How Long Have You Played This Game? (self.finalfantasyxiv)

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, too, like summoner a lot being a Scholar main. It’s fun for me to swap over and make some big explosions from time to time.

I’m glad to hear you’ve tried some healing. I think it’s so fun in this game; I like having that responsibility, and throwing down a well timed LB3 to save a run is sooo good.
