Show Us Your Holiday Spirit!

[Rukkirii]

With the holidays quickly approaching and the Starlight Celebration in full swing, it’s time to open our Mog Storage, put on our Dream Set, curl up by the fire and talk about what present we are really hoping to find under our tree this year!

All of us on the Community team would love to see your festive screenshots and hear what you've been wanting this holiday season! :D


Happy Holidays and see you next year in Vana’diel!

[Fusionx]

Would love to find a Moogle Costume, Ryunohige and a Terpsichore in my Dream Platter this year.

and also a Rainbowunicoeurl.

[Mnejing]

Bayohne's WiiU :o

Hope my Dream Coffer has 999m inside!

[Mayoyama]

I had a dream that I opened my dream coffer and it had a set of upgraded CoP and ToAU rings to lv99 versions that made me squeal for joy... and then my moogle woke me up to give me some Gateaux aux Fraises instead ):

[Antanias]

+2 versions of the new Salvage gear

<--puts a ball of yarn under the Christmas tree.

[Merton9999]

This would be a good present:

Professor's Ring
Enhances Embrava Effect

I'm sure you know what this would do.

In the nine and a half years I've been adventuring around Vana'diel I have seen many things and been many places. I have meet many wonderful friends, and shared my adventures with them and many others. This Starlight what I want the most is the AA Tarutaru's Scythe. I sadly did not "win" anything for the last giveaway and it made me very sad. BUT! that did not stop me from continuing my adventures. In my travels over the years I have collected a gaggle of decorations which I place in my mog house only at this time of year. I took some pictures of myself with my decorations I hope you all enjoy your starlight festival this year!
Cheers!

Amazing. On a side note I love the widower plugins on the official forum.

For me, upgraded CoP rings in some form and more teasers about the expansion.

I made this last year in Photoshop. The main pic is in Ul'dah (FFXIV), but I superimposed XI Yru into it.

I'm like 1/20 on that thing and I didn't even freaking want it, I was just helping a buddy. >_>

Meanwhile I'm 0/100000000000000000000 on Toci's Harness.

[Demon6324236]

I want to change my Christmas wish, my Christmas wish is not for Ephemeron, its for a VW adjustment that stops 0/500s, and allows you to get the gear in a reasonable and fun way! Mr. Matsui said he would like to add point based systems to events, VW is still heavily done, and even though the content is finished in story and design, its never to late to go back and tweak it. Please make this Christmas wish come true Mr. Matsui, change VW so that we can obtain items like this sword without the pain, annoyance, and anger that VW has caused many people attempting to obtain them.

Side-note:However if this is impossible, Ill still take Ephemeron, rather the update to help everyone though! :D

Happy Holidays everyone!

I want a cup of coffee that never gets cold and never goes empty!

Edit: I made a e-Card for my friends and family but in retrospect I'll add a link to it in here for all of you since in a way you are all my extended family!


Happy Holidays from Team Toad! (http://toadie-odie.livejournal.com/206804.html)

great card Toad. I'm not much for most of the in game events, but for those that do I say go for it. You certainly do. That MH is awesome. Merry X-mas! And to the rest of you as well.

Remember, it's about what you GIVE, not what you get this time of year. Me? I'm leveling an LS bud's rdm to subjob levels (it's been WAY down his to-do list for years) and have offerred to bring the bard so everyone can bring whatever for a skill-up/90+leveling session. How is that a gift you may ask? I have quite a lengthy to-do list myself... on all my jobs EXCEPT bard which is capped. It doesn't have to be big. Do you craft? Wouldn't your LSmates appreciate a stack of food/ammo/nin tools-whatever their job is.

[Toadie-Odie]

Thank you ^^ and a Merry Christmas to you too! And yes, you caught me red-handed... I love the in-game events. /blush

Your in-game gift giving ideas are great by the way, Glamdring. I have a sudden urge to cook up a storm!

I'm pleased to finally have a full Smilebringer outfit for this Christmas! (I missed last year...they gave us pants!? /swoon)

For Christmas it'd be nice if Voidwatch...ANY voidwatch...would surprise me with something other than materials and petrifacts. -.-.............. The only way it's more saddening is if instead of Crystal Petricfacts they were Lumps of Coal. (I don't think I was bad ; ; ) The ever elusive Corscanti snuck into my Mog House by my ever faithful Moogle would be a shock.

((edit: well I had an image :/ First time posting so having issues posting from both Flickr and Photobucket. Maybe later Figured it out!))

[Toadie-Odie]

Congrats on your full Dream set!! ^^ And good luck in Voidwatch, heavn knows we all need it!

[Won-Ton]

A spinet to go with my orchestrion would be nice. :(

I am with you Toadie! Love your personality!

[Toadie-Odie]

Thank you ^^ and may your cup of coffee always be awesome! Merry Christmas to you!

Edit:


My blood type? oh! coffee of course!

Best. Sig. Ever. lol

[Powder]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Todie. You are welcome! :*)

/joy to you and yours this Starlight Celebration season from Windurst!

I think I'm too tall for my tree... maybe I should move to a different nation.

What I wanted for Christmas was an in-game screenshot taker that works at my native resolution and aspect ratio!

What I got was... socks.

[Toadie-Odie]

Your Mog House still looks nice though. Is that an Elshimo Pachira behind the Snowman Mage? I have palms in a mule's house and was thinking about getting those too but the wiki didn't have a screenshot of it.

As for the socks, at least your feet won't get cold while you're out adventurering!

On a more serious note though, if you set the FFXI config to windowed mode, you can click the taskbar before hitting the "Print Screen" key and just paste the image into Paint. You can then trim off any desktop stuff showing and the pic should retain your native settings. I hope this helps.

[Rosalie]

It is an Elshimo Pachira, yes. I thought about Palms as well, but they turned out to be far too large for what I was working with for the contest a few months back, and I thought the Pachira looked a lot nicer.

Thanks for the tips and compliments!

[Sabaku]

I think my head might spin and fall off if I had to choose between an endless cup of always-hot-coffee, or the rest of my Red Mage gear.

sadly, take the coffee, it might be useful, the signs are rdm will never be again... <sadpandaface>

[Toadie-Odie]

Who says you must chose between the two? I say go for both!

[Chanch]

Is there a New Year celebration in this game?

[Rosalie]

Is there a New Year celebration in this game?

There is, but it's different every year according to the Chinese zodiac calendar. Expect something snake-themed soon. Probably with either Lamiae or Peistes. My bet is on Lamiae.
