So for a while I kinda wanted to blog about my time in FFXIV but I had this impression that everyone associates this blog with otome games (and well honestly – I don’t blame anyone for doing so (´ﾟωﾟ)). I thought about then starting a completely separate blog for FFXIV stuff but then I remembered – this was originally intended to be my game blog..so I guess it would kinda defeat the purpose if I can’t blog about games on it right?? Does anyone remember that I have an MMO game category? (¯―¯٥) But I know a lot of readers here mainly care to read otome game reviews so to make it a little easier to filter I’ll just preface my FFXIV posts with “FFXIV”! Hopefully that will make things a little cleaner and as usual they will be categorized in the Final Fantasy XIV category. There won’t be a set schedule on when I will make entries but I’d like to post when something interesting happens or there’s a new update etc. And hopefully this will breathe some life into the blog since my reviews tend to be once or twice a month these days.
With that out of the way I’d like to bring to the attention my FFXIV identity crisis fueled by Fantasia. Fantasia is a cash item you buy for $10 that lets you change your character’s race/gender/appearance. Square Enix knows that most of their players love this stuff, like a bad drug, so they put it on sale for 25% off all month. Sadly I took the bait ＼(^o^)／
After fiddling around with the benchmark I found a Miqo’te Moonkeeper look I really like…and well here I am. Honestly though I love my Au Ra a lot so I can’t see this lasting too long. On that note, I have a history of fantasia abuse.
I started the game as a hyur midlander male cause well I just wanted to stare at a hot guy the whole time 😆 A lot of my Japanese server friends were lalafells so I decided to shrink and became a chibi version of my former self. That lasted for a while until I decided I really liked this male Elezen look so I grew up. The Elezen necks really bothered me when they weren’t wearing clothes so I decided to try the catboy thing.
After 2 months I decided I wanted to be the same height as my lala-husband so I went back to lalafell. Once weddings were added in Eorzea, my husband & I switched to midlanders because we realized that all the nice wedding details would be lost on the tiny people.
Half a year later, 3.0 came out and we turned into dragon people. (I made my husband go back to midlander though because his male Au Ra was twice my height x_x). And now with the sale of Fantasias, this morning I turned into a cat girl (；・∀・)。 Honestly I really do miss my Au Ra especially that hairstyle which is unique to that race only. But I was curious I guess….I think out of all the races I’ve been so far I like Au Ra’s the most, the emotes, the voices etc. I like midlanders too but the female voices are kinda eh…but since I have some extra fantasias I might try it out. Not really a fan of female Elezens (cause necks) and Roes because I like cuter stuff (though I did manage to make an uguu roelady in the benchmark lol xD). I’m hoping in 4.0 we’ll finally get the Vierra race so I can be a bunny girl (*´∀｀*).

I’m mainly playing as a White Mage, so I can understand that. I usually solo through as much as possible though so being a loner guy seem to make more sense to people than being a loner girl, lol. And if I play with friends one of them is a really cute female Miqo’te so we kind of look like a couple, lmao. We’ve even had an awkward moment while we had targeted eachother’s characters and were looking into eachother’s eyes.
haha since I Play the game with my husband I like to take cute couple shots together so I stick to female char. Also I guess because I think a lot of gear looks cuter on a girl char than guy, it’s really sad but true especially healer/casting stuff
I’m sticking with my really hot male Miqo’te because really he’s hot and I just wouldn’t like changing him. Maybe at most I would change his hairstyle. Basically, I just enjoy looking at him and playing as him so much I just can’t change. And the fact I spent like a day just making him might have something to do with it.
haha yea they’re pretty angry looking. I like looking at other people’s auras but I never liked the ones I created lol
Good to see that you decided to write about FFXIV!
I changed my character from a male Miqo’te to male Au-Ra when Heavensward came out. It was weird at first because male Au-Ra is always with an angry look www
Awesome, thanks so much! When I get it, I’ll def let you know! I’m looking forward to your FF posts! XD
haha yea it requires a subscription but the game itself goes on sale pretty frequently. I think recently it was 50% off so you can keep your eyes peeled for that 🙂
Yay!!! Super excited to see you’re blogging about other things! It’s great to see another otoge fan, but this is your blog and you should share whatever you love on here.
I really need to get this game tho……but being broke is super depressing. lol
Thank you for reading my blog and glad you enjoy it! No idea how long I’ll be a cat girl but I got 5 more chances to try out other races!
You seem to be having a lot of fun, and the graphics are beautiful, so I think the changes are justified, ahaha. I’m bloodiris, by the way, nice to meet you! I really like your posts, they always bring a smile to my face. 🙂
