Final Fantasy XIV FanFest London Changed My Life! *EMOTION WARNING* NOT CLICKBAIT!
Both the easiest and the hardest video I’ve ever made on my time on YouTube, I simply had to make this as soon as I could in order to get it out of me, and explain to you quite how profound an effect FFXIV FanFest had on me. Now I warn you, if emotion scares you, you do not want to watch this video, as there’s plenty of it, and it’s likely the most vulnerable I’ve ever been on any social platform, so please be kind, and I hope that the discoveries I’ve made about this incredible game resonate with people x
A Big Thank You to all of the Patreon patrons that enable me to keep this channel going with such fervor, I hope to make you all proud! If you’d like benefits such as a bespoke title card like the ones you’ve seen in the video, check out the link!

Your art looks amazing and I hope you continue to share it. As someone just starting my own journey as an artist your story makes me think that one day I might have the courage to share my own work. Keep up the great work!
Huhhhhhhhh I would give my eye teeth for a tenth of your talent good sir! Big hug ❤
I came across your video. I understand and feel the same, I've gotten so much from FFXIV that I can't put into words. Your art is amazing!!! You are so talented and fantastic!!! ❤ Best wishes and lots of success
Omg that needs a Mona lisa grade frame!!!!
Stoicest bri'ish gent

I dont know ya, but you seem to a lovely bean, FF14 is so special i love it to the end since i got it to know for 3 years now and all whom i got to know until now in game. I would love to be at such a Con but sadly the ticket system said F you^^ I wish you all the best on your future shenanigans and i hope to see your Art too :3 thank you very much for sharing your thoughts pats head
this video brought a smile to my face. Im happy that you had a great experience.
I'm glad you got this experience and that it's shifted your outlook, man. I know we've had chats about it and looking forward to seeing how things will go moving forward. 🙂
This !!! Is why I love this game. God bless you all 🎉
Nice art.
Good for you mate. Life is nothing without passions, and falling back in love with something so pure is one of the most healing things we can do.
sounds like you had a great time! One day I'll go to one of those cons. So excited for the FF11 cross over! We're going home!
You'll always be welcome home! ♥
As an artist who is also finding some pits I've fallen in recently, you definitely are an inspiration for me and so many others. I hope you know that it touches people thay you may never meet or see, I think that's the magic of 14. I really hope you explore drawing more for content and commissions, which it's such an amazing way to connect with people even more!
I stumbled across this video (and by extension, your channel) by pure happenstance. The sincerity and emotion you displayed in this video was resonant. I applaud your vulnerability for it. As someone who works in the gaming industry, it's difficult for me to connect with content creators, because there often seems to be an "us vs. them" mentality that causes us to lose sight of the joy and meaning we find in the games and communities we love. Your expression of appreciation for your fellow players and for the creatives behind Final Fantasy really hits home for me as well. Unity in community is so important. FFXIV is a deeply captivating and fulfilling game not only because of the emotion and energy poured into it by its creators, but also because of the excitement we players share in unfurling the treasure map that is the experience of savoring it together.
And oh my god Flow made me a WRECK at the NA Fan Festival too. A performance beautiful beyond words.
Thank you for sharing this story. Liked and subscribed—wishing you the very best from here on out. I'll be watching!
Thank you for sharing your experience if Fanfest UK! Your art is incredible! You should share it more!
I honestly love your content Joe, I've missed keeping up with your stuff since the old dffoo days. I don't play or follow ff14 cause MMOs tend to steal too much from me. But I have enjoyed your FF content. I agree that your art is impressive to say the least. Oh… lord… that moment with Mr. Sakaguchi??? I'm moved for you. What an amazing story. I'm here for it. Your work is amazing. I'm speechless at that autograph. Dear god I'd have cried like a bitch.
Amazing video, Joesephyr. Deeply enjoyed seeing you talk about your emotions regarding how this game has joined – and means so much to – so many people. Fan the flame of inspiration!
I'm relatively new to ffxiv, but I'm rooting for you!
I went to the fan fest in Las Vegas, And I totally agree with your sentiment on the hype and Meeting fellow warriors of light. Even though the venue was a little lackluster Meeting so many other players you felt in immediate connection. I was fortunate not only to meet Yoshi p and soken But they also signed my final fantasy guitar. I was also fortunate to meet Jason, koji and many More from the development team. Even though the lines were absolutely ridiculous to do anything there, And I didn't get a chance to do any of the event stuff due the overcrowding. Spending thousands of dollars to even get there and getting COVID at the con. I still wouldn't trade that experience and feeling for the world.
Our circumstances couldn't be more different, but our sentiments are identical. I was brought to tears at this fanfest (very unlike me), the passion and love in this community is priceless.
Welcome back Joe. =)
I'm crying all over the video, you are wonder worth of living life and feeling it the joy of it. I'm so happy for you 🎉❤
