If you told 2014 me who just installed FFXIV on a warm day of August that, a few years down the line, I would move countries and eventually end up in the staff credits, I would've called you beyond insane.

And yet, here we are.

Dreams do come true sometimes.

"Hey your Clerics Stance is still on"

[Avy 🫧 @AvyCatte]

FFXIV players! Let's confuse the sprouts!👀
Say something only a veteran player would understand.

[Thomas @Takhano]

We are, in fact, so fucking back. #FFXIVfanfest

[Thomas @Takhano]

So let me get this straight. We will in the somewhat near future have:

Fire Emblem FW
Dragon's Dogma 2 DA
FF Resonance
XIV 8.0
Persona 4R
Guild Wars 3
Persona 6
Kingdom Hearts 4

Can someone tell me where to find 10 extra hours in my days because I'm gonna need them☠️

[Thomas @Takhano]

I'm gonna cry, never thought I'd see the day 🥹

[Wario64 @Wario64]

@InitialiseCasts @Shakarez A saviour, you mean

WE ARE SOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING BACK

[FINAL FANTASY XIV @FF_XIV_EN]

Presenting the next expansion coming to FINAL FANTASY XIV: Evercold!

[Thomas @Takhano]

The FFTCG mana system with backups and discard for cp is the best out of any card game around, pretty much tailor made to answer the question "What if lands didn't massively suck?"

Riftbound comes right after though,very smart way to handle resource generation

[Luis Scott-Vargas @lsv]

TCG Resource System Power Rankings:

1. Lands 🏆 (MTG)
2. Gain 1 resource per turn (HS)
3. Resource deck to draw from (RFT)
4. Playing cards face-down (SWU)
5. No resources - rules constraints (YGO)

[Thomas @Takhano]

...but what about number 7 though?

Great as ever, a gem of a setlist with a couple of surprises (Plug in baby 2 anyone?) and at LONG LAST the opportunity to hear New Born live on stage.

...Yes it took *this* many tries to get it, can't believe I hit setlist hard pity. #Muse

[Thomas @Takhano]

Number 6? Number 6.

Knights of Cydonia and Plug In Baby will never get old 💙

[Thomas @Takhano]

@InitialiseCasts No Aurora and/or Brynhir bans are...certainly choices that won't massively backfire going into set 3 💀One could also argue Stellacorn should've been sent to the chopping block to keep dirty Irelia players like me in check.

[Thomas @Takhano]

@proxihunter It's alright. Not crazy strong but good tools. Ezreal is probably its worst matchup, then Viktor and Miracle Draven. Midrange Draven and Irelia are doable when you play around your big units, then you gotta hope your opponent rams into your units forgetting they have shield lmao

[Thomas @Takhano]

That's the #Riftbound Bologna RQ over.

Disappointing 4-4 finish on Rumble but lots learned in the process.

Good event and game but dreadful TOing and abysmal judging with more blatant cheating than I've ever seen in 10 years of TCGs. Genuine insanity that needs to be addressed.

[Thomas @Takhano]

@TrakanHolst Je joue pas le main event mais j'y serai pour farmer les sides👀

[Thomas @Takhano]

@rubach_till Considering there's about an OVN every 3 boxes, that's a pretty damn good hit

[Thomas @Takhano]

Friday 13th will bring me bad luck you say?

Nah, I don't think it will :) #Riftbound

[Thomas @Takhano]

@rubach_till Not bad, the card looks pretty sick! How many boxes?

[Thomas @Takhano]

@Challengertcg I'm afraid it happened almost instantly after the pull 😅

[Thomas @Takhano]

Damn wouldn't it be nice if some of that money was used to promote and grow their own Final Fantasy TCG after it also had a record year in sales...right? Would make perfect sense right? RIGHT???

[Genki✨ @Genki_JPN]

Square Enix merchandising profits doubled due to the Final Fantasy x Magic the Gathering collaboration! (profits up by 98.9%) #FinalFantasy #MTG
