Wyrmsfire XIV

16/12/2023

Added some winter themed decorations to the outside of my Free Company house. The tree is the closest I could find to a Christmas tree. The shrubs with the lights are purchasable items from this year's Starlight Celebration event.

Finally got my hands on the new Final Fantasy XIV Arrangement Album "Forge Ahead" today. Currently playing it on my PS4 and watching the videos. You can switch between band live video and in game footage video.

It also comes with item codes for in game orchestrion rolls for "In the Balance" and "Dedicated to Moonlight."

I am almost done with the Shadowbrings post-MSQ events leading into the current expansion Endwalker. What we have here is the weather event called Starshower. What I didn't know the first time I experienced this was that this was a foreshadowing of The Final Days. I'm glad that I replayed through the main story quests again, knowing what I know now. It's pretty cool and the music is hauntingly beautiful.

I got to participate in a concert of sorts. This was a really fun event.

Finally got around to finishing the final tier of Stormblood raids, Omega: Alphascape. This is the gearset for tanks, called the Omicron Gear of Fending. Now it's time to work on the raid series for Shadowbringers.

This is what a thunderstorm looks like in Il Mheg. Absolutely stunning.

Uploaded a video to my YouTube channel. I ran through the Qitana Ravel dungeon. Check it out and let me know what you think! Would appreciate subs to my channel as well. Thank you!

The empire of Ronka was a place of magic and enlightenment, of peace and prosperity. Sadly, it was not meant to last. Though naught but ruins remain, they re...

The Rak'tika Greatwood - Once, long before its towering trees were seeds, in this millennia-old forest stood the royal capital of an advanced magical civilization─the Ronkan Empire. The stony remnants of its lost grandeur can still be spied beneath the shadowy boughs.

Let's ride through the Blind Forest of Yx'Maja to the town of Fanow!

It's time for silly tricks and tasty treats! All Saints Wake is live in game until Nov 13th!

Emet-Selch makes his presence known. Now we are getting to the good parts of the story!

This is how I feel when I switch over to my Culinarian job. 😂

23/10/2023

Celebrating my 1st year on Facebook. Thank you for your continuing support. I could never have made it without you. 🙏🤗🎉

Finished the Stormblood raid tier Omega: Sigmascape and I was able to gather enough tokens to pick up this tier's armor set. This is the Carborundum Set of Fending for tank classes. The final boss is Kefka, from Final Fantasy 3 (US). The series also had the Phantom Train as well. That had to have been my favorite fight of the series.

Now onto the next, and final tier of this raid series: Omega: Alphascape! Should I record the fights?

New area footage from London Fan Fest 2023: Yak T'el and Urqopacha. The music is fantastic!

21/10/2023

Well now! 👀 Final Fantasy XIV and XVI crossover event!! The Path Infernal! Looks like there will be content for both XIV and XVI. No details on release, other than soon. Please look forward to it!

Tuliyollal - Main hub city for Dawntrail.

"The seat of the federal nation-state governing Tural, Tuliyollal is located in the norther reaches of Yok Tural.

The nation's ruler is currently Gulool Ja Ja, a two-headed Mamool Ja.

Tuliyollal is a pluralistic city with an established sea route to Old Sharlayan."

Final Fantasy Fan Festival 2023 in London kicked us off with a reveal of one of the two new jobs coming in Dawntrail! The job will use two one-handed swords with a special twist! They can combine into a single two-handed weapon for powerful attacks. The job will weave back and forth between the two weapon styles.

So who wants to change their main job to play as the VIPER! Check out the job video below!

"Il Mheg - Tucked away in the mountains, this enchanted land was once home to the Kingdom of Voeburt. When men abandoned it following the Flood of Light, it instead became home to the fae folk, the playful and childlike pixies chief among them."

Got some screenshots from before and after the pixies lift the fog and stopped messing around. The environment is very beautiful.

"With its influence extending across the majority of the isle of Kholusia, this powerful military nation once stood firm against the onslaught of the sin eaters. Recent years have seen a drastic shift in Eulmore's position, with the wealthy upper classes turning their backs on the plight of the world, indulging in an endless parade of decadence and debauchery."

16/10/2023

"Amh Araeng - It was on the edges of this vast desert, occupying the southern expanse of Norvrandt, that the Flood of Light was halted. Inhospitable from the beginning, it now lies on the threshold of life and all-consuming radiance."

Join me on this short run through the desert to check out the local scenery and wildlife! The music is really good here too!

