Azeroth vs. Vana'diel

I recently decided to begin playing Final Fantasy XI online for the first time. I've grown up playing the Final Fantasy series, and have become a huge fan. However, I had never experienced the world of Vana'diel. Final Fantasy as a MMORPG? I had my doubts at first. MMORPG was great for Warcraft, and I fell in love with Azeroth, and miss it dearly to this day. I loved it's gorgeous canyons and dark, mysterious forests; it's deep sweeping ocean with all of her secrets. I miss the magical way of transforming into animals to fast travel across vast area's, and I even miss the weird little people who following you around begging for gold.

However, I believe it is only fair to my favorite series of all time to give it a shot as an MMORPG. I look forward to exploring Vana'diel and all of her secrets, as I'm sure she is full of. I'm excited to begin my quest as a low level adventurer and slowly move into my status as a God among men in the game. My only concern is that I may be disappointed in Vana'diel after comparing it to Azeroth. WoW stole my heart with Azeroth and her beauty, and it will be hard for me to look at another MMORPG the same without it taking place in Azeroth.

My PlayOnline ID is Punktatum, as is my name in FFXI. Add me and we shall explore Vana'diel and her secrets together. Together, we can end my debate forever, and I can decide for myself which world I will be a part of, Azeroth or Vana'diel. Where do your loyalties lie?
