We’ve all just received news of Akira Toriyama’s passing on March 1st. Upon my return to Ul’dah on the Hyperion server, I ran across this vigil in honor of the creator best known for the Dragon Ball series of Manga and Anime. Toriyama was also involved with Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest, and other video games. His art style was distinctive and his characters loved by millions around the globe. Rest in peace. Thanks for everything! Recorded 3/8/24.

RIP Akira Toriyama.
There was also a line of people in Rhalgr's Reach in Adamantoise, most of them dressed in Dragon Ball glams, several riding Flying Nimbus mounts. It was a sight to see.
Seen people lined up just like that on the Coeurl server in Ul'dah and I didn't understand why. Thanks for the info. 😢
This is very sweet, especially the music players.
And once again, within my lifetime, I see the loss of another irreplaceable legend who defined so much in our existence. It's an unwilling changing of the guard, my friends, and given the drama happening amongst the current leaders of various entertainment industries, I don't see much good coming out of it….Rest in peace, Toriyama-sempai.
first off RIP Akria. but second! the AuRa playing the Guitar… that"s me!
Same in Balmung right now.
THIS IS HOW I FIND OUT?!
I was wondering if there was something like this happening in FF14. RIP Akira Toriyama.
We had one in Zodiark too
RIP Mr.Toriyama
I want the names of the 2 fools who downvoted this
Zalera has the same and couple, me included, giving any who dont have the campfire minion if they wanted one. 😀
I just saw this last night on Balmung and I was wondering what was going on. Had no idea 🙁
They guy playing dragonball opening song perfectly
People did the same when Kentaro Mirua passed. God I love this community. May Akira rest in paradise
Sad day.
I'm pretty sure there was one of these for almost every server. This guy was a legend and was a pioneer for anime culture in the western world in more ways than one.
Was another in Ul’Dah on Behemoth, I only saw it at 2am and people were still lined up there
Behemoth, Ultros, Tonberry, Hyperion, Coeurl and many more worlds and data centers participating without even consulting each other really shows how much impact Toriyama had on our lives.
Kazuki Takahashi, Stephen Critchlow, Kentaro Miura, and now Akira Toriyama… you might have passed away but we will keep cherish your legacies in our hearts and cherish your works for as long as we live.
Midgardsomr had a campfire line in Uldah as well. So sad to see such a great leave us, but his legacy will live on far past him. RIP Toriyama, enjoy the trip down Snake Way.
there's one in Goblin server too, like still going as far as I know an hour ago, but I logged off.
He's running on snake way now
