Well a little backstory.
I originally played the game back when ARR came out. Got the PS3 CE(god what an awful version) and the PC version(actually a copy of 1.0 from Kmart on Clerence) day 1. Played through the story on a Monk. Got the Raid ready gear(whatever it was called) and then called it quits. Even back in my WoW days I've never been into Raiding. I like the progression to that point and doing the high level dungeons and well dungeons are the best part of FFXIV. But the key difference unlike WoW(Vanilla anyway) was that you had to do the dungeons and hope for the drops for your class. In XIV you just kept on doing the dungeons for the points to unlock the stuff. Pros and cons for both ways, but whatever I got bored and then sold my character.
But again FFXIV is really fun so I had the itch to come back. The PS4 was out now so I bought that version and another PC copy. The expansions weren't out, but the progression had changed. Now you had to get gear that looked like slightly more shinny versions of the Base Job outfits and make your weapon special. I did that for a Mage, Monk, Pally, and Scholar, and Summoner. I mean it was fun. Going through ARR's story again kind of sucked, but the hard mode stuff was good.
But again I got kind of bored. Sold my character because I needed money.
But I always have an itch to play.
So they have that 7 Day come back promo now and well hell I thought I'd see if I could login to an old account. Scummy maybe, to see if I could steal back my account. Hey whatever(it worked in WoW several times). It did'nt here, but at some point I must have made another account, but only got as far as level 30. I don't remember this. Either way I wanted to see what the game would look like on my computer.
So I start playing again and am like "man there's maybe a bit too much to do and starting so low kind of sucks.
But hey there's these boosts and even more so some dude on ebay is selling them for a bit cheaper. So I buy the boosts for the jobs I use to have. I mean I kind of remember how to play them. I buy the story skip to get to Hevansword. I really want to get to Stormblood ,but I've heard good things about this expansion.
I'm interested in some of the new jobs, but I want to learn them so I won't level boost those. I've never done crafting, just really focused on the story and dungeons. Which is all I want to do.
