Woops. I hope my entry isn't confusing. I logged to post my blog entry on one account and didn't know the Lodestone Forums would keep me logged into a different one. The post by "Luhy" is linked to the character in the screenshot.

I think some people need to read this part again.

You may not use image editing software to alter, enhance or add more features to your screenshot.

I know I saw at least one that definitely looked "enhanced"..

So will there be a European contest for this like last time or do SE choose to completely deny our existence?

I WISH I could brighten my screenshot for sure, but not allowed! Night time Mor Dhona. =( ! ! ! ! ! !

So no event for the UK? Kinda bites that we're missing out here. I took some shots anyway but still...

Posted my entry, but wanted to throw this up too.
I think she got distracted by my Cactuar.

If I moved country and my previous address is already invalid, how do I update the address since the country in the SQE account can not be changed?

My lodestone account says that I have reached the max images due to my blog pictures from 1.0 which isn't really much. I have 200 pictures from my 1.0 days with slightly over a year playtime played. I blogged often in 1.0 and this equates roughly 1 picture per blog post and does not constitute image spamming. I don't want to remove my 1.0 pictures as it was a meaningful blog of progress I used to had in 1.0 but without doing so I will be unable to upload any pictures with 2.0 content.

Can the devs please implement perhaps a img tag allowing us to use services like imgur to link our pictures into the lodestone blog similar to how the lodestone forums? Because as it is now, the lodestone file service is not very usable with the small limit. Anyone can hit 200 pictures easily in under a year. Please allow us to use imgur links in our lodestone blog or increase our lodestone storage limit substantially please.

I had a lot of fun taking screenshots for this event, even before the contest. I'm a regular editor for the FFWiki, so I took a bunch during the event so we'd have proper coverage before the event ended, and now I took a bunch for this one, all with me dressed up as Snow! I had a tough time picking which one, but in the end, a re-enactment of one of the most memorable moments from FFXIII just had to be my pick. Since I can only enter one, I might as well put the rest of the ones I took here for everyone to enjoy! :)

Yaaaay... Another screenshot contest...

inb4 an enhanced image wins

Too bad nothing shows up on ps3 to take a screen shot of. I still never seen lightning once, I see her talking in the chat log too. Hope 2.1 fixes they have planned stops how horrible FATEs are, especially on ps3.

I agree, PS3 is a little gimped in the screenshot contests. Hopefully the PS4 version is a lot nicer.

At least this is a real contest with a real reward, instead of a necklace that they'll send us two months later in-game.

2 days and no word of an equivalent contest for EU?

You can't run stuff like this and just leave out a portion of your customers.
This just makes me feel like SE doesn't value us as much as NA players, which is nuts because EU pays more to sub in the first place, and we don't even get servers in EU.
I like this game but having disparity between regions makes me consider whether or not I should continue to hand over my money, even if it's something trivial like this bag contest - Its the principal of the matter, I expect to be treat equally.

Maybe they're holding off on EU until the EU launch of XIII-3.

No way! That would imply logic.

Agreed, alltho its possible that having "physical" objects as a prize might make it harder because of certain anti gambling laws or shipping.

Still then they should add a ingame price, regardless whatever its gil or items so that those in USA can win ingame stuff AND physical objects and the rest can win just ingame stuff.

There is no excuse at all to simply ignore a big chunk of their playerbase just because they dont happen to live in USA.

ok i'm inserting image from flickr and its showing a link between [IMG] things but nothing is showing up what gives?

Well I thought of a better caption while I was in class.

"Remember that one time when Camate thought I was one of the ladies during Vanafest? Well.. PRESENTING LIGHTNINGGGGG,

She's PHABULOUSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"

i missed the part about her actually being a lady, i screwed that up.
