Well, I've finally managed to finish 1.X & 2.X and arrived at Ishgard! Now first off, let me say that I didn't expect that to happen at the banquet (No Spoilers Of Course )
What transpired really kicked things off for me, and that was the first time I felt something for this game; excitement that is. It was told to me that the story (Base) was great and it's what moved me to finish it and see what all the excitement was about. I'm sorry, but it wasn't there for me. Maybe it was because I had high expectations for it and was let down. Hence, I'm here now to gain reassurance that HW is better; much better in fact than the base.

Any extra comments or remarks are well appreciated. I'm an open-minded, reasonable individual so I enjoy reading (not listening at this point) other people's thought and opinion.
