When I engage with an enemy, sometimes I'm in the wrong mode (passive) and the bad guy gets a jump start on me, whozers. Other times, I feel like I'm running to the end of the world. I love to explore. Just the other day I visited Limsa Lominsa for the first time as a level 11 Pugilist. So far so good.<br />Bishamelk Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391348162752933736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5073657071133164355.post-3104352907858081642010-10-05T13:15:32.863-07:002010-10-05T13:15:32.863-07:00That's cool.

It's quite hard to find gear for my guy. So I'm going to try Blacksmith, Goldsmith, Mining, and Leatherworking. My main class that I did choose was Pugilist. So I'll see how the crafting classes turn out. I also did want to try my hand at magic, but I think I'll start a new guy and try it out.

I am basically just playing to the strengths I enjoy in the game right now, like harvesting and crafting my own gear.

I felt the same way about the game, well just a little bit. I played the Beta just to get a feel and to participate to make the game better. So I decided to purchase the game. <br /><br /> I bought the Collectors edition the day it came out. I hopped on and started to play, but after a few hours of playing I got tired of it.

There is a lot of truth for me in what you have said about the various aspects of this game. FFXIV seems just like a relationship. At first you're just in awe. Sure she has some flaws but they are so easily overlooked.

Anyway... I like to randomly click on peoples links, and check out what others do with their creativity. I enjoyed your FFXIV posts (haven't checked out the other stuff yet) and share a lot of your opinions on the game.
