1. How long have you been playing FINAL FANTASY XI and what is your highest level job?
I've been playing FFXI since the NA PC release, well, a few days after it (November 2nd, I believe), so 5 days after the release. Which is over 5 years now. My highest level jobs are Summoner and Dancer, both of which are 75. I only bring jobs past 50 that I enjoy playing, and so far, only those 2 and Puppetmaster have reached that. Blue Mage and White Mage are past 50, but they lost their fun.
2. Where do you live and are you willing to travel out of state to attend live events?
I live in northern California, and unfortunately, I cannot travel too far to attend live events, which is why I haven't been to the fan festivals that have been held down south. Having no car and money really puts a damper on it :(
3. What time of the year would you prefer live events to be held? How many days would you like them to be?
In the future, In my honest opinion, I'd think Late June/July would be the best days for the live events to be held. Why? Because a large portion of the FFXI playerbase are in high school or college, and Late June/July is there only time off of school.
4. Did you attend Fan Festival 2008? If so, what did you think? If not, please let us know what you thought of the event.
No I didn't, however, I did keep up with everything going on during it. In my HONEST opinion, I didn't really feel like enough information was given out. All the stuff from interviews was just the same old stuff we learned in past interviews, except some minor details like wanting to move WHM to the front line.
5. What kind of content would you like to see in upcoming live events?
I'd love to see new jobs showcased. One of my favorite memories of the first fan festival was when they revealed Puppetmaster. With that galka coming up on the screen everyone was crowded around trying to see what it was, with what seemed to be a Taru running behind him (And someone even shouted that), then all of the sudden, it gets closer, and you can see it's a puppet. Then PUPPETMASTER flashed across the screen and the crowd erupted. Personally, I still try to find that video today :P The DANCER part of the first WotG preview reminded me of that. Also, New Pets in general are something I'd like to see at live events. Pet jobs have a lot of potential, but summoners have had the same pets for a while, PUP have had mainly the same parts from the start, DRGs have had the same wyverns. BST at least gets new pets all the time.
I'd prefer to be notified by E-Mail, but PM would work as well. I check both daily :P
