I recently was thinking about how long I’ve been playing the game, and I’m curious about you lot.

I haven’t done an official /playtime in a while, but this year being the 10th anniversary of A Realm Reborn, I recall my days and nights early in 2013 playing the beta tests on my PS3. At the time, I was living with a friend of mine, and we had two TVs in the living room going as we got our temporary characters up to level 20 over a weekend only for those characters to be wiped out.

But it was fun running through that early game, learning the systems, getting reminded why leaving WoW was a good idea (not a single person asked about my DPS! …in maybe my whole time in this game, actually.).

So after ten years of playing my favorite little Lala, I look forward to seeing where this story goes from here.

How about you all? What’s your story?

    I started playing in the beginning in this year, but I have been aware of the game for a while. Because of the Ost that I’ve heard from the game(Ultima, Under the weight, Rise, eScape) . Tried the trial a year ago when I saw the trailer for Endwalker and it caught my eye but I didn’t get far into it. Decided to commit to the game this year and now It has become one of my favourite game I’ve played in years.

      That’s awesome. I’m glad you are enjoying it.

      It’s probably my favorite game of all time…that’s an mmo. I like to say that my ultimate favorite is FF6. But 14 is just so good.

        Funny that you mentioned ff6, it’s regretably the only other FF I’ve really put time into. (I haven’t even finished it yet but I’ll have to another day) But even then catching the references to ff6 in FFXIV really was a cool experience
