What rank in the FC are you in? Senior Officer (Feels like this is my highest rank without adding too much stress in my life :D)

How did you start playing FFXIV? Wanted to play MMORPG to relieve stress so I research recommended games and selected 3 (FF14, WoW, and Guild Wars 2). I uninstall both WoW and Guild Wars 2 after the first 5 minutes cause interface and tutorial suck. I’ve been on FFXIV ever since.

When did you join G’? Nov 17, 2017. About 10 mins after I created a character. I got a pic of it. LOL

What’s a typical day in FFXIV like for you?  Experts roulette, Namazu beast tribe, help out on FC events, hang out/AFK at the FC.

What are some of the things you do for the FC? My main job is gathering for the Alliance. I also activate the daily FC buffs and send airship/submarines out. I am also responsible for the Aetherial Wheel. I run the Alliance 24-man raid event every Wednesday as well.

What’s your favorite class?  Paladin, Bard, Astrologian, Red Mage, Warrior, Miner and I can’t believe I’m saying this….. Fisher. (It’s grown on me)

Favorite dungeon/raid? All of them except lvl 50 dungeons. Lighthouse is top of my list cause of the cool mechanics.

Favorite NPC? Can’t decide…. Tataru cause some quest with her is funny as fuck? Oh wait! Yugiri and Zhloe are my waifu!!!

What’s your favorite thing to do in your free time on FFXIV? Spending time with Alliance people and doing events with them, occasional voice chats and taking screenshots.

Any tips for your FC mates? Be sensitive of other’s feelings. Be respectful of others. Don’t be afraid to ask any questions or help.

Carbuncles or Moogles? Can it be Namazu or Morbol?

Godbert Mandeville great NPC or BEST NPC? No other choices?!? I’m still in therapy cause of that time when he asked me to oil him. *shudder*

Best race? Miq’ote (cause I am one but people who knows me will definitely say it’s Lala)

Any fun facts you want people to know about you? I’m not sure what you call “fun” but here goes:

·         Don’t watch a lot of movies unless it’s animation/anime. I do make some exception on very rare cases

·         Likes documentaries mostly about Crime Investigation, Air Crash Investigation and Space Exploration, How things are made. 

·         Likes weird stuff (not gonna give example)

·         Get amuse easily and a laid back person (slacker might be a better word)

·         Patient I guess cause I rarely lose my temper

·         Likes hugs \o/

·         Sleeps a lot

·         Lala in RL ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

·         Majority of the songs I know is Anime songs, some English songs here and there but only if I like the tune

·         I don’t follow celebrities, gossip entertainment or latest series (*cough*GoT*cough* some example that I can remember) so I’m clueless about what you are talking about most of the time. I get amusing reactions when I say that. Put it this way, if almost everyone is doing it, I probably belong to the 1% that don’t do it. LOL

What do you do outside of the FC? I’m a Network Engineer by profession. When I’m AFK I usually am reading stuff. I like learning new things. Other than that, I’m a boring person. :D

What rank in the FC are you in?  

Senior Officer in G1

How did you start playing FFXIV? 

I was already into FFXI when I first heard of XIV.  I had kept tabs on the game updates and started with back in 2010 with XIV 1.0 Alpha, Beta, Legacy to the current Stormblood now. My friends and I originally chose the now nonexistent Selbina server, which name changed to Ridill, then turned into the Legacy Excalibur server. Then we decided to move to Leviathan for a fresh new start and the curiosity of a non-Legacy server.

When did you join G’?

Just went to check on my old forums posts. Looks like I joined G1 Geuno in 2016 right after my move to Leviathan. Up until then, my 1.0 friends and I had stuck to our old servers. I remember I was harvesting in Memeroon’s Trading Post when I got an invite.

What’s a typical day in FFXIV like for you?

Log in, then check retainers and resend them on quests. Go to Gold Saucer to do the daily tic tac toe. Do daily Trials. Check FC list for purge members. Run my FC macro every few hours. Look at marketplace prices, and craft. And when I have time I do more dailies.

What are some of the things you do for the FC?

I feed them food. Some people call me ‘Grandma’. Please remember to eat the free G’ foods.

What’s your favorite class?

Currently WHM and RDM

Favorite dungeon/raid?

