Macco's FFXIV haven

Most likely stuff you might think is boring to read but it's just about me and FFXIV and how it took me 9 years to actually play.

TL;DR: I played because of Themis and Erichthonios

I started to play last Oct 27th and is basically new to whatever 9 years worth of added content. I used to play back in 2013 during ARR beta testing and my platform was...PS3. Laggy as hell but I enjoyed the game with a few friends but didn't continue after my free trial ended.

Right now I'm shamelessly playing under free trial for a few reasons like if I'm gonna seriously commit after or get bored and abandon my WOLs (again). At least I didn't spend anything for the game and sub (I admit I spent some numbers on mount/glam already lmao)

As the time of this post, I'm merely near the end of the base ARR. I have no idea what the majority of the main spoilers are exception to Lahabrea and Elidibus because of Pandaemonium.

For the real reason why I actually decide to play after seeing pretty much everything after 9 years is because of Erichthonios and Themis fanarts on my twttr TL. Erich is seriously my type (I swear you can see a pattern on my char types lmao) and he comes with a height gap ship (my other weakness) ...like how can I resist that?!?!? I caved in even after saying "I'll just watch them from a distance". Too weak. I'm far too weak.

Anyways if you made it this far, thank you for reading my really boring lore to FFXIV. Hope you stick around for more fanarts and my WOLs!

I quickly scanned through some spoilers on Erich's side and went to draw lmao. I want to know more and yet don't want to be spoiled (did not happen because curiosity got hold of me). Finding out who Themis was the most slapped in the face spoiler I went through AFTER SEEING THAT MAN THROUGH OUT THESE YEARS I FEEL SO BETRAYED!!

First ThemiEri chibi art. I got the mask color wrong because I don't really had any reference besides quick glance at fanarts on my TL.
