The Starlight Initiative Presents: A Weekend of Gift Giving!
Hello there, and happy holidays to you and yours!
The Starlight Initiative is here, and we would like to invite you to join us in Mateus on the Crystal Data Center from December 8th thru the 10th! On that particular weekend from 6 PM - 11 PM Central time each night, you are invited to come over and ask us and our wonderful Little Helpers for something you'd like this Starlight Celebration! The main events will be taking place at the Starry Garden in Empyreum, Ward 9, Plot 42!
More information as well as a Discord link under the cut!
No worries if you can't make those specific times! Feel free to inform us of any time concerns you have, and we'll make a personal delivery at a time that is good for you!
If you would like to join our Discord for more information, or even to volunteer your own time and efforts, you can find the link here! Note that raffles for our high-value items (5 mil gil+ items) will be held here so that we can coordinate how best to get winners their prizes! Otherwise, we are willing to answer any and all questions you may have through the Ask system, in-game if you see us, or through Messages!
We have crafters, gatherers, people who are eager to run content, and more who have all generously donated their time for those that would like something they've been looking forward to this year. We also have a great many things stockpiled ready to distribute for those that are looking for such things.
This is our very first year holding such an event, and we're all very excited to fulfil just about any wishes that you might have! Due to this being our first year, we do have some requests for people to please bear in mind:
Keep your wishes limited to three per person if you could, please!
Make sure that what you're asking for is tradable or can be farmed! We do have people willing to help farm for some stuff up to a point. We're not confident enough this year to say we have dedicated raiders to help with Endwalker and most Shadowbringer farms, but we can certainly do our best to have a space where you can coordinate these efforts with the help of those that we have that are confident enough to do so!
Be sure not to ask for things that may cost more than 5 million gil -- much as we would love to gift you something that is that price and more, we don't want to stretch our funds immediately across everyone who has been willing to donate gil. Hopefully next year, we can truly be able to gift anything at any time!
We are always looking for volunteers or donors that are willing to contribute to the event in any capacity if you're feeling generous! ^_^
We look very forward to seeing you, and answering any questions or concerns!
-Admin Prim

Dear North American XIV Players
I have noticed during my Oceana visit, some of you NA players were shouting your ad venues.
Do you not read? The developers posted a while ago well before testing began!
*CHARACTERS WITH A HOME WORLD IN THE OCEANA DATA CENTER WILL BE UNABLE TO TRAVEL TO A DIFFERENT PHYSICAL DATA CENTER
Apparently, a lot of you missed the memo when traveling to OCE for the first time.
The details of this are here in Upcoming Test of Cross-Region Data Center Travel

Sights of Eorzea: A Quick Update!
First of all - sorry for the lull in posts about pretty things!
The team behind the Sights of Eorzea discord server has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to set up the space, and it's consuming a good chunk of my free time. With that said, much has been done - so here's a quick feature rundown, and a teaser of things to come!
Guides
Every single guide I've worked on so far is listed there, and you can filter by subject and type!
Places to go, Studios to visit
One of the most used features in the server, the gpose-location forum allows users to post their screenshots with location and search tags - so if you're hunting for that perfect spot, this is the place for you!
In the same forum, you can find Studios as well! They're categorized by physical data center (NA, EU, JP, and OCE) and residential zones, and if you have a studio you can create your own entry and let other people discover your amazing work!
In the works: External location database
In parallel, we are also preparing to launch an external website specifically designed for scene search! It will be in sync with the server's gpose-location forum, allowing external users to have access to the contributed entries and search by tags!
(I know, the interface is awful. It's a work in progress, Ok? ;))
We're also planning to have a map view of these entries, where you can look for different angles and perspectives!
With all that said - you're invited to join Sights of Eorzea today and participate in its already vibrant and welcoming community! Join us as we forge new friendships, share captivating stories, and embark on adventures together!
P.S. I promise I'll resume my usual gpose and virtual photography content soon™; thanks for your patience!

most nuts thing about ffxiv NA data center is that the ul'dah starting area in one of the servers, balmung, is notoriously THE hub where everyone across servers congregates to ERP. a crucial building that you enter in the tutorial and will regularly be returning to in the starting stretch. by random chance a newcomer could create a character and earnestly enter the world of ffxiv directly into the center of.

wait which ffxiv data center do you play in?
I play on Light! Started out in the NA servers but moved my boy back to Europe for various reasons (mostly that time differences meant I was having to deal with not just the dps queue, but the dps queue when half the server population was asleep 😔).