Anything that kills a lot of people other than myself. Watching people die in Titans, Menagerie’s, those Lv70 24-man cross server raids. Does it kill people? Am I used to it enough to stay alive and raise them? Then I like it.

Favorite NPC?

 Ser Aymeric, he hot.  :D

What’s your favorite thing to do in your free time on FFXIV?

Sort out my inventory and craft the left-over things to make room. Making new characters to re-level a class when I feel I get rusty on the basics. Buy more materials for crafting.

Any tips for your FC mates?

I know it may not be for everyone, but if you want to understand the game and how your class affects other classes, try to play and level all of them. There is a lot of learning to do and you will discover a lot of things about other classes and how some of them behave the way they do, despite it looking questionable at first as an outsider of said class. Slower leveling will also help you learn small tricks you’ll miss if you speed level.

Carbuncles or Moogles?

Moogles are more worth poking prodding and slapping around.

Godbert Mandeville great NPC or BEST NPC?

No he just a half nakkid macho dad D:

Best race?

Not sure if best race but I find the cat race aesthetically easier to make.

Any fun facts you want people to know about you?

I draw. I speak Japanese. I’ve finished all quests and side quests in the game except the Big fishing one so my map is clean.

What do you do outside of the FC?

Use to work in a Health department and now a Tourism department. I like games?  Oh, I like sleep. I sleep a lot, I love sleeping. And online manga.

What rank in the FC are you in?

I am a Senior Officer in G4, shout out Sandy

How did you start playing FFXIV?

I first started playing FFXIV back in December of 2016. Normally I don’t join guilds or clans in MMO’s, but I also have never really stuck with an MMO for a long time. FFXIV was the first MMO that I really wanted to get into after trying several free ones on steam and Guild Wars 2.

When did you join G’?

After just starting to play, I got an invite from Nimbus about 20 minutes after making my first character. After joining I was hooked, and except for about a week where I transferred over to Ultos to help a friend start and FC, before I left because he was a dick. I came back and have been in g4 ever since.

What’s a typical day in FFXIV like for you?

Mostly when I can get on I check the Atherial Wheel and run my daily roulettes, I really enjoy level grinding thought, so I try to get as many character up to level 70 as possible.

What are some of the things you do for the FC?

Well this blog you are reading, I started it, I am an officer in G4 and have been shortly after its creation minus some time off here and there for school and work I have not stopped playing since. My FC officer jobs include keeping the Atherial wheel running, helping to come up with events for the FC members and being a generally friendly guy. OH! And pumping articles out like a machine.

What’s your favorite class?

Summoner, I have always been a sucker for pet classes and high dps numbers. Also, mages have the best glam. FIGHT ME.

Favorite dungeon/raid?

My favorite dungeon would probably have to be Ravana, that music is just so good.

Favorite NPC?

GODBERT MANDERVILLE

What’s your favorite thing to do in your free time on FFXIV?

I love grinding classes and speed running dungeons solo. That and talking to the lovely people of G4, come say hi.

Any tips for your FC mates?

Play more than one class, really it brings such a wonderful freshness to the game that can get often stale if you do the same rotation a thousand times a day. Also, if you want to be an officer, come on out everyone deservers a shot, you may even find out you like it.

Carbuncles or Moogles?

Does a moogle without a tongue count? because I can’t stand it when those little bastard cotton balls talk, but other than that I love them. I even played a Moogle in a Final Fantasy adaptation of the Dungeons and Dragons system. KUPO. Rest in Piece Montblac Koop, we never saw that hammer coming.

Godbert Mandeville great NPC or BEST NPC?

THE ONLY NPC

Best race?

Not potatoes that’s for sure. #FoodNotFirends

Any fun facts you want people to know about you?

I love Lovecraft, wrestling, 90’s rap, and I am working on getting a degree in Computer Science with a Writing minor, don’t ask to see my poetry it’s really bad…

ALSO, I am the macro king anyone in g4 can attest to that.

ALSO, I am totally being interviewed right now and not sitting in my dorm room typing this up when I should be doing homework.

What do you do outside of the FC?

I am a full-time student, I run Shadowrun and D&D 5e campaigns, I love writing especially for table top RPG’s.
