I forgot to add:

My favourite memory is the opening cutscene because that's when the amazing adventure started!

Character Name: Mebrithiel Ju'wien
World: Balmung

My favourite memory (SPOILER ALERT):

...The single most emotive, long-lasting, heart-wrenching memory comes from the darkest recesses of the Eorzean soul - The tragic tale of loss and desperation brought forth from the depths of Tam Tara Deepcroft.

Usually the conquest of a dungeon elates victory and triumph... but there was only heartache to be felt in this finale. When Meb cried, I cried; I have done many more times since, but no other dungeon will evict such sorrow as this did.

I cannot think of a any time in any game that has flipped the table on response to victory as this did. For that, I salute the story writers.

A long journey in the Realm reborn comes to an end and a new world is about to appear in front of us, new challenges and hardships for us adventurers to overcome. There are so many memories but the one to always make me smile is this one. The time my journey began, when The Astalicia brought me to Limsa, from there so may things happened, I met old friends, made some new ones, we fought strong enemies, had fun watching cutscenes, trolling around the realm, a fun time indeed. Now we will welcome the new era with the same mindset of the newbie adventurer. I hope old players treasure their memories like I do and new players enjoy making them like we did. FIGHTING!!! XD

This image brings me so many memories of fun with friends, anticipation of what is to come, crazy Hildebrand antics and the amazing story (I never did quite manage to get a dalamud horn sadly). It was a fantastic time with events and story that really brought people together (who can forget shouting in Uldah for a party? Or making macros to change gear sets?)

When hunts were introduced I loved everything about them. A lot of late night hunting and chilling with people rather than just chilling in Mor Dhona.. I made a lot of friends during these moments!

One of my favourite memories in Eorzea was killing T7 Savage with my static. It took a lot of wipes but it was very worth it - here's a picture that I thought encapsulated my T7 experience perfectly, complete with evil-golem side eye and a very much stoned me :'D

Character: Fen Weiss

http://i.imgur.com/8QD4VWz.jpg

While perusing the tomes at the local vendor, Fen's eyes were drawn to a tome with a
heavily gilded cover and the promising title 'Biblos Fabula Puella Fen Weiss'. She opened it, expecting to find grand recounts of her daring deeds and feats. The defeat of Gaius, the legendary meeting with Kirin, perhaps mention of the capture of the Nepto Dragon or the discovery of an earring and necklace surely heavensmade!

What she is met with instead is a citizen's highly fanciful, explicit FICTION of her! Lurid libel involving other Scions, heads of states, even the post moogle isn't spared! A quick Fire spell purged the book from existence. A protesting shopkeeper was quickly compensated before the Warrior of Light stormed from the shop. These are the people she saves!

(A shame that it was BIS eh?)

See you all in Heavensward!

Comment: One of my favourite memories is when I first started exploring when the game released. I was filling out the map in Eastern Thanalan, it was right before midnight and overcast when I ran through the lower entrance to the burning wall. When I came out the weather had ticked over to clear and I saw the brilliance of the night sky framed by the corrupted aetheric crystals. The clear dark sky with its myriad of glittering stars contrasted to the outcrops, seemingly lit from within with fire. This sight remains one of my favourites.

That's me, bottom left! An unusual assortment of characters, but this was taken a couple of days before the first London Fan Meet, to mark the occasion! Sadly Enkidu couldn't make it to London, but he's always welcome at our beach parties! I love these guys :)

I have a big love for all things Allagan, but the Crystal Tower was by far my favorite. Labyrinth of the Ancients blew me away in 2.1 :) The raids themselves are still the most fun to me, and the level design was so cool :D (Syrcus Tower with all the gold and crystal was sooo rad). Learning about Allag was super interesting to me, and I really wanna know what happens to G'raha after sealing himself in. That and I kinda wanted to make the tower my new home. :cool:

I keep asking my friend to make me a Crystal Tower of my own but he keeps telling me he's not a 200-star GSM. Excuses, excuses! ...that and I'd probably need a bigger plot to house it too..:eek:

There's a lot of memories from Eorzea, Hildi, dungeons, the story missions... but the Eternal Bond ceremony stands out the most. We spent too much time running around being silly after.

I was debating what is my fondest memory from FFXIV and I think the beginnings are always the most memorable. Here I meet first time with my friend, who invited me to this game. I was shown the world of Eorzea and all the possibilities this game can offer. I got this dream attire from him, loved it soo much! It's great to have someone with whom you can play with and share similar interests. Even more if we live exactly on the opposite side of the Globe.

