** Interestingly, they don't think much of you for it. In Eorzea, 'Adventurer' seems to be akin in laymen's eyes to 'dirty, violent, feckless, job-stealing vagrant'.
* [[Anti-Poopsocking]]: There are a number of features that attempt to make the game more "casual friendly" and reduce the ability of "hardcore" players to outpace those playing more casually or with less time to play. These include:
** <code>Guardian's Favor:</code> Points can be spent, upon initiating a quest, to increase Discipline experience income until the objectives are complete. Burns out if used at every possible opportunity over more than a couple of days and has to be allowed to regenerate. This was replaced in patch 1.21 with an inn, where you get an experience boost from resting in a private room.
** <code>Anima:</code> Allows free and instantaneous teleportation to any Aetherite a player has previously visited, and any Aetherial Node from its associated Aetherite. Again, burns out if used repeatedly, which leaves the option of either paying another player to teleport you in their party or walking, or using one of the alternative methods of transport such as riding a chocobo or an airship. Anima can now be manually recharged by turning in contributions to Hamlet Defense.
** <code>Fatigue:</code> The most significant and controversial system, which essentially reduced your intake of experience/skill points in each class based on progression speed, up to a weekly cap. Regardless of the original intention of the developers to keep hardcore and casual players on an even keel, this system was very unpopular and taken out entirely in patch 1.18.
* [[Back Stab]]: Attacking monsters from behind gives you various bonuses such as an increased critical hit chance.
* [[Badass]]: Gaius van Baelsar. His first appearance involves him fighting {{spoiler|Yda, Papalymo, Thancred, Y'shtola and the player's Path Companion}} all at the same time. And he doesn't even get hit once, while his enemies have to protect each other and pretty much do their best to avoid turning the battle into a [[Curb Stomp Battle]].
