Memories of Eorzea Screenshot Contest (NA) - Discussion Thread

Figured I might as well post my other considerations here...

Silver Sovereign Fishing...
I have spent quite a bit of time fishing in this game. There isn't any other activity (that I've done yet) with such a vast chasm between the emotional pitfalls and moments of sheer joy.



On this last pic... The fish "were detecting something amiss" in the entire Oschon's Torch area... so I had to go fish somewhere else. You can't tell by the pic, but I'm super irritated.

Dune Fishing
I really enjoy the surreal aspect of Dune and Sky Fishing. Of special note, shortly after taking these pics, a heatwave started in Southern Thanalan and I was able to catch the last Olgoi I needed for my Supra... NQ of course.




This is one of my favorite pics from story CS.

When I decided to change my chocobo's color, I sat down and looked at a chart to plan out his progression. I fed him accordingly for 3 irl days... and on the final step he DID NOT turn the color I wanted. I tried to troubleshoot it by feeding him the opposite fruit to go back a few steps, then varying it up a bit... but still didn't get the result I wanted. So out of frustration I fed him random fruit for 2 irl days and eventually got this color that I could live with. Also, I had been putting off leveling GLD until I got my bird back...

I was wondering if anyone could help me....I have submitted 2 entries but neither image will show up. I followed the directions but still no image? Anyone else having issues?

Perhaps try a different hosting site?
I've used Photobucket for years. They are slightly annoying these days as the site is now overrun with ads and pop-up... but I didn't have any problem linking images.
imgur is another popular site that I see ppl use all the time.

Does the screenshot have to have our character in it? Can it be from one of the cutscenes?

While we didn't include the requirement that your character be visible in your screenshot, please keep in mind that the winners will be judged on creativity.

can we use beta 3 or 4 pics u guys think?

If those are your fondest memories, then of course!

Does this screenshot have to be "new". I mean I have several screenshots from the moment I first experienced things like T5 divebombs and T9 Heavensfall that would definitely fit the "Memories" theme, but aren't new, but have never been entered in previous contests.

Absolutely not! As NaliaBrown mentions, this contest's theme is your fondest memory during A Realm Reborn in the form of a screenshot, so these would work very well.

Can I use shots from 1.0 era? Think I have more memorable views there than current one. ^^

No, we are looking for screenshots that represent memories from A Realm Reborn -- meaning 2.0 to the present. While I'm sure a lot of fond memories come from the 1.0 era, we're certain that there are also some great, memorable times that you experienced during A Realm Reborn.

Those times when you just don't care about anyones personal space...
I was cracking up and in my fits of laughter was able to snag this memory that continues to get a good chuckle out me.



Character name: Kitiara Uth'matar

Understood. Only asking because the rules didn't really explicit of not using 1.0 ones. Thanks for clarifying that up. ^^
