in-game, ffxiv rp is more like wow rp in that there's a quiet rule that no, you're not the chosen one, and if you try to rp the chosen one you'll just get ignored while people rp around you

but here yes people get upset about which one of their blorbos is the TRUE blorbo, which has definitely contributed to their rep. as much as other malleable protags may be annoying, i've only ever see wols do that.
