Ohi

I tried this initially on LiveJournal, but we fell out and we're not speaking anymore. I decided to go out for a walk to clear my mind a little, and then bumped into Blogger who seemed like a much nicer guy, and had less angry buttons that wanted me to do things. I feel happier now, and I trust LJ is getting by much better without me in the way. It's all for the best.

Gogo copypasta:

Since finding mild entertainment in reading others' journals, I figured I'd go for making myself one for FFXI and see if that same small state of interest carries over into actually producing one. Well, that and every time I browse my old screenshots I feel the need to document each with a commentary in my head...

I've been playing FFXI for over three years now, since EU release or thereabouts (late 2004?...I forget), which doesn't really mean much, but it feels like I've been going for a while to me. But hey, who cares? I've had my main job, Red Mage at 75 for a good while now, so I'll spare you the story of the long climb to 75 since most see the game *really* starting at the higher levels. As a substitute, here's some oldpics:




Classic Guivre moment :]




I spent months farming/capping skills/questing RSE/etc at 40 and 50 during that period of hyperinflation way back when... but prices were all relative, I doubt it would be any less work getting started these days. Besides, it made me feel good that I could do it without bothering other people to help.




I wore some stupid stuff in my early levels (complete overhaul at 40 though :o) , but damn I didn't half look good. RDM/THF was the biggest thing to hit kazham, especially when I learned about enspells at level 25!




Earliest screenie to hand. I actually started as a Thief, intending to be a Dragoon when 'I grew up' (my actual words ._.), but soon my dreams were shattered by Crawler poison as I swapped jobs to something that could heal itself and ended up liking it.

Sigh...I honestly do intend to get DRG to 75 as my 'next' job (largely because it shares w.legs with RDM), but sans Homam, Ares and Odin's pointy stick I don't think I'll make it my main over RDM (not that my RDM is dripping with rare/ex shinies either ;-;).




I've migrated PC twice whilst playing, so the vast majority of my old screenshots are on other hard drives that I'm not too keen on seeking out at the moment. I have other stuff to do as well, really I do.

Moar will come. I have time now, but putting multiple entries on one day is not a good idea since I'll burn myself out fast and lose intrest, so I'll take it slowly. Not to mention I don't really know what I'm doing at the moment. :3
