My Mom and I say thank you!

[Linka]

So since I started playing this game, my mom (61 years old) fell in love with it. The looks, the landscapes, the story... she admires everything and praises everyone involved for their great imagination and talent they had, to create such a beautiful world.
Though she would never try to play it by herself. She never played any games ever and her language is limited to polish and a bit german. After I showed her a Video about the Skyrim Granny, and told her about the Dad of light series, I guess she got encouraged to give it a try. I made a trial account for her and after a loooong character creation she was ready to go.
So after a few days of parenting my mom, we have to say thank you! She has a lot of fun, and we have great moments together.
She still has a quiet long way to go, and is scared of fights, but she is super determined to keep playing.
So thank you Yoshi and team! For creating a world my mom fell in love with! She says: Thank you for your hard work!

Couldn't find any appropriate section where I could put it in. So I guess general discussion should be fine... hopefully

Go mom!

Thank you! I am super proud of her, and I genuinely think she is super brave!

Actually I wanted to edit my post and ask if there are more players with similar stories, but my mobile won't give me the option.

Awww that is soooo sweet. I hope she gets more courage and sticks with it.

Thank you for all your kind words. I actually expected more replies like: yay another tard in the duty finder inc. Etc. My faith in humanity got restored. Great job guys!

truth be told, if y'all queue up, say nothing and end up bumbling around helplessly, you might just become a story on the DF thread haha. I'm glad she's enjoying herself. You don't hear about many people her age getting into new things, and it's awesome.

This was beyond adorable. I wish you both the best, Welcome to FFXIV.
