It was an extremely eventful day in the world of Saphael.

At approximately 3:00 P.M. EST I logged onto Grand Fantasia for the first time. I created my character Turin and my sprite Pika before venturing out into the world. I was immediately greeted by a swarm of Jelly Rabbits hopping to and fro outside the towns gates. My first quest was to annihilate ten of these insanely cute creatures... My pleasure. After completing the basic quests designed to introduce me to the controls I took up my first real challenge.. To save a girl atop mount Dragonguard (I believe that was the name :/) and slay the dragons keeping her there. Oh, and kill a rock golem that had escaped from it's chain prison.

*Cling* *Swoosh* *Stab*

I wish I could tell you I mercilessly attacked and vanquished the fiend, but in truth it took me three tries. Third times the charm eh? Now that that was over (thank god), I went back to the village to take part in my first class change. I chose the path of the fighter. Fighter ftw!

As the day went I continued to help the locals by ridding their beaches of crabs and overthrowing the rambunctious longhorn deers. It was finally time to travel to a major city. I walked over to the docks with a sullen look upon my face, I would miss the town, (I deemed it noob island), but time waits for no man. It was time for me to face my destiny. I told the captain I was heading for Kaslow city and after a few hours riding the calm sea I came to blue bay.

It was then that my journey ended and I had to relinquish the computer.

Now lets get down to business. So you may be wondering, "What did I think of Grand Fantasia?" One word, fantastic! Awesome! Amazing! (Ok that was three, but I can keep going baby!) Cool! Fun! Unique! I had an insane amount of fun. The environment is beautiful, the game play and controls are easy to grasp, and best of all... GF is free! Zomg!

I had a fantastic afternoon playing GF CB. I can only speculate on what tomorrow will bring.
