FINAL FANTASY XIV ONLINE
00:00:00
00:00:08 Hello everyone and welcome to the official Final Fantasy XIV channel for Duty Convinced. We're just going to be testing things really quick, but before we get started, let me go ahead and bring us over here. Kind of wanted to start things off with just like having the Starlight theme on loop right now. But yeah, joining us today is, yeah, right? It's like that ASMR feel like, welcome to Starlight Radio.
00:00:35 I like that. I do. We should probably give it as an idea to our content creator fellows. Starlight Radio. Hello. Hi, we're just making sure that everything sounds okay. Sorry, what were you saying, Danielle? Oh no, I was just saying hello. Okay. Hi everybody. Does everything sound okay? Everything look okay? Just making sure.
00:01:05 Happy Holidays! Happy Holidays! Merry Starlight! Merry Starlight! I like that.
00:01:15 Uh, Danielle, can you, like, exclaim again? Can you, like, go... Exclaim? Yeah, can you, like, go Bananatown, like, on your... Bananatown? Oh my gosh. People say crazy. I want to start saying Bananatown. It's funny. Yeah? I hope everyone's having a good time today. I'm sorry. I'm just trying to test if I'm too loud or too low. You're good. That sounds pretty okay, actually. Uh...
00:01:42 Sarah, can I actually have you do the same as Will? Hm? Yeah, what's up? I can do something louder if you need me to. No, no, no, no. I got it. Hold on really quick. Just gonna adjust something. Okay, can you go crazy again on...
00:02:02 Who, me? Okay, yeah. Hey, check out this jacket. Like, look, I've got both of them, both the Pan and the Samurai. Check out Insert Coin and Final Fantasy XIV's collab. Go on, everybody, go! It's a fun job. Aya's repping, like, the Square Enix colors, and she has the XIV jacket on, and then Sarah's all in there, and then I'm just like, I'm just in casual attire.
00:02:29 No, you're in Starlight attire. Starlight is casual attire. Yes, I do. So I feel like you've kind of gone above and beyond with yours. I don't know about that. For us, we were kind of just like, you know, like we got them, but then you crafted yours. You synthesized it. And I'm pretty sure it was high quality. You feel me? It was a very HQ, yeah.
00:02:56 Only comes out for special occasions. Yeah, exactly. Now, can I actually have you both meet me at the Miketo Amphitheater? I just want to make sure that everything looks and sounds okay on the other screen. Yeah. Alright. Don't look at my hotbar here. I only use that job for PvP. Somebody asked what we were doing today, by the way. So, the plan...
Starlight Seasonal Event and Crystalline Conflict Mini-Tournament
00:03:25
00:03:25 Uh, is that we're planning to do, um, the Starlight Event. The Starlight Seasonal Event to unlock something special with the Bearded Lady. And then after that, we're gonna be going into some special Starlight Events in all three of the, uh, city-states that you start in. And then, um, lastly, if we have the time, we're gonna, uh...
00:03:50 ...we can go back into Crystalline Conflict and have ourselves a little mini-tournament with us three again. Making sure Sarah can go in this time. I promise, I checked this time. I can go. Does everything look and sound okay here? Can I have you both do some skills and everything, if that's okay?
00:04:16 This is the easiest to do on White Mage, you just gotta holy. The dancer's pretty good at that too. I know, I just gotta keep dancing beside you. Does the game audio sound okay in conjunction with our voices? Is that even the right word? Conjunction? Sound levels are good? Okay, how does the game look? Is it alright? Everything look okay? Nothing? Yeah, let us know. Cool, cool, cool.
00:04:41 Alright. Sounds good, looks good, you're good, sweet. Okay. Those Hoppibs are... Don't pay attention to those. I only play Machinist inside of PvP, okay? It's okay. I may or may not have also gotten a few jobs I don't typically play ready on for PvP and then I was like, oh. Oh, I don't...
00:05:07 I have some very old hotbars set up on PvE. Oh, somebody's like, could you use some 7.0 updates? Uh, that's what FanFest in Japan is for, so... Please look forward to it. We have announcements for that if you want some 7.0 updates coming in FanFest. We have announcements that it's coming during Japan's FanFest. Mm-hmm. There you go. Please tune in. There's your update. You're welcome. Uh, happy holidays, Mary Sterling.
00:05:37 Starlight. Okay, I think that should be everything. Um, if you want to come and meet us over at Halicarnassus, um, please do so. We're currently hanging out in the Dynamis Data Center. So, um, yeah. And we have some, like, really, really cool prizes fitting for the Starlight Season. Um, we're gonna be giving away, um, not quite what Okuyomi's wearing, but something like it for today's Duty Commenced.
00:06:04 We're going to be giving away Snowman costume hats. So that's going to be pretty cool. Yeah. I think other than that, we're pretty good to go. So we're probably going to kick things off over at like 3 p.m. Pacific time. I know it's currently like 2.30ish right now. This is probably like the quickest test that we've ever done. A very quick test. Yeah, if you want to come and take like some G-Post screenshots with us, we are currently at...
