Thanks to this Final Fantasy 14 roleplayer survey, I know exactly how basic my Warrior of Light’s backstory is

A Final Fantasy 14 roleplaying survey has prompted one community member to reassess their character’s backstory. The article explores findings from a player-conducted survey that measures and compares the complexity and detail of Warrior of Light character backgrounds across the game’s roleplaying community.

The author, an active MMO roleplayer, discovered through the survey results that their character’s backstory is relatively basic compared to the elaborate narratives crafted by other community members.
