I know Faerie has grown a lot since I first started playing in ARR 2.0 and idk how many people on Faerie knew him, but my friend who I met through this game back at the start passed away last Sunday his name was Tootsie Roll he was a Lalafell who became a male miqo'te and even a female miqo'te there at the very end
Tootsie is literally one of the best friends I could have asked for
we are all going to miss him.
and if you knew him
please feel free to post stories of him

Didn't know him to be honest, but nonetheless - sorry for your loss. So awful to lose a friend and I'd assume he was quite young?
Eitherway - RIP Tootsie :( -

FFXIV is a game with an MSQ that wears it's heart on it's sleeve and often places quite some emphasis on dealing with loss; listen to 'Flow' (from Endwalker) and it's lyrics (about Hydaelyn welcoming a soul back to the lifestream following death) - I know other players who found it poignant in these circumstances.
