1) How long have you been playing FFXI for (and playtime if possible)?

- I started playing shortly after the NA release. Played up until Mid-07 and quit. However, I am back and starting from scratch.

2) When you started playing FFXI, did you have a specific job in mind, and if so did you ever complete said job?

-First time: As a nOOb I remember looking at the manual and picking DRG. After getting to 30, it was my first job I picked. I leveled up to 40'ish. Moved to NIN b/c of LS reasons. Leveled it to 75, never really liked it though. After NIN I found myself back to DRG and leveled it to 75. Most of which was solo'ed. It was my first and fav. job.

Second time - you guessed it. Just opened DRG and now leveling my blu sub.

During my time - a saying was prevalent... "Once a Dragoon - Always a Dragoon". And that applies to me

3) Is that job still as loved now as it was back when you wanted to become one?
Yes. It is. I loved it during the good times and during the bad times. Back then, DRG was the most disliked DD's there was. I solo'ed from 40's almost all the way to 60 or 65. HB is great. Very versital job.

4) What one event/moment during your playing time will you regard as the highlight of your time spent playing FFXI?

Finishing CoP back then. I was not a fan of the CoP missions to be honest. But, having it finished added a great sense of accomplishment.

5) Same as question 4, but this time the low point of your time spent playing FFXI?

Ingame: CoP mission grind and Omega.

6) How long can you see yourself playing this game (in its current state) if SE said tomorrow "We will not be updating this game anymore, but we will leave the servers up"?

Well - a long while. With me just starting back. I'll be occupied for several years.

7) Of all the expansions, which one do you regard as the best, and why?
Treasures has to be my pick. Added a lot of content for ppl. that was weary of the Sky farming/Sky Gods/Sky Farming routine.

8) If you won a competition to change one thing in FFXI what would it be?
There is a LOT I would want to change. But - settling on one would be drop rates. Claiming a NM is hard enough. But to have it drop nothing is devastating. 100% drop rate.

9) Same as question 8, but you had the ability to add one thing in FFXI what would it be?

Graphical overall. Major graphical overall.

10) Name one Lakshmi player would you regard as a celebrity?
Jangula I suppose. I was always envious of his gear.

1) How long have you been playing FFXI for (and playtime if possible)?

Since PS2 release! First game I ever pre-ordered. I lost my character, Shiromiro around late 2005 due to a lost e-mail account and forgotten POL password. I've played on and off on a new account since then. I'd probably say about 400 days.

2) When you started playing FFXI, did you have a specific job in mind, and if so did you ever complete said job?

Black Mage. Massive death and wanton destruction was my art form, and the dark arts was my brush and palette. Never got to finish it due to my character loss.

3) Is that job still as loved now as it was back when you wanted to become one?
Does a doughy Scotswoman totally OWN the crowd of Britain's Got Talent?

4) What one event/moment during your playing time will you regard as the highlight of your time spent playing FFXI?

The founding of CantaPerMe, my SOLE linkshell since I started.

5) Same as question 4, but this time the low point of your time spent playing FFXI?

The day I found out my character was lost forever. I honestly threw up.

6) How long can you see yourself playing this game (in its current state) if SE said tomorrow "We will not be updating this game anymore, but we will leave the servers up"?

That all depends on how long my linkshell members stay on. They're my life.


7) Of all the expansions, which one do you regard as the best, and why?


HA! I died halfway through Chains, and missed out on ToAU and Goddess. But CoP's storyline was epik. With a k. A Jewish k.

8) If you won a competition to change one thing in FFXI what would it be?

The entire crafting system. Including reverting fishing back to it's original state. That or toning down the difficulty of soloing another half click.

9) Same as question 8, but you had the ability to add one thing in FFXI what would it be?

I'd have to agree that automated chocobo paths would be kind of nice. And it's all I can legitimately think of that isn't too unrealistic.


10) Name one Lakshmi player would you regard as a celebrity?


SINSDRY! He's been there day in and day out since the beginning of frikkin' Vana'diel.

1) How long have you been playing FFXI for (and playtime if possible)? November 2003. Not much game time, since I quit a couple times, deleted my character, and switched servers (ironically, about 2 months before they let us move characters between servers). I only get to play a couple hours a week, but I still love this game.

2) When you started playing FFXI, did you have a specific job in mind, and if so did you ever complete said job? Paladin. I played it as a good little turtle for a while and it wasn't very much fun. Gave it a second try when I started playing again, and I love it now that it's more balanced.

3) Is that job still as loved now as it was back when you wanted to become one? More so.

4) What one event/moment during your playing time will you regard as the highlight of your time spent playing FFXI? When I went to the jungles the first time and made some terrible mistakes, someone took me aside and politely explained to me what I was doing wrong and how to fix it, even pointed me to Allakhazam. That was above and beyond what most players would've done and definitely changed my approach to the game.

5) Same as question 4, but this time the low point of your time spent playing FFXI? A few bad parties, but nothing worth repeating or remembering.

6) How long can you see yourself playing this game (in its current state) if SE said tomorrow "We will not be updating this game anymore, but we will leave the servers up"? A very long time. I'm the world's slowest leveler, so I can't see it affecting me.

