So I can't enter the Casting Call contest?

[yexie]

One of the requirements of the Casting Call contest was that the images you send in must be at a minimum 1024w x 1024h to 1280w x 1280h but this is a problem for me because my computer monitor is 1440w x 900h.

I don't have options I can do because altering the resolution of my screen makes everything very 'fat' like it's been stretched in Photoshop and no alterations asides from cropping are allowed and cropping in white space to meet the minimum height requirement probably wouldn't go over very well...

Is there any way these requirements could be lowered so I could enter or am I just unable to enter the contest at all?

You could also just run the game in window mode for the screenshot and set the resolution as needed.

Hello,

Due to the size of the PNGs we’ve been receiving, we’ve decided to only accept JPG and GIFs for the remainder of the entry period; however, if you’ve already submitted a PNG it will still be accepted. We just ask that any images submitted from here on out are in either GIF or JPG format.

Dang, I JUST seen this thread and more specifically this post AFTER I e-mailed it as .png... I hope it doesn't get pushed to the side.

Camate, my favorite behemoth! (Seriously, that other one in Coerthas? Seems like he never shows up to parties.) Glad to see that those of us who got flustered by formatting won't be forsaken.

The responses in this thread have me awful confused now. I just finished sending in my entry today, and I made sure to read every rule carefully. I even counted the words in the intro and converted the screenshots to .jpg. But these questions about resolutions now have me concerned I will be disqualified because mine may be too large on one side and too small on the other. I play in windowed mode at 1600 x 900.

"Image must be at least 1024 pixels tall or wide, or 1280 pixels tall or wide."

Didn't resize my screenshots because I thought it was unnecessary. 1600 x 900 qualifies according to the rule as written on the lodestone. I really hate to think I'm out of luck due to a translation error or typo now that I've sent it in, especially after my poor character had to stand around in her skivvies for the shots.

Am I the only one that sort of #Yolo'd this Casting Call? I took some good snaps, as instructed, and submitted it c:

Hello,

Did you receive a confirmation mail or anything when you submitted?
I sent days ago and absolutely nothing so not even sure they got it...

I took my pics in 1280x720 so I think it fits. Here's hoping one of us gets a shot.

So there are two different sets of rules:

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...c3132cfe3d7e99

"3. The body of the email submitted by the Contestant (with Screenshots attached) must contain all of the information listed below:
(i) The Square Enix ID of the Contestant;
(ii) A brief message explaining why your in-game character should be chosen to be featured in certain cut scenes of the Game (max. 50 words);
(iii) The name of the Contestant’s in-game character;
(iv) The name of the world the character belongs to;
(v) The race or clan the character belongs to;
(vi) The gender of the character; and
(vii) The main job or class of the character."



and

"Required Information:
Square Enix ID
Character Name
World Name
Character Race/Clan
Gender
Main Job/Class
A short comment to introduce your character (Max of 50 words)"

So there's that. (I followed the second set, so who knows if i even qualify now.)


And this doesn't help:

"Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:

What a disaster.
