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.

Actually creepy, had to switch on lights

It takes a lot to usually scare me, but I am rather impressed by Peter James' first venture into the spine-chilling horror genre. There were actual moments where I had to turn on lights and look over my shoulder.

There are several moments in particular that makes your heart leap as the suspense builds, one near the beginning with Jade and her friend on Facetime, two near Chapter 42 and the vicar, and three with a scene containing a sledgehammer.

And while I feel there is little resolve, not really understanding what happened to the male protagonist in the end, it's helpful to remember all classic horrors end with a sense of unease.

Great app for all types of folks

Who doesn't know what Pinterest is? It's practically universal. I have boards for every kind of subject. it is especially helpful to writers for a lot of handy graphics with word replacements, name origins, etc. I have printed off activity pages, homework sheets, crafts, and numerous other fun stuff for my kids. I even have a board called "Fun Stuff for the kids"! The only negative that I have is that you cannot block messages from random people and I get a ton of spam messages. Not a huge deal, I just delete them but it's aggravating to have my phone go off numerous times to alert me to a ton of spam in my pinterest inbox.
