  1. This video was way too hard to find and deserves more attention. this helped me an extreme amount and gave me the info i was specifically looking for that other videos didnt while also wasting absolutely ZERO of my time. also entertaining. ToT

    I just wanted to know how to make my own emote text for my macro's and transformations or rez heals.
    Other vids i found or was trying to use to find about it didnt help like this one.

  2. Holy Shit I recognize you! I had a character on Crystal that I would use come into your bar every so often. I don't have that character anymore but I heard your name and was like "Oh yeah!"

  3. Actually started to RP today (more like a person forced it on me but they were nice about it) and got a good bit of lore set up for my character out of it. I didn't do any complicated things yet as I'm still new but eventually I will.

    It's honestly better than what someone did earlier, where they wanted to fuck my character (can't blame them, she's a highlander hottie) and then it got weird when they asked "Does she have a dick?"

    Obviously this didn't impact my RP experience because well, she's not made for ERP, just world building RP

  4. Great tips! I’ve only roleplayed like once but it might be something I try more of later. I still remember the first I walked into a venue. I just wanted to look at houses and now I feel like an actor who forgot their lines😂. The venue owner was very understanding thankfully

  5. I already rp outside of FFXIV (usual on twitter)
    and yeah it's more the "spicy" types of rp or at least focus on it (I have still manners and enjoy non lewd stuff)
    But a problem is: my character are usual moer simple like (not that there can't grow stories and multiple episodes of rps with someone),
    but like there isn't a structure, there isn't really a big backstory or like a fixed approach how my character is – it's flexible
    and so idk how it would be in FFXIV as I often hear that you need backstory and a own character who is consistent + I'm shy and somehow at twitter is easier to write
    as you can take your time >-<

  6. thanks for teaching me about /em I had seen a few people do it (my first instance was someone saying something along the lines of /em gives a lali-let's-hope-we-don't-all-die-ho! and it cracked me up) this video was at the top of the suggestions when I looked up custom emotes, good work!

  7. i know this video is old but tysm for this!!! for some reason all the beginner guides assume you know what ffxiv rp looks like, but coming off of forum rp and having never played an mmo before i was EXTREMELY confused. the examples in this video were super helpful!!
