    OMG, amazing +3!

    Distant Worlds II made its way from Japan to Toronto! If you didn't already know, Distant Worlds an orchestra that just performs music from all Final Fantasy series. This is the second series, so "more music from Final Fantasy"!

    I got my Balcony ticket for $70. There was $30, 70, 110 and 150 :O. I would go do $150, if only I found a partner who's willing to fork out $150 :P! Though, $150 is the see Nobuo Uematsu price! You get to meet him after :D (Now sitting down writing, I wish I saw him....)

    Jack up the volume to your favorite tune for a minute, be it Beethoven, the Beatles, or Barenaked Ladies. You know the song inside and out because you have heard it almost as many times as you have drawn breath. It works its way into your soul and you can feel it pulsing in your blood. Restart the song one more time, this time hitting pause after 10 seconds. Are you still singing the words or humming the tune? Or is there a suffocating silence in your mind taking the place of the beat that should be booming out of your earbuds. If it is music you really enjoy, we all know what happens…

    For those who have played FFXI, and I mean those who have really given it a good swing, they know it can be immersive. The stories are simple at first glance, a random adventurer, ...

    Time for another Ask the Devs FAQ! This week they cover a long debated topic about bonus points and more specifically the effects of raising your stats as you advance your character. So let's dive right in!

    Anything in italics is taken from the official Lodestone site.

    First they talk about bonus points themselves which is generally common knowledge to most XIV players at this point. You gain bonus points every time you raise your physical level and they can be applied towards your stats and elemental affinities.

    Since this is my first post, it would be best to introduce myself. My name is Dario Azuralis, I play a Wildwood Elezen on the Lindblum server. I'm part of the MNN crew with Asanna, lending my voicing talents. Along with MNN, I will be a regular contributor to FFXIVBlog from now on.

    Rina Katou (the Japanese celebrity above) looks quite sexy with a PS3 controller, but don't let it fool you. She isn't there to "really" write a blog of her journey, but it's purely a marketing thing!

    It's not new when it comes to getting famous poeple like Mr. T play a little bit of WoW and say "What's your game!" We all know Mr. T probably doesn't even know anything about WoW at all, just using their face for marketing purposes. Photoshop him with a mount and say a few words, PROFIT!