00:06:33 The Dynamis Data Center at the Halicarnassus World. So please come through, join us. We'd love to have you. Bring your best Starlight gear. It doesn't even have to be, what do you call it, the latest Starlight iteration gear. You can bring whatever Starlight cheer that you want to bring. So.
00:06:53 We can't wait to see your, or maybe judge, your glance. Oh, wow. Okiyomi. I went a little cutthroat. Uh-oh. I like tea, I like glams. Uh-oh. Can you, real quick, Okiyomi, can you, like, show, can you do slash visor so everybody can see how stern you look under your snowman hat? Yes, one moment. Angry. Now visor.
00:07:24 So, yes, just know that this Makote is gonna be out here judging you. Just to impress everyone. Just to impress Okiyomi. You better come in your starlight glam. Yeah. You better watch out. You better not show up in bad glamour, because if you do, Okiyomi's gonna give you the cold shoulder. Okie. Omi's coming to town.
00:07:50 Ja, so we'll see you all in just a bit, probably about like 20 minutes, so take this time to grab a hot chocolate, a, uh, I don't know, some water, some Starlight snacks. Cookies. Um, yeah. Is Final Fantasy XIV getting another expansion? Yeah, Dom Trail. Next year, during the summer.
00:08:14 Please look forward to it. Yeah, okay. Alright, but we will see you all in just a little bit. So yeah, we'll see you soon. Thanks for helping us test things out. Bye-bye. Well, not bye-bye, but see you later. We'll see you in a bit. Yeah.
00:29:51 Hello everybody and welcome to the official Final Fantasy XIV channel. We are going to be having our last episode of Duty commenced for the year. So before we go ahead and get started, let us go ahead and introduce ourselves. If you didn't know it already, my name is Aya, also known as SciSeeker on the official forums. And I'm going to go ahead and call them off because I feel like I usually make you two scramble. But joining me is my usual co-host for these things, Danielle. Danielle, are you there?
00:30:20 I'm here, I'm here! Okay. Hello! Thanks for being here with me, as always, and of course, Sarah, are you there? Hi! Yes, I am here as well. Yay! So, we're just making sure that all of us sound alright. I know we did some testing and stuff earlier, but just making sure. Because they're both swaying, I want to sway too. I know, I know! I saw it, I was like, oh, Sarah's swaying with me, we're gonna... Do we need a hum?
00:30:50 Do we need to do the hum-emote? Do we need to do the hum-emote? I mean, it's up to you guys. But, um... I feel like... Can you all hear us okay? Wait. Just making sure. Testing one, two. Yep, one, two. Everyone looks like they're unmuted, so just making sure. Okay, cool, cool, cool. Can you hear? Sounds good. How does everything look? Does everything look okay, too? We're just making sure. Ahem.
00:31:17 Danielle's peeking on her mic a bit. What? Oh no. Oh no. It was a speedrun for it, too, and we were all good. Is it really peeking? I got a small fix. Hopefully that works. Can you guys talk again, please? One, two, three, four, five. Go crazy.
00:31:44 Ich denke, das ist besser. Aber einfach so ihr wisst, ihr könnt so schnell wie wild auf die Mikrofonen gehen. Es ist nicht gonna hurt mich, aber ich habe sicher, dass es nicht gonna hurt anybody else ist. So, go crazy, scream as loud as you want. Ja, das macht es sicher. All right, cool. Ich denke, wir gehen und beginnen. Aber wenn ihr wollt, wir gehen uns, wir geben euch einen kurzen Überblick über was wir planen zu machen. Um, ich weiß, dass ich, erst mal, ich möchte, das Disclaimer, direkt weggeben.
00:32:12 So, if you...
Starlight Dash Event Details
00:32:39
00:32:39 If you have a North American account, this is a giveaway for you. But we wanted to give something to you all that's kind of related to the Starlight holiday season. So just making sure you're all aware of that. But then moving on to what we're going to be doing today. We actually did something like this a couple... I want to say a few, actually. A few years back, Okuyomi devised this amazing Starlight Dash event. It's not quite a Chocobo race, but it's kind of just like...
00:33:08 We set up a course for everybody to run, and we're probably gonna go ahead and do that today. Do you think we should start? Yeah, we have what? Well, this year, Sarah gotta do some of the courses, too. So we have some really good courses in store. Yeah, and back then we only had one course, but how many do we have this time? Cool. Sarah, how many do we have? We have...
00:33:37 Das ist richtig, drei Kursen. Und wir werden euch alle einen Aufmerksamkeit geben. Dancers und Bards haben einen Weg in den Runden. Ja, das stimmt. Oder wir haben auch andere Techniken, wie Dragoons, ihre Elusive Jumps. Also, Ninjas, ihre Traveling Abilities. Ja, wir hatten das letzte Mal. Wir haben es nicht erwartet. Wir haben es nicht.
