I was a WoW player forever until around Cata, then drifted around from game to game, eventually settling in GW2 thinking 'Okay, THIS will be my game.' That lasted about six months before I was sick of it. I didn't even know FFXIV 1.0 was a THING. I had never heard of it until I heard a co-worker talking about getting into the beta for 2.0.
On a lark I applied for beta, got signed up, installed, and waited. Beta day came and I started it up and from those very first music cues I was HOOKED. I think I made a lancer first and was just blown away moment to moment by how the game felt and sounded and the visuals my god the visuals.
I've never been a twitchy gamer so the slower pace of fighting if XIV was a welcome treat and I've never played a game where there was such a good balance between difficulty and accessability. And this community. *grabs the RPC and gives it a noogie* This community right here is so amazing and welcoming.
FFXIV feels like home and I cannot wait to see what Yoshi-P has in store for us.
