I need to give a shoutout to the #AOTA conference that happened at the same time as #fanfest. What a wonderful bunch of people to be so warm and open-minded! I’m 99% sure I jump scared quite a few people but the interactions were always pleasant and they were quickly down to clown. 😂 #ffxiv #ff14

homeboy was cool as hell & said his job is to "help people go to the bathroom" to which Brute Bomber @lisuworks.bsky.social replied "hey i like doing that" & guy responded "ME TOO" anyway thanks occupational therapy dad [Honey B @hellodw.bsky.social; Tyrant @woodwarder.bsky.social; Metem @gwiffen]

anyone who gets weird abt sharing wolships has never felt the touch of an “exactly. no exactlyyyyy exactly” in while discussing themes and dynamics with ur fellow homos in dms shaking my smh

who else got emotional removing their fanfest wristband

Gonna pipe up again that if you went to FanFest and want more of that gathering of community, or you couldn’t attend and feel FOMO about it, please consider attending GATEway FATE in October! gatewayfate.carrd.co

the phrase "do it scared" has done so much for my mental health i cannot stress how lifechanging it is to realize: if you are scared of doing something (especially if it can be beneficial to you), you cannot wait for yourself to not be scared. it will always seem scary. you have to do it scared

ORDAINED STILLNESS THIS WAS SO COOL AND I WANTED TO PAN AROUND THE ROOM BUT I ALSO DIDNT WANNA DIE

Fanfest 2026

honestly i have never looked cooler (with @notgodzilla.bsky.social )

the way this is literally what i turned around and said to crystal in the Primals pit

primals good

i’m the pinkest bitch at this restaurant

this man might be actually unstoppable

i hold the same fondness for him that i hold for an oomf. this tiny music man is oomf to me

please look forward to it.

Evercold MSQ summary predictions

The idea that the WoL is a god killing invasive species is funnier if you play as a Miqo'te or Hrothgar. Like yes, my cat roams outdoors and sometimes brings me dead Gods as a gift and likely fucked up the local ecosystem

waiting in line for the g'raha photo and watching so many boyfriends getting sadly cucked while their gfs pose happily with g'raha tia is so funny

There’s like a normal business conference right next to fanfest and after the concert let out this emet selch cosplayer got surrounded by business women and they were like squeeing and kyaaing while he showed them his ascian sigil prop im so glad the emet selch appeal crosses all barriers

Yoshi p I demand a raven mount

I saw her on the show floor just before this and can confirm!!! If only I was better at getting peoples cosplay handles. 😅 #fanfest #wuklamat #cosplay #ffxiv

I can't believe they scruffed Soken

gnb and drk and war all being off-tanks at least makes shb really funny retroactively. if the wol's an ot and ardbert's an ot and thancred's an ot and the exarch has been shot who's main-tanking this expansion

No way

Aymeric at the long day factory

you know i got that thang on me @opheliadusk.bsky.social

Congrats on your Battle High V !! (it was harder before 7.5) I know you worked really hard on it (it was harder before 7.5) It's really cool you got it (it was harder before 7.5)

THE WHAT

Aymeric: it is a common opinion that I have received my present rank due to my rumored lineage. Everyone: (that is exactly what happened) Aymeric: I suppose from an outside perspective it does appear as if I have executed a coup d'état and seized power. Everyone: (that is exactly what happened)

the most important item for fanfest has been packed (tail)

still not 100% on what i’m wearing saturday of fanfest but atm jimmy buffett’s mooglaritaville is a top contender

As a reminder, if you’re having Fan Fest FOMO, PLEASE consider going to Gateway Fate in October! I cannot overstate how good that con is, and I say that as someone who’s been doing conventions both attendee and staff for more than half my life!

#ffxivart halmarut round 2: style experimenting again

"What was your WoL doing during the Carteneau bahablast?" Sol was fishing or hunting, in Hydaelyn only knows what corner of Eorzea #ffxiv

With the live letter just past, I'm going to say something that might be a little controversial to some. Promotional Material is not spoilers. Promotional media is the intended content for people to discuss and share prior to a release. (The following thread will contain patch 4.3 spoilers)

i want them to meet

u know that one hummingbird post/meme--

I'm going to break this down very simply because there's two things going on here. 1. SE has a hard time acknowledging South East Asia as a region, but Philippines is always somehow swept under the carpet. The Gong Cha collab made it to Indonesia and Malaysia, but not here.

there are two types of FFXIV expansions: “Buddhism is good” (stormblood, endwalker, dawntrail) and “Christianity is bad” (heavensward, shadowbringers). Usually they alternate, but because we just had a rare Double Buddhism Convergence Event, we can only assume 8.0 will be “Christianity is bad”

imagine making four major characters and three of them get killed by another writer but you manage to put the fourth one in a box that you don't open until you're lead writer and now the boy is practically immortal.

Good morning man

its nice that the xiv fandom migrated here since we're so used to this

deadass thought that was a mahjong table at first glance
