Thank you so much for being here in the first place, and thank you for your question, too. :) Things are a LOT better, and we have now managed to almost fully restaff. :) This does do a world of difference. I hope you and yours are well, too. :) Stay safe, and be well.
Wow! I did not expect Fay to draw the whole scene with Thancred. That's above and beyond! I hope it was fun to sketch as it was to see, and it was lovely to hear the answers to all these wonderful questions.
Aww, thank you. And I really wished I'd done that one better. >___< It didn't at all turn out as I wanted it to. ^^;; Maybe I'll re-sketch it at some point, but I could fittingly do that in a video where I talk a bit more about the great question you posed, because I think that's a bigger topic than what I managed to cover here. :)
Eeee! Welcome back Fay! It was great to see all this art, and some amazing questions (and replies!). Definitely going to be subbing to the FaySMR channel! I'm also sitting here fan-boying over your rendition of Phyrra (it would be wonderful to actually have a copy of these sketches)! Such a great sketch! :3 edit: Oh oh! Me and my group managed to reach Floor 100 (TWICE) on Heaven on High! Going for that mount!
I just cashed in bed when it was finally done rendering, but I meant to say that I would upload it on Twitter (and also here, now). ^^ If you'd like your character in a seperate file, do give me a poke. ^___^ I would love to send it to you! And congratulations on floor 100! Holy heck, HoH is so cruel at times! XD We went in there at a point on a "what the heck"- and "What do you need to level?"-logic, and we got WAY beyond where we had any business being, but it is so tough. XD So congrats! Get that mount! :D And thank you for your question, and I will see you on the FaySMR channel. ^^
I hope you like it, and please don't feel like you have to consume the whole damned thing! ^^;; But thank you for asking the question, and have a really lovely day, too! :D
I had been looking forward to this so much! It was an absolute treat to just listen to this and relax after a rough weekend, it really gave me the chill I needed to wind down
I am so happy to have you back in the comments. ^^ Like we talked about on Discord, it just seemed so unfair and so consistent, I have no idea what YT thought was wrong, but it is GREAT to have you back. :D And thank you so much for the drawing! I truly loved it then and I was really honoured! Thanks for allowing me to share it with everyone. :)
Welcome back Fay, I'm glad your work situation is not as draining anymore. Thank you so much for answering my question and drawing my character. I looove that you drew the tiny rat on my character's head, that was unexpected but great!
*laughs* I have been playing elezens for too long or maybe my old French lessons are just stuck in me. ^^;; Right, well, sorry about the name. :) I am really happy you liked the drawing. ^__^ It is an a-DORable tiny rat, so I couldn't not have it in there. ^___^ And thank you for the question, I enjoyed answering it. Best of days to you! ^___^
Welcome back and thank you for answering my question! I relate heavily to growing up in a majorly Christian household and being discouraged to do certain things, although for me it was Yu-Gi-Oh instead of DnD 😂 I definitely have always had in interest in it though, just never was able to find a group in my area, but luckily I have FF14 as a vehicle to get started RPing. That being said though, I'm glad to have you back and I wish nothing but the best for you now and forever 😌
And Ffxiv is certainly not a bad place to start your RPing career! It really is a fun hobby. 😊 And thank you for your well wishes, they warm the heart. Best of days to you, too. 😊🤗
Not at all what I was expecting from Fay's backstory, I assumed she was an arcanist or a scholar but really really cool to find out nonetheless. Also the picture of Fay and I assume her mother with a hatching Doris is adorable and I love it.
This is indeed her mother, yes, and well, I tried to figure if Fay could be an arcanist, as I loved the potential interactions between her and a carbie, but... ^^;; Well, she's just not focused enough to be able to channel in the very systematic ways that the arcanists channel. ^^;; So I figured that while she does have a strong aetherical body, she is likely more swinging towards more intuition and chant-based forms of channeling rather than the programming ones. :) Essentially, though, she will forever be my wandering storyteller. ^^ And thank you for your question and I am really stoked you like the art. ^^ Best of days to you!
Welcome back Fay!! It’s nice hearing your elf voice!! Hope you’re doing well. Have you considered doing something like voice for audiobook? I think I could just listen to you read or tell stories! Also any advice for starting role playing in ffxiv? I usually play solo ffxiv and get anxious or envious of role players
@@FinalFay Ooohh! I cant wait for storytimefay!! With a bonfire background and ambiance. I subbed to your other channel :) Thank you for advice, I just get really anxious trying out role playing especially I don’t know if there are rules or how to start conversation . I do play in Crystal, and there are a lot of RP… so overwhelming.
@@HithenameisJohn I get that. It is overwhelming at first, which is why it is great to just go to a smaller group near the edge of a hub, or maybe even join one of the RP discords to see if there's any event or openworld thing to join. ^^ RPing with more than a few people will very quickly become stressful because of the scrolling chat-log and the feeling of needing to read and relate to anything. However, just as we can fail to pick up on stuff that's addressed at us in real life, so can your character. ^^ And it does help to remind yourself that it's quite fine to be new at something. Some people even write "New to RP." under the brief character description they make. Upon reflection I think I really will put up something on the topic on the other channel. :) Hopefully I should have a bit of time to write and record next week. :) But I am so happy you brought this to my attention, because yes, that can be a bit daunting to get into.
