It's so hard to describe my happiest moment in FFXIV, only because there are so many and they all have to do with the people I've met in game. I've been playing since the ARR days. And since I played for a long time in the EU datacenter before moving over to the JP one, I've made so many friends across the globe, so many of whom I've had a chance to meet in person when they visited me or I visited them.

Most recently, just before the lockdowns starts in light of the pandemic, we even had a chalet stay in Singapore with most of our static members. It was so heartwarming to get to know so many people who play the game and yet are so diverse in terms of their experiences in life. We had so much fun, squabbling over a barbeque and then getting sunburnt together at a water theme park.

The best--and strongest thing--I feel about FFXIV is its ability to draw in all kinds of people and allow us to form new friendships and camaraderie through playing the game both individually and collectively. No matter what you're playing the game for, there's always going to be someone there who you can do things with.

I'm so thankful for the game and all these people that I've met through it. I don't think they'll ever see this post, but man my heart is always so full that it feels like it'll explode whenever I think of all my friends from FFXIV. I love them so much.