00:34:01 We do actually have some rules that we're going to be implementing this time to make sure there's no foul play. Obviously, you can't use your chocobo for this race. This is not a chocobo race. If you do want to go do some chocobo races with your homies, head on over to the Gold Saucer. That's all for y'all over there. But this is just specifically who can maneuver the best. There's no jumping or anything like that, so don't worry about that.
00:34:30 We're gonna be holding these over at, um... We're gonna be holding them at the City-State, so everybody at this point should be able to enter, and we kinda have been giving away these, like, really cool wrapped presents to everybody who ends up joining our parties and stuff, so we're actually gonna be giving those away, but not only that, we're gonna be giving away one present to everybody that happens to get into my party, and then on top of that, if you happen to be able to win the race, you get an additional two presents.
00:34:59 Ich weiß nicht, aber ich freue mich über das. Und so ihr wisst, und das ist schon schon aus, von früheren Streams und alles, schon schon. Aber in diesen Wrapped Presents, da gibt es die Prizes von der FFXIV Online-Store. Wir haben Job Skips, oder? Retainer Skips? Retainer Skips.
00:35:26 Das stimmt. Das ist wie ich es. Und wenn ich es, wenn ich es richtig...
00:35:55 You gotta be right! I don't say things right. Spoiler alert. I think it is right, though. Yes, it is. I hope so. But now we need to make sure that everybody who is participating in all these events today, make sure you are on the Harlecanassus world. Otherwise, we cannot award you with your presence and all that stuff. So yeah, just please make sure to keep that in mind. I think other than that, we're...
00:36:24 Pretty good to start, yeah? Yeah. Well, we should probably get some screenshots, because there are a ton of players here waiting on the Halicarnasus world. Let's have a look. Wow, there's a lot. Oh my gosh. There is a lot. And I do see some people in chat while we were kind of going over what our plans were for today. We are on the Halicarnasus world, as Aya said, but you are just coming in.
00:36:50 Head all over to the Dynamis Data Center if you're on North American Worlds. Come visit us. We're gonna take some screenshots, but if you wanna participate in that race, get ready. Yep. Should we actually start things off in Gridania? Oh, we should. Yeah, doesn't that sound good? But we should... We'll wait like about 30 seconds before we start getting into G-Pose and stuff like that. And I'm really liking the colors I'm seeing. Seeing some red and some green.
00:37:19 Let me see if I can do a countdown. 30? There we go. 30 seconds. 30 seconds. Perfect. That's good. That's a good idea. I hope we do start the races in Gridania. That's my favorite map that I... Sarah had like... I feel like I left one day and I came back and she was like, here's like six maps free. Let's go. What is your feedback? Here you go.
00:37:46 Do we get rewards? Yes. We mentioned before what they will be. I can go ahead and show you what it is in my inventory real quick. Hopefully you won't yell at me for how awkward my stuff is. But yeah, this is what we're going to be giving away. We have a bunch of wrap presents that we're going to be able to give to all of you. It's a special gift from someone or from a special someone.
00:38:10 Um, so this has a chance of giving you some FFXIV online store items, so please make sure that you all keep that in mind. But also, in order to participate in these races, you will have to be, oh, I forgot, I'm gonna give you lead, Ophiomi. Uh, sure, yeah, uh, you can give me lead, although I will, I think, hmm. You'll be shifting it to me after, afterwards. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I can't set it up.
00:38:39 Okay, so we're gonna go ahead and take some Gpost screenshots real quick. Just making sure everybody is well on their way.
00:39:03 We could have... Oh, okay. Wow, yeah, this is pretty good. We could have the, uh, the ones that are facing not towards the camera turn towards the camera. That'd be great.
00:39:18 I love everyone. I've been waiting for him to turn around. Yeah, I was just like... I see so much red, I see so much green, and then there's me in blue with a snowman. Yeah. It's funny. Alright. You're so festive. Very.
00:39:39 Ich liebe Starlight. Es ist so gut. All right. Ja, wenn du alt bist, geht nach hinten, wenn das cool ist. Das ist nicht so, dass die Lollifels sind. Da muss ich die Lollifels sein. Hier ist ein großartiges... Ich werde aufhören, weil wir so viele Leute hier haben. Oh, true. Oh, right, yes. Das ist gut.
00:40:09 Oh, I already see a lot of players in the new attire, too. So that's really cool. All right. I'm going to go ahead and take a few screenshots. Oh, I've gotten quite a few already. Are you getting some, too, Sarah? Mm-hmm, I am.
00:40:30 I love this. So festive, everyone! Sharing the starlight cheer! I like these ones where we're in the crowd and taking some. I like them a lot. They seem very festive. That's so good. Okay, cool. Alright, I got a few.
00:40:55 Ja, ich habe auch noch einen. Ja, wir sind einfach nur sicher. Danke, alle.
00:41:09 Alright, so shall we go ahead and set up our courses real quick? I made sure to get everything. Sure. Yeah, I think myself, if you want to stay right here just for a second, I think me and Sarah can go set the courses really quick. We'll start in Bent Branch. Okay, sounds good. Let's go over. We'll set up the courses. But...
