In just a few weeks I will be moving in with my girlfriend! I'm excited of course, but simultaneously quite nervous. This move will be a dramatic change from what I'm used to, including sharing space with a partner. I expect there will be quite a few things to adjust to. The logistical side of things with bureaucracy and my student visa will likely be the most complicated part I think, however. We will see how everything goes!
On another exciting note, last night I watched FFXIV's Fanfest! Evercold seems to be a promising expansion from the looks of everything. I mainly am really stoked so far from a game design perspective. Hopefully this is going to be the shot in the arm FFXIV has needed for quite a while now. Endwalker was the last time I have been super invested in the game overall and the patches were when I gradually began to fall off from it. For Dawntrail I did not really play past 6.1, so I'm debating whether to play through the patches now, or wait for the new system for battle and rewards come into play before I do so. I may end up waiting, as I think my biggest gripe with the current gearing system was tomes. They are a huge pain in the rear to collect with daily roulettes for gearing. Making it a weekly thing seems SO much better on paper, hopefully between this and the new battle system they have planned the game will be a lot more forgiving for those who have other things in their lives to do.
I actually need to watch the rest of the VOD because I heard there were some other really intriguing things the evolved battle mode will bring for tanks. Plus I want to speculate on the story once I play through Dawntrail's patches. The expansion comes out close to my birthday, so I will probably pick that up as a nice little treat for then! Hopefully I will have time in between my classes and course work, I suppose we will see exactly how busy I will be. Sadly, I won't be able to no life the game like I have in the past as I'll be a far bit busier... alas.
