First off, I truly want more people to play FFXIV. It's the only MMO I've ever stuck with through the years for many reasons other than my own, and the devs and the community at large have been wonderful. That said, I found that enumerating the numerous benefits of FFXIV, advantages over the competition, etc. are an overutilized way to convince someone to even try out the game. After binging episodes of Rick Steves Europe and Planet Earth, I decided to make travel videos of Eorzea to show the mostly unseen side of Final Fantasy XIV: environmental storytelling. This is the first episode of what I'm hoping will be many!