Ablauf des Starlight Dash Events
00:41:34
00:41:34 So I see her if you wanna do you want to wait to go over until we get that the Waymark set up? Yeah, so while you are both doing that I was actually gonna present everybody with the courses that they're gonna be following. Yeah, so alright, so for the first one we're gonna be heading towards Central Shroud. So I'm gonna actually take this and make it a little bit bigger just so everybody can go ahead and see. Yeah, here we go. So this is where it's gonna be taking place.
00:42:02 So the objective of this activity that we have planned for everybody today is that players must begin at the starting line designated by the race host, that's us, and physically touch point A, B, C, and D in order before tagging the finish line. No mounts, players must walk, run, or sprint throughout the race. Jumping, job changing, and use of job abilities are okay.
00:42:28 There are no mounts allowed in this contest, so please make sure you keep that in mind. But yeah, so this is going to be really fun, really awesome. So if you want to come and participate, please make sure that you are on the Halicarnassus World with us here over at the Dynamis Data Center. I was about to say a different data center. Yeah, so...
00:42:54 What if you get lost? I'm always going to have this map up right here, so hopefully you do your best in terms of navigation, because otherwise you may not make it. Job actions are okay? Yes, that is correct. We have waypoints, so you can always, those will show up on your map, because you will be in, if you're racing, you'll be in Psyseeker's Party.
00:43:19 So we do have to take a limited amount. That's more just so we can view, you know, as the race progress. Yeah, we're taking seven participants per race. So for the first one, we're going to be taking our first seven. And then after that race is done, we're going to take another one. And then we're going to be switching over to, we'll probably have all of you pick, whether it's going to be at Uldah next or at Limsa Lominsa. So, Lanalan and LaNosha, right?
00:43:47 Those are the two next steps that we have, other than the Shroud, of course. Also, please make sure that you can follow along with everybody else during this race. That's completely fine, but the only people that we will be awarding are the ones that make it into my party. So keep that in mind. Just making sure.
00:44:11 Ja. Ich denke, wir brauchen mehr Wehmark. Ich werde es jetzt. Ja, keine Worte.
00:44:21 Ich denke, Sarah. Aber ich werde Sarah place es, weil das ist, was sie ist. Ich brauche das. Nein, diese sind sehr gut. Ich liebe die Routes, die du mit diesen Routen bist. Ich habe sichergestellt, um alle, um alle, um zu machen, um zu machen, um zu machen, um zu machen, um zu machen, um zu machen, um zu machen, um zu machen, um zu machen. Also, ja. All right, ich denke, wir sind alle, um, unsere Weimarks zu machen. Sorry, sorry, um zu machen. All right.
00:44:52 Okay, so we got this all set up. This is going to stay here, as I said. I think we're gonna go ahead and teleport over to Bentenbratch Meadows, is that correct? Mhm. And then we'll have to fly over, but if you want to get the contestants in your party, we can drop right now. Here, I'm gonna pass you later. Okay.
00:45:12 I might have to go ahead and make the PF really quick, but I will go ahead and do that. Let me go ahead and while I'm setting this up, there's like no way I could hide it, so I'm switching us back to this screen. Please make sure that you all, I know I hear all the noises and stuff going on, but please bear with us. Yes, if you would like to join us, we're going to be making a private party and recruiting, limit recruiting to a world server.
00:45:38 Um, so our first... I'm gonna go ahead and set up this password. Alright. Okay. Sarah, is there any place in particular? I'm gonna go to the finish line so I can help my secret. Make sure who gets that winning person. I'll probably hang around CD. Okay, cool.
00:46:04 Oh, so we're starting things around Hawk Manor, right? So, if I'm understanding that correctly off this math. Alright. Okay, so your first code will be 7324. 7324. 7324.
00:46:27 All right, so now that we have our party ready to go, I'm gonna go ahead and head over to the starting line, and then I'm just gonna go ahead and do a quick overview of the course that you will all be taking. So let me just hop on my chocobo. How are cars supposed to be ready? They all joined your party so fast. They were so fast. Yeah, so if you could see where all of this is, there is the B-Way marker.
00:46:56 Ich bin jetzt sicher, dass ich das so schnell wie ich kann, um den Weg zu zeigen, um den Weg zu zeigen. So, jetzt gehen wir zum Schluss, ich meine, der Start-Line. Ich wollte es sagen, die Finish-Line. Ich bin bereit. Ja, ich bin bereit.
00:47:17 Okay. Oh, everybody went to Hawk Manor, too? Okay. They were like, they saw the map and they were like, I'm ready. They're like, we're going, we're going. Okay, so if it's okay, can I please have my contestants all line up towards here, please? All line up towards here. Put your hand on that wall. Oh, true, yeah. We'll have everybody, like, just among the one and two parts, actually. I think that'd be pretty good.
00:47:43 Okay, but yeah, let me go ahead and distribute all of our presents. First and foremost, that's me. I do not need a present. Here you go. I love your outfit. There you go. Merry Starlight. Good luck. Good luck to all our participants.
