We are the Warriors of Light and Darkness!

On the weekend of 2nd and 3rd of February, the European FINAL FANTASY XIV FanFestival will be held in Paris and obviously I had to get tickets as well. The merch for this FanFest had to be ordered back in November/December 2018 (and I’m still waiting on it by the way).

Now the people for the Japanese FanFest did get to order their merch for the FanFest in Japan later this year. And ob boy were many of us jealous about the amazing things they will get there and we won’t. One Shirt in particularity caught my eye:

we are the warriors of light and darkness!

This shirt shows all the places this turn’s FanFestivals will be or are being held and it basically leads us into the new expansion Shadowbringers. Also it features the new job blue mage on the back, basically completes all the jobs we have in Stormblood.
And this shirt was not available for us here in Europe.

After my anger calmed down a bit I looked closer and thought that this shirt actually doesn’t look too complicated to make it my own…. It took the whole weekend but I’m happy with the result!

Sure, my designs here are NOT 100% the same! For example all the grunge textures are different as I didn’t have the exact textures available SQEX used for theirs. Also the font used is only somewhat close. If you reallllllly zoom in, you can see differences. But to me it’s close enough. The colour is also optimised for the shop I usually print my shirts.
One thing I did change on purpose is that my front side has “the whole text box” and isn’t cut at the top/ left/right. I just think it looks a lot better. Also the printing company where I usually print my shirts allows me to print a slightly larger area than what the official print would cover and it would be a waste not to go all out!

So yea, this shirt replica is being printed right now and I hope it will arrive before the FanFestival. I wonder how many people will notice that it’s not the “real deal”.

Let me know in the comments if you’re interested in me sharing a higher resolution version. Also of course the whole thing actually has transparent background as it’s entirely made with vectors 😀 Yes, I went all out 😀

Quick Update: I thought I’m gonna post bigger size pictures as well. The whole thing is made in vectors but with fonts which I cannot provide. And I’m too lazy to convert them into vectors as well ;P
So here a high resolution PNG for the front and back with transparency~

AND EVEN MORE UPDATE: The shirt I let print arrived today and I’m really happy with how it turned out. The purple is not as bright as it might could be, but still looks fine to me :3

Good Evening everyone!

Recently with all these different videos about the history of Final Fantasy XIV and why it had to become “A Realm Reborn” I checked all my old hard drives if I could find any videos from 1.x

There were thousands of screenshots but sadly not many videos. We never thought that the Eorzea we knew was going to end and vanish as it did. Now I regret not having more. But I will gladly share with you here what I have.

Starlight Celebration 2016 – scenery appreciation

From the deepest parts of my heart I want to thank the creators of the Starlight Celebration for the amazing scenery they gifted us with again this year.
I wanted to create a video that shows as many of the gorgeous places and cutest little details as possible. All the hard work that was put into this was worth it and it’s so relaxing and festive to walk through the cities and housing areas.

Thank you and happy Starlight Celebration!
