  6. Getting into Ishgard the first time is one of my most memorable moments in the entire game, The journey to get there was even longer than it is now, they cut back some quests and allow you to fly. It's also in my personal opinion the best intro to any city, it helps a lot that i really like the aesthetic of the city of Ishgard.

  9. Welcome to your new home of Ishgard. My return point is still Foundation in Endwalker.
    When I first started playing Heavensward it was the depths of winter. You are right, it hits different. To look out the window for a moment and see drifts of snow while you stand in Ishgard with the snow floating in the air and every stone coated in frost you could just BE there. It is part of why Wrath of the Lich King hit me so hard because I was leveling through it, progressing through end content in the COLDEST winter on record. Enjoy this journey Dragoon.

  16. I remember walking into Ishgard my first time, running around and just looking at everything, taking in the details of the buildings and the streets. It's one of the cities I rarely use the aetherytes to now, I prefer to just walk about and feel the atmosphere.

  17. ARR was bringing back the game to life and it had some rough edges still. I remember playing up to 50 back in the days then quitting.

    Forward a few years and Heavensward is announced and so is the Dark Knight, my favorite FF job. I thought to myself "I have to get ready for this and I have to play the Dark Knight."

    So I made a new character since my friends all moved to another server since and replayed the MSQ. I also started to learn to tank since the Dark Knight was announced as a tank and I had never tanked in any MMO before.

    Comes Heavenward's release, I manage to log in and watch the full trailer since I didn't before and I knew it was going to be something special… and it was for three reasons :

    1) The change of mood : Heavensward coming off of ARR is one heck of a darker tale. It hits so many notes about more mature subjects and the state of a nation that is so very deeply embroiled in turmoil. I won't spoil anything but there's a reason why people say that "It gets good at Heavensward"… because it does, regardless if you liked ARR beforehand or not.

    2) The Dark Knight job questline is widely considered the best job questline of the lot and at the time, I didn't know of it (as neither did anyone in fact) but when I completed it, I had shivers. Mostly because it was so well written but because the events of that questline resonated so very much with many a player.

    3) The sense of fellowship. ARR made you a hero / errand boy like many MMOs usually do. They give you stuff to do then just point you in a direction and gives you set-pieces that let you be awesome. Heavensward gives you a quest, a solid, expansion-long task that helps you learn about some of the people you've been around with and new people that you'll come to appreciate deeply.

    This is the expansion that got me hooked and I've remained subbed to the game ever since.
