But have you triedSkyrim?
Final Fantasy XIVis doing incredibly well for itself. So well, in fact, that it’s dealing with a huge influx of newcomers for a variety of reasons, and even hosted its own digital fan convention this past weekend:LunarCon. For a bit of fun someone decided to drop by as a certain Bethesda executive. Yep,FFXIVTodd Howard was a thing.
While a lot of folkshave recreated famous actorsin insanely detailed character creators likeBlack Desert Online, you really have to give it to this person who crafted aFFXIVTodd Howard. I mean, just look at him! The detail is pretty astounding, and they even went the extra mile as a max level (80) characternamedTodd Howard.
The best part though?According to Twitter user mirihawke, theFFXIVTodd Howard avatar was giving out faded copies of “Oblivion” to people as they were walking around. For reference, these items are orchestrion rolls: essentially “jukebox” songs to play in-game. To “unfade” them as it were, alchemists need to work a bit of crafting magic on them. It’s a multi-layered gift as it has another step involved, but the “faded” phrasing works so many levels given how oldOblivionis at this point (does your disc still work?).
If you want to try and recreate thatFFXIVTodd Howard look? As a Twitter user points out, the digs are a Calfskin Rider’s Jacket.
The wholesome nature of theFinal Fantasy XIVcommunity:“it just works!”
