I'll start!

>Favourite characters?

1# spot goes to the trailer midlander/Meteor. He may not appear in the game at all but he has my heart; he became an essential role in my wol's story. Actual NPCs are Lahabrea/Hephaistos, Erichthonios, and Thancred!
>Favourite expansion?
Endwalker and Stormblood are tied for wol lore, Shadowbringers for msq.
>How long have you been playing?/Which expansion did you start?
I've been playing for 3 years and started around the final patch of SHB just before the release of EW.
>Are you a Wol Shipper or Canon Shipper?
Wol Shipper and OC/OC shipper! I ship my Wol/Meteor and make yaoi OCs in the background (i.e 2x Vieras/Midlander shared between them, Divorced Xaela/Vagrant Hrothgar)
>Thoughts on latest patch releases and content?
Enjoying Dawntrail a lot so far! Luckily I immediately switched to JP dub the moment Wuk Lamat stepped in and my experience has significantly improved pretending the troon VA never existed. (I pity those who stuck around for the ENG dub, the direction was abysmal, troon pandering aside welcome back ARR) MSQ is alright, however its the mechanics and actual gameplay that I enjoy the most. The scenery and zones are gorgeous even as my computer is fighting for it life trying to load the 3rd zone xD

>Favourite characters?
G'raha Tia is in my number one spot but Erenville is now a strong second place.
>Favourite expansion?
If we're talking MSQ, Shadowbringers for sure. I've been planning to do a replay of it at some point. Probably if the unique NPCs get their graphics update.
>How long have you been playing?/Which expansion did you start?
I started in 2020 and caught up with the MSQ in 2021. In hindsight I wish I could've been current when 5.3 first dropped cause it sounds like it was a wild as hell time.
>Are you a Wol Shipper or Canon Shipper?
I used to ship my own WoL with G'raha tia but since I finished Dawntrail I switched over to WoL/Erenville. That being said I still love G'raha and follow tons of WoL/G'raha shippers who draw art of him with their own WoL or the trailer guy. Aside from that I've gotten into Vrtra/Estinien as well and the two male Viera NPCs from the Dawntrail Botanist/Miner delivery questline. I never imagined they'd be fujobait but then you do the questline and they canonically start living together and promise to go on a journey together one day.
>Thoughts on latest patch releases and content?
Honestly I found Dawntrail MSQ mid but the graphics look great and the battle content has been excellent so far.
>Everything else! (WoL Lore/Raiding progress/fanart.etc)
I wanna commission so much WoL/Ere art but I'm also curious where they will take his character in Dawntrail patches and feel like I should wait and see. Maybe he'll get a new outfit like Krile or some more interesting character writing moments. Also in regards to
>Glad to hear theres some XIV fujos on the site! I feel that the fandom is mostly overriden with het/yume shippers or general normie fans
I wonder if there's certain characters who draw more yumes to them than fujos. From my social media experience I feel like I've seen a pretty equal amount of yumes and fujos making G'raha Tia ship content but with Emet for instance I've never seen him shipped with a male OC.

>my experience has significantly improved pretending the troon VA never existed.
I was blaming the questionable EN performances on having a bad voice director, which likely is what happened as well, but in this case a youtube comment pointed out to me that Wuk's VA probably has to work harder in the first place to actually sound female which is going to make emotional acting and yelling more difficult and then the weird issues immediately clicked into place for me.

I really hope that Erenville is going to get more doujins in the future cause right now I've found one single M/M doujin with him on pixiv and nothing else. Would be nice if he becomes another fandom bicycle like G'raha tia. I just remembered I bought a bunch of Suemitsu Dicca doujins I hadn't even taken out of the plastic yet so I flipped through one. The art is real nice and I love how pathetic G'raha is for the male miqo WoL.

Just finished dawntrail and MAN the brainworms hit hard for Erenville, I loved the small moments of development where he begins to open up to the wol. Although he had a non-combatant background role for most of msq, I LOVE how he grew to have a bigger part in the last story arc.
There's so much wolship potential too! whether your wol is non-viera (the angst on lifespan differences) or Viera (long lifetime to adventure together!) it's nice to have a romance option outside of battle/high stakes and more on the exploration slice of life side of xiv lore. I hope we get to see him more in post-msq quests soon since he only began to shine near the end of the msq due to how wuk lamat centric the entire story was

YES! My thoughts exactly. I'm pretty hopeful about the patch content cause there's some hints he could be relevant in them.

I didn't mention it in my first post but I've been enjoying art of the bard quest boys too. While I was playing through the quests I did feel like I was third wheeling sometimes, lmao.

Yeah it's been a big hit with the artists I follow on twitter. It also bears an uncanny resemblance to a modded top that I've seen around. I really need to get it for my own viera once I get in the mood for crafting and gathering again.
