her... that's worth SOMETHING, right guys? right? >.>

[@gotmomoffebay]

hey keep the good videos coming

[@TheReconSpecialist]

Huh, need to show my friend this. He’s a sprout yet has been Roleplaying for about over half a decade which is how I encountered him. I rarely if ever Roleplay on 14, for the sheer fact I lack a keyboard as of time of writing (PlayStation, whoopee!) However he’s been wanting to get into it, to try and make an adventuring RP Group. ...Now I feel a bit evil but I showed him on some alts, the utter hell of Balmung and gave him the rundown of what to avoid for his own sanity’s sake. May the Lord have mercy on his soul once he finally finds a Roleplaying group that also like the adventuring aspect. - Also, is it bad that even though I myself avoid Roleplaying with others, I made a full on backstory for my character, and it falls into both the ‘Bad Guy’ and ‘Depressed Adventurer’ archetypes as a result? I really need to stop making villains, but the Garleans have the drip and lore. Damn you Square Enix! EDIT; I just realised I wrote a text wall. Goddamnit.

[@KumiChan2004]

My main has little back story. But she spends time drinking, mostly booze, and encouraging people to stay hydrated while adventuring. Aka. Half drunk cat girl saved multiple countries, lands, worlds, and people. Ohh and the universe.

[@dalgona4819]

First time my WoL actually encountered RP was...in the Wolves' Den of all places lmao. I was chilling there just finished Frontlines when a Viera and a Lalafell approached. The Viera(? iirc) was doting on me and the Lalafell outta nowhere asked "Are you here to kill too?" I wish I could've RPd as well but I was caught off guard. I only waved goodbye and left XD

[@RinnyMiqo]

WHEEZE As a WoL rper I can say not all of us have god armor but He do be stupidly strong for all the wrong reasons xDDD Ive never seen a video more honest yet funny at the same time. ALSO NOT YOU USIN AN AURA FOR THE CREEEEEP. IM weaaaaak xD it rlly do be the xaelas tho, it rlly do XDDDD

[@AppleJacksCereal]

Lol I’m the pillar flower. I have an extensive backstory that gets some compliments but I’m too scared to walk up lol.

[@beebee8217]

I admit my main is a bit of the last character describe. HENCE why i dont rp with them and only rp on my alts. My main is my little mary sue op wol and i love them for that.

[@leshie687]

Cute video ✨ ! Roleplaying looks really fun. Unfortunately I’m just not a FFXIV player. 😵 And love all the emotes they are essential in an mmo!

[@joripien]

Lol I don't do much roleplay so I wasn't expecting to find myself in one of these but you got me good with the clubber, that's me 100%

[@venanreviews]

I can confirm I've remained ever a Pillar Flower as I'm terrified of everyone being either The Creep or The Depressing Adventurer. :')

[@pink2526]

I love your channel everything is so cute and well said. Inspired me to keep trying FF14 to be honest even though I don't roleplay it definitely seems to me a neat pass time :)

[@thecaptain8402]

Y'know, ive always just had my different jobs tell a different story each time i fall in love with the job. Mainly just because i love the way my aura looks, and man. Its nice to make a kinda in game canon of the different shades of "what if..?" And man, its satisfying to just live as them. I dunno.
