I really, really wanted to enjoy this MMORPG, but I was having some trouble with it; now, it’s all in the past, and it’s finally time for my very own Final Fantasy XIV Playthrough Reborn! I’m so excited! Thus, here’s my personal adventure, plus an analysis of the story through Heavensward, as well as some of my favorite characters and their stories, such as Alphinaud, Hildibrand Manderville, Estinien, Ysayle, and Aymeric!
