Final Resting Place?

Let's say one day you decided to deactivate your FFXI account, because your days of playing were over. Then, imagine you had some time to go anywhere in Vana'diel, one last time.

Where, assuming it mattered to you, would you go to be your character's "Final resting place"? Would it be a place that reminded you of a great victory, or maybe a spot in your favourite zone, or maybe something more practical? For those that have already shelved their FFXI characters, did you go anywhere significant?


Personally, I would travel to West Ronfaure. It was here where I first ventured out into the world, me and my girlfriend started our characters in San D'oria, and the first time we went out as THF1 and WHM1 to explore the world, our best friend was standing there waiting and waving her hand at us. We were in awe at her PUP75, how long it must have taken to level up that much, and look at all of her gear and her cute puppet!

We got even more excited about FFXI then. We listened to our friends tales of adventures in FFXI, her journey with the rest of our linkshell to places like Dynamis, to slay monsters in Nyzul, and their battle efforts in the past. The past! So, the two of us ventured out to slay some rabbits, with Ronfaure music playing, daggers and clubs flashing and mashing, running away from Orcs and pooling our first 1000 gil to buy some equipment from the auction house.

Today, at THF99 and WHM99, we have done everything together, had crushing defeats together, had memorable victories together, and amazing adventures together. But, I'll never forget our first day, so innocent in awe of such simple things, and so I'd run myself right back to Ronfaure so that I'd always remember the good times we all had, right from the beginning.
