Hey there! I've just started up playing this game aswell, been playing for about two weeks and I'm really starting to enjoy how friendly players are in this game. It's a nice change from the MMORPG's I've played in the past. I played FF XI for a short while on the xbox 360, but I was too young to have a long enough attention span to concentrate on it.
I still play FF X to this day, and it's what made me choose to spend a lot of my money on a high end computer so I could play this game.
I'm from the UK but my Linkshell consists of mainly people from North American time zone, and I'm sure they'll be more than happy to have you join.
If you see me online give me a /tell . Char name is Saayus Caymble (and no, the Saayus is not copied from FFXIII-2 before you think that), i'm currently a level 40 black mage but once I get it to 50 I have no idea what i'm going to do. Hope to see you around!
