Big Crazy Final Fanrasy

Watched another wonderful episode of Big Crazy Family Adventure and started thinking about getting started in Final Fantasy XIV

Final Fantasy XIV

I decided I wanted to give Final Fantasy a real try. I played for about a month when the game first came out but other things took priority and I put it aside. I've kept an eye on it though since people like Belghast are always talking about how great it is. The main thing that held me back was the cost. It is one of the few surviving subscription games but I bit the bullet, bought a sub, and set up my account to see what all the buzz is about.

I think I am going to roll a Conjurer since I usually like to heal and healers tend to do well in joining dungeon parties in most games. A Bard also sounds nice but I'll try to focus that class second. I am pretty sure with FFXIV that one character can play as any of the classes so I'll have to get used to that idea rather than running alts. I suppose it is kinda similar to Rift and their soul system where you can play as any type of mage or priest based on which souls you slot. But in Final Fantasy it is like being able to change from mage to priest or warrior whenever you want. The concept sounds cool but I am worried it may be a bit complicated trying to figure out what the best class/job is for different situations. We'll see.

Big Crazy Family Adventure

Once again this was a wonderful show this week. Though I was a bit nervous watching Bruce interact with the the snake charmer. Being that close to venomous snakes with the kids was nerve-wracking for me to watch. The kids seemed to love it though so that was fun to see. And everyone seemed to love pillow fighting on the boat floating down the Ganges.

I'd have to say that I really enjoy watching the Kirkby's traveling all over during their adventure, but I'm not sure I could deal with all the travel they've been doing myself. I like to try new foods, but for the most part, I am pretty picky. I don't like dealing with large crowds, and from what they've shown of India and previously China, there can be lots of people in the same place you want to be. I'm glad they can show me what their travels are like because I'm not sure I'll be doing that myself anytime soon or at all.

This episode did take a turn to the serious side of things this week as they went to the burning ghats. I thought they handled things respectably and even the kids seemed to understand the reality of the cycle of life that was right there in front of them.

A serious episode, but it was still fun. Taj and Bodi always make this a fun hour of television, and getting to see Taj get so excited to see the Taj Mahal was great. Still one of my favorite shows on television.
