I was playing the Japanese version of Final Fantasy XI many years ago. It’s years ago now.  They did a sudden switch to crystals which took my Cousin and I by surprise.

Overnight , we lost all access to our game and no matter what we did then, we could not regain access without a Japanese credit card.

Then Eorzea was released, Flynne did try to get into it but he stopped after a while. It was not the same.

Nowadays when novels or anime like The King’s Avatar pop up, we are often reminded of the long hours we put in slogging away in game.

All that’s left is this blog and fond memories. We attended many Distant World concerts and whenever Distant World is played or any related FFXI songs, we go back to the days where our Tarutaru and Elvaan once roamed the plains of Vanadiel with our friends.
