...at least I can do hildibrand now

They really gave the secret boss a 1 hit ko move

It feels like they upped the drop rate for loot in the new variant though, which I'll give em props for. That or I've just been lucky.

A minion, 3 rugs and 2 umbrellas isn't bad for 10~ runs

Honestly, I'm one of the people upset abt this.

Not because it's just a facewear, but because the reward for the timesink is a facewear version of a craftable glamour item and has no real relation to the content itself.

the rewards for this new variant are just... not it

makes me not wanna even finish doing all the paths for a lowsy eyemask :/

Honestly, not a fan of what PF has been reduced to (at least on the EU Chaos side of things). It's just 18+ 24/7 venues that I truly don't get the point of... which wouldn't be bad if it was just the few, but they all have 3-4 PFs each for their venue alone.

Demographic of the game is changing ig

hes so cute

Dressed appropriately for the new event

"hey how do you come up with ocs"

I start hallucinating a guy and then I give them a name

It only took two years, I can (properly) be a silly guy now

// thank you so much to everyone who came to my little party! it was a lot of fun, though sadly I don't have any group pictures with Everyone

back to the chocobo racing grind

Erenville at a housewarming party, what he do

Stand by the beverage table and drink, obviously

a group of players surrounding a toucalibri mob

even more players gathered, the toucalibri at 36% hp just from being auto attacked by fishers

a toucalibri aggro'd a sprout so everyone started beating it up with their fishing rods #fishfest #natureartparty

a goofy looking aquamaton saying "i need pennies and old batteries for nutrience".

What a beautiful ending to the art party and fishfest as a whole...

But after 19 hours I am so ready to go to bed and pass out

Ardbert Hylfyst: Alright- this is where we can stop. Take a moment- settle in. Let me tell you a story. Ardbert Hylfyst: It’s a story of a lonely child. The only child born on an island so small, the local priest had to learn to be a teacher to make up for a lack of schools. A child of absent soldiers- raised on stories of how when family dies, they return as sharks. A child that combed the beaches and watched the hammerheads bask in the heat of the sun. Ardbert Hylfyst: Kholusia is a land forged in stories. It’s no surprise it forges people out of them, too. All it takes it stories, to fill a child’s head with dreams of a world so much bigger than he could ever imagine. Adventure- magic- you know it all, I’m sure. The dream of it all. The promise of it- a world to see, and with every step, you can promise back. To make it better with every step. Ardbert Hylfyst: That’s- the thing, about stories. They’re strong, shifting things. They’ve a power of their own. A life of their own. They live in our voices and lives like some strange sot of mirror. You can see it, here, all around you. The desperation of the people. The fear of the end. The way a hammerhead’s reincarnation becomes stained with blood.

Ardbert Hylfyst: …But- well. There’s an invisible side to it, isn’t there? There can’t be stories without voices to share them. There can’t be folklore without the folks who come back together, over and over, to tell their tales. In their darkest hour- the people told stories. Grim ones, aye- but stories, still. They breathe, they change. They’ll change again. Ardbert Hylfyst: Look, I- what I’m trying to say, anyway- is that it’s not over. That child from the island painted this world in white. His story will forever speak louder than the voice of the ghost left behind. But - here you all are. Here Kholusia is. Here are the sharks- and the blood is washing away. Ardbert Hylfyst: Last time, I asked you all to promise me something. I’m going to ask it of you again. And next time- I’ll ask it again, and again. Be there. The next time the story shifts- be there. Be there, so the next voice tells it kinder. Ardbert Hylfyst: Breathe the air. Feel the wind. It’s nice, isn’t it? How it makes the whole world feel real. Like you’re here- despite it all. So sit, for a while. Close your eyes. Let the world tell you its story.

The beautiful outro by @bravura.bsky.social's Ardbert for the #NatureArtParty at FishFest 2026.
