Virtual Tourist - Final Fantasy XIV 2/21/16

Morning!
Final Fantasy XIV
Ul'dah - Main Storyline
All is not well in the city of Ul'dah. They have a lot of refugees from the cataclysm and other issues. This merchant has decided bullying the poor refugees is great sport. Boo!
Part of the refugee camps set up outside the city walls.
A concerned citizen. Love his turban!
Latest set of armor (back when this was taken anyway :) ). Very Japanese like, no?

New Gridania Area
Halloween event
Isn't that the cutest cottage and waterwheel ever? :P
Lying in wait to get a look at the Halloween pranksters.
Aha! One of the culprits? No! She's one of the good guys!
This one is an illusionist and one of the culprits! 
The illusionist and one of her evil helpers.
Hubby and I in our Witch disguises. At the end of this quest you get a flying broom! (We were not yet high enough level to ride it though. Boo!)
One of the kids who'd been turned into a monster. The change (unbeknownst to them) was to be permanent!
Another victim. She'd been turned into an imp. :P

Have a great Sunday!

Virtual Tourist - Final Fantasy XIV 1/24/16

Running late today. Overslept. Doh!
Also with the new year the pics got out of order in the folder, so I ended up jumping ahead.
Hope these are not signs of how the day is going to go!

New Gridania


Small waterfall in New Gridania. Sadly not the lookout spot for the log. Have had no luck finding one yet!


Central Shroud



Adorable cottage, is it not?


Gorgeous glowing flowers. You can also see some funky dino like creatures running in the back


This is a Halitostroper - EEK!

South Shroud
Camp Tranquil and Roots Lake


Lovely sunrise!


Center of Camp Tranquil. 


View of funky formations in Root Lake as well as more gorgeous flowers!

Virtual Tourist - Final Fantasy XIV 11/8/15

Morning!

Since I've been playing FFXIV I figured I should point out a thing or two that makes it different from other MMO's out there.

The first difference is one that's a great boon to people playing with a loved one or friends who have less or more time to play than you. In FF XIV you can have your main class, as well other adventuring classes, gathering classes, and crafting classes all at the same time, but with all the xp for those other things NOT mixing with the main class your are using to play with your friends!

Let me explain... I took Lancer as my main class, hubby took Ranger. We play together and want to go up in levels together, so can't play without one another. But now we also have several gathering classes and a couple of crafting classes on the same characters. Well, if he has free time or I have an hour when he's busy with something else (work or other) we can login and gather and craft and not have that xp spill into the main class so we don't skew our levels! (This has been an issue on other games where the pool was all one thing.) So we can play together, but also can do other stuff in the game alone.

Heck, they even let you save groups of equipment for these different classes so that with a click of a button all my Lancer armor and add-ons come off and are replaced by the level appropriate equipment I've saved for the other class!

Super neat concept!

New Gridania



Some of the pet handling class pets! The player's armor is pretty cool looking as well!


Here's another cool one!


This is a conversation with the botanist guild master. You do a quest for the class every 5 levels. As you can see I have different gear for gathering. 


Airship as we leave New Gridania for Limsa Lominsa, the second of the three starting cities! Have a mission to deliver letters to some of the other leaders.


Isn't the doc marvellous?


And yes, I am still so very cute!!!! :P


All their movies are so detailed. Love it!


Being waved off by the Adventurer's guild leader as well as the two mysterious helpers. I'll be seeing them all again I am sure. :)


Another flashback to things which have previously occurred. Ships from aliens who have plans for our world. Whether we want them to or not!


Cool ship though!


This man is a very angry person. Heh heh.


Invasion gone wrong due to...


Dragons!


Massive destruction.


Who's bad? Who's bad? You know it!



Have a great day!

Virtual Tourist - Final Fantasy XIV 11/1/15

Half asleep this morning...

New Gridania



Looks so real, doesn't it?


I do love the architecture. So cute!


This is inside the Carpenters Guild. I got a visit from one of our Free Company (player guild) peeps. In FFXIV you can have multiple skills in player types, gathering, and crafting. You compile different clothes/armor sets for those classes and can save each individually. A very cool thing, but one I didn't know about when she did this! lol.


Showing off all her classes! (Took me a minute to realize what was up! lol)


Fashion show of skills?


Very impressive, to be sure!


Adorable armor.


This is also armor I'd seen during one of the main storyline flashbacks.


Too cute! And generous too! Gave me some crafting money. :)

Gotta go!

Virtual Tourist - Final Fantasy XIV 10/25/15

Gack, running late. Typical, no? Boo!

Final Fantasy XIV
Main Storyline
New Gridania



Battle at the sacred tree. 


These guys are doing the destroying but are not the actual instigators of the trouble. Bad tempered though. Heh heh


I've come with the rangers to stop them.


Now this guy is the one behind the current troubles.


And he really wants to win.


The mysterious duo shows up once more to help.


Later, I speak with the leader of Gridania


Lots of things to learn. And she's chosen me for a role in an upcoming celebration.


Oooh! Hope I will be able to make stuff like that some day!


People getting together.


I'm wearing a ceremonial mask representing those who helped during the calamity years ago.


Which in turn...


Unexpectedly gives me visions of the past and the disaster from before.


Things are very grim.


The leaders of the battle to defend the planet.




Dude on the bad side. 


After the vision, went to meet the leader again in a special garden. So pretty! 


Isn't that neat? She realizes more trouble is coming and wants me to deliver messages to the other two leaders.


Cure little guy right in the middle. Awwww.
And off I go!
