Olleh folks!
I'm a first time roleplayer that's been playing FF since I was 12 - the GBA opened my eyes to the extraordinary stories of Breath of Fire, Golden Sun, and Final Fantasy 4.
I adore any kind of media that can move me, and un/fortunately videogames happen to be the one medium that happen to provide me with fantastically composed music, gloriously copious worlds and characters, and perhaps most of, an intimate connection to the characters and stories that drive them. While I don't think FFxiv has the best story or atmosphere, it has still managed to capture me in the wonder of its myths and colour of its world, and I'd love to begin marking out my own stories within its bounds.
