FFXIV Survey

[PCAJZA80]

Character Info 1:

What is the name of your primary character? How did you come up with that name?
- Pascal Rosenthal. At the time, I was finishing up Tales of Graces f and loved Pascal's playstyle and her character. "Rosenthal" came from a military corporation in Armored Core 4/Answer.

What is the Race/Tribe of your primary character? Why did you pick that?
- I've changed Pascal's race multiple times (Midlander Hyur at the moment), but she started out as a Highlander Hyur. I chose Highlander Hyur at first because of their strong facial features and because you can actually see muscle tone on them with the sliders. Originally was going to choose a Sea Wolf Roegadyn, but I couldn't find a skin tone that I was happy with.

What is the primary class/job of your primary character? Why did you pick that?
-Monk. I'm usually really lazy, but I like playing busy jobs because it keeps me on my toes. It's also why I prefer to play Warrior over Paladin.

Which Grand Company is your primary character a part of? Why did you pick that?
-Maelstrom. Because i love the ocean... and Merlwyb is pretty awesome.

What is your primary character's weapon glamour of choice (if applicable)? Why did you pick that?
-On monk, I don't glamour my weapons. However, if i could make it so it looks like I'm fighting barehanded, I'd totally do that.

What do you think your primary character's signature ability is? Why do you think that?
-Hmm... probably Steel Peak. I always keep an eye out for any moves that can be stunned just in case the Tank's stun isn't up.

Is your primary character a part of a Free Company? If so, what is it? Why did you join that Free Company?
- Warlord of the MIst. A friend from my old FC invited me, and so far it's a pretty chill FC.

Character Info 2 (RP):

Where did your primary character come from? How do they feel about where they came from?
-Limsa Lominsa born and raised.

Does your primary character have any family? Who are they? What is their relationship with your primary character?
-No known blood relatives, but the people she calls family are her friends Gavino Krepar and Waylon Tristapan and the man who raised her, Mercutio Braddock.

What does your primary character look like? Why do they look like they do? What kinds of clothing does your character wear? Why did your primary character pick those clothes?
- http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/339458/ As long as her movement isn't restricted, she's fine with whatever.

What is your primary character's personality? What do they like? What do they dislike? What are they afraid of? What makes them happy? What makes them sad? What makes them angry?
- Quiet, loyal, but quick to anger. She loves getting into fights where the odds are against her and hates it when people go easy on her. She's afraid of being alone so she hangs around giant crowds, even if she dislikes everyone around her.

Does your primary character have a backstory? Were there any interesting events in their past that led them to become the people they are today?
-Learning the way of the fist as a means for survival, she quickly earned a reputation befitting of the saltiest of pirates. But beneath Pascal's hardened exterior conceals a shy woman looking for acceptance from others and a place to belong.

The World 1 (Geography):

What is your favorite region of Eorzea? Why is that? Least Favorite? Why?
-It'd have to be La Noscea simply because it's the nicest to look at. As for least, it'd be Black Shroud because of Sylphlands.

What is your favorite spot to relax in Eorzea? Why is that? Least Favorite? Why?
-I usually hang around the Mist, either at the beach or inside my FC room. It's nice and quiet, and watching the sunrise/sunset is beautiful there. Least favorite would have to be Mor Dhona. Don't like all the crystals everywhere and that weird fog.

What is your favorite spot to fight in Eorzea? Why is that? Least Favorite? Why?
-Carteneau Flats (Frontlines!). When it gets chaotic, that's when it's most fun. Least favorite would have to be Sunken Temple of Qarn, because the dungeon sucks.

What is your favorite spot to shop in Eorzea? Why is that? Least Favorite? Why?
-The Marketboard in front of our FC House. So close to home! I'd have to say Grindania is my least favorite, but that's because I'm rarely in Gridania.

The World 2 (NPCs):

Who is your favorite NPC? Why is that? Least Favorite? Why?
- Yda because she's adorably crazy. But with Lucia introduced, that may change. I don't think I could choose my least favorite...

Who is your favorite City-State Leader? Why is that? Least Favorite? Why?
-I could say Merlwyb... But I'd have to give it to Raubahn for his "rags-to-riches" backstory. Respect. Kan-e-Senna would have to be my least favorite, but that doesn't mean I don't like her. I like all of them! ...Just some more than others.

Who is your favorite Scion? Why is that? Least Favorite? Why?
-Yda. See above. Urianger, he just seems bland, but i'm glad they gave him some character with the introduction of Moenbryda.

Who is your favorite Primal? Why is that? Least Favorite? Why?
-Ramuh is my favorite for his GLORIOUS beard. Leviathan would be my least because his introduction just didn't sit well with me. They all look pretty cool though!

Who is your favorite boss? Why is that? Least Favorite? Why?
-Favorite boss goes to the two dragons at the end of Stone Vigil HM. fun fight! As for least favorite, it'd have to be Lahabrea in story missions.

Music:

What is your favorite song in FFXIV? Why is that? Least Favorite? Why?
Favorite: Final Job Quest ThemeIt's one of those "all or nothing" feelings.
Least favorite would be the Sylphlands. God i hate that place.

What is your favorite battle theme in FFXIV? Why is that? Least Favorite? Why?
-See above. Don't really have a least favorite battle track.

What is your favorite field/town theme in FFXIV? Why is that? Least Favorite? Why?
-Limsa Lominsa {Night} because it's the closest to San D'oria's Bagpipes. Least Favorite would be Revanant's Toll.

What is your favorite boss theme in FFXIV? Why is that? Least Favorite? Why?
-Favorite:Ramuh's Theme
-Least Favorite:Leviathan's Theme. I like the lead up, but something about the second half bothers me.

Gameplay:

What graphical settings do you play with? Why is that?
-I play on PC and PS4. My PC can run the game with a few small hiccups on High settings. I find myself playing on PS4 more lately.

What sound settings do you play with? Why is that?
-Standard? I guess.

Do you play with a gamepad or with a Keyboard/Mouse? Why is that?
-Play strictly on Gamepad. I started FFXI on PS2 and even when I moved to PC i still used my trusty Dualshock 2. My use of controllers in PC games stem from that. I did mess around with keyboard in the alpha, but that's only because controller support wasn't implemented yet.

The Future:

What Class/Job would you most like to see in the game? Why?
-When I first started FFXI, I fell in love with Samurai. If it turns out to be a DPS in the future, I'm definitely gonna try it out. I'd love to see how a Red Mage would function in a game like this though.

What region would you like to visit most in the world? Why?
-An Eastern-type land. Never got to see one in FFXI, so I'm hoping to see one in the future of FFXIV!

If another Final Fantasy-inspired dungeon or raid were to come out, what would it be inspired by? Why would you pick that?
-I honestly can't say.

What item or set of items would like most like to see in the game? Why?
-Oh man... I'd love to see Beatrix-like armor along with her sword Save the Queen, just to satisfy the fanboy in me.
