1. How long have you been playing?:
4 years
2. What server(s) do you live on?:
Zalera
3. Your character's race?:
Usually roegadyn
3a. Do you have more than one favorite race? (Only applies to who fantaisa or have alts):
Popoto. I mean uh, lalafell
4. Any favorable glamour 'sets' you wear a lot?:
The hellfire set for tanks, gryphonskin mix for samurai
4a. Expanding on 4, what kind of glamours make you go "what the heck"?:
Male roes using only a head glam like frog or pig and leaving the rest of their body naked. Or lalas glamming "naked baby" look
5. What's your main job and why?:
MCH. Yoshida said that (paraphrasing here) they reworked mch as a job that would use different machines for combat. I'm really glad they went that route because it's been fun and engaging. My favorite part is the burst phase of weaving the barells and the overheat shots.
5a: Do you play more than one job?:
Yes. SAM, WAR, PLD, DRK, DRG, and recently BLM
5b. That ONE job you want to pick up and "git gud" at?:
BLM. Only very recently did I finally got a hold of the rythm. I'm looking forward to mastering the rotation and optimizing it.
5c. Which job do you dislike and why?:
MNK. It just...never leaves me feeling good playing it like, ever. I feel like it just doesn't convey impact properly. Take for instance, that Kamehameha move and tornado kick. Those are the monk's flashiest moves...and they're weave-ins. That means visually, you'll never have time to take stock of these moves if you're playing properly. That's just one example for me. There's other things but overall, I just don't feel good playing mnk.
5d. If FF14 could have job from another game in the franchise, which would you want?:
FFX-2 Songstress. Well I guess here, it'd be renamed Singer. Let's complete that performance trinity (dancer, brd) by adding a singer!
6. What kind of player do you call yourself (ex: Rper, casual, raider, social, crafter, all-rounder, etc)?:
Casual
7. What's the "typical day" for you when you log on (don't have to go into detail)?:
Dailies, dummy training, gathering.
7a. Anything that you "must do", because it's "required" that makes you annoyed?:
Well it's too late now but I used to hate being msq gated from things in the game. For example, when I started, you could only glam once you reached level 50. That was really messed up, imo. Also, you couldn't get your hand on poetics from leveling roulette until you unlocked and completed all the dgns that leveling roulette required. Even if you capped (back during HW).
8. Favorable parts of the game that make you happy?:
Gold Saucer and the Dimwold. Gold saucer, especially on cactpot night is so festive. Dimwold has this whole "enchanted foggy forest/swamp" vibe going for it.
8a. Least desirable parts that the game could be improved on?:
The scorched Earth methods that SE has employed for combat gameplay. They've taken the easy way out and now everything feels shallow AF.
9. When you use the DF, how many times have you had a "bad experience", and what happened? (can be vague or skip this):
Yeah hell of a broad question here, especially if you've been playing a long time. I can give an estimate in percentage per year: about 20%
9a. Any pleasant experiences when using the DF?:
40%. The remaining 40% is indifference or n/a
9b. Any improvements you think the DF, in general, needs?:
GUILDHESTS NEED SOME ****ING LOVE. HOLY COW, HOE MANY EXPANSIONS HAS IT BEEN, S.E?
10. If you could have ONE QUESTION answered by SE's Developers, what would you ask them?:
Hrothgars not using fantasia to change hairstyles like the other races when?
11. Your favorite primal?:
Ramuh. For the glorious beard and the music.
11a. Favorite NPC?:
Urianger. He's grown on me.
11b. Your favorite mount?:
Easily Sleipnir
11c. Any certain fight(s) you like doing over and over?:
If fights kept their day 1 difficulty permanently, it would've been: Omega M/F, Ridorana Lighthouse and Orbonne Monastery, Mist Dragon, Cruise Chaser, Alexander, Tsukiyomi, Titan
11d. How about a song you'd enjoy putting on repeat?:
Shadowbringers main theme
12. If you could have a house in any zone, where would you build it?:
If it was instanced, Lavender Beds
12a. What region do you find yourself AFKing the most?:
I used to afk in Limsa.
13. Anything else you wish to share?:
