 What's a Kamajii?



How I got my name
Kamajii... it's a name that more often than not, simply gives me strange looks as my tarutaru legs run across he hills throughout Vana'diel. Kamajii is actually an homage to my favorite director of animation. Taking from the name of a character in the animated feature film, Spirited Away, Kamaji is a kindhearted old man that looks after one of the main characters. While I'm sure many of you may be thinking, "Oh... he's one of those guys. That's all we need is another `japanophile` in our ranks." Well... at least I didn't turn into yet another Tifa or Cloud? Kamajii is a name I've held for many many years and when joining the game with a friend it only seemed natural to carry it over with me.

Why this game and not [insert game title here]
I was actually dragged into FFXI by a friend of mine who had been pestering me forever to play with him. Not long after the release of wings of the goddess did I finally oblige and start playing. Rather late in the game compared to others, I often worried if I was jumping onto a sinking ship or not weary that the game's community was in decline due to it's age.

I was given Final Fantasy XI: The Vana'diel Collection 2007 as a gift to get me started and just recently purchased Wings of the Goddess to unlock the new subjobs. Of all the games available, and I've played most of them, I find FFXI to be one of the more unique and immersive games around. I found there to be a rather large learning curve behind it. And despite the difficulty in nearly everything you do, it remains to be unlike any other cookie cutter game that existed. I can only hope that it has many more years ahead of it.
