Welcome to my

FFXI Adventurer Shrine!

For me, the most memorable part of a video game is the story I can create within its world. Final Fantasy XI is no different -- among the battles that sparked legends in the gaming community, music that triggers memories of childhood in both active and former players, and storylines that inspired future Final Fantasy titles, what I think of most fondly is the little Mithran monk that I play as.

When I first created Nemhi in December 2024, my primary inspiration was creating someone that would be the opposite of my Final Fantasy XIV Miqo’te. He, T’saya, is a serious and dignified Red Mage with a lengthy and traumatic backstory. T’saya has saved the world time and time again, and his strength is essentially uncontested across Hydaelyn. Nemhi, meanwhile, is an airheaded former athlete whose only motivation for adventuring is finding her missing twin brother. And when I say she’s a breath of fresh air to write... I mean it!

I intended her as sort of an ascended NPC, like your party member in a JRPG whose story is pretty simple -- but then, she has to fill in the protagonist’s shoes, despite not having a lot of the standard player character tropes; no dead parents, no burned village, no legendary ability.

As my adventures throughout Vana’diel have started to form into something I could call a complete narrative”, I think this vision has remained mostly true. Nemhi might be a bit basic character-wise, and yet... she’s completely stolen my heart. I hope you’ll understand why as you explore my page!