Welcome~
I'm Skaar (he/they).
▬ Folllows come from @undisclosed-id
This hub will be 98% reblogs, 1% opinion pieces/shitposts from me about the game, 1% WoL QotD when I'm struck by inspiration.
Navigation
— Nymeia's Favor (art) — Byregot's Blessing (screenshots, gifs, videos) — The Wanderer's Minuet (writing) — Thaliak's Wisdom (meta, lore) — Resources — Shitposts
I tend to stick to SFW content. However, partial nudity/suggestive art might still occasionally happen.
This blog is not spoiler free!

Crystal archives (for RPers on NA data centers)
Chaos archives (for RPers on EU data centers)
Old French names for your Elezens
Units of time/measurement in FFXIV
The wonderful @mimble-sparklepudding has made plenty of OC ask lists you can answer to share your OC lore!
Gpose resources
— Gposingway (Reshade with some pre-installed presets that work well for FFXIV, like True Realism, so you don't have to look for them yourself) — BIPOC friendly presets for GShade/ReShade
Now, a bit of information because I've read truly dumb takes that border on mass hysteria about generative AI:
GPosingway is just ReShade with pre-installed presets that are guaranteed to be up to date with that version of ReShade and with the game. That's it. It's a package, not a fork. If you use it, you're actually just installing ReShade, and you can change, delete and add presets and textures like you would with a manually installed ReShade.
This is why I'm listing it here despite disagreeing with Leon Aquitaine (the dude at the helm of the project) about generative-AI, in the sense that he's in favor and I'm not.
→ Wi-Fi's presets (included with GPosingway) might use AI textures. Idk. Their website is unavailable on my end so I can't confirm (and I have better things to do than to hunt them down). If you don't want to risk it, you can either delete the presets and textures or just change the textures to something you're more comfortable with. Or not use their presets at all. Or not install ReShade through GPosingway. Whichever you prefer. Nobody's going to spy on you to know what you're doing on your own computer—although the use of AI generated stuff might grant you the dubious honor of being blocked by some if spotted.
However, if you were using GPosingway so far and has now decided against it in light of these revelations: you... don't have to do anything. You've just installed Reshade with a bunch of presets, not a goddamn virus. Just do the updates manually from now on (if you want to update at all), pick your presets on your own and you're good to go.
Miscellaneous resources
— Sea's compendium is an extraordinary place to look for more communities, events, discords, free companies, etc.

Hey, sorry for the absense, my friends introduced me to the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the Award-Winning Heavensward Expansion and ALSO Award-Winning Stormblood Expansion up to level 70 for free with no restrictions on playtime in late September and also university is hard so I kinda forgot about Tumblr (not to mention the fact that Endwalker spoilers that it started to recommend me also made me reconsider returning prior to my completion of MSQ), but because the NA Cloud StressTest servers happened, I decided to make a little post about it here.
So, I was the person who made Edward Elric for this server. Of course he had to be a lalafell.
I first came here for the sake of memes and looking at funny nicknames, but I managed to find a lot of fun and friendly people here. Some didn't have Discord, some were on JP Data Centers (which is great, I am from a JP DC myself) but they were speaking Japanese and weren't too great at English, but some people were willing (and able) to talk to me and I appreciate that...
tbh FFXIV made me find a lot of new awesome people and for that I am incredibly glad that my friends decided to invite me here. I may be a bit too hyperfocused on the game at times, but it's the first MMO that I hadn't abandoned after level 30/month of playing. It's truly special but I will talk about it later perhaps.
I make this post to find more people that might've seen me during the stress test. I hope I really made the day for you with my weird, almost drunken shenanigans when it came to me offering "the fullmetal eggs" to some folk, lol
Anyways, time for some nickname highlights (click on the image to see the full thing)
Man I love this community.

