I did the usual character creation stuff. Good thing I didn't painstakingly make it look exactly like me, because after all that was said and done, I covered it all up with my cool Samurai armor. I didn’t go too deep into the creator this time around, just picked a preset closest to my actual self and made some general tweaks.

For the longest time, I’ve been a big gamer. It started with video games and I soon adopted tabletop games. Whenever I find interest in something, I like to find the root of that given thing.

Now with the restraints off, I was free to explore the world past level 20. Of course, I stuck to my original pick of Archer. The beautiful, yet scary part about the class system of FFXIV, I can easily switch to whatever I wanted to play at anytime.

The hype train is live and taking over the world! But before that, let’s start at the beginning, my beginning. Being a fan of Pokemon ever since the anime first came out, I was more than ecstatic to play this. I was really hyped when it was announced and even developing jealousy when I saw friends on the early beta/early regions/hacked copies. I refreshed my Play Store constantly around the time it opened up. It was when I was on my commute on the Bart home when I was finally able to download and start my adventure.
