I was playing GW2 at the time after getting totally fed up of WoW at the tail end of patch 5.3. My friends were all talking about it and I had refused to even bother with it because I wasn't really a Final Fantasy fan to begin with, and I heard something something catpeople ("What?! UGH!").
Then, my friend sent me a screenshot of his Highlander. The graphics impressed me, and mmmyes Highlander, but it still WASN'T ENOUGH. I stubbornly refused to play until two friends of mine purchased it for me for my birthday.Â
Gosh, it was pretty but I HATED IT. A 2.43 second GCD? Were they serious?! Did that guy in the opening cutscene say 'Uwaaah!'? So many CAT PEOPLE EVERYWHERE, GROSS.Â
But I played. I met up with my friends and roleplayed with them. I had fun. I did my first few dungeons and really really enjoyed how much they felt like DUNGEONS and not STACK AND RUN THROUGH AND AOE TO WIN. I fought babbu Ifrit, which blew me away with the visuals, mechanics and music.Â
Very, very rapidly, I fell in love.
It's been almost a year since then, and I have no regrets!
