In Shadowbringers, I got burned out on cat girls and cat boys. In the meantime, I actually rolled another Zuri Nimat (for a different server and FC) who I changed to AuRa when the race was still new – put a pin on this idea for later. So she became an Elezen named Aywren.īut then! I decided that I missed my Miqo’te! So back to cat she went. I also decided that I wanted to use my net name. As time passed and Zuri became the head of a growing FC, I decided I wanted a more serious character. Unfortunately, I think I accomplished that a little too much.

She was my first FFXIV character, and coming from GW2 where I had a particular Flame Point Charr that was easy to distinguish from others of her kind, I attempted to make my first character in FFXIV something that was visually unique. She started as a weird blue cat named Zuri. If I don’t like how a character feels, if I suddenly get the inspiration to do something different with them, or if gameplay is just stale – all it takes is a fantasia (and sometimes a name change) and I’ve repurposed that character to be what inspires me without losing any of the progress I’ve made on them. FFXIV makes it so easy to change names and fantasia into something different, and that continues to be a sirensong for me. My Main has had a long and troubled past as you can see. I rolled my first FFXIV character in September 2013, and this has mostly remained “My Main.” The one I collect things on. So how did all these alts come to be? My Main Some of it is because, to me, the experience feels different depending on the combination of race, glamour and character personality. Some of it is just because in every other MMO, I’ve made numerous alts. Some of it is just the nature of how I play MMOs, especially being a creative person. I choose to upkeep these alts, and at this point, am currently running my 5th character through Shadowbringers. I’ve chosen to pay the higher price sub for the past 8 years in FFXIV.

In fact, there’s even a lower priced subscription for people who only roll one character per server. You can do and be everything on one character (and my main is maxed out in everything except Blue Mage). These are many of my FFXIV alts… but not all of them.įFXIV is a game in which alts don’t need to exist. See that image above? Every character except for the Elezen and the Hyur to the very left belongs to me.
