75

Pasifika has attained level 75! Can you believe it? Neither can I...

But it's true! :D

If by some miracle a person not familiar with this melee white mage had wandered in and is now wondering what's so special about whm 75, let me explain. You may have n+1 jobs at 75 and more well on their way, but not me. I only have whm. So you think I'm a new player, don't you..? Not so new: I've been a FFXI player for over 3 years, making Pasifika over 70 vana-years old. (Yikes! She's an old lady... D:)

So, how come there have been no lvl 75 jobs (before now) in all these years?

Well, Pasifika isn't really a very career-driven person - in other words, she doesn't party for exp much. The road to cap level has thus been long and winding, and a lot has happened on the way. She's not your average main healer, either, because ever since she got her first hammer she's been dying (more or less literally) to stand at the front line of battle.

First, Pasifika learned the ropes. Everything was new and ah-so-exiting. :D

Adventuring wasn't bad, but what she really wanted was to grow flowers. Phu, ever the stern teacher, didn't believe in spoiling a new adventurer by making things too easy, but he did relent a bit and bought Pasifika an earthen flowerpot from Ensasa's. Pasifika planted a seed, took care of the plant, and it bloomed... So~ shiny. *_*

Curiosity got the better of her and she harvested the plant, but as soon as she got more pots she grew a replica of the original first plant and dried it - and it's in her Mog House even today.

Of course, Pasifika partied with friends, for fun. Maybe a little for exp, too, but mainly for the fun and excitement of it.

She ran errands and completed quests, everything from doing the shopping to slaying the horrid beasts.

Pasifika joined a notorious linkshell. That didn't exactly keep her from leveling, it's just something I'd like to mention. ^^

She ran across Vana'diel this way and that, and then some. Some of these trips were actually very lovely guided tours. They don't make tours like that anymore... ;_;

She stopped to smell the flowers. And to stare at them. .. and take pictures.

Pasifika took part in various events, with all her heart. Events are so much fun~

And she got married! :D

Interestingly enough, one of the rare moments when Pasifika actually actively looked for party was when the wedding was approaching, because she wanted to get lvl 50.

Ah, those were the times....

My very own vana-family. ^_^
Phu did objected to adopting any tarus, but they can still be considered sort of family, right?

Pasifika saved the fair Federation of Windurst - and the rest of the world! All three nations are now safe for tarus to travel. :D

And in addition to all that... Pasifika has chatted with friends and even helped them - teles and raises are really popular, but Pasifika is also an exellent doorstop and a handy 1000 Needles pin cushion, to name a few uses. :D

She has kept Moogle company in her over-decorated Mog House.

There was that Pasifika's and Lina's summer event recently you might remember...

And there are may, many other things, but I think I'll stop here for now on that subject.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all my friends here in Vana'diel for the wonderful adventures we've had together. No, I'm not quitting, silly, I really just want to say thank you to all the wonderful people. I was introduced to this world by one of the best guides anyone could have. I have some very good friends and, err, unique linkshell. But really, it warms my heart when LS people tell the less understanding ones that Pasifika can be a melee white mage if she wants to, even if it is silly. ^^;

I'd also like to thank my understanding real-life family, which has not only allowed me to play for all these years without calling in the nice people in white coats to take me away, but they have also listened - with little to no complaints - to some very high spirited rants about my wo~nderful adventures. (I guess it helps that they have at leats tried the game at some point. ^^; )

75~~~~~~!
