The reason I left: real life. The reason I came back: jubbahs and keffiyehs.
Seriously. The whole reason I reactivated this month was because I kept stumbling upon BLU cosplay on Google Images. It's actually kind of shocking how the vast majority of Final Fantasy Blue Mage-related media is related to FFXI. Nonetheless, seeing it made me miss running around in typical Blue Mage attire. It made me miss Disseverment. Yes, it made me relapse.
It was a regret from the beginning not knowing what the new spells were like, and I want to see what spells are to come. But I already feel conspicuously detached from FFXI; in one month, I already don't recognize anyone or anything. It's probably for the best and probably why I kept fighting quitting for so long--the longer you stay away from it, the easier it is to let go.
Unless something changes drastically, I plan to keep my account active until no further Blue Magic is added. I'm not planning on participating in events or anything though. It doesn't even seem prudent to bother investing in anything at all until we see what SE ultimately plans for all the jobs. A job like BLU in particular could go in just about any direction, and honestly, I have neither the time nor the desire to gamble on what its future might be.
I'd rather wait and see.
