Taken from @bazelgeuse-apologist's questionnaire
- Character name: Leona
- World and data center: I'd rather not say.
- Favorite job/role: Dancer at the moment, but historically Red Mage.
- Favorite group duties (specific dungeons, trials, raids, etc): The Great Gubal Library, The Great Gubal Library (Hard), Saint Mocianne's Arboretum (Hard), and Akadaemia Anyder. Even though I don't really listen to music in the game, I am a sucker for moving through gloomy, abandoned places as jazz or experimental music plays in the background.
- How often you play: About once or twice a day.
- Focus and playstyle (RP, raiding, crafting; casual, hardcore, social, solo; etc): Casual but also oddly Sim - turns out managing an FC house starts to feel a bit like playing a small Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley-esque game!
- Your current goals: Grind out the materials to make patch 6.3 DoH/DoL gear. The material costs are... something...
- Favorite side content (Triple Triad, deep dungeon, ocean fishing, etc): Treasure maps.
- Favorite expansion: Heavensward. I enjoyed the payoff of Endwalker more, but Heavensward sits on its own better as a stand-alone story. I also have a lot of fondness for its aesthetics.
- Favorite OST: I don't have a favorite OST. Shadows Withal is my favorite track at the moment.
- Favorite NPC: Puddingway. Gotta protect this perfect child!
- Favorite ships (including WoLships): Don't got one. I am not a big shipper, so haven't put a ton of thought into it.
- Favorite city-state/country: Limsa. The politics of it are ridiculous and the vibes are immaculate.
- When you started playing: Just before COVID hit.
- What got you to start playing: My interest got piqued enough from articles Harper Jay wrote. I brought a pitch to some friends and roped 'em into playing the game together.
- A fond memory from in-game: Two years ago the FC came together for a fun holiday party. It was a nice send-off to our old, smaller house before we won a bid on a larger one in Ishgard and attracted a lot of FC crewmates and friends. Just a nice, chill time online with friends!
- An achievement you're proud of: Fucking holding it together the rare times I have to be the bad-guy as FC leader. I don't like having to step-in when drama flares-up or someone is a bad actor and mediate or resolve those issues. Inevitably it means hurting someone's feelings, deservedly or not, and stresses me out. So the fact I have played the mediator and not quit the game feels like an accomplishment.
- A glamour you like:
The YoRHa Type-51 Robe of Casting. I just wish the dress was usable in more situations than it is. - Favorite mount and minion: My favorite mount is Whisper-go and I don't have a favorite minion. I like collecting minions, but they get in the way a lot for me, so I never bring 'em out.
- Are you looking for folks to hang out with in-game? Not particularly? I'm usually down to chat and run content, but I rarely look for opportunities to meet or hang-out with folks. I just don't have the time and werewithal to do so.
- Do you have any FFXIV stuff (fic, art, code, OC ponderings, etc) that you'd like to share? Been thinking on this and nothing comes to mind. Most of my creativity with the game is with gpose, which feels a bit outside the gamut of this question.
