Me and some friends staying up all night trying to figure out how to take out good king moogle XII and humming that battle theme while dying countless times, it was a blast hope to make more like it FF XlV: ARR

Just cheerfully waiting for the apocalypse. Ishgard has always been my favorite place in Eorzea.

This is an ode to the old where we've managed to create bonds and have fun even during the tough times of FFXIV.

Before there were relic weapons, before the darklight gear hunt, and before ifrit, mog and garuda weapons... there were only 3 NM's. Great Buffalo, Dodore and Haughtpox Bloatbelly. This is our nearly month long endeavor of farming Dodore when it first came out to get enough doublets for the whole LS; about 20+! So 24 minutes per weather change, hours upon hours, and those 15 man parties are reminded when I look at this screenshot. And I will never forget the bonds that were forged through this accomplishment. Ones with Japanese players and old camaraderies that mostly sadly aren't among us anymore! And I /salute the ones that are still here!

My brother and I simply enjoying playing and spending some time together, watching Dalamud and listening to the Sirens sing.

My friend, who won't be named, had unrequited feelings for an Opo Opo. After some coercion, it gave in.

Daeva of War, Gungnir server! Our final goodbye on save day before the update and count down until November 11th!

The holiday season of 2011, my friends and I put together a "sleigh": four reindeer arranged roughly by height, with Santa in the back, each auto-following the one before. Since I had the full outfit, I got to be Santa! We paraded around Ul'dah and got a bunch of snowballs thrown at us. We'd found an easy way to contribute to the city's festivities on our server, if only for a few minutes. I hope to do it again someday.

Last Ifrit run before Server Merge

This was our last Ifrit run before Server Merge. Our friends Skuld and Freyja Valgard were transferring over to a new server. We decided to one last run together before they left. It was a lot of fun.

The Eorzean Explorers Society checks out the Garlean stronghold.

We are a linkshell made of people who love to explore, and every change to Eorzea was big fun for us. We went to the stronghold and then died a lot, but had fun along the way. Mor Dhona was always a great place and we had all sorts of races there.
