Apparently the RPG has a suggestion to restart the encounter if the players are eliminated during a combat encounter. What do you think of this? Does retrying encounters make sense in an RPG, or only in a video game?

I'm not sure right now the full extent of races will eventually become. I think it will just start out with the races already in the video game, which would be a good and relevant start for the Final Fantasy XIV TTRPG. I want to see stuff like the Qu, the Seeq, and Chocobo as playable races soon afterwards if they aren't already in the game. I wonder if they will implement races such as the Moogle, any beast tribe races that aren't playable, and possibly even Ivalice based races such the Seeq as I think they appeared in Final Fantasy XIV before. Eventually they might expand I don't think they would go as far as making low powered versions of monsters like the Malboro, though there might be something like the Chocobuddy race from pathFinal Fantasy because Chocobos are a marketable part of the Final Fantasy franchise and I think people would be excited to be able to play as one. I don't think the selection will end up being restricted permanently to the playable seven or so races in the video game, and I hope it isn't that limited even at the end of the system's life.

I'm pretty sure they won't add races such as pathFinal Fantasy's Embodied race or the Palico race from Final Fantasy D20 because those aren't owned by Square Enix, and they would need to seek out permission to add to their systems.

I think I would try out one of the mage classes first since I like magical spells. Likely the white mage too.

I am interested in getting the Starter Set first, then check out the Standard Rulebook for what classes and stuff it has. What about you?

I have heard of both pathFinal Fantasy and Final Fantasy D20 beforehand. I expect both to lose some popularity as the first official Final Fantasy TTRPG system gets released. Final Fantasy D20 has fallen out of favor for me due to more interesting character options in pathFinal Fantasy and controversies related to FFD20, after discovering the latter on GameFAQs.

I was interested in getting a physical book for this game and turns out there was a fundraiser for a special anniversary version of the book on Kickstarter. Did you back it too?
