New Let's Play FFXIV Video Series

[Crono]

Greetings Sam! I thought that I'd just share a brief story with you, if you didn't mind (sorry if you do :P but I'm new and I can't seem to find the pm feature). I purchased xiv at launch and played with my brother and his best friend. I was so put off and disappointed by the game initially that I nearly swore I wouldn't return. After some serious nudging from my bro's friend, I started looking to 2.0 and came across your Let's Play you tube series for xiv. You're enthusiasm for the game and effort you've put into making this video series had me re-sub for xiv. I noticed that long ago we were both once on the same server (Rabanastre), but it appears there was a server merge and I'm now on Durandal. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for the video series and great work!

Part 69 of my 'Let's Play' gameplay and commentary in the MMO, Final Fantasy XIV, by Square Enix.

In this episode we join Katella, Seyo Meyo, and the rest of the Distant World LinkShell as we detail the events leading up to the impending shutdown of the game in it's current format before it's transitioned over to Version 2.0. Leading up to this huge change for the game are a number of significant events, all of which are eluded to in prose known as 'The Seventh Umbral Era Prophecy' of which we take the time to understand line by line with help from our Distant World family..

Part 71 of my 'Let's Play' gameplay and commentary in the MMO, Final Fantasy XIV, by Square Enix.

In this episode we join Katella at the Adder's Nest in Gridania, to speak with Serpent Lieutenant Fulke and pick up an important quest named "Two Vans Are Better Than One". He sends us south of Camp Nine Ivies where we meet up with Blindrage at the Toro-moy Battlewarrens to learn what has become of a man named Arthur and his party. We end up having to battle Imperials (which doesn't go particularly well for me) and we gain insight about the Garleans, and their sinister connection to the looming ball of fire we know only as Dalamud..
