Do you guys recognize players in the community? If so, what made you remember them?

I stumbled across a Youtube video regarding server etiquettes and found my character standing around Gridania in a clip. It made me wonder, do people recognize others in the game like they do in real life? Just a random thought.

I recognize some names of people I've never talked to but see around.


For the most part no, though. I wouldn't even know if a person was a well known streamer or content creator, I watch none of those for XIV.

I recognize people from the forums all the time. They're inevitably people who fail basic mechanics because they can't do basic math or count. I make sure to blacklist them so I don't see them in Duty Finder ever again.

Oooo, I love this question.

I definitely do, because I'm always hanging out in New Gridania in the evenings and always manage to come across the same players. The thing that sticks out? Well, just their names and characters to be honest because I've seen them so many times. There are a few musicians who are always playing songs between 7pm-12am and it's such a nice time to just sit around with everyone and listen/applaud the bard(s). If I were to visit Limsa I'd have no idea who anyone was and memorizing all those people would be too tedious.

Blacklist doesn’t keep them out of your duty finder groups.

There's a few people I can recognize that I see often on my server, either because I pass by them so much or their character name is recognizable. Especially people who hang out in spots other then Limsa (shout out to Magnus on Faerie in the Saucer).

I can only remember one instance of seeing a streamer's character in game and it was pretty recent when Zadnor was introduced. Their character is pretty recognizable to me because I watch their content.

So yeah, if I engage in the person's content regularly, I will recognize them in game if I see them.

I've ran into some people that I recognize from the forums, and it's so far been all good interactions. I've seen content creators around in the open world, but that's about it.

I've seen a few forum regulars around in game. Of course, it's almost always when I'm on an alt instead of my main, so.....
