Heroines' Holdfast Test Server Play Event

Hey everyone!

A big thank you to everyone who came out and joined us for last Friday's test server event for some Heroines’ Holdfast action! I think everyone had a lot of fun facing off against these five ferocious heroines. They seemed to put up quite the fight as well, seeing as how Bayohne was forced to mass raise a pile of bodies in Alzadaal Undersea Ruins.

If you missed out, don’t worry! We will be holding another event on Friday (7/27), so stop on by, grab an orb from one of the Community Team members, and give the battlefield a try!

While Bayohne was busy mass-raising, Rukkirri and I were passing out orbs and linkshells, and Okipuit was dashing around from instance to instance like a mad-man taking screenshots of everyone fighting, so take a look at some of the nice pictures we got below!


Waiting for the event to start.

Hoping to see everyone this Friday at 6pm PDT! :cool:

(I was the BST with Silas out. :D)

I definitely didn't CDC Prishe wearing a Mekira Meikogai.. Okipuit needs to take some better screenshots!

So Camate we were suprized when we re entered the Heroines' Holdfast. Did not tell us if you reenter with the title there is a 6th rune with all heros in 1 fight @.@.

Wish I could fight them, but I dont have test server access anymore :(
I wish these fights were added to the main server.

I heard there's no reward and can only use the orb once like all the other specialty BCNMs.

Sounds totally worth it!

He's obviously using Blink-Me-Not lol. Screenshots would be fairly useless if everyone gear-swapped when he went to take the shot!
See, even the devs need 3rd party software to play this game effectively ;p

Why cant fun fights like this just be for everyone? Fighting characters from the story is awesome and they should just add these fights into the main servers for anyone to try, and with rewards like a costume item that turns you into the character :D

So very very true.

was a fun fight! can't wait to try it again friday! :)

Aw man, too bad you guys didn't stick around long enough to watch us freak out over the Heroines' Chamber in rune #??? ! I had tons of fun though, even if I was weakened for ~75% of the fights... lol!

I streamed the last run here! http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/24135688

Dam no sound for your video

This was one of the most fun things I ever did on Final Fantasy XI. Too bad stuff you do on the test server is ephemeral.

I can't wait to try it on the real server with my real gear. Will be a lot harder I bet. And serious, only Lilisette and Mumor in the end were close to be challenging for my group. I am the war on the prishe fight screenshot.

I'll definitely will show up again today for the second run. Super fun.

If there's one thing I learned from this event, it's that even community reps don't have time to maintain a buffer.

Also that a bunch of crazy women all attacking you at once is not something to take lightly, particularly if they have heart shaped clubs.
