Of the ones I've taken this year - its probably this one.

The motion and the way both Aerik and Innocence have their hands on the other's weapon -- Aerik seeking to grab the spear, while Innocence is almost caressing Shadowbringer, as if to push it away from himself.

Went to go see the Lv 1 . They have a fanclub on my Datacenter!

If you're an FFXI fan or like the Jeuno city music - the Starlight Celebration iteration of the city theme (from FFXI's version of Starlight) is now available in Lower Jeuno for a tattered music scroll from either raid.

Unsure if it will be available permanently or only during the seasonal event

Im so glad that modern FFXIV players get to experience and memorialize “weird shit happening with a mob in open world”.

Especially since it’s the 10 year anniversary of Skybear from Heavensward. Huzzah to a new generation’s Skybear.

New WHM glam.

I was actually trying to take a better one than this and got DC'd so 🙃

THANK YOU FOR FREEING ME FROM A PRISON OF ROBES, SE.

Being able to use RDM and GNB AF pieces to dress my WHM is so nice.

Hell yeah!

Man, the Cardinal Gate Extra Stage system in IIDX DistorteD really did change the trajectory of the series for good.

I wish there was a way to re-unlock the Cardinal Gate version of the song title screens. I love seeing the artist names as the Song Titles.

In the end - I guess it had always been me that had been his "Good Reason."

A smile like this is practically his default state most of the time.

One more debt fully paid off!!!

That leaves me with 3 left I believe.

I’m getting really close to finally having everything settled! The remaining three are the BIG ones that are going to take a year or so to finally get handled if I keep making only the minimum payments.

For example, here's a couple of other parts of the Alliance housing area:

What flavor is your character?

Some friends and I did a fun little exercise where we traded OCs and everyone got to re-interpret that person's OC in their style.

Here's my version of @frostedbiticles.bsky.social 's Demi!

Also I fully blame beatmania IIDX for me knowing the term "Setsugekka" well before it was added to FFXIV as a skill name lmao

Even have myself an arcade style Doubles Deck for IIDX too.

Just realizing that I'm coming up on nearly 25 years of being a rhythm game fan (at the end of December of this year, specifically). The BEMANI series is where I got my start and continues to remain my favorite series of rhythm games.
