  1. So far I can best sum up this event as my poor Au Ra's knees need immediate and urgent healer attention yet I just HAVE to climb this silly tower and start a bon fire on the top of it… No one but gravity can stop me! But ohh boy is gravity putting up one heck of a fight!!

  2. I've been sick for a few days and haven't been awake for more than an hour till today, so I hope to have enough energy to actually get on the game today and do the Moonfire Faire. It'll be my first time doing this event. Love the video. It's the pick me up I needed to cheer up a bit.

  3. As a newer Adventurer (2 months in, 346 hours played, and only halfway through HW), all these community events, FC events and server events just make this game hit different. This us my first, and only MMO, as im an oldschool JRPG fanboy. But falling in love with this world, its Lore, and its people, have made the time spent that much better. And your content is a huge part of tha6 for me. Keep the great work, as an archivist and scholars work is never done, lol. Also, would love to see more Lore vids on the people of The World, both present and past. Regardless, thank you for all your hard work, and in answer to your ending statement, i Did take it easy for a bit <3

  4. This was my first time doing the Nimble Warrior course, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The platforming section really put all those years of playing Mario to good use and the bomb-ridden "new" course was a lot of fun! The best part of the course by far, was the slide at the end. 🙂

  5. Got a lore suggestion for either halloween or april fools. If there's enough info, maybe do a video on the Gentle Dead Men, the group of zombies that follow Hildy around. For whatever reason, they are one of the few undead that is capable of sentience and are just doing their own thing. I've been revisiting the Hildibrand quests and got back to the point in the stormblood one where you find one of these zombies in a werewolf outfit. I get that it's a gag and not to be taken seriously, but what are these guys doing in the background? So far, the 2 times you meet them again (in HW and SB respectively) they are trying to- for lack of a better word- parley with fellow undead to no avail. Both of these undead they seek are the ones we re-kill in dungeons, the Dusk Vigil and the Sirensong Sea.

  6. First-timer here, I was able to climb the course pretty quickly thanks to my mastery of Leap of Faith (and maybe my toon being a Miqo'te). Then I sat at a campfire at a beach and listened to some people play music

  7. Very cool. I was wondering about this things' origins. I'd kind of gleaned that it had to do will culling the bomb population, but that the Roegadyn quest npc was the one who brought it back? Also cool to know.

    That tower? I missed it and hate it at the same time. It's been kicking my ass so bad, I went to KUGANE TOWER to relax.

  8. I didn't like seeing that people cheated their way up by self destructing as a blue mage and having a friend raise them up past the tricky parts of the tower. I'd love it if they added no raising in addition to the already established no mounts debuff

  9. Well I started to feel silly for trying do it the "right" way and not "cheat" because there were so many players cutting corners to climb the tower. I added quotes because those sections to cut corners wouldnt be there if the game didnt mean for them to be there therefore it's not really cheating but it's close.
