Final Fantasy XIV:ARR ApplicationHow old are you? 22 What is your in-game name? Regis Trahein Do you have Teamspeak 3 and a working microphone? Yes What are the top five games that influenced you most and a little bit as to why? Guild Wars 1/2 -- I spent a lot of time in these games. I enjoyed them for the type of game they were. They had good PvE and good PvP and required teamwork which I feel is essential to enjoying most online games these days. PlanetSide 2 -- I spent a lot of time in this game as well. I am an officer for the PlanetSide 2 division and enjoy leading the platoon and squad when I can. My summer schedule is sort of busy however and it is preventing me from putting in a lot of time in PS2. This should no longer be an issue come the time that Open Beta for FF XIV is out though. RF Online -- Great PvP game. I enjoy PvP a lot and the open pvp concept of RF Online was fantastic. I understand FF isn't as PvP oriented as all of the games I have already stated but when they do release PvP content I will most likely be there and ready to fight for XoO and make kids cry! I can't think of any other noteworthy games but there are plenty of other games that I have played. I went through a phase of MOBA games about 2 years in League of Legends and 1 year of DOTA 2. Both games are extremely fun although I prefer Dota 2 much more due to the nature and playstyle of the game. It is more about team composition and strategy since you can play any character you want as opposed to the way league of legends works where people just play whatever they want to play. What kind of content do you prefer to PvP, PvE, or both (PvX)? PvX What guilds have you played with and what roles did you have within the guild? I have been playing games since I was about 13 but mostly played with just a couple of friends. I was in an sPvP and tPvP guild in Guild wars 2 which was pretty fun but it was small and didn't get too far due to leadership issues. The only real "guild" that I have been in is XoO in PlanetSide 2. I played as a normal member for about 1 month. I got promoted to squad leader for about 1-2 months. I then became an officer and am still an officer currently for the division. What brings you to XoO and why did you choose us? I am already in XoO in the PlanetSide 2 division. I joined because of the structure and goals of the guild as it matches my interests greatly. I typically go more for PvP in games and XoO has good representation in many PvP oriented games. This guild is the best choice for me because its goals are shared with my goals like I previously stated. I also enjoy the organized play that it offers. List some of the things that you think will make you an asset to XoO. I can listen to orders and adjust my playstyle to whatever the guild requires at the time. In PlanetSide 2 I have almost every vehicle and class certed out because I prefer to play whatever is most helpful at the time rather than picking a favorite for myself. I enjoy all classes and changing it up keeps me interested in the game. It seems like Final Fantasy will also offer mechanics that support this playstyle and I will probably pick my main class based on what we lack as a division at the time of release. I am really digging Thaumaterge/Black mage though and am looking forward to trying Summoner as well. You are in a middle of a raid and the raid leader calls out a command you don't think will work out. Do you hesitate and contest, or do you listen anyways and speak your mind after the fact? Depends on the situation and what my suggestion would be. If I do not have a better alternative that I can explain in less than 3 seconds then I just follow along and play my role to the best of my ability. If it is an easy adjustment that makes sense and the decision making process can occur in less than 5 seconds with whatever my idea is then I may speak up. Typically though I would rather just follow orders and if we fail then I offer my suggestion so that we can try again with a new approach. I believe that following orders and organization and remaining positive far outweighs anything else in competitive/cooperative play. A little bit about yourself? *Gaming history, habits, etc...* I am engaged and in my last 2 semesters of my Computer Science degree. I enjoy playing video games and spending time with my fiance for my past time. I currently work part time and am taking 5 classes this summer (most of which are online). I have played many games since the age of about 13 including both Guild Wars games, PlanetSide 2, and other smaller F2P titles. I also played a lot of League of Legends and Dota 2. How many hours do you play per week, on average? When my schedule is in place I normally say I will play about 15 per week. However that number usually is much much higher than 15 per week ~ hah. Were you reffered to XoO? If so, enter the name of the person who referred you to XoO - List the best times for your interview Just send me a PM on the forums but typically any weekday after 9:00 PM I am available unless I have other engagements planned. Have you applied to the FF XIV:ARR usergroup? Yes
