Happy New Year -- 2021 is finally here!

Happy new Year and Happy holidays to every single one of you as we ring in 20121-- it has been an enduring journey throughout last year and we are all very thankful to be able to be here today.

Its now been almost twelve years ago that I started this blog-- what a journey its been and much much more to come-- and every new year, we all try to decipher Yoshi-P's cryptic messages for the game in the new year.  This time around we have a really wonderful message from him (HERE) and an exciting reminder for us to be on the look out for upcoming information on FFXIV and FFXVI !

I also took this time to wish a few old friends happy new year on FFXI and was actually very impressed with this new concept art...

And yet again, Im still astounded by how many days I've subscribed to FFXIV-- mind you, this screen shot was from a few months ago, so I've actually been playing longer than the 2,700 days stipulated below-- it will update when next I'm billed for next quarter...

Anyway, today remains a great day for reminiscing and I was glad to get back to playing my level 80 Samurai again-- I still love this Myochin Haori gear till tomorrow-- has always looked especially exquisite in pure white dye...

Also don't forget to participate in this year's Heavensturn event (HERE)...

By the way, I have loved everything about patch 5.4-- plus I wanted to mention that I really liked the tale so far with Konogg and Anogg...

And that's it for today-- I'll round off by posting a few screenshots of my new Paladin glam-- well, not new, just reverting back to the tank Elemental set from Stormblood and adding the new angel wings that came along in patch 5.4.  

Make sure to have a wonderful year, EVERYONE--  be safe, keep gaming, keep spreading the love, and keep being excellent.
