Enjoy your journey! I was a freebie for about half year, before deciding to throw USD at Square Enix during their sales earlier this month, plus the fact that our pandemic situation isn't getting any better....

I'm enjoying myself a lot so far as a "citizen with rights" 😂😂, I have to say the dungeons past lvl60 are so much more fun and challenging. On ARR and Heavensward, it was difficult to follow the story because there's very little voiceovers, so boring to read dialogs and see their stiff movements. I bought story skip thinking I wouldn't be interested in the plot, but I found myself watching almost every cutscene in SHB lol.

Shadowbringer has up to 60% off now as they prepare for Endwalker release. If you decided you want to play this for long term then preorder Endwalker so that you can get a levelling ring that grants bonus experience for lower level.

(In case you do decide to buy it, PM me for referral code )
