The only other FF game I've ever played was Tactics Advance, and that was more because my criteria at the time were "good turn-based RPG for a handheld" as opposed to "FFA specifically".

Anywho, I came here from WoW because WoW was feeling ungodly boring. And I pretty much realized that the exact same things that made WoW boring to me will make this game boring to me eventually, but it'll be several months yet as I haven't seen the whole world yet and all the superficial differences are still novel.

As for the references, I like them. Gives me a starting point for looking stuff up in the wiki. I'm a sucker for lore wikis.
