Howdy everyone!

Sorry that I'm late to getting this posted, I ended up having one of the longest days at work and needless to say I just got home... To put that in prospective I worked fifteen hours today... Sucks that once you have a salary job you don't get paid for overtime.

To start us off right, I'll introduce myself so you can better understand where I am come from and why I podcast. :)

My name is Brian and my screen name is Brinz I'm sure you can see some similarities... I much like many others am an avid gamer. I have played FFXIV Gil back when it started on the original NES as a kid and fell in love with the series when it came out on the Super Nintendo.FFXIV Gil was my first MMO back when it first came out in the U.S. and I made plenty of mistakes and people knew I hadn't played an MMO before. It's because of the community that I found in FFXIV Gil that I really love to help out new players get their footing in the game. I have spent more time helping new players then I care to count, but I have always enjoyed my time helping people understand the ins and outs of the game.

As someone who enjoys playing XI, I have found many faults in the game that I would always love to see corrected. When I first started reading about Square's next MMO, project "Rapture" I was very excited. Having played other MMO games off and on I hoped that Square would study what worked in these MMO games and apply them to their new MMO... This year at E3 my one and only game that I wanted to hear about was their next MMO... And to both my surprise and excitement, that happened to be FFXIV Gil.

So, I called up my friends, and watched the trailer over and over again. We started getting into long talks about the system, our theories, what we know from XI and what we thought Square would do this time around. Thus the podcast was born. Giving it a placeholder name of Eorzea Times for our first two shows and then coming to the name "Eorzephoria" for the remanding nine shows we started working on the show. Then after a few months of speculating, news started to come out. That's when we decided to work exclusively with FFXIVcore.com
