Merry Christmas to the FFXIV family...

Merry Christmas and happy holidays ladies and gentlemen -- its ben a heck of a year and I hope you all continue to endure while also being in gratitude.  

First off pic-- below is just myself and three lovely other Dark Knight friends on the Excalibur server

By the way, I've been playing Genshin Impact on and off since its launch in September and I was thoroughly impressed by this fan-made cosplay video done by Lightrefraction.  I have to say, it was quite impressive and is already a massive hit with the Chinese community-- hopefully the FFXIV fans can soon come up with one...

 

By the way, FFXI veterans-- do you all remember this wonderfully made fan-movie from Aladora that she made back in 2004?  I remember having joyful tears in my eyes the first time i watched it and we talked about it for years on the Allakhazam forums. Brilliant stuff...

Also a shout out to Soken and the entire Music team-- if you are reading this, I will please want this wonderful song for the New Nest at Ishgard's Firmament on orchestrion roll.    Hands down one of the most wonderful compositions made-- breathtakingly wonderful.
