I’m interested in what kind of people hang around in here since the community is so small and so new.
How do you spend your time in game? Are you a raidlogger with a static, or tend to chat in your FC? Grinding mounts, getting gil, buying a house? Any Eureka/Bozja enjoyers?
When did you start playing? What’s your favorite fight on any difficulty, or other content?
How many hours and characters do you have, are you on the free trial, leveling or looking for help and advice in game, or do you have your mentor crown already?
What region do you play on? What do you think of addons?
What (reddit or other) community did you come from / still use?
How much I play tends to vary from patch to patch. I have rather limited free time these days and so it can be difficult.
Primarily I play for the story. I absolutely love the story and I truly believe Shadowbringers and Endwalker had an impact on me as a person and gave me new perspectives on life. Just a beautifully told story, great characters, awesome themes, cannot say enough good about it.
However I’d hardly call myself a casual player. I enjoy raiding but haven’t managed to finish a full tier on patch yet, primarily due to time. My schedule isn’t very conducive to joining a static and I simply don’t have the time to prog via PF. I hope that one day I will finally finish a tier though lol. This past tier I got through P7S but it took me so long to finally find a PF that could clear 7 that 8 just wasn’t in the cards for me.
Aside from raiding I generally just derp around and relax. Decorating my house, doing my island sanctuary, mount hunting, crafting, nothing is really off limits. Most of the time I just pick some goal (like all tanks to 90) and go for it until I lose interest in the game and then I wait for the next patch.
If I do join back up I’ll probably resume my leveling of PRanged via finishing all side quests in the game. That was really fun for me : ) but atm I’ve been obsessed with learning chess so we’ll see when I pick my favorite game back up. If I just won my housing auction it’ll be more likely that I return lol. Part of why I lost interest is that during the break before 6.4 I went 60 days without logging in, lost my house, and proceeded to have like no inventory space. To my own surprise not having a house and being so inventory limited really hurt my own motivation to play.
I main Black Mage and I’d like to think I’m pretty decent at it, often parsing in the upper 80’s last tier. Been maining BLM since FFXI and it’s just comfy for me. FF is the only series that I think gets the idea of black mage correct.
Came to Lemmy from reddit.
Time to check the auction!
Here from reddit. Mostly hanging out on discord and lemmy now. Started last year and just chase whatever that catches my fancy. Still on f2p though. Plenty of arr and hw content to get through since I stopped playing for half a year.
Casual player trying to make gil via crafting. I don’t do savage content as its hard for me to learn fights via videos and can’t get into a group (hard to commit to a static).
I’m still clearing MSQ, just started Shadowbringers
Not sure what I’ll do finished that, probably farm mouts and join a FC to try some savages
I started playing around 3 years ago but left because life happened
Don’t need addons even though some QOL wouldn’t hurt
hello there ^^
I’m someone who plays pretty much every day, doing all kinds of things in game. I’m in a static with some of my FC, and we are progging this tier entirely blind (for the fun of discovery and theory-crafting strategies). We raid every night for 3-5 hours a night. This is my first time ever doing high end content though! I’m really enjoying it. I play summoner and flex to scholar and I usually parse around 80th percentile, and I’m always trying to improve.
I’m an omnicrafter, and I spend some time crafting gear and consumables for my FC and friends, otherwise just crafting to make money. I have a large house but it’s only half decorated due to lack of inspiration…
I started playing in Nov 2019, and now I have over 7000 hours in the game, though honestly, most of it has been spent just sitting and chatting with friends or doing FC things. I used to run my own FC, though recently I have switched to a new FC where I’m an admin now, so that takes up much of my time!
I have just one character (that I actually use) and I have mentor, not that it really means much besides that I’ve played for a while, though I love helping other players out however I am able to.
I play on the NA data center Crystal.
I think addons are a great thing for the game, and I personally love being able to tweak and customize my game experience with lots of little quality of life things.
I come from the reddit ffxiv community and I’m hopeful that this community grows and can fill the same niches that the subreddits do.