7) Of all the expansions, which one do you regard as the best, and why? ToAu, due to the new jobs.

8) If you won a competition to change one thing in FFXI what would it be? Maybe quicker respawn times on monsters that quest items.

9) Same as question 8, but you had the ability to add one thing in FFXI what would it be? rp server plz!

10) Name one Lakshmi player would you regard as a celebrity? Saehel. Okay, so she's only my celebrity, but she's completely crazy and awesome and everyone should get to know her. Bat wings for you, lady!

1) How long have you been playing FFXI for (and playtime if possible)?
January of 2004, so 5 years and 3 months. Playtime: 546 days. Grossly swollen by all my overnight bazaaring and leaving my char logged in while away out of laziness.

2) When you started playing FFXI, did you have a specific job in mind, and if so did you ever complete said job?
DRG or SAM. As my sig attests, I've managed both.

3) Is that job still as loved now as it was back when you wanted to become one?
Yes and no. When I first joined, Meditate was instant 100% TP and DRG was god of Pentaspam. The TP nerf made DRG nearly reviled for the entire time I was exping it and a good while after. ToAU merits and recent mechanics/JA adjustments mean now everyone loves DRG and SAM.

4) What one event/moment during your playing time will you regard as the highlight of your time spent playing FFXI?
Completing CoP before the difficulty got toned down with an all-linkshell roleplayed static. Yes, that's right, non-gimp RPers who can prep and execute strategies. Hell of a lot of fun.

5) Same as question 4, but this time the low point of your time spent playing FFXI?
70-75 DRG. l.o.l.DRG was at its peak and my static had broken so NOBODY would invite me. I believe at one point I spent 3 days near continuously LFP, punctuated only by classes, meals, and sleep. I did get a lot of classwork and reading done though!

6) How long can you see yourself playing this game (in its current state) if SE said tomorrow "We will not be updating this game anymore, but we will leave the servers up"?
That is 100% a matter of how long my friends stick around so I can't say with any precision.

7) Of all the expansions, which one do you regard as the best, and why?
CoP. Amazing story, actually challenging fights, new areas, cool armor... None of the others compare, in my opinion.

8) If you won a competition to change one thing in FFXI what would it be?
Ground kings. Not sure exactly how, I'm certain I could cull a good change out of the many floating around on the internets. But when you have over 100 people crammed into a laggy, sweltering pit, all frothing and in some instances circumventing game mechanics to be the first to snatch a monster that may or may not drop something they want... And spend 3 hours for the privilege, something has gone wrong.

9) Same as question 8, but you had the ability to add one thing in FFXI what would it be?
If you asked me two years ago, I would have said the ability to visit moghouses. Now? ...I don't really know honestly. Chairs? The ability to sit in them? Persistent 'posture' emotes? Duels? Beats me.

10) Name one Lakshmi player would you regard as a celebrity?
Jangula, and not in an entirely pleasant light. I hear good things about him now but back in the day he was pretty xenophobic. Whatever you make of her character though, you have to be at least a little impressed at the cashflow.

edit: "l.o.l.DRG" sans periods gets auto-edited to read "I'm a moron"? ...What the hell?

1) How long have you been playing FFXI for (and playtime if possible)?

Since late November, 2003 - playtime of 562 days. (which admitted is probably 50% standing around doing nothing)

2) When you started playing FFXI, did you have a specific job in mind, and if so did you ever complete said job?

I had started as a THF, with the intention to finish THF and DRG (and never ever level SMN); several years later, SMN was my first 75, and DRG is my most recent (and most loved) 75. THF, however, is 55.

3) Is that job still as loved now as it was back when you wanted to become one?

For DRG, even more so then it was. THF, absolutely not.

4) What one event/moment during your playing time will you regard as the highlight of your time spent playing FFXI?

Oh god, no idea - the recent 1/1 ACP win comes to mind (I was the last one standing, barely made it), though passing on a wyrm armet for a friend, and then somehow beating a 960 lot for the next one to drop (about 30 minutes later) comes to mind as well.

5) Same as question 4, but this time the low point of your time spent playing FFXI?

Throwing hedgehog bomb at Ramuh Prime. Missing. Yeah.

6) How long can you see yourself playing this game (in its current state) if SE said tomorrow "We will not be updating this game anymore, but we will leave the servers up"?


Ages - there's still a whole lot of jobs I want to level.

7) Of all the expansions, which one do you regard as the best, and why?

While I admit ToAU added the most as far as usefulness goes, I absolutely love CoP (even if it took me forever to beat it).

8) If you won a competition to change one thing in FFXI what would it be?

For no synths under your craft level to break - I don't even craft much anymore and this still aggravates the hell out of me.

9) Same as question 8, but you had the ability to add one thing in FFXI what would it be?

Wyvern pet commands, probably.

10) Name one Lakshmi player would you regard as a celebrity?

I always regarded Jangula very highly, and oddly, Profile as well (I think it was because I was struggling with clothcraft, and Profile was 99.something), though these days the only people who come to mind are celebrities for being jackasses.
