Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place

#Advent-urerCalendar Day 22 What's your adventurer's favorite kind of weather?

#ofthedevil #otdevil #otd

A SECRET 12TH QUESTION!? I feel like #FFXI has given me perspective; everything is built, and it's that act of building something, doing something for yourself or especially for others, that truly makes something meaningful.

#Advent-urerCalendar Day 12 The traditional, pragmatic artifact Artifact gear. The elaborate, elegant Relic gear. Or the eccentric, reimagined Empyrean gear. From their main/favorite job, which armor set does your adventurer prefer to represent their vocation?

Game of 2 decades FFXI too wow damn lets go!!!!!!

#Advent-urerCalendar Day 11 Your adventurer wins the Bonanza! You can have your pick from any tier! What does your adventurer choose and why? www.playonline.com/ff11us/guide...

Six #FFXIV orchestral albums are now available on select streaming services! 🎻 Additionally, an Eorzean Symphony playlist is also available, so be sure to check it out for a seamless listening experience~ 🎧🎶 sqex.to/shndu

Found out earlier today that it's pretty difficult to follow the #Advent-urerCalendar in order for those who want to participate and catch up, so rather than having them in Quote Post, I'm going to link to each of the questions and put them in the this thread so you can catch up.

#Advent-urerCalendar Day 8 What's your adventurer's favorite crafting material/ingredient? A big fan of working with mythril? Love the shine of a well polished sapphire? They sneak a bite of rolanberries when they cook? Does the smell of burning fawell remind them of home?

#Advent-urerCalendar Day 7 You’re in Altepa walking when all of the sudden you look down. You see a pygmy adamantoise. You reach down and flip it over. It lays on its back, belly is baking in the hot sun. It tries to turn itself over, but it can’t without your help. You’re not helping. Why is that?

Answered before, probably that time I accidentally killed like 17 people with a crab. In my defense, I didn't know you could fish up monsters, let alone monsters 20+ levels higher than you... #FFXIDaysOfStarlight

#Advent-urerCalender Day 1 What is your adventurer's in-lore favorite food?

Question of the day #2: Which zone made the strongest impact on you and why? #FFXIDaysOfStarlight

#Advent-urerCalender Day 2: What is your adventurer's in-lore favorite holiday or event?

Doing a thing for Final Fantasy XI on a whim. An adventurer lore advent calender, Advent-urer Calender if you will. Each day I ask simple questions about your adventurer, stuff that would normally be ignored in your usual #advqotd. No promise I will remember so if I miss one, make your own.

most of my family on my dad's side was playing it. My grandpa, my uncles, and the older uncle's wife. So for one Christmas they got my brother & i the game for ps2 lol

someone in my old fc really liked it and dragged us through eureka. did the trial in 2021 but thought it was overwhelming and couldn't break through my xiv addiction. felt burnout with xiv's gameplay loop but eov renewed my interest in trying it again. i really enjoyed my time so far in vana'diel!

started playing waaay back around the initial NA release in late 2003, iirc my brother got the game and of course i had to try it too, lol. my first character was actually a windurstian elvaan lady, but later i made a bastokan mithra and she ended up the character that i still main to this day :3

continuing off of @casuallyars.bsky.social 's post -- going from xiv i was interested in playing an mmo that rewarded more exploration and had a less linear early-mid-lategame progression (more rabbit holes to fall into!)

I think my first inkling of wanting to try XI came from Eureka. Learning about Absolute Virtue and getting to hear the awesome music in Baldesion Arsenal made really curious about the source material. the XI Alliance Raid lit that fire in me even more.

Oh yeah yep

I was super into FF after X came out so when I found out there was an XI I was like GET ME IN THERE

the person that got me into it doesnt even play anymore but it was cuz of this one video of this guy using warp and saying he was sending ppl to brazil

Stealing this from last year!! A year ago, @tsaya.bsky.social and I talked about giving XI another shot because we tried a few years back after doing Eureka in XIV, but got too intimidated and didn’t play after our first day. With the alliance raid having JUST started, we thought we’d finally play!

I woke up this morning to a bunch of notes of people answering the first QotD from last year. Aww. My heart is melting. Give me a second to get my thoughts in order.

FFXI - Celestial Capital of Al'Taieu #ffxi

People I've had on my podcast and listeners of the podcast are DMing me lately asking for contact info for eachother to get involved in community events from performing to planning and I LOVE IT. Helping establish links between XIV players is both a goal and a blessing. #FinalFantasyXIV #FFXIV

Correction: it's always a great time to rewatch "The Bobgoblin Blitz". In fact, you should. Right now. Become one with the fishies. (no not like that, I meant fishing......)

As a newer player, I don't know half of the things people talk about in FFXI, especially what a DD is and what DT means when setting up my gear. So I thought I'd make a small graphic for just a few terms I felt were important/used often enough for new people like me to use as reference!

I was working on a project for 11/11, but I underestimated how atrophied my art muscles are. NEVERTHELESS, I made it... a little bit late. But we won't talk about that. Instead, here's my tribute to WotG, Lilisette and the little partnership you form with her. ♥️

I've personally playtested this game physically and based on those experiences and sitting next to the developers for a few hours, talking about their values and plans for their project, I feel comfortable enough to not only back this project, but also to share it www.kickstarter.com/projects/115...

Apparently it's also FFXI Day and I had this laying around so happy FFXI Day! These two keep me playing 🥰 XI honestly came to me during a tough emotional moment and getting into a new community helped me disconnect from that. Thank you, XIV raids for introducing me to this game! Thank you, FFXI!!
