"In 2000, I went into the shop and I bought some jazz that I knew I wanted to get, and I said to the guy, "what else can I get?", and he pointed out this album with camels on it. I thought, I'll give that a try, and it was this Nubian music, which I got really into and also I bought another one, which was an Algerian CD. I listened to that for a bit and then I just kind of stopped and didn't really listen to world music for 10 years. Ali Hussan Kuban was the doorway to all the rest of them. I heard that in 2011 and I've basically been searching ever since for anything else that feels that way. A few years later, one of the things I found was this track 'Baba Ramdev'. It's just so incredibly joyful and it feels like an epic adventure. There's something absolutely epic about it, to me. It sounds like they're outside. How you seen any of those YouTube videos of the Gypsies of Rajasthan, the colourful dresses they wear and the dances they do? It's pretty incredible. And they're always in some really remote-looking rocky outcrop, somewhere in the desert. And the cover of this album as well, the guy with the amazing moustache. I love that whole spirit, really wild and free - that's what the song feels like to me."

A Realm Reborn (ARR) is undoubtably the weakest section of the game. It feels slow, with very little really happening for quite a while...

However, this base expansion(?) lays the foundation so that the later expansions can thrive.

Think of ARR as season one. This 'season' is an introduction to the world, the characters, the game mechanics... all that jazz. It's doing all the important boring things now so that all the cool fun things that it does later on are less confusing.

Personally, I actually enjoyed playing ARR - and that was before the recent (kind of?) patch wiped a bunch of quests to make it a better experience.

There's no need to rush through this story! Take your time and enjoy it, that's what I did!

I only started to get fed up with ARR when I had to do the 100 quest-line arc pre-Heavensward (HW). Good luck with that by the way! Heavensward is great, so push through because it is totally worth it!

Hopefully this was helpful or at the very least entertaining!

If you are thinking about joining the wonderful community of ffxiv, then consider playing the free trial! It doesn't have a time limit and let's you play all through ARR and HW without having to worry about paying for the sub.