00:48:05 Merry Starlight. Okay, remember, if you win this race, Chad, remember if you win, you'll get an additional two presents. Alright. Just making sure I don't accidentally trade all 90-something presents. That would be very tragic. Okay.
00:48:37 Okay, and then our last one. Okay. Alright, so you all see the route on your maps, right? Everybody have their map up, you can see the way markers and everything. Yep, and everyone who is in the current participating party, you should be able to see the way markers as well.
00:48:58 Remember, you're going to be making your way all the way over to where I believe the yacht is towards the Lavender Bits, correct? Mm-hmm. All right. The mirror planks. All right. So can I have all of my participants up against the wall, please? And thank you. I'm going to go ahead and hop on my chocobo just to make sure that there is making sure that nobody is doing anything.
00:49:23 You can do a countdown, too. Yeah, I will definitely do a countdown. I'll do a 10. I'll do a 10. How's that sound? Sounds good. Yeah, all right. I can't wait to see the strategies we're going to have. I hope everyone's ready. Yeah, the way I'll be denoting everybody is by their titles. So we have... Let's go down the line, shall we? We have the perfect legend, also the returned, and also Shadowbringer. Also our... Oh, let's call you...
00:49:52 Anonymous Traveler. And then we'll also call you the Makai Bard. And then the Storm Puppy. And lastly, the Special Advisor. Alright, so contestants, are you ready? Can I change mid-job race? Yes, you can very much change in the middle of the race. Alright, let me go ahead and hop on my mount. I want the one that's like the least intrusive to the view.
00:50:19 Just so everybody knows. Remember, we'll be looking out for foul play and everything. But I think we're just about ready. So I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to start right here. I'm going to be trailing everybody. But here we go. Let's go, let's go. Let's do countdown. Let's do 10 seconds. Alright, here we go. First race of the eating. 2, 1, GO!
Erstes Rennen im Shroud und Strategien
00:50:52
00:50:52 Oh, they're going. Oh my god, Shadowbringer is in the lead, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, and they are off. Out of the gates. Oh, okay. Shadowbringer switch. Oh my goodness. Look at this tech. Wow. Oh, but slowly but surely the perfect legend is behind. Okay, and we're coming up on our first way marker here. Oh, some people were cutting corners just to make sure that they have an edge. Let's see.
00:51:20 The return, okay. And then now we're heading towards Waymarker B. Remember, jumping is permitted and all that. So please, please, please make sure that you are able to do what you are trying to do. This is hard to keep up with. Honestly, like truly.
00:51:39 Am I, like, leading you all astray? What are they going to do? I can't wait to see this. I don't know. What are you going to do with my favorite part of this course? Oh, okay, yeah, I'm very curious. Let's see what our contestants will be doing. Some just dropped. Some people dropped. Oh, no, you're going to have to come back. Otherwise, it's not going to count. You have to touch it. So far, the only person that touched it is the returned that I confirmed.
00:52:09 Got to make sure to touch it. It's the way mark. Alright, but so far we have the return who is on a very, very convincing lead. Coming around the corner, no stranger to danger. Oh. They already have the lead, but they're just like, nah, I'm going to try to get this lead as best as I can. Touching the third way marker. And now heading towards D. Oh, let's go.
00:52:41 Das waren wirklich wirklich RISKY-JUPS. Ja, es war gut. Man, Sarah wirklich... Ich weiß, dass ihr alle... Ich weiß, dass ihr alle work für es. Oh man, aber da ist jemand, der kommt.
00:52:59 Oh, okay. And the Returned? Alright, and now they, it seems like they have sprinted, so now they're making their way over to the finish line. The Returned is gonna be making sure that there are...
00:53:16 No other contestants that are going to return from the lead that they got. Oh, and here we go. Oh, here we go. And the return has won. Congratulations. Allow me to go ahead and give you two additional gifts. Congratulations. The contestants are coming up. They're coming up.
00:53:38 I'm shaking. Congratulations. Can we get a screenshot with all the participants? Yeah, that'd be great. And all of our fans are here, too. I would love to see... Psyseeker should be able to hide everyone else. Yes, I can. As long as... Let's try to get it towards... Let's go into the gazebo. We'll call this the winner's gazebo. The winner's gazebo. I like that. Yeah, so we can have all of our contestants, if you could please join us here. That'd be great.
00:54:07 Das wäre fantastisch. Congrats to everyone! Yay! That was really fun. Congratulations, everybody. I'm gonna be in the back just to make sure I'm not, like, encroaching. No, someone was just like, I jumped down. That was a mistake. I'm like, no, that was a legit strategy, right? What were you gonna say? Sorry, Danielle.
00:54:29 Oh, no, I was just gonna say, while you're taking that screenshot, we saw some interesting... It's funny, because we kind of expected to see some job changes. I know that was something we were not expecting back in 2021. And me and Saizia were like, oh, no, people are really going hard at this. Right, like, already from the start, it was insane, because, like...
