There are some roads I will not go down.

It is still my favorite, although Endwalker gives it a run for the money.

Did a race change...and have been blown away by the comms (midwest.social)
 

So for the longest time my character has been a male highlander Hyur. I made him to kinda look like me. I usually tank in DF, and would receive a middling amount of commendations after a run.

About a week ago I decided to completely change stuff up. I fantasia'd into a male Viera, and candidly made him gorgeous. Also made an attractive adventure plate for him too.

And ever since I've changed, the comms just seem to flow in. Way more than they used to, and I'm still the same mediocre tank.

But now I'm a pretty bunny boy. And it seems people like pretty bunny boys. I had no idea.

What kind of players are in this community? in c/ffxiv@possumpat.io

I'm a casual player. Joined when the big WoW exodus occurred a couple years ago. I was immediately blown away by just how obvious it was that the game developers deeply care about the players. So many small QoL features; what, you don't dismount me when riding past a mob? What, I'm not locked into a class? And while I was a little put off at first by the lack of addons, I've come to learn that the stock UI is usually more than enough. My mental health is better now that I don't see damage meters.

I've got a bit over 96 days of playtime. I'm doing a second play through with an alt because I'm addicted to the MSQ and the other Scions. That and I wanted experience again the emotional punch that is Shadowbringers and Endwalker.
