#moonfire faire 2019

[neriyon]

I am torn between asking Top 5 Songs and Top 5 Memories so can i ask both?

If it’s not too much? :3c

(If it’s too much I’ll pick one!)

Both is good! We'll start with songs in no particular order:

Equlibrium (Sophia's theme) One of my first favorites! I used to listen to it so much I still remember most of the lyrics by heart haha.

A Long Fall (Twinning theme) I mean, who doesn't love the party dungeon song?

Unbreakable (Fractal Continuum theme) and by extension, Order yet undeciphered (Azys Lla theme). I'm cheating and putting these out together since Unbreakable has Order yet undeciphered's leitmotif in it.

Neath Dark Waters (Amaurot overworld theme) I'm weak for that leitmotif and this one is my favorite one of the different versions.

Last one uhhhhhhh Close in the Distance. Very closely tied with Flow Together, but this was the song I liked so much that I speedran Ultima Thule fates in like two days so I could have the song playing in our house.

Then, top 5 memories. Hmm, this'll require some thinking because my memory is swiss cheese and things just fall out of there if I rattle my head around too much.

First one that comes to mind is our first run of Gubal. Our group (whm, drg and dnc) rolls in with sprouts on and all of us in cutscene. When we got out of cutscene it turned out that the tank was also finnish and declared that she "must protecc" us after asking if we were all first timers. She proceeded to be one of the best tanks I've had a plesure to heal, gave us helpful tips about mechanics and /doted all of us before leaving.

This is gonna sound a little funny but Moonfire Faire. We started playing during the 2019 one, and while we never made it to the event itself (too low level, rip), the memory of seeing the fireworks on Gridania (both on sky and a group of peeps spamming the items next to conjurer's guild haha) while doing our very first quests left a very deep mark on me. I still get really nostalgic every time the fireworks come back~

Figuring out how to do Omega unsynced with only 3 people (so we can farm by ourselves). Mostly blind, we only looked at guides after hitting mechanics we could not figure out. Up until like the last runs we kept forgetting the Omega F knockback (too focused on random chatter), or the exploding debuffs. The 10+ runs we had to do to figure out timing for tank invulns when M & F start dashing around. One of us leveling tank just for that fight (and turns out they like tanking now lol), one having to finish leveling pld bc gnb shooting themselves did not go too well when you have to have hp for the tankbusters after the invuln ends.

Endwalker boss fate farming. Sitting there for hours, getting progressively more tired and unhinged with couple hundred other people as we were so sure that yeah next hour Chi or Daivadipa would spawn. Surely next hour. It's already been 8h over the spawn timer cooldown it MUST spawn soon... right? Right??

Baby's first on launch alliance raid, Puppet's Bunker! I was so nervous haha, first time patch day alliance raid on healer? Scawwyyy. We died soooooo much lol but it was such a blast. People figuring out you could shoot eachother with the lasers, the constant "ohhhhh so that's what that does" in chat, the collective "what the fuck yoko taro?" during second phase of last boss. Now my absolute favorite content in this game is doing alliance raids right after patch so all 24 of us can be equally confused about stuff and just chill dead on the ground together.

I like to take a screenshot in front of the Goblet brimming heart display every year since they added Moonfire Faire. Some years I took pics during the Rising instead which is why I only have 7 pics but it's interesting to see the gradual improvement of graphics and see what race I still am. I felt like I was an Au Ra for a long time but actually I was only an Au Ra for about 4 years, and then from 2019 on I've been a Viera. 🐰

Finally made it to the top of the Nimble Eorzean Warrior, Moonfire Faire 2023 jump puzzle challenge. Last time I seriously attempted, and completed, this was in 2019

[[ Tulala Tuesday! It’s been a while since I’ve done a screenshot edit! The curly hair mod is amazing but huge pain to edit!  Tulala looks so dreamy and thoughtful ... probably watching Teledji fall off the climb tower for the nth time... ]]

happy moonfire faire!

Moonfire Faire 2019 || Part Two ||

And here is the second set, the night shots! I ended up with a lot more night shots than I had originally planned, as a lot of the time it was raining during the day. Not that it’s a particularly bad thing of course! I happen to adore the nights, as the fireworks are so pretty and soothing! I like to turn off the BGM and just listen to the ambience of the ocean and fireworks sometimes. It’s nice!

Know what else is nice?  These lovely nerds that put up with me as I drug them around and made them cycle through emotes while I tried to find the best pairs for shots!

Thank you again @artlessmeat @tajlana @valde-draesia and @ivaan-ffxiv You guys are absolutely wonderful! <3

I look forward to another year of adventures in Eorzea with you all!

|| Part One was here! ||

Bonus Bromance Shots

[iris-ymir]

Her eyes glowing with excitement, Silke studies a huge bowl of multi-colored fireworks. “Look at all these lovely bomblings they have here! Now what if... We pile them all by the beach, light the fuse and BOOM!! They will see it all the way to Ishgard, I tell you!” “And they would skin us alive for blowing up an entire island, you know?”, Lareine wraps her arm around her friend’s elbow, leading her to safer distance from the bowl of fireworks.

Moonfire Faire with Silke! ( @umbralich ) 🖤 2/3

The femroe NPC that cheers you on while you do the jumping puzzle for Moonfire is the real MVP.

[high-stakes-gambler]

[[ Found a Teledji 1.0 look alike among the NPCs! :’D ]]

[gegenji]

Just like last year, Gojirafell is there to cheer on those attempting the extreme climb challenge for the Moonfire Faire! Come on everyone, you can do it!

It’s not even all that tall!

Not that tall at all!

... Oh.