00:54:52 Let me go ahead and make sure. The Dancer dashed off, and then they switched to Reaper. Yeah, I was just like, they're really doing their best to make sure. Yeah, we love seeing that too. We love seeing that creativity. I know when we first planned it, we never expected that. And then we saw people were like, oh, it's on. We knew this here. We knew. We knew. Yeah, let's go ahead.

00:55:32 Wo waren die Shikuchi und die Dragoon? Ich weiß nicht! Ich meine, eigentlich, jeder kann alles versuchen zu tun, was ich meine? Oh, lass mich meine Emote wirklich schnell zu Tee-Time, weil ich immer meine Tee-Time liebe. Hier, ich will copy. Ich will also... Alright.
00:55:57 All right, and then hiding minions as well. Let's hide the choke people really quick. And then, you know what, Sarah, let's go set up the next... Oh, no, no, no, we're having one more race here. Oh, okay. You want to have one more race? Okay, okay. Oh, no, the Lola fell crying. It's okay, you did your best. Everyone did a really good job. Yeah, for real.
00:56:27 Ich hoffe, dass ich das habe. Sorry, sorry, ich weiß, dass es ein bisschen dauert.
00:56:39 Always so fascinated with how fast you can pose everyone, Slayseeker. I'm just making sure everybody looks alright. Everybody looks alright here, so I'm just making sure I get their emotes as well. He looks cool. I'll have the Lala going. Yay! Okay, cool.

00:57:22 Okay, all right, I'm gonna zoom in a little bit, tilt it, just for some of the dramatic effect, making sure everybody's face is shown as best as I can. All right, and here we go.
00:57:39 I think I got it. Alright, so now I'm going to individually... I'm going to have to individually kick each person. Please don't take any offense to this. I think you can. Oh. Yeah, because if I disband, we're going to lose the weight marker. No, no, you should keep it. You should keep it. You'll keep them. No, no, you can disband. Oh. You can.
00:58:04 Okay, and if it doesn't work for you, just look at the way marks right there, just disband. And if it doesn't, I'll invite you. Oh, no, no, I still got them. We're good. Yeah, yeah. They stay. Cool. All right. We just did this yesterday. Nice, nice, nice. Okay, I'm going to go ahead and go back to this camera screen so I can go ahead and set up the next Party Finder. Sure. So bear with us just for a little bit. The next code to join us here for the Starlight Dash in the Shroud is...
Zweites Rennen im Shroud und Hinweise für die Teilnehmer
00:58:32
00:58:32 Es ist 6188. 6188. 6188. Es ist in der private. Okay. Also, just keep in mind. Also, just keep in mind. If you were in the race previously already. Please make sure to give a shot to everybody else. We want to make sure that everybody can participate.
00:59:02 I was bracing myself for your announcer voice. Oh, sorry. I was waiting for it. Sarah knew. Was it that? 6188. Sorry, I'll do it for the next one. I'm so sorry. I was in a rush. No, no, you're good.
00:59:24 All right. Just making sure we have this pathway. I feel like I kind of deterred everybody from the path that they should have been taking. And I was just like, ooh, that's kind of my bad. They know this time if they were watching. We'll see what happens. Everyone's going to try and make that jump. All right.
00:59:46 I think I'm going to camp out by the tree just to watch that. Yes, go. Please do. Please do. I was just making sure there wasn't any foul play. It all dropped. And I'm mostly keeping track of the one that's in the lead. But please make sure that you do go up there and make sure to hit everything. I think especially at that point where some people were jumping off. Is it okay if I ask one of you, Meenarine, or...
01:00:15 Sarah's gonna be there. I'll be here. I'll be up here. The hard checkpoint. Alright.
01:00:26 This is really cool, and I'm really happy that we have something else to give everybody for these races now, because back then we didn't have these wrapped presents, so. Yeah. I'm wondering if there's anybody that's like defending champion, remember? Like, because we had like a few of those races. You know, I can probably, I believe we...
01:00:47 We tweeted out the winners. I would have to double check. So we might be able to. But I think we tweeted out their... Not their names. Maybe their titles. So there might be some discrepancy. But I can double... We can check. We can check our archives. We might have them. Okay. So pretty cool. Once the cameras are off, it's off to look at the book. Yeah. The Returned won this previous one. Uh-huh.
01:01:14 Okay, okay, I have their names. Yeah, I'm docking them. Okay. Our winners will go down in history. I'll save it this year if we can't find next year that we can compare. Sounds good. Making sure I give everybody their presents. Oh, excuse me. Oh, someone in the chat is asking about the samurai jacket. Yes, it is the insert coin Final Fantasy XIV.
01:01:41 Online Collaboration jacket, it's really comfy. If you've had the Paladin jacket before, it's really cool. Also, I love the inside pocket. I was just going to say, because I have the Paladin jacket, but I don't have the Samurai one. And I wanted to ask you about that pocket, because I don't believe the Paladin one has that. It has the outside pockets, but not the inside one. No, it does. It does. Really? Wait. The Paladin one does? Yeah.
01:02:10 I think next Duty Commence we might need to look at this because I think I've never known that. Oh no. You learn something new every day.
