The Eighteenth Floor... floored me. :)

Thanks Naoki-san and everybody. Greatest quest ever imho.
My avatar Goodberry was so startled! No wonder, she was seeing and talking to the real Gods who created her world. And, who ever saw such an entanglement of real and virtual worlds? The virtual Naoki, created by the real Naoki, speaking to the real me through my avatar in the FF14 world...
And the philosophy of it... Goodberry is a being of bits who lives on some computers and on the Internet, she goes to sleep when I log off and awakes when I log on... when she's awake she does all kinds of extraordinary things... is she really so less real than me?
I also loved the friendliness and humbleness of Naoki's and the other devs' avatars. How I wish some other devs were like that...
Last but not least: Naoki-san is a handsome man, but his avatar is gorgeous.

You're not the only one who was impressed with this twist on the Rising. We all were amazed.

I was amazed. The 18th floor was one great big thank you note to the community. In all my years of gaming I have never felt so welcomed to play a game by its developers.

All I can say is "Thank you" back.

:)

I registered to the forum just to make this post. Im what you call a lurker.

To all the devs who participated in making FFXIV what it is today. Thankyou.

The 18th floor hit me right in the feels.

I love you guys <3

this kind of emotional gaming is why i loved final fantasy from the beginning it was great to see it come full circle

It was really a great quest. Has anybody taken Soken up on that "I want to see this room filled up with X coulettes of healing" comment?

A friend of mine was on doing the event when she told me: "This event has a Made for you stamp on it". Actually shed some tears when I experienced it.

Related to topic, there's a dev blog post showing part of the actual office. That Soken's horn though.

Now I'm wonder if there are any pictures of the rocking pony somewhere.

This Eudoian guy is a salty fucker with these tags. I understand his tag on asking for more cash shop stuff, but I don't think this thread deserves his snide comment