Welcome back 🥰 I love the drawing of my Sylphie so much I could cry 🥺 And it was really worth it to wait for that video, you answered the questions really in depth and I love it 😊 The answers were also super interesting :o The catholic teacher you had sound exactly like my grandma, she would go livid if she knew I play FF cx I hope that you take commissions one day, I would love to have a commissioned drawing from you :)
Aww, thank you so much! I am so thrilled you liked it! ^___^ And also that you found the answers interesting. ^^;; It did get a bit rambly at times, though. And yep. I respect her religious views of course, but the way she had to force that very narrowing view of something she had no knowledge about and no interest in onto young students? Well, it didn't work, for one thing, and it certainly didn't have the intended result. XD And I will, some day, but things have to be a bit more stable at work for a bit before I trust that I WILL have the time to do it properly. ^^;;
Oh no, why do I only see this has been uploaded 2 weeks later?? ;-; Regardless though, it's so nice to see some content from you, and I think you did a fantastic job on this, drawings and answers both! (Seigetsu makes for a great Thinker xD) Hope you're doing well Fay, and thank you so much for the effort you put into this! :3 (And from one Dane to another, your accent is great! I barely suspected you were Danish before you yourself said so.)
Aww, thank you so much. ^^ I am happy the accent isn't too bad, but well, you'll know as well as I do that some words are just... struggle-food to our tongues. =___= And thank you so much! He really is a great thinker. XD He was absolutely one of the highlights of the Beasttribe story. ^^;; With a little bit of a flare in the pandemic-panic right now, I am a little busy again, but it is way way better than before! ^___^ Which is great. I hope you're doing well, too and that you're staying safe as well.
@@FinalFay And here I am just thinking that regular Christmas preparations are more than exhausting enough. ;_; I don't know exactly what it is you do, but I just want to let you know that it is greatly appreciated. People like you, who are putting in so much extra effort whenever the pandemic ramps up again, truly make a big difference to so many others! So thank you so much! And you stay safe as well, you hear!
Thank you so much, Eva. :) I am doing well, though things have been super hectic, but I will hopefully soon have time to sit down and make another video. ^^ I really do miss making them, but I also don't want to stress over it too much, because I feel like that'd first of all make for a pretty shitty product ^^;; and second of all, it wouldn't be as fun. :) So don't worry, I'm not dead, despite what my inner drama llama may have claimed upon return from long days!
@@FinalFay Well please don't push to release one, I didn't want to add any stress. I was just hoping your silence was due to the mundane and hopefully not COVID or anything. Hopefully you've been able to enjoy EW!
1 Hour :o I actually told Lucron the other day that this entire story so far is just as much Alphinaud, Alisaie and well most of the scions's hero's journey. Omg, EQ:Next :< I was so let down, it still hurts.
A moment of silence for EQ:Next. ;___; I loved it so mcuh. I played Landmark in giddy anticipation. I was onboard for Wildstar so early on, too.. And now I know that I am just the cursed passenger on the Hype Train. ^^;; So better not board it! XD And yes! It really is! Like both of them get the call to adventure when you come poking them, but both of them have stuff that is binding them to their new "normal" environment, and they are actually not willing to go, even though their mentor (you) is telling them that they have to. Then shit starts to get real, and they have no choice. We have to sit down one day and go through this at some point, because I think it IS very closely crafted around the monomyth! :D Which is fantastic! And yeah, an hour. ^^;; Because I am wordy and dumb and can't keep things short and sweet. XD
@@FinalFay The biggest "duh" moment when I was thinking about it was....cause I started in Uldah, they're on the cart with you. They're 2 of the first 3 people you see. And it looked as if they were just starting off in Eorzea the same time as you. So, it clicks for me. Hope you're well Fay :D
@@OutlawViIe This is so true! Their story in ARR is following yours, and they have their own arcs that seem at the very least as developed as yours, if not more! FFXIV truly is their coming of age story, isn't it?
Thanks for your answer to my questions! I'm also in the same position where I haven't verified my address for YT's payment, weird they can't find my address either, I just kinda decided to roll with it and keep making content as a hobby. Anyway, sorry for the long comment, thanks for this huge video!
No worries about long comments! Ever! ^^ I write walls of texts everywhere, and like you can tell from the video, I am absolutely NO good at keeping my lines short. >___< I think we should maybe try to ask them to send the verification thing again, but who knows, maybe it really has been Covid that has kept them from doing so this far? Either way, I am not in a hurry to get it, I just wished really that I could donate it to another TH-camr or charity, so that it is not just sitting there in YT's bank, doing no good to anyone. :/ And it IS a cool hobby to have, and it is fun to put something out there that people enjoy! ^___^
Sooooooo…..i’mma TAD bit late to this party, but i do wanna say…….May you stay forever gay everyday, Fay. Been a mobius minute, but it was well worth the wait, cuz it always a pleasure to hear that friendly voice. Also, tanker tots are the greatest race to ever grace the face of this realm, DON’T @ ME XD (And “gay” as in “HAPPY”, you hooligans B3)
@@FinalFay Lolol its just a lil' something i refer to myself and other tank main popotos, is all XD And the fact that i could return the favor by crackin' a smile outta yah during these times is more than enough for me. Much much MUCH love for all that you do, here AND at work, and i hope that you take it easy till the next time we see you, eh? Otherwise, i'm tattling (or biting your ankles, as is one of my stature's wont, ig ^w^)
I will absolutely love to do that. :) I may put it on the other channel, though, considering that it'd likely have little audience here. ^^ But I would love to just read some stories for you guys, and thankfully there are many in FFXIV to pick from. :)
Ah, "Hey, this is Fay" blesses my ears once more. Welcome back!
Thank you so much!
