there are just too many people in my orbit having an absolute blast with it and frankly I'm excited to get out of my genre comfort zone - I've more or less never played an MMORPG at all before this
it's gonna be a bit before I start; I'm going to resume streams next weekend with a schedule of Dark Souls 1 Randomized, Metroid Fusion, and Outer Wilds. Whenever I finish one of those, I think FFXIV will take its place!
