Shenanigans (with @confusedtia)

#ffxiv #I'm but a fishie #no responsibility #only swim

Okay. As long as I'm thinking about FFXIV today, here's a question for my fellow players. If you have played and have a decent memory of most (if not all) of the base ARR starting jobs, I'd be curious to know!

Which starter job has the most lore relevant (or lore interesting) story? And/or, which job gives you the most context for the world at large?

CNJ / WHM (Padjal & elementals)

ARC / BRD (Racism & moogles)

LNC / DRG (More racism & bonus Estinien)

ACN / SMN / SCH (Pirates, magic theory, and Nymian history)

MRD / WAR (Monster hunting)

THM / BLM (All Void, all the time)

PGL / MNK (Fighting & Ala Mhigo)

GLD / PLD (More fighting & political corruption)

Remaining time: 4 days 17 hours

... no, there's no bald option, and I know if I open it up to anything beyond base game this will turn into more waxing poetic about the DRK storyline, which is legit but not the question I'm asking. I'm more curious about what starter class you think provides the most immersion into the overall ARR story, if any!

what drugs did they put in ffxiv to make you so obsessed with your WoL. Im utterly insane about her

#enough to hook you #then there's plenty of ''blank'' in them so you'd be able to imagine your own character #it's like bases on DeviantArt back in the day #FFXIV

the only thing i want from evercold is a geralt-style bathing scene with estinien to forever destroy the misconception that he doesn't bathe or is stinky.

totally not for any other reason.

It's actually canon that one of Estinien's favorite things is bathing, as mentioned in a side story. When he stayed in Hingashi for some time, he would go to the hot springs a lot, and would snack on dried squid while doing so.

If you count Firmament item flavor text as canon though, its everyone else in ishgard who has no idea what soap is.

It feels to me as if Firmament also mentioned him or rather alluded he was fond of new swimming/bathing area. But I might be misremembering.

Also I must say. Absolutely do not count skybuilders items flavour text as canon. It doesn't exist practically anywhere but eng. So basically it's just a translation team having a bit of fun.
