Resumo: The objective of this paper is to investigate the presence of cultural markers in roleplay, specifically in MMORPGs, and to discuss them based on the existing literature. We started the research with the textual and paratextual elements that relate to the game, such as in-game elements created by the players – scenarios, clothes, skins – and off-game elements, such as screenshots and comments from players on social networks – in order to analyze the unfolding of their uses, be them intentional or not. Taking as the object of study the Facebook group "Final Fantasy – XIV Brasil", we observe how some of these markers manifest and relate to roleplay, in addition to identifying their influence on social aspects of the group and on the Brazilian community of Final Fantasy XIV players as a whole.

Comenzamos con la búsqueda de los elementos textuales y paratextuales que se relacionan con el juego, como los elementos del juego creados por los jugadores (escenarios, ropa, skins) y elementos fuera del juego, como capturas de pantalla y comentarios de jugadores en redes sociales, para analizar el desarrollo de sus usos, intencionales o no. Tomando como objeto el grupo de Facebook "Final Fantasy – XIV Brasil", observamos cómo algunos de estos marcadores se manifiestan y se relacionan con el roleplay, además de identificar su influencia en los aspectos sociales del grupo y en la comunidad brasileña de jugadores de Final Fantasy XIV en su conjunto.O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar a presença de marcadores culturais no roleplay, especificamente em MMORPGs, e discuti-los com base na literatura existente.