Started the journey through my favorite expansion, Shadowbringers. I absolutely love the story. This is where we learn about Hydaelyn and Zodiark, their origins, and the part that the Ascians play in the overall story.

So we travel to Norvrandt, the last bastion of civilization on The First. Beset by a world ending calamity caused by a flood of light, never to know the darkness of night, the people carry on the best they can.

Plot Twist! 👀

13/10/2023

Completed the Deltascape tier of raids. This is the Genta Armor of Fending for tank classes. Next up: Sigmascape!

07/10/2023

For my birthday yesterday, I got a pretty neat present. This is the art book "The Art of Eorzea: Another Dawn" and it is filled with tons of stuff! Absolutely love it. I have 3 other art books, plus the cookbook. My collection is growing.

It also comes with an item code to get a "Model Enterprise" minion in game. I'll have to grab a video of it doing its thing.

19/09/2023

Check out my new mount! This is the Auspicious Kamuy, inspired by the white tiger. It is beautiful and goes well with my white armor. Originally obtained in the Extreme version of the Byakko trial, this mount is available as a vendor reward during the Moogle Treasure Trove event. There are a couple of other Kamuy mounts available that I want, so I will be trying to get them.

The skies over Ala Mhigo are hauntingly beautiful.

17/09/2023

Key art work for the upcoming Patch 6.5: Growing Light! Absolutely love it!

16/09/2023

The final battle begins! For Ala Mhigo!

As you can see, I love taking screenshots of all of the different places and wildlife in Eorzea. I've pushed through The Fringes, making my way to the occupied city of Ala Mhigo. Here are a couple more shots of some of the wildlife you'll encounter: A Teloceras, Tracker Antlion, Skimmer, Diakka, Dust Dhara, Velodyna Pugil, and a Gazelle. I hope you like the designs the developers and artists came up with.

Just wait until we get into the Shadowbringers expansion. The artists really outdid themselves.

09/09/2023

Got some cool screenshots of some of the monsters and wildlife you will encounter on your adventures through the Azim Steppe. Here we have the Purbol, Steppe Dhole, Steppe Gedan, Mammoth, Halgai, and Baras.

The finale of The Rising 2023 event, with a special message from Yoshi-P. I still don't know how to edit or improve video captures, so I apologize for the non professional look. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for 10 years of Final Fantasy XIV! And here's to many more!

30/08/2023

The Rising 2023 is now underway! Here are some screenshots from the event. I really enjoyed it. It is simple, with a quest that is self reflecting. I thought it was very well done. The event is live until the launch of patch 6.5, so be sure to grab your goodies before it ends!

24/08/2023

Was doing some file clean up on my computer today. Apparently my game install of FFXIV was saved to OneDrive and that is what the client was using instead of the local copy. Cleaned that out and just assumed that the local copy of the files were used. Nope. Wrong. Wiped out all character settings and data. It's going to take me forever to set things back up. Oh well. My settings needed a refresh anyway.

Just watching the fireworks from my house in the Goblet.

"With gratitude for the journeys thus far, we look to the journeys still to come."

The Rising event begins on August 27th and will last until the launch of patch 6.5. With this being the games 10th anniversary, you knew they were going to go big with event rewards.

Rising Phoenix Mount
The Rising Advertisement (wall mounted poster)
The Land Reborn Orchestrion Roll
Pom From The Heavens Orchestrion Roll

That mount itself could easily go for $30-$40 in the online store, but Yoshi-P is giving it to us for free. It looks beautiful.

The Ruby Sea. Separating Othard and Hingashi yet ruled by neither, the Ruby Sea has, for as long as anyone can remember, been controlled by the Confederacy. To this day it remains free of any outside influence and is inhabited by a variety of peoples and beastmen, including the turtle-like Kojin.

13/08/2023

Kugane. A city across the Ruby Sea from Othard, Kugane stands as the only port in Hingashi whose docks remain open to foreign vessels in the era of occupation. It is situated upon the island of Shishu, the westernmost island of Hingashi, and its name is the ancient Hingan word for "gold." Here, ships from all corners of the world can be found, and it is not uncommon to even see Eorzean galleys and Garlean warships docked side-by-side. The bustling center of trade boasts a beautiful cityscape and also serves as a den of espionage and political intrigue.

13/08/2023

The final dungeon before making it over to Kugane is the Sirensong Sea. A vast ship graveyard, haunted by the ghost of a siren. Beautiful graphics and scenery in this one here.

The Moonfire Faire was a success for the Sunshine Savior!
