I am extremely proud of myself right now

Last time I played FFXIV, I got nervous about fighting Ravana and quit playing for a month or two.

I came back yesterday and brushed up on my healing a bit, and today I just beat Ravana!

The fight went decently, I think. We wiped once. I think that one was partly my fault. I didn't realize I was the one with the purple circle around me so I was trying to run away from it, and...well, I was the one with the circle and it got me and someone else killed! So, that was one healer down, and then the tank fell off the cliff, and, yeah.

Second time around went fine. We had a couple deaths, but nothing that couldn't be revived, except for two people, who fell off the cliff early on.


Not only did I beat Ravana, but I also just did Sohm Al as well! Got to say, I really, really liked Sohm Al. It wasn't too healing intensive, which was rather nice. The last fight was fun running around. The second fight got a little rough at one point because I was targeted with every single one of the attacks where he slows the slimes, but I managed to heal myself up between each one, so it was okay. The first fight was absolutely trivial. The trash before it was harder. Fun fights.

I'm feeling really good right now, since I have never done real content while it's still rather current before. I mean, in WoW I'm level 100 but I've never done any dungeons or anything. It's nice to be doing dungeons in a game I'm comfortable with (as in, FFXIV). I can't see myself getting a static and doing Alexander or anything just yet, but dungeons are nice.

Happy Heavensward Launch Day!

Whoo!

Okay, I've had early access for the past few days so today's not actually all that special to me, but for many people, it is!

Now, if only I was the right level / progressed enough through the storyline to go to the new content!

I'll just settle for playing as an Au Ra!

Yup, there's what I finally settled with. Kind of. My original character, Cardboard Viking, is a Xaela, but I ended up making this character here (Ayame Miyumi) because I wanted to heal and I'm enjoying this character a lot more as well. Probably going to use White Mage, although I might try Scholar, and I'll definitely do the new healing class when I get up there. :)

Exciting exciting, I say!

Heavensward Early Access Day 1

Day 1 of early access!

Yay yay! I want to make my Au Ra but I don't have access to internet right now. So I am very sad.

Okay, I've decided on a character!

After making 20+ different characters in the Heavensward Benchmark, I think I've decided what one I'm going to use my Fantasia for!

Xaela Au Ra

This one right here. I'm kind of torn as to if I want the nose scales or not. Same with the rings on the horns. I really like her eyes too. They look white from here, but if you see them closer up they are blue with grey limbal rings.

I am wicked excited. I've got my pre-order all ready and everything. Now, here's hoping the launch will be smooth (doubt it will, but I can dream), and the queue for Adamantoise won't be too long.

I might still post my other Au Ra designs because I liked most of them, it's just that this one is my absolute favorite of them.
