I started playing Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn<\/i> a few months ago. It’s the current FF MMO. (It’s the revamp\/relaunch of FFXIV from a few years ago that failed epically.) Bob started playing at launch last year, but I wasn’t in the right mindset to pick up a new MMO at the time. He finally lured me into it with Chocobos and Moogles.<\/p>\n

They are EVERYWHERE<\/i>.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

It’s all very pretty.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Also CHOCOBOS<\/i>.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

And Joel says Hi<\/i>.<\/p>\n
