There's been so much history on this forum and while I feel like I've skimmed every post through time, I doubt that's true… That's why I want to pose the question nowadays to whoever is here. How did you all discover your love for the boundless strength and the infinite worlds that exist beyond the traditional end-game leveling? Can you remember a definitive experience that made you go "Wow" and realize that limits were meant to be broken?
For me, growing up with the influence of anime (Toonami) and an interest in comics served as the bedrock but I think the formative experience that really made me think about it to the point that I would start dreaming of playing or running an Immortal game is courtesy of this video.
To me, there is just something magical about the "End of an Era" cinematic. The content itself, cannot be understated but also the real-life aspect. I had never played the original XIV but the very idea that the closing of the servers, and the re-launching of the game in a new form, was such a powerful event that it spelled the end of an entire world? That definitely scratches the surface of what real power looks like to me!

And of course, if you have any origin stories for how your characters broke through, that's excellent too! I want more stuff to read about!