ffxiv asks 2 and 28?
2. data center?
i'm on chaos (EU data center) & spriggan for irma, and Crystal (NA data center) & coeurl for v'rhym! the catboy is invading america because of @chryza. sorry about that everyone
28. which class would you want to see added next?
honestly i have no idea. i miss the arcane mage class in wow but We Have So Many Goddamn Wizards Already. i think the class we're missing most at this juncture is some kind of druid class, which i had assumed would be added in DT (not that i'm complaining, i love pictomancer a LOT better) but it's not necessarily something i personally would dream of - just thinking we're lacking the traditional PlantMagic guy who can shapeshift or something

as someone who is extremely panicky about joining larger groups in ffxiv - how do you do it? i have to take half a xanax to get through a full roulette...
Oh man I totally started out there too! For me it was just getting used to playing my role and becoming more secure in the knowledge that if anyone pitched a fit at me (which rarely happens, but y'know, occasionally there's a guy) it was them being unreasonable. If you're on any of the NA data centers and need a roulette buddy, let me know! You got this, I'm rooting for you <333

Ok so i am planning on trying out the free trial of final Fantasy 14 in 2 months and i was wondering. Since you're really good at it may i have some tips? Some do's and don'ts?...also how 2 romance Urianger (And nooo! This is definetly NOT an excuse to hear you talk about Final Fantasy what are you talking about!)
Aaa, I'm glad you're thinking about trying out the free trial! The game is lots of fun, and the free trial includes the Stormblood expansion now! In two years...it will include Shadowbringers, one of the best expansions... e v e
Anyway, here's some advice:
Make sure to choose the right server. While world visit and data center travel are now a thing so you can play with friends who are on different servers and datacenters (though this is limited to logical datacenter [NA vs EU vs JP vs OC]), it's more fun and less stressful to be on the same server as your friends, and you can also be in the same free company (guild) together as long as you're on the same server, too! My advice if you don't know anyone playing the game that you want to play with is to choose a low population server (you can check server population on sites like this). You can see that some worlds are listed as "congested." Avoid those, because if a friend ever decides to join you, they're going to have a hell of a time getting onto the same server as you due to character creation and transfer services being disabled for congested worlds.
---
While FFXIV is an MMO, you can play completely solo if you wish thanks to the Trust system implemented in Shadowbringers. That being said, I still recommend choosing to run dungeons with other players, because they can help explain mechanics, give helpful tips on how to play your job, and you can even make friends! People in FF are generally friendly and forgiving if you make mistakes. That said, if you choose to play with people, you need to keep in mind DUNGEON ETIQUETTE.
If you're the tank (blue class icon), it's your job to turn on your tank stance, go first, grab enemies, keep them off your teammates, turn bosses away from your teammates, and interrupt certain enemy abilities that cause their castbar to flash red.
If you're the healer (green class icon), it's your job to stay behind the tank, DO NOT GRAB ENEMIES BEFORE THE TANK, keep the tank healed when they're fighting enemies since they should be taking most of the damage, heal yourself and the rest of your party when damage is taken, and try to dps in between healing.
If you're a DPS, your job is to stay behind the tank, DO NOT GRAB ENEMIES BEFORE THE TANK, attack the same enemy that the tank is attacking (when there are 2 enemies), use your AoE (area of effect/multitarget) abilities on 3+ enemies, and focus your attacks on enemies that need to be taken down first (helpful parties will mark a giant 1 over the head of enemies that need to die quickly).
Things that all three roles need to do are keep mindful of fight mechanics, try to take as little damage as possible, and in general just be polite.
---
When you're start the game, you'll be told to go to the same guild as whatever class you chose (Lancer, Archer, Pugilist, etc). Though the story doesn't require you to do anything aside from talk to the guild receptionist briefly, I STRONGLY recommend speaking to them a second time to actually join the guild, because many of your best abilities are locked behind guild quests.
Your guild will also assign you a Hunting Log, which marks enemies in the wild as hunting targets. When you kill however many it requests, you get a chunk of EXP, so Hunting Logs are very useful for gaining levels in the beginning of the game.
---
When you reach level 15 and unlock your first dungeon, there's a building to the right of the dungeon that an NPC recommends you check out. Inside that building you'll meet The Smith, who offers lessons on how proper fight and party etiquette in a dungeon. Even if you come from another MMO, know all there is to know about dungeon etiquette, or anything like that, I STRONGLY recommend you do these lessons regardless of any reasons. The reason for this is because completing these lessons not only gives you gear that's very good for its level, but at the end it also gives you a 30% exp boost ring.
---
Make sure to click on and attune to every single aetheryte/miniature aetheryte you see in a zone or a town. Attuning to large aetherytes give you the ability to teleport to them from anywhere, which not only comes in handy, but if you leave a zone without attuning and then the story wants you to go all the way back, you gotta walk, m'dude. Miniature aetherytes within towns allow you to click on them and teleport throughout the town's aethernet to other mini aetherytes (or the large one at the town center.) Attuning to every single mini aetheryte in a town unlocks the ability to teleport straight to the gates of the town and into whatever neighboring zone you need.
---
That's all I can think of at the moment (I have a migraine again, sorry), but I strongly recommend playing with a friend who already knows the game so that you can have real time help when you need it.

