Where does "Will they confirm this takes place in the same universe as FFX-2?" fall on this scale?

Yeah there is always at least an air of something being special about the player, it is an RPG after all so the kind of has to put you in the center of important events, if nothing else. RoV definitely does away with any pretense though, just going YOU'RE SO SPECIAL I TRAVELED TIME TO FIND YOU

FFXIV starts with a goddess talking to you directly because you're super special and awesome and you have magic powers almost nobody else has. XI starts with you wandering into town and a local guard going "lmao this loser looks lost"

I think a large part of it is that the player character in XI remains just a regular adventurer up until arguably around WotG. Granted they're involved in lots of world-threatening events, but they're not anyone special or destined for greatness or anything like that.

There's some debate among ffxi lore nerds about Prishe's exact age - some estimates put her as being 60~80, or even older!

PRISHE IS 30+ YEARS OLD?!?!

Nah, I say we lock Emet Selch in a room with the little gremlin

Prishe the enabler
I can't not multi-ship lmao

Prishe knows ;)
