FFXIV Patch 5.2 Promotional Site Released!

Yes indeed good ladies and gentlemen, the promotional site for patch 5.2 has just been unleashed with new promotional art as well!

Looks spiffy innit?  Three elements strike me as very important with that image-- the crystal shard, the image of Dalamud at the top (yes, I was there in November 2012 when it fell on all our heads in-game); and most importantly, the chap in the center with the Ascian-like glyph.

By the way.... when I think carefully about this new guy's red glyph on his face, it gave me great pause and I'm reminded of the Zodiark Glyph from Final Fantasy XII:

Intriguing yes?

We can expect release in mid-February and until then, happy gaming!

Happy New Year... 2020!

Happy New Year good ladies and gentlemen -- very best wishes for prosperity, peace and unity in 2020!

The FFXIV Developer's Blog gives a wonderful introduction for the Heavensturn 2020 event

As always, Yoshi and the Dev team have once more given us this year's cryptic poem that they traditionally release every year.   This time around, we have:


For what are Warriors of Light
But earnest souls of good intent
Resolved to do that which is right
Regardless of the consequence

-Marginalia scribbled upon a history tome in the Cabinet of Curiosity.


By the way, the Bhuj in Dubai looked like the Crystal Tower for a few moments during the fireworks display... it was truly truly phenomenal!

Be well everyone!
