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!
