Beyond the Light Interview

What is your in-game character’s name?: Ojin Cleric

What race are you currently in-game?: Elezen

What drew you into your current choice of race?: I love the idea that Elezen typically have a longer life span and they look majestic!

When did you first start playing FFXIV?: September 2010

What drew you to pick up and play FFXIV?:

I played FFXI when it was released in NOV of 2024. I was hooked. As an avid lover and fan boy of all things final fantasy I was excited. I feel like left or right, republican or democrat; there was wow or ffxiv. And I was proud to be in the XIV camp. Through battling in sky, NM’s, and exploring the music and zones. This game made me. This carried over to ffxiv 1.0 where I was just relieved really that we had this succession. Oddly, I did like 1.0. Listening to Twilight over Thanalan in a game that was meant for me.

How far have you gotten into the MSQ (Main Story Questline) of FFXIV?: Through Shadowbringers. I’m taking my time bc I never want it to be over!!

What was your first (job? class? role?) when you started?: WHM. Forever and always.

What motivated you to pick that first (job? class? role?): I played Healer in XIV and I love the pressure that comes with it.

To date, what favorite jobs/roles/classes do you have?: WHM

What kind of content do you enjoy?: PvP, Savage Raids, Crafting and/or Gathering, Duty Content, Casual Content, Collectible Getting, Exploring (Other)

What would you say is your favorite content type from FFXIV? And why?: End Game Raiding and Socializing.

What is one thing you like about FFXIV that distinguishes them from other MMOs?:

The lineage of FF coupled with the community and ambiance.

If you could make at least 1 change to FFXIV based on personal preference, what would you pick and why?:

It would be crazy to implement but Random Gear stat drops or random gear perks would be cool. This could help to differentiate you as you get “God rolls” and could help with retention in the games late future.

What is your most memorable/favorite moment in FFXIV?:

I will never forget going to the very first FFXIV fan fest. Everyone was so happy. So many memories made and I was proud to goto the first one in Vegas. One standout moment was beating Odin in front of thousands of others. Everyone cheered, and it was an epic fight down to the wire!! That was such a special moment that I’ll never forget.

When did you join Celestia?: February 2024

What drew you to join Celestia?: As a legacy member, Ive always been on the Hyperion server. I have some real life friends that played on a different server. While I love FFXIVs ability to have functionality across server, I wanted to be part of a bigger community but with a familiar aspect. After conversation I was able to convince them to pay the $18 to transfer to me (Thanks guys!). Now all that was left was finding a culture and community that was relatable. Believe it or not this was harder than I thought. After using the community finder I saw some leadership names that I recognized and a discord link. After clicking, I found a solo player hanging in chat. That person was Majestic Eagle. He was so kind and answered All hundreds of my questions. After, I knew it was the right place for my smaller team. We’ve spent the last few seats feeling validated and welcomed in this great community with amazing people. Very grateful.

What do you like about Celestia as a Free Company?: It’s people. And in a game this big, it’s clear that the leaderships hard work is evident. Leading to great results with fellowship.

What is your favorite weekly event to participate in with Celestia?: FEEESH lol (Fishing)
