Well, it seems my last few days of having any kind of free time is coming to a close and what has an Athroun been doing with his last week of free time? You've not seen him anywhere?!? Well folks, thats because after all the traveling over europe, the last week before leaving for training and deployment this game called Final Fantasy XIV came out.

I started playing because what the hell. Final Fantasies TEND to be good. Not always though. Have to say this one is pretty addictive even though it is a MMO. Normally I hate mmos because it is quest this quest that. Boriiing. Plots in there... somewhere... if you spend months playing all the factions and leveling all the way up. In Final Fantasy XIV though, the plot is there from the get go. You can follow it, or wander off and do other things and come back to it. Theres a plot that follows your class and the main quest so that is pretty cool. Yes, it is kind of sappy do gooder kind of thing and a lot of movies, but square enix has done it in a way that keeps my attention. Which I have to say it pretty impressive as all other MMOs have failed. EQ 1&2, WoW, Guild Wars, Lineage... and a few others I've tried that I cannot even remember.

With that out of the way, I bid many of you farewell till summer of next year. I will be around... -ish- but do not expect anything more than brief contact at best. Deployments suck you in like that.
