Was going to start sometime next month, but a friend had an extra Early Access key for some reason, and so I started playing yesterday (well, today, didn't manage to get through the character creation).
I didn't like the game that much during the beta (decent I'd say), but I had an astounding amount of fun today. I love my character already, Lalafell's are just too damn cute. Now that I've got plate armor, I look quite cool, I enjoy the questing and exploring, the NPCs are interesting, but by far the best?
Logging out in my room in the inn by using the bed, calling it a day together with my character who sleepily climbed onto the bed and fell asleep. Just plain adorable and something I always wanted to do since I used to always log out in my Mog House in FFXI. Those are the details that are absolutely praiseworthy.
