Players Met IRL!

[Clavaat]

Discuss any experiences you've had meeting fellow FFXIV players IRL, either by accident or on purpose!

I'll start:

My fiance and I moved into a new house this weekend. A technician from our ISP had to come over to provide us with the cable boxes, router, etc. We're still unpacking things when she arrives, and she notices our game collection. "Oh you guys are gamers? What have you been playing lately?" Of course we both answer, "FFXIV". Immediately she laughs and says "No way! I just started playing not that long ago!" We get to talking, she's actually on a different server, but we exchange information and talk about our experiences. It was a cool surprise to meet a fellow player out of the blue.

My little brother's friends (who I last met when they were kids) all play the game now, and my brother has become the medium between us of sorts as we exchange experiences and updates on what we are doing now.
He is so bored of this that he started asking me to just move to their server lol.

And I'm the only girl at works who actively plays video games, so when some guys asked for MMO recommendations I mentionend FFXIV. Three of them played, although only one is still actively playing.

I met my boyfriend on FFXIV.
I use to live in florida, he in Mississippi. Moved two months ago so we could be closer.
XD It's pretty weird.

My girlfriend and I met playiing Final Fantasy XI and we've been living together for five years now! It was so awesome and natural for us. I hope it works out for you!

A few people I played with went to EGX in Birmingham back at the start of the year. Had people travel from outside the UK too to go to Birmingham, myself included in the few there was about 7 or 8, I think, of us there.

Great thing was, we didn't spend our time talking about the game. A few already knew each other in RL as friends or SOs but a lot of us were meeting for the first time so it was pretty fun.

That sounds absolutely wonderful, OP!

I went on a date with a guy - this is funny - simply because he had listed FFXIV as one of the games he had played. It didn't work out so well, but it was still plenty fancy!

Me and my cousin (same FC, same raid group) are going to meet several other friends from our static at the Vegas fan fest.


Hopefully along with others from our server! We will probably have a small showing but it will be cool to meet people I have seen/played this game with for the better part of a year

During FFXI, my best friend and I met up with one of the THFs from our linkshell when she was in our city on business. We were supposed to do stuff all weekend, but after the first night, he and her didn't leave her hotel room. 9 months later they were expecting their first child Now, they have two sons and live together across the country.

I was walking across campus headbobbing to Titan's theme and singing the lyrics (loudly it seemed) when another student came to my side and tapped my shoulder. I removed my headphones only for him to tell me "Don't sing that jerks praises. I still haven't beaten him in extreme mode." I was stunned and asked him which server he was on, but unfortunately he was on Diablos.

"Don't sing that jerks praises. I still haven't beaten him in extreme mode."

Best one so far.