01:02:25 All right, I'm gonna have the racers now line up against the wall, please. The wall or the door. We're just making sure everybody is ready to go. Everybody. All right, so now let's go down the line. Let's see who we have. The Light of the Lands and of the Silver Lining. Don't tell everybody, but you're my favorite. Satan of the Firmament. The Ultimate Legend. We also have the Tinker Tooter. That's fun.
01:02:54 The Unbeliever. And lastly, Perfect Blue. Alright, so now. Are skills allowed? Yes, so is Job Changing. Just no mounts. Or Teleportation Rings. Okay, none of that either. Technically, we didn't claim that, but now that you've claimed that, I was curious if you would see someone. No Teleportation Rings. We know that some of you really want your...

Zweites Rennen im Shroud: Strategien und Zieleinlauf
01:04:08
01:04:08 All right, we're coming up towards our first one. Oh, this music is helping a lot, too, actually. Ooh, the Unbeliever took the lead. Let's go. Here's our first marker. And it looks like... Ooh, okay. Okay, there's a lot going on. Okay, but the Unbeliever took a different path. Let's go. I'm gonna make sure I get, like, a little bit of a head start towards B.
01:04:35 This is the tricky one. This is the one that Meanerine's watching. So please make sure that you are aware. Alright, let's see what the tech is. What's it gonna be? What's it gonna be? Oh, here they come! Oh no! Perfect blue! Oh wait, no! They made it! They made it!
01:04:59 Ich habe die Branche! Oh nein, aber die Unbeliever? Also? Oh mein Gott. Let's go? Neck in Neck. Das ist so exciting. Oh mein Gott. Ich weiß nicht, ob es ein Strat hier ist, wo man auf den Rocken geht. Wir sehen. Possibly. Ich weiß nicht, dass jemand das approach hat, aber wir kommen auf unsere 3rd Checkpoint jetzt.
01:05:29 So far, who do we have? Who do we have? Who's it gonna be? The light of the land takes the lead? Okay. Now our fourth checkpoint is just down over here. Wait, am I going the wrong way? I think I'm going the wrong way. I let everybody astray again. I'm so sorry. This is the last one, and then it's like a straight shot, basically. Down to the docks. You could even see the way markers from here.
01:06:00 I got an achievement. Who's in the lead? Looks like perfect blue is. Just a very short one of the silver lining. Oh my gosh. Let's go. Just a straight shot from here.
01:06:22 Oh my god, I can't. I can't. I can't. I'm just going to wait right here so I can make sure I clock it. Perfect blue! Perfect blue! Congratulations! Let's go! Oh, let me go ahead and give you your presents.
01:06:43 So close. Congratulations. All right, let's go over to the gazebo to take some screenshots. But good hustle, everybody. That one was close. My heart was beating. I was terrified for how that was going to turn out, but really, really awesome effort. So lucky I didn't fall off that branch. So while you get these screenshots, if you don't mind, me and Sarah are going to go set up the other one. But can we ask the Ques chat?
01:07:12 Which they would like to do next? Uldah or Limsa Lomensa? Oh, yes, Chad. Which course do you want to see next? Uldah. I see Uldah. I see Uldah. I see Uldah. Now I'm saying Limsa, but mostly Uldah. So let's just go to Uldah. Let's do Uldah. All right. All right. Me and Sarah will go set this up while we get the winners together. All right.
01:07:39 So, let's have all of our contestants up here, just making sure everybody is here. Alright. This is so cool. I'm so happy that we're doing this again. A lot of fun.
01:07:59 All right. We'll have to maybe in the future pull Voltanine back to do our scavenger hunt puzzle. Oh, yeah. That was a lot of fun, too. But I feel like everybody got those immediately. It was wild. There was one that was a little tricky. Yeah, that's true. We'll have to find more that are like that. I like these because we get to do more than just the usual kind of content, you know? Oh, that's why they move.
01:08:28 Ich verstehe. Ich muss mich feststellen, dass ich sie vor dem, wenn ich sie rauskomme. Oh! Okay.
01:09:00 I'm trying to position these waymarks. And I'm just like, okay, they need to be perfectly on the line just for me. Okay. All right. Wow. The composition for this one is pretty good too. Everybody is so well placed.
01:09:31 All right, just making sure I got everybody. Actually, let me add some lights to the back row just to make sure. Perfect. Look at that. Perfect. Okay. And let me take one more.
01:09:49 All right. Congratulations. Okay. So with that, I'm going to go ahead and disband. Thank you everybody so much for racing the Shroud Course with us this evening. And Merry Starlight. All right. I'm going to be heading over to all of you in just a little bit. Why don't you head over to the Gates of Thal? That's where the start's going to be, and we'll invite you in one moment. Gotcha. All right. So while they're still setting that up, I'm just going to go ahead and go over the course really quick, if that's okay.
Ankündigung des Rennens in Central Thanalan
01:10:19
01:10:19 So here is the Starlight Dash in Central Thanalan. I believe that's toward the Goblin? Am I wrong? I feel like I'm wrong. Never mind. Don't listen to me. It's towards Western Thanalan. Okay, Western Thanalan. Gotcha. All right. So this is taking place in Central Thanalan.
