Full game after a couple of years playing free trial

[fabiosarts]

Hello, there! (or "hello, tall people!" as i always say at the beggining of each Duty )

I've been playing since...patch 5.5 as Dragoon. When the only free DLC was Heavensward, and finally decided to start playing the full game (and most likely visit the forum every now and then)

If i'm not mistaken, i started one or two weeks before Berserk Tribute (which i recorded here)
I've been enjoying a hell lot of Shadowbringers and joined a really chill and friendly Free Company
As i completed Heavenward i learned to play different Jobs like Astrologian and Ninja, but i mostly play Astro since it's very fun to me to play (plus insta queues)

A BIT OF MY CHARACTER'S LORE

Just a bit of lore that nobody asked and nobody cares xD
My main character, which is Marty Razai used to be a prince of a lalafell kingdom, which was completely erased from history, by the mysterious people, Ascian as they refeers themselves. After dying defending his people, got called by a big entity back to life (which is the beggining of the game)

Not too long after, Marty found an old friend called Meeshi Meowth, which is my Miqo'te alt that got married afterwards.
Meeshi Meowth is a very smart miqo'te, despite her lack of physical strength, she became very wise and excelent scholar, she gained so many scars on her adventures.

Marty meet his best friend and former royal guard, called Miwa Razai after being brought back to life.
Miwa, for good or for worse, discovered that she's somehow inmortal. Albeit she participates in all Marty's big adventures, she become Marty's best friend.

MY FORMER FF EXPERIENCES

I never been a fan of any Final Fantasy games, but i tried playing the former titles, like FFXIII and a bit of FFIX. I'm currently playing the steam version of VII, which is more fun than expected (not the remake, just the original), and XV as well, since i love the vibe of this game.
FFI and FFIII for NES is another title i'm playing as well and i recomend trying them (you won't believe how many of the FFXIV OST is based in those versions)

I can't really say much else, so take it as a presentation letter C:

If you're dipping into former FF games, I'd recommend IV before you hit Endwalker, or at least post-Endwalker. You'll appreciate a lot of easter eggs. The latter part of ShB might also take on a bit more meaning if you play the original first game as well. This game is chock full of references to other FF games so it's pretty neat when you run across one.

The pixel remaster makes playing I to VI pretty easy now.

Yeah, i was considering trying the IV one, but i'm already playing 4 FF in parallel, so i'm starting that one as soon as i finish one of them!
As for the remakes/remasters. I tend to avoid them since i always like to get the original experience before starting to play any remaster xD
The only exception is Sleeping Dogs, which seems to be the same game, but slightly enhanced graphics
