Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is set in a fantasy world named Hydaelyn. The Twelve are Hydaelyn's gods, who evolved out of the Mothercrystal, a sentient crystal. Players start in one of three city-states in the game world and explore. As in other MMORPGs, players can take on different roles. The main enemy is the Garlean Empire.

Most of these games have specific savepoints or locations, with varying times in between them.

Although not much is maintained from game to game in the way of storyline, there are a few broad categories that we can discuss with kids:

Do you identify with the protagonists of these games? What about them causes you to identify with them or not?

Have you ever seen the technology/magic dichotomy in other fantasy series? Do you think this is something unique to Final Fantasy?
