Thank you very much for your continued support of THE PRIMALS.
As announced earlier today, we are deeply saddened to share the news of the sudden passing of bassist Eikichi Iwai.
Having witnessed his truly unforgettable performance on stage at the recent FINAL FANTASY XIV Fan Festival in Japan, the sudden news of his passing has come as a profound shock. The members of THE PRIMALS and the entire FFXIV Development and Operations teams are overcome with deep sorrow.
As we reflect on all that Eikichi-san has left behind, our thoughts are with him, and we offer our heartfelt condolences.

Hey all, I wanted to give a quick update ahead of the RC EU this week. We’ve heard questions and feedback about distribution of Foil and OVN Plated Legends. We are partnering with @Collect and will now be distributing them post-event.
For both RC EU and Convergence Fest, Best-Of winners and the Top 52 Overnumber Foil Plated Legend draft participants will create a Fanatics Collect account and have their card deposited into their account. Fanatics Collect allows a protected means of distributing these cards to their recipients who will then be able to do whatever they choose with them whether it is to keep in storage, have delivered to their home, or transfer ownership to someone else.
This obviously introduces a new process and we are working with the Fanatics Collect team to ensure it is a smooth process for players. Additionally, Riot will be covering Fanatics Collect delivery fees relating to this service for the winner of these cards; but will not do so for any transferred ownership.
As the stakes of these prizes rose we’ve been working to address the player safety which came with distributing them on-site. This partnership with Fanatics Collect is a win for players as a means to ensure their prizes and their own personal safety. Player safety at Riot events is of paramount focus for us.
And don’t worry, we will still be taking Best-Of photos for the winners, however it will be with media copies of the plated legends.
Una VTuber independiente en Japón llevó su especial de Halloween al extremo al implementar una dinámica absurda en tiempo real. Si su contador de espectadores en vivo era impar, actuaba como una súcubo seductora; si la cifra era par, se transformaba literalmente en un autobús.
Durante la transmisión, Rurino Nemo imitó ruidos de motor y aceleración a todo pulmón durante más de media hora. El evento se volvió viral por la insólita respuesta de su audiencia: los espectadores confesaron que el personaje del vehículo generó mucha más demanda que el de la súcubo.
New episode of Meta Shift podcast is also up!
This time we discuss the early DZ-BT17 meta, upcoming events and I went on about Digimon TCG for a while.

Also can't say I'm happy to find out BCS Melbourne is only 2 weeks before Sydney, especially because we had to wait to get the Melbourne date.
As I've said numerous times before I want to engage with the game(s) I play more than 2 months a year. Spread events out please.
