Very important question for y'all: If you were offered a 1" button pin or magnet at a convention that has a FFXIV Bard buff on it, which would you take? 🏹

Poll here!

Being a southerner living outside of the south is a constant war against people deploying the laziest stereotypes imaginable without ever living in the south while also realizing you used to know a guy who used a homemade spear to kill wild boar that came in his front yard.

I've been collecting poetry for 8 years and some change for my characters. I couldn't possibly pick a favorite for any individual character-
But I can for all of them at once.

flash the taskbar if I'm tabbed out and a queue pops. Or bring the XIV window to the front. Please...

what is a quality-of-life addition you, the player, want added to the game?

For basically all of her existence, Sif was «The Song Upon the Wind» to pair with Dug's «Survivor of the Song» (there's Lore there) until 7.0 when we got «On the Trail». It's the first fitting title they've handed us. Sif and Dug are vagrants, always hittin' that dusty ol' trail.

okay so i have a sorta #wolqotd

what in-game title do you use and why? is it canon or not? does it say more about you as the player or your character?

Rakaso, who is Wintry Wight in game, uses The White.
Because Moon Moon is peak humor.
But also she's literally a duskwight white mage.

Dug actually gets a pain relieving cream made by @martineei.bsky.social 's Martin every so often in a care package. Great for his knees and back.
Given his propensity for climbing and the like... it's massively helpful to him.
He laments that he sounds old when he says he loves it.

Does your WOL/OC have some joint pain from adventuring? With how much they fight, jump from high places, do various strenuous emotes or things of that nature?

Not necessarily crippling stuff, just the occasional groan when they stand up and stuff like this.

Can you tell I am 30 irl?

Las Jaras y El Venado - You thought we were done? Sif and Dug rightfully deserve another card. Their loving dedication to being wonderful friends to Hani and Dane, its a bit uncanny just the lengths they both go. Erah'sae might simply just be meeting his demise.

30 minutes till start!! 🏹🦌

La Maceta y La Arpa - Martin joins the deck, hidden amongst the shrubbery of their own demise. Swirling green orbs peering through to you as they grace the stage. Siobhan is not only a true beauty, she's a wondrous musician, out to steal everyone's hearts and souls.

Just ONE more day! 💐🪕

La Sirena y El Valiente - Dane returns to serenade us, lulling us into the sea with her soft, soothing voice. Joseni is here to beat up anybody who even attempts reaching his wife.

Just 2 more days! 🧜‍♀️👊

El Diablito y La Rosa - The mischievous Kaito and the dignified Niamh are essentially inseparable, it's no wonder they love each other so much. When together, they aren't a couple to be messed with.

Just 3 days left! 😈🌹

El Pájaro y El Corazón - Severine and Lily aren’t exactly a duo but the two of them have been long-standing fans, fit to be part of the deck. Lily’s overall kindness and Sev’s strong willed voice are nothing to mess with.

Just 7 days left! 🩷🦜