Baeroth Foehammer - Cerberus

Back in the day of Roegadyn Baeroth, his cute partner-in-crime Yazi Fairhammer could fit in his pocket! This is the first ever screenshot with her after I finally convinced her to start playing, now she's overtaken me! Unfortunately, if she tried to fit in my pocket now, being a Hyur, she may just end up tearing it off!

I remember finding this spot with my best friend very early on after release - I have amazing memories of sitting here and talking about how our days had been. ♥

This is a very happy memory for me since it was taken shortly after one of my best friends had gotten the game after not having been able to play games for a very long time. We live very far apart, so I was thrilled to be able to do things together in a game again! I think we emoted to each other for about an hour, just to try everything out. I picked this one since it shows our characters' personalities well; hers does not believe in himself very much, but mine is convinced he can do great things and delivers peptalks!

I have so many great moments from Eorzea, all of which I have captured in screenshots. Over 20,000 screenshots actually. This is the hardest contest by far. I waited until last minute so I can see all other entries. Also, I couldn't pick easily.
I chose this because it's such a memorable event for me. It was around the Moonfire Faire and 1 Year Anniversary Events, and one of the last times my FC was together before people just stopped playing. We'd sit in this Watermellon Bucket, the whole FC lol. And my Shrek... errr Roe friend would glitch inside it and we would ALL get stuck lol HAHAHA!

I miss you guys, can't wait for HEAVENSWARD when you'll all be back... hopefully.
Ii also miss the Bluebird Earrings, as it's the only one of the set I don't have. Please? :p

*continuing (why can't we edit???)

Sooo many memories. The months of struggle to down Twintania with my FC, and the moment Twisters started at the run I ended up clearing, we had an earthquake here in Greece, but I persisted, the mechanics were enhanced hahaha, or the moment I finally beat Titan Extreme Mode was amazing, the Seasonal Events were AMAZING (that 2014 Hatching-Tide rare FATE, soo many memories canmping out in Isles of Umbra with my friends waiting for it to spawn), OMG the storyline, Relic/Atma/Pony Farming, my first Million Gil, Minion coollecting, Leveling up my Chocobo, GOLD SAUCER with TT and Chocobo Racing, Countless hours of Treasure Hunting with my friends for that little Bluebird Minion, Gentleman of Light greatness, Crystal Tower and my love for FINAL FANTASY III, GILGAMESH, Ultros, Shantotto, Lightning, Puff Puff, and... the tragedies that befell us with the people we lost..... well, soooo many stuff!!!!!!

Thank you A Realm Reborn!

Taken a good while back, but I feel it's a pretty good action shot! It's a thing I hope to get more of. Besides, it brings back memories of slowly going through the story (taking out some rage on the wildlife, clearly) and of levelling, and talking with some of the other people who were around.

…plus, I've ended up coming back to the FATE Giant Seps a bunch, so that's helped keep it in mind. Still! Kicking dragon(fly) behind. All in a day's work.

All the best, everyone!

Its an old screenshot taken on a normal day we did our normal and Alexandrite maps as friends... we came along this spot in Eastern Thanalan and it started raining. We just sat down chatted for about 15 minutes and enjoyed our company. My friends are the reason that keep me in the game - thank you :)

In the past two years, I took a lot of screenshots. This is my favorite one.
Every time when I look at this screenshot, i can clearly recall the feeling and the memories just like yesterday.
We celebrated the Moonfire Faire, the Rising, and enjoyed the time in the game.
The night sky alighted with flowers of flame and the melodies of "answer" came out of the darkness.
That is my favorite memory i can never forget.

One of my most powerful memories from playing this game was when me and my best friend were exploring the world. We weren't very high leveled but still wanted to try and get all areas mapped, so this involved a lot of sneaking and timing it when enemies were turned away in order to get past. We died quite a few times, but could continue thanks to Mama Crystal Life Insurance.

In North Shroud we came upon a blue line that lead to an area that had a name completely different from all the others we'd seen so far, and decided to take a look, of course. Walking across the line, we came to a place that like its name was unlike anything we'd seen before - a stunning snowy landscape. And then the music started and took my breath away! Coerthas has been my favourite place to be ever since.

I was trying to chose between the moment where you come back to the Waking Sands after Ultima and everyone's gathered there and the beautiful fireworks on the Anniversary event (with the coolest version of Answers playing in the background). Both of these moments resonate with me the most, and finally I decided to sort of combine them.
All of my character's friends and allies are present and it's important for him. As for me I always play for the story and characters in it and care for them as well. Bittersweet moment considering 2.55…
