Memories of Eorzea Screenshot Contest (NA) - Discussion Thread

Does the screenshot have to have our character in it? Can it be from one of the cutscenes?

I would really like to know this as well, I have a screenshot that is one of my favourite memories, but it contains a lot of player characters in it that are slightly obscuring mine. I would like to know if this would be ok.

My first time exploring Mist. This FC had a real neat fountain in their front yard and I was compelled to pose in it. Super nervous that someone was gonna come out of the house and ask me what I was doing in their fountain the whole time.



The Fury's Gaze
This is one of my favorite places to take pics at. The roaming Plasmoids can be used as light sources... but since they move around it's a bit random.

I was wondering if anyone could help me....I have submitted 2 entries but neither image will show up. I followed the directions but still no image? Anyone else having issues?

Perhaps try a different hosting site?
I've used Photobucket for years. They are slightly annoying these days as the site is now overrun with ads and pop-up... but I didn't have any problem linking images.
imgur is another popular site that I see ppl use all the time.

While we didn't include the requirement that your character be visible in your screenshot, please keep in mind that the winners will be judged on creativity.

can we use beta 3 or 4 pics u guys think?

If those are your fondest memories, then of course!

Does this screenshot have to be "new". I mean I have several screenshots from the moment I first experienced things like T5 divebombs and T9 Heavensfall that would definitely fit the "Memories" theme, but aren't new, but have never been entered in previous contests.

Absolutely not! As NaliaBrown mentions, this contest's theme is your fondest memory during A Realm Reborn in the form of a screenshot, so these would work very well.

Can I use shots from 1.0 era? Think I have more memorable views there than current one. ^^

No, we are looking for screenshots that represent memories from A Realm Reborn -- meaning 2.0 to the present. While I'm sure a lot of fond memories come from the 1.0 era, we're certain that there are also some great, memorable times that you experienced during A Realm Reborn.

Those times when you just don't care about anyones personal space...
I was cracking up and in my fits of laughter was able to snag this memory that continues to get a good chuckle out me.

Understood. Only asking because the rules didn't really explicit of not using 1.0 ones. Thanks for clarifying that up. ^^
