I'm excited to become part of this community. Â I don't have a lot of RPing experience but playing through FFXIV beta I found it hard not to become very attached to my character and creating a background/origin story for him.
I've decided to do this through more of a graphic novel than the traditional forum post. Â All the art is directly from screenshots in game that have gone through a few filters so I make no claim to being a great artist . Â I have only a few pages so far which flashback to before the Great Calamity. Â The first part should cover my character's involvement and eventual transportation into the new realm. Â Was looking to see if anyone had any comments or feedback on the art style, readability of the text, layout or lore. Â Please excuse the typos in these initial drafts. Â I do plan on going back and redoing the text so I've elected to just get on doing more pages for the time being. Â
I do have one question for you experts on the stuff. Â Is there an actual date for the Great Calamity? Â Thanks in advance!
