So, I've chosen the Halloween costume(s) I will be wearing at various parties in #FFXIV this week!

The first one, Gatomon, is the "disguise" part. I can then "Digivolve" to the real costume, Angewomon, using a couple of emotes and spell effects as a sort of transformation sequence. Neat, eh?

"this is cringe" sure, it might be, but I'm having fun in my 30s, reclaiming the whimsy my younger self had and enjoying it in my adulthood.

find that energy, nothing's stopping you. but don't shit on people who already have it just because you haven't found yours yet.
