When we first started dating my husband said "hey, will you try this game if I buy it for you?" 11 years later, I am a savage raider, and my husband and I co-Host a XIV podcast together (with a friend we dragged into the XIV madness).

Kelina1080 @kelina1080.bsky.social · Sep 19

So to those in the FFXIV community, what or who got you into the game and for how long have you been playing?

I'm already gonna pitch an FFXIV Retrospective and I know @rtobias.bsky.social has some music panels to pitch (haha music pun). I've been banging my head on what else to pitch, which leads to ask: What #FFXIV panels do YOU want to see happen at @gatewayfate.bsky.social?

The Carbuncle Chronicle @carbunclechronicle.com · Jun 16

So we are toying around with some panel ideas to submit to @gatewayfate.bsky.social for later this year! And we have a couple! But we also want to know, what kind of panels would YOU like to see there?

A screenshot of FFXIV, which a bunch of players questioning things. But someone has an idea! We here at The Carbuncle Chronicle are wondering what kind of panels you'd like to see a GATEway FATE this year!

I got to be a guest on the latest @mooglegoroundradio.bsky.social! Where I *immediately* accidentally derail the conversation to talk about #MomoCon and swerve into #FFXIV #FanFest speculation and pontification. THEN Occult Crescent. It was a real fun time!

Thank you to everyone who came to our #FinalFantasyXIV Trivia Panel at #MomoCon this year! It was great seeing all the IRL pickup groups popping up around in the room, teaming up to figure out the answers to our silly questions. When people say #FFXIV has a great community, y'all are the proof.

The crowd when we started the FFXIV Trivia Panel at MomoCon 2025. They were all outstanding.