FFXIV LFRP – Gia Gabriella
Be sure to read the bunny’s rules and detailed about too! I rp in multi-para/novella style on Tumblr and on Discord and you might be able to talk me into in-game meetups on NA data centers.
This is a sideblog to avaritia-ffxiv.
THE BASICS
Name: Gia Gabriella
Age: Rough equivalent to mid-twenties
Nameday: 6th Sun of the 3rd Umbral Moon

Birthplace: Golmore Jungle

Children: None
Parents: Ada Falshki (mother). Father’s exact identity unknown to him.
Siblings: None from his mother, probably some from his father, but doesn’t know for certain
Other relatives: Some, none of particular importance
Pets: None
TRAITS
Extroverted / In Between / Introverted
Disorganized / In Between / Organized
Close Minded / In Between / Open Minded
Calm / In Between / Anxious
Disagreeable / In Between / Agreeable
Cautious / In Between / Reckless
Patient / In Between / Impatient
Outspoken / In Between / Reserved
Leader / In Between / Follower
Empathetic / In Between / Apathetic

HABITS
Smoking Habit: None
Drugs: Mild ones recreationally, but rarely
Alcohol: Rarely
CHARACTER HOOKS
Wanderer’s Life for Me: He rarely stays long in one place. While one side-effect of that is that he can incredibly hard to get a hold of when you want to, it does also mean that he covers enough distance on the regular to be found practically anywhere within Eorzea. So, no matter where you’re at, you might just meet him.
Sheer Apathy: Are you in trouble? Don’t expect him to step in. Are you making trouble? He might hang around to observe. How would you react in either role? What manner of trouble was it? Really, you could be torching a village and he still wouldn’t make a move to stop you.
Garlean Antipathy: Forever caught in indecision between staying as far away from Garleans as he possibly can and butchering any Garlean he comes across, Gia’s feelings towards the Empire aren’t exactly warm, to say the least. He wouldn’t wish to admit to his fear, but it tends to be obvious anyway. Expect the unpredictable and oft violent reactions of a cornered animal.
Of the Jungle: Although Golmore Jungle is long behind him, he does at times, perhaps even often, yearn for those simpler days. Are you a fellow Viera, Rava even, that would bring a piece of that old home with you?
Voidbound: Reaper by trade, his soul is tied to the Void through his Avatar. Are you someone who knows of the condition? Share it, even? You’d pique his curiosity instantaneously; he hasn’t met a great many Reapers in his time.
OUT OF CHARACTER
Mun is located in Northern Europe.
Discord is available if we’re planning to rp together.
As a general rule there’s nothing I'm entirely unwilling to write, but let’s discuss everything and make sure we’re on the same page. I’m also cognizant of in-character consequences and might refuse to rp something as a result. However, I am particularly open for dark content with Gia, so if you have any ideas, do share.
Open-ish to ERP with the disclaimer it’s an IC dead-end. I also won’t rp it only for the sake of rping it. Not particularly open to shipping because Gia already has an OTP and I struggle to see him with anyone else.
I mostly write in a single timeline, but I’m not completely opposed to AUs.
