Return letters from the Rising 2019

So, if anyone has done the Rising event and gotten to the repeatable quest for the tokens, you will know that the team behind the game has taken time to write to us, the players and express their thoughts and feelings about the direction the game has taken and how we are using the things they've built over the years.

I don't know if a thread like this already exists but... I decided that I would put something together so that we can write back to them, they may or may not see it, but I'm a sentimental guy and just thought that if even part of the forum moderation team or the community team were to see these it would mean a lot to them.

So... feel free to put your letters to the team below and let's see if we can't do a little bit to share, yet again, the things we find that make this game so special to us all these years after its relaunch.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Is it possible to read these things somewhere?

Go do the rising event and then continue with the repeatable missions they give and there you'll see them.

So seems the letters are divided between
small-Fans
medium-The Devs
large-Lore

I've yet to get above 5 on large and 3 on medium and small so if theres more please let me know.

Edit: just got medium 6 >_> so long way to see all

So far...

Small letters:
1. Message boards (now canon in-universe!)
6. Minions

Large letters:
1. To a fledgling adventurer, from "a fellow adventurer"
3. Re. Heavensward, from "a devoted Temple Knight"
4. Re. Stormblood, from "a former fighter of the Resistance"
5. Spoiler for Shadowbringers

Is there a #6...?

I'll be interested to try this on my lower-level alt, but most likely they'll just get whatever letters are appropriate for what they're up to in the story.

I'll have to read these online, as endearing as they are, I don't want to spend an hour running back and forth for it.

But for those I have read, it makes my heart swell. Because I have never seen so much love and care go into a game since Skullgirls (to an extent Indivisible) and Cuphead. Both indie but insanely amazing work. I wish I could attend any of the XIV events to meet and shake YoshiP's hand, but alas.

Oh man that one that's a SHB spoiler is just heartmelting like all the rest.

Thanks a ton!

(-Small Bottle, Letter III-)The other day at the aetheryte plaza, I happened upon a minstrel cheerfully strumming a tune before an admiring crowd of adventurers and townspeople.
Impromptu concerts like these have been happening more and more of late, and I daresay nothing fills our hearts with joy quite like seeing people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life bonding over a love of music.
To all the talented composers and instrumentalists out there, we thank you for providing a soundtrack to stir our own hearts. We hope that the music of Eorzea has served to render your adventures even richer and more memorable.
Ever in harmony with you,
A Humble Instrument-maker

Excuse me while I go clutch my heart.

I find it difficult to explain my taste in music since I'm not sure what to classify XIV as. It's truly a gift that keeps on giving.

To add to the Small Letters:

4. From one of the Mahjong tutors, who was worried if Eorzeans would be at all interested in the game.

As someone who really enjoys it after first experiencing it in this game, to the point where I got a physical set and play with my family, this one was particular touching.
