Word, do you just cancel your sub in between updates or?I was thinking about waiting for the second part, since the new FFXIV patch is coming out on the 13th. I'm sure the story will be doable in an evening or two, but I don't think there's much I'll be interested in doing past that, aside from some labyrinth leveling and/or grinding for the new equipment on the island.
I just got to the (I assume) halfway point of 5.3 and hot damn, the story is out of control. Starting to understand why you said this was one of the best DQs - it's really good!
