I DID IT

I FINISHED A REALM REBORN!!! I did the big battles and got to the credits of Final Fantasy 14!

Which by no means is the same as finishing the game, I have a bunch of interstitial parts and then will begin the first of several expansions, each just as big as this first part. But I am done with the start! Which is from all accounts the most boring part of the story, and it's only up from here! I spoiled myself for the end of ARR ages ago but have only the vaguest sense of what happens next, it's exciting :D

So some of you may remember that two years ago I played a bunch of the online multiplayer RPG Final Fantasy 14, before sadly deciding that while I enjoy most of the game, the compulsory dungeons involving other players were too much for my anxiety.

BUT THEN. TODAY. They introduced Duty Support, a way to do main quest dungeons with NPCs instead of real people!! So I signed back up and did the dungeon I got stalled on two years ago and it was GREAT. So now I can keep playing the game!

I haven't tried any other dungeons yet but as far as I can tell this should make it simple to play from the start through to the end of the first section and the first two expansions with no compulsory gameplay with other people whatsoever, and the later expansions will be added in time.

If you're now interested in playing, there's a free trial, it's pretty generous and you'll know by the end if the game feels worth your while.

There is currently a TRULY STUPENDOUSLY HUGE number of games available on itchio in the Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality, for a ridiculous minimum donation of $5, with all proceeds going to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and Community Bail Fund.

There's some really great games, as well as some that look promising, with a wide variety of genres, including tabletop RPGs and pixel sprites.

So I started writing this post with the intention of writing up the whole of "A Realm Reborn", the base story covering the first 50 levels of the online multiplayer roleplaying game Final Fantasy 14. But I seem to have run out of enthusiasm for the game at level 45, so will just post what I have now.

It didn't get bad or anything, I just have this problem with subscription games where I felt obliged to play to get my money's worth, and that takes the fun out of it (this is why I put off subscribing for so long) So I'll take a break and play again if/when it feels like it would be fun again. Which it probably will, it's a good game!

EDIT: After taking a long break I realised the group dungeons were making more anxious than I'd realised, and I never felt like going back.
