1. How long have you been playing?:
Since Early Access for ARR, I wasn't even aware of XIV existing at the time so I missed out on that side of things, but I had a close group of friends at the time and they told me about ARR and how it was going to be amazing so I preordered, even got the Cait Sith minion though I never use it. Wish I could say I've been a constant participant but sadly that's not true, my friends kind of drifted and they all basically decided to go to other servers leaving me essentially alone, this was right around the time EX primals were coming out (the last dungeon I remember running was Copperbell HM, I collect slime-based minions). So I dropped it, never went back for years, I wound up getting back into things just before Shadowbringers dropped and I've been somewhat regular since then, just don't have the cash to keep a sub going AND put food on the table right now, probably I'll come back with 5.35 and get a Fantasia while I'm at it.
2. What server(s) do you live on?:
Cactuar, met a nice FC on it and it's been pretty cozy, though some of the prices can be a little staggering it's still a good server.
3. Your character's race?:
Currently it's Au Ra just so I could experiment with scales and facial markings but my real race is Viera, I just get frustrated with it because my main appeal in the game is dress-up and customization and with every new hair or armor set I just lose a tiny bit more hope that they'll ever fix it.
3a. Do you have more than one favorite race? (Only applies to who fantaisa or have alts):
FemRoe is also pretty good and I did like mine while I played her but Viera scratches my itch for being tall AND a beast person.
4. Any favorable glamour 'sets' you wear a lot?:
My current glamour is my favorite blending of sets and pieces, I really enjoy the 'Battle Mage' aesthetic of armored spellcasters and the Garleans have THE BEST armor aesthetic, before getting the Ratholos EX gloves and boots I was using the Garlean glamor bits you get during Stormblood. Absolute shame too because we're not getting Garlean themed gear UNTIL the Garlemald expansion (Devs said so themselves basically) and until then I have to deal with a constant barrage of witch hats and flowing gowns, total mood killer honestly when I check new gear and it's got a GIANT witch hat, I crave the WHM pieces so badly.
4a. Expanding on 4, what kind of glamours make you go "what the heck"?:
None in particular save for Naked/Bikini Tanks, I just feel like it's a waste of creativity and the glamour system to essentially go 'I don't want any clothes' instead of using the amazing armor pieces tank classes get access to.
(Part one, sorry, just... a lot to type...)
