Just sent out all the emails, so please keep an eye out on your inboxes!
Again, thank you all for your help and support, and while I truly wanted to interview everyone, I have a deadline and I had to prioritize those who fit my school schedule. Thank you for understanding!
THIS IS SOOO CUTEEEEEE
more halmarut.. #ffxiv
im so rusty its over
some arr cyrunes…
aawawww so cutes
sorry to ask for help again. i found a really good deal for a bipap (cpap but more complex). getting one through insurance is too hard so i'm buying one myself. regular cpap doesn't help me at all, so it's likely i'll find some relief w/ bipap instead.
anything helps!! 🙏

I received over 50 responses, and unfortunately will have to prioritize those whose schedules work with mine!
However, I loved reading everyone's notes and I wish I could hear about everyone's WoLs and characters! Maybe when I'm out of school and can just hang out in game again...!!
Form is now closed!
Thank you all for your responses and support, and I will be in contact in about 1-2 weeks!
It's a bit of juggling with the school, and due to time constraints I may end up interviewing less people than I previously aimed for, but I hope it will still be a good study!

this is so beautiful omfg the colors....
Apologies for the wait! The form is up again with the study consent and university information!
I will keep the form open until tomorrow, and sort through and contact potential participants by next week!
Thank you all again for all the kind words and support!
thank you so much!! i hope this doesn't affect the responses i already received, but im really glad it was brought to my attention and im super grateful for everyone's kindness and understanding!
thank you so much! i truly do appreciate you telling me about it though, i’ve emailed my mentor and i’ll probably close the form for a bit until i can get it sorted even if i know the data will be safe! i definitely want to do it the proper way. thank you again!
sorry if this seems unprofessional! this in no way reflects my school nor my mentors, it’s on me!
basically no one but me is going to see the data and the info for the paper would be whoever’s interviewed which id get consent for and of course everyone would be anonymous. but again i’ll definitely look into it and ask my thesis advisor!
oh!! its a personal form and i never got told how to do it lol. im doing it myself and im an undergrad anthropology major at CUNY! i‘ll def look into it and add it in. thesises arent required at my school and our department is kinda small so ive been kind of figuring it out myself sorry!
thank you, i really appreciate it!!

thank you so much!! im nervous but i gotta remind myself its only undergrad so its not that serious lolol
Thank you all for your time and interest, and I would really appreciate any shares! Feel free to ask any questions in the comments or DMs(?), and I will do my best to answer. It's still a big work in progress right now and the deadline is looming, but I'll forge ahead!
Interviews will be conducted online, through a format of the participant's choosing. It can be video, audio, or simply text-based.
I am looking to interview about 10 people, but the number may change depending on number of responses!
I am also going to compensate interviewees with art of their WoLs/characters (if they would like), which I will deliver after my thesis is completed, If that gives anyone any incentive! :D
My thesis is about self-expression and community building within FFXIV, specifically of players who identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQ. As a queer Asian-American, I wanted to examine how players like me and my friends utilize FFXIV as a form of connection and "radical play".
A flyer calling for interview participants for my undergraduate thesis. It uses the FFXIV Quest Box UI, with a blue quest marker. The "quest" title is "Interview Participants Needed!", with the description being: "Evan is seeking capable adventurers to help him complete his undergraduate thesis." The reward is a exorbitant 0 gil, and the image is a lalafell (modeled after myself) clutching his head over books. The details are listed in FFXIV dialogue bubbles, reading: "Hello! I am looking to interview FFXIV players of any minority group (e.g.: racial, ethnic, LGBT/queer) about their WoLs, experiences playing the game, and community! All participants will be kept anonymous." "If interested, please fill out this Google Form and I will get back to you within 1-2 weeks: https://forms.gle/bqicHVRR3AVzZEAX8 Thank you for your support!"
Hi!! I haven't been active because I have been busy trying to graduate, and now I need some help from my fellow Warriors of Light!
I am looking for FFXIV players to interview about their characters and experiences playing the game.
More information in the thread!
