Beyond the Light Interview

What is your in-game character’s name?: Floky Skjaldmaer

What race are you currently in-game?: Lalafell

What drew you into your current choice of race?: I played a TaruTaru in FF11. It is also ironic that I play the shortest race but in real life I am 6’4″

When did you first start playing FFXIV?: January 2022

What drew you to pick up and play FFXIV?: I played in 1.0 and wasn’t impressed, then I read an article about endwalker and thought, people play that POS? After doing some research I learned that the game was completely redone and thought I would give it ago cause I love FF

How far have you gotten into the MSQ (Main Story Questline) of FFXIV?: Finished

What was your first (job? class? role?) when you started?: SCH/SMN

What motivated you to pick that first (job? class? role?): I liked being able to switch between them. I could heal dungeons and dps on other stuff. I played a SMN in FF11 and loved it, but this one is nothing like that one which makes me kind of sad, but I still enjoy it. I prefer to heal though.

To date, what favorite jobs/roles/classes do you have?: Healing is where I feel at home, I leveled a WAR and I do enjoy that much more than I thought I would, but I think that is the cause because of all the nice heals they have.

What kind of content do you enjoy?: MSQ, Crafting and/or gathering, Duty Content, Side Quests, Glamour Collecting, Collectible Getting

What would you say is your favorite content type from FFXIV? And why?: It is a tie between crafting/gathering and Collecting. I have 313 Minions and 104 mounts. The crafting system in this game is unlike anything I have seen in any other game, it isn’t boring, the stuff you make you can sell and make good profits on and that helps me get more mounts and minions. Although there are only 4 minions I can purchase at this point.

What is one thing you like about FFXIV that distinguishes them from other MMOs?: The community, and the story. (yea I know you said one, lol) I have never seen such a positive community in a mmo. For the story part I like that you can just play the main story and get to max level with at least 1 job if not 2. No other game I have played does that, you always have to do side quests and things like that to supplement leveling. I also love that old content remains, somewhat, relevant and people still do it which makes it easier for new players

If you could make at least 1 change to FFXIV based on personal preference, what would you pick and why?: There are some UI updates I would like to see, like showing shields on health bars above someone’s head, stuff like that

What is your most memorable/favorite moment in FFXIV?: I would have to say when I got my “…of Dragon’s Deep” Title. You get it for catching a bunch of rate fish from ARR, some spawn windows are like 5 minutes so it takes a lot of patience to get.

When did you join Celestia?: May 2022

What drew you to join Celestia?: After I left <Iron> (involuntarily) I was looking for a place to call home that was well organized and had an active membership. I saw an add on loadstone and applied. When I did I stayed on for a couple hrs thinking well i should get an invite any time. Then I logged off thinking well in the morning I should be in, but I wasn’t and I was like huh, that’s interesting. A short time later an officer contacted me and explained about the interview and the website and guild charter which really impressed me. Most FC do not go through that type of process to get to know their players that might be in their community and I really appreciated that.

What do you like about Celestia as a Free Company?: People are friendly, helpful, and the FC is well organized. I like that we have community events, The officers actively try to help people with various things and for the most part even at low levels people can get assistance when they need it.

What is your favorite weekly event to participate in with Celestia?: Maps, I wish we had one on a weeknight as my weekends are usually full.
