Bear and I recently picked up Final Fantasy 14 for cheap. We played for a trial period a few months back and ended up liking it so far. =) We joined a friend's server this time and have been pretty excited to have another MMO we can play together again. =D Unfortunately, it's a different server than the one we played on during our trial period so we had to start over from scratch; I guess it might not be too bad though because it'll act as a refresher for the game's systems and ease us back into the world.

When I see the option for a tattoo or to have face painted across the character's eyes during character creation in games, I can't help but to be compelled to want to make a character with it and pretend it's a super hero mask. It's a bit surprising to me how many games actually provide the option. XD I'm thinking that it probably stems from my childhood experiences with Final Fantasy 5 in which the Blue Mages have super hero-esque masks! =D The blue magic ability on its own is one of my favorites in the franchise, but add a super hero mask and, wow, Things Just Got SERIOUS! XD I always loved the idea of learning skills from enemies; in a way, I guess Megaman is a blue mage too? =3 I was really disappointed though that since after Final Fantasy 5's iteration of the Blue Mage outfit, it's changed completely. Hopefully one day, things will go back to the "super" way. XD I really hope FF14 gets Blue Mage as a Job. =3
