Head directly to Ishgard.
Will not pass Gridania.
Will not collect 200 gil.

Ishgard will not be there at the beginning.

calm down...

[Dannythm]

I hope to trip balls with the new intro sequence reserved for us survivors, then jump on my archer and pick the low level quests and level clamly while exploring.

[Altena]

Probably open up my game menu and fix the wonky controls, then go hunting for the crystal tower.

[Ryuuji]

bunch of casuals.

Then I will focus all of my energy on bringing this game down.

I just want to see what the surrounding area looks like.

1) Get on Miner.
2) Explore mining at any nodes I see, and try to find money making ores.
3) Check out where Dalamud landed, there must be something there.
4) Log out to the lobby.
5) Make a male Miqo'te.
6) Level something from scratch.
7) Check out the new story while leveling.
8) Log back in on my current character.
9) Find the Crystal Tower.
10) Get my LS to check out the Crystal Tower.

That should last me a little.
