Default Eyes on You wonders how many people will be sick with envy at KoShiatar's job

Hmmm?

01) What is your real name?
Francesca

02) What're your Nicknames, if you have any?
Online: KoShiatar
Offline: Fra, Ko, Koshi

03) How old are you, and when's your birthday?
I'll be 29 on the 14th of October.

04) How tall are you, and how much do you weigh?
I'm 158 cm tall and I weigh 54 kg. If anyone cares to convert that into feet and pounds, feel free to do so. :P

05) Are you a male or female? A hermaphrodite? Quina?
I'm a woman.

06) Where do you live? (City and State/Country)
I come from Vicenza, Italy, but I am currently living in Frankfurt Am Main, Germany.

07) What is your occupation? (If you're a student, what grade/year are you in?)
I play videogames for a living. Well, pretty much so, because I am a game tester at Nintendo of Europe.

08) What is your hair color? Eye color? (If you use dye and/or colored contacts, include both the false and natural colors)
I have dark blonde hair and green eyes. I've dyed my hair pretty much every shade in nature (and some not existing in nature) except for platinum blonde and jet black, and I keep changing every few months, however my favorite hair dye is flaming red. Currently my hair is dark chestnut, but I don't know how long it's still going to last.

09) Do you have any brothers or Sisters? If you do, how old are they?
I've got a sister, and she's 38.

10) What size shoe do you wear?
It's an Italian 38, which is a little bit smaller than an US 7. But my feet seem to be getting smaller by the day, since the two last pairs of shoes I bought were a 36 and a 37. 

Entertainment
11) What's your favorite video game?
Hard to say. It changes with time. But the one I've been playing longest is probably Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair. I tried it for the first time, like, 18 years ago, and I still love it.

12) And more specifically, which Final Fantasy title is your favorite?
VI wins.

13) Favourite FF character? Why?
Vincent and Kain. I love men with unrequited love issues and angsty consequences

14) Favourite gaming genre? (ie: RPG, action, etc)
RPG.

15) Favourite TV show?
I don't have a favorite.

16) Favourite music genre? (ie: punk, country, etc)
Rock, but I listen to a lot of different things.

17) List five of your favorite bands/singers/musicians
Tori Amos, the Smashing Pumpkins (Well, mostly before Machina… >_>), Cocteau Twins, Radiohead, P. J. Harvey.

18) Favourite movie?
Tonari no Totoro

19) Favourite movie genre? (ie: comedy, romance, etc)
Not sure about that, but I don't like romantic comedies.

20) Favourite actor/actress?
Nicole Kidman.

EoFF
21) Why did you join EoFF in the first place?
I was writing my graduation thesis, and I was looking from stuff about Final Fantasy. I liked the boards, and so I stayed.

22) Have you ever met anyone from the boards?
Sadly, no.

23) If you could spend the day with anyone from EoFF, who would it be and what would you do?
Probably Kishi. I'd unveil his mysteries. But I'm not sure if I really want to do that. I'm a little bit scared.

24) Do you frequent any other message boards? If so, which?
Plenty! Most of them are Italian, like www.alfabetolot.com, http://www.flashbook-edizioni.it/forum/, the forums at romhacking.it, and more. Do a Google search and see what you get with KoShiatar, it's almost always me.

25) Were you ever known here as any other screen name, or do you still go by your original?
I was originally known as Werecanary. Back in 2001, I also used the name Happyphantom.

Love
26) Are you currently in a relationship? If you arent, would you like to be?
Yes.

27) Where did you meet your significant other?
At my working place, in Frankfurt.

28) Have you ever been in love?
Yes, but I wasn't always requited.

29) If you could marry anyone in the world (based off love, money, or merely physical attraction), who would it be?
Not sure. Perhaps marrying some Japanese rockstar could be fun, but I don't like the average Japanese male's mentality towards women.

30) How old were you when you received your first kiss?
Older than you'd think, actually.

Miscellaneous

31) Do you have a Mission in life? Or something you vow you will do before you die?
My mission in life is to find my mission in life. In the meantime, I try to do the best that I can.

32) Where is your dream holiday/vacation destination?
Japan.

33) What is your greatest achievement in life thus far?
Making myself independent from my parents.

34) On the flipside, what is your greatest regret, if you have any? If you don't, why not?
Not having been able to fully develop my artistic and linguistic skills. In other words, not having been yet able to go to an art school and to Japan to study in a language school.

35) If you could have dinner with 5 people from any point in history, who would you invite over and why?
1) Jesus. I'm sure he would be a great person to meet and the bestest of friends.
2) Salvador Dali. My favourite male painter and a brilliant, if eccentric, personality.
3) Frida Kahlo. The way she expressed a woman's deepest pains in her paintings, nobody did.
4) St. Francis, because he's my favorite saint and most of the people from the Church I've met that I've really liked were Franciscans.
5) I'd like to have Kurt Cobain. But since I believe he wanted peace, I'll leave him alone. Instead I'll call someone from the future, so he can tell me how it will be.

36) If you could have the power to use one act of god, to do ANYTHING, but only for one shot, what would you do?
I'd stop all child abuse in the world forever.

37) Do you like to dance? Lets dance!
*Dances the moogle dance*

38) What's the moon REALLY made of?
What, it's not made of cheese?

39) Do you have any particular hobbies other than gaming?
Drawing and painting, reading, Internet surfing, roleplaying.

40) What's your masterplan for life? How do you live?
I'm not sure I have a masterplan. I live by the day right now. I just want to be serene and happy.

Is there any downsides to the job?

What is your favourite anime/manga?

It is, even tough it's a real job and it can be stressing and demanding just like any other job.

A friend told me about this email she got signalling the job to her. She thought it could be the right thing for me. Around Europe, tester jobs are advertised at temporary job companies and on newspaper announcements.

Harvest Moon DS. PUAGH.

No.

Of course. As I said, it is a real job. Things are pretty relaxed now, but there were times when I had to struggle.

Oh yes. It just depends on what your interests are. There are lots of museums, a botanic garden, Sachsenhausen which is the touristic part of the city, and so on. Write me a PM, I'll explain you in more detail. And I can be a guide to the best Japanese restaurants in town.

Hum... I think Ushio and Tora.

Yes

It does, in Germany at least (prices are less expensive than in Italy).

No. Sometimes we also have third-party games.

No, Alpha versions are for the Mario Club in Japan. But I did play Twilight Princess looong before it was released.

I wouldn't know how to, sorry. But I'm pretty sure that by doing some googling you can find out about jobs at Nintendo of America. They have a very strong testing department as far as I know, and if you have good skills with your mother language they could be willing to hire you. But I don't know much about how things work out there.
