  • his home treated him as honorable and other cultures don’t

    Not the point of the story, when NPCs get to know who the character is theirs opinion changes

    it wasn’t because they mistook him for being the kind of person you get to do that to

    That is actually almost what happened. If he was not a mage, that story point would change little.

    The “mages are slaves” thing is more akin to FF6’s “there is no magic in this world”, like it is a somewhat big deal that Terra is mage, but game doesn’t spend much time there since it is not a point.


  • Your character is not a slave. (Spoilers limited to promotional materials) Player character is the oldest son of the ruler of one of the major countries in the game world, so a prince. Ability to wield (very specific) magic is quickly explained that some of the nobles of that family can do. He somewhat is a slave at some point, but this is a very brief story moment (tbf at the very beginning, you meet your character as a slave before he goes into childhood memory where he is a prince). When relevant, NPCs do interact with character as with slave, but its rarely relevant. So it is very much a background theme, even if a major one.


  • how do things like the feeds work?

    So what actually happens under the hood is when one instance communicates first time with another instance it builds some local cache of that remote instance. Then, when you open “All”, you get everything from your local instance + things cached/requested from other instances. Admins can defederate an instance, in which case you would not see anything from it.

    Since there’s no algorithm is everything from Lemmy.world only going to show up on the popular feed (if I’m on that instance) or can other things like lemmy.ee or whatever also show up?

    Everything federated will show up.

    And can I comment on posts from a different instance or does that vary per instance?

    If federated, you can both see and post both posts and comments on any instance from your home one.

    could Lemmy theoretically allow content from those instances to be cross-posted here?

    It could. More than that, Mastodon users currently can both subscribe to Lemmy instances and post/comment. It looks kinda weird since they mention post author/community or whomever they answer to in a comment, since they see it as if it looked like Twitter.
