Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

people are acting like these were missing parts of the original game and SE is a cackling evil game company that wants to milk out the game as much as possible. having played the episodes, these 100% would not have fit into the original game without it getting clunky and bloated. there is zero stuff in the character episodes that is 100% necessary to fully enjoying the original.

prompto's origin reveal comes totally out of left field. episode ignis and episode gladio were pretty superfluous in terms of plot details but they both had elements that should have been in the main story.

maybe playing from their perspective was out of place but they clearly kept some vital backstory behind lock and key for a reason. they could've better integrated that exposition into the plot instead of dumping it behind a paywall. not to mention the fact that their mechanics weren't even done when the game launched.

its a miracle we got the game at all but it was an unfinished product when it launched and remains an unfinished product now.

vital backstory? really? you mean your entire enjoyment of ffxv hinged on knowing prompto's origins? because the parts of his backstory that actually matter are in the main game.

tell me, how much do we learn about the backstory's of the average ff party member? do we learn anything about steiner's childhood? do we ever see how cyan met his wife? do we ever learn how lulu came to live on besaid?

anon, *nothing* in the character episodes was essential to the main game. it was nice to have, but it was not "vital", get real. you're confusing info that helps you RP a character with what actually makes for good storytelling in a work of complete fiction.