01:10:42 All right, and then we're going to be starting near Ulda. Gotcha, gotcha. Yeah, the Gates of Sol, and then I can invite you as well. However, I do need you to drop Busy Status first. Oh, so sorry. Oh, you're good. All right. Once you can confirm on your map that everything, you can see the markers, I'll drop. Let me go ahead and check. Okay, starting at the steps of, yep.
01:11:12 Ja. Oh, they got to kind of do like a loop D. A loop D, yeah. So it's A. Oh my gosh, where's B? Am I blind? Oh, I see it, I see it, I see it. Oh no, I readjusted B because you couldn't quite see it in the overworld, but you can see it on the map, so I adjusted it just a little bit. Make it sure, gotcha, gotcha. Thank you.
01:11:38 All right, so this is going to be the course. It's going to be starting at the Gate of Thal, or the Steps of Thal. And then you're going to be moving towards the Ulda Royal Set Dispatch Yard. And then over to Teska's Watch. Over to the Black Crush Station. And then the Rat's Nest. And then going to be ending towards the entry into Western Thanalan. All right.
01:12:05 Let's go ahead and make our way over there. Okay. Let's go, let's go. Alright, so I'm gonna keep up that course just a little bit. Once I get to the start line, I'm gonna go ahead and minimize it and put it in the corner. Yeah. You know what I just realized? We haven't done the Starlight Event itself yet.
01:12:32 Das ist ein Starlight Event. Das ist ein Starlight Event. Starlight Dash! Starlight Dash! Gotta go. Oh, ich sehe Chat, der erste Mal macht die Starlight in diesem Spiel. Oh, danke für uns.
01:12:51 All right, so we're going to be starting off right here. I think behind the waymarks would be good where I'm at. Well, actually, I don't want everybody to go right towards the line because I don't want them to accidentally go in. Yeah. And then can we actually have the Starlight Dash map off just a little bit? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I was going to do. But let me just get everybody into the party first. Whoops. Okay. All right, here we go. Here we go. Here we go.
01:13:19 Starlight Celebration. Das ist richtig. Ich werde das mal richtig feststellen. Und jetzt, Ihr Code, meine Damen und Herren, wird es 9342. 9342. 9342.
01:13:48 Alright, that was pretty quick. Everyone wants those presents. For sure. Alright. So making sure this is off and to the side. Making sure we got it well enough. Let me actually make this a tad smaller just so that there's more real estate on the screen showing up. Alright. Okay.
01:14:11 So can I have everybody in a line, please? That'd be great. Or you could stack up together, just making sure everybody is behind the markers right here where I'm at. But let me go ahead and trade some gifts to y'all real quick.
01:14:40 I like your cosplay. Everyone has come out with some really nice Slimers and especially been very festive. Alright, just making sure I'm getting everybody as needed.
01:15:04 And I see Chat asking, are the screenshots that you take posted somewhere? Yes, they are posted on our social channels for Final Fantasy XIV. So please look forward to seeing them on the Final Fantasy XIV Twitter and Facebook after the show is over. Just give us a little bit of time, though, because we want to make sure we get them and compile them and then get them out. Yep, yep. All right. Can I have all my contestants line up what's called in a line, please? Just making sure everybody has as fair as we can make it.
01:15:34 Um, I'm gonna go ahead and hop on my mountain. We're gonna get this race started in just a little bit. Yeah. Alright, I'm gonna, like, fly just to make sure I can go a little bit faster. Okay, let me go ahead and ready check just to make sure all of our contestants are ready.
01:15:51 All right. Let's go. If you don't mind us asking, are they all on Dancer right now? No, we have one person that's on Monk, actually. One person that's on... Oh, you know the Monk in Thunderclap. That's a strat. It's a strat. But here we go. I'm going to go ahead and do the countdown. Here we go. Thunderclap tech. I never would have seen it coming.
Rennen in Central Thanalan: Strategien und Gewinner
01:16:28
01:16:28 Oh, our first one is up. Oh, okay. Some of them are cutting through. Some of them were following me. I'm so sorry if you ended up following me. Gotta use your map. Oh, I totally did not. Oh, okay. Barista at the end of the universe is coming in hot towards our first checkpoint. First checkpoint. And cleared. All right. All right. And then let's make sure. Did someone just kill one of your hunt moms? Or your kill pest moms?
01:16:57 Oh, this one is like up straight towards the track. So far, Barista at the end of the universe is making sure that they get to the end of the finish line, if you know what I mean. Wow. Very nice stride. Gotta make sure you make it.
01:17:18 That's super funny. Thank you. You don't have to do that, but thank you. I appreciate you going for my hunting log stuff. All right. Now we're going through. Very nice. And I think our next checkpoint is Black Brush Station. Let's see who's coming out in the lead. And it looks like the barista at the end of the universe is still taking the lead. Very nice. Good hustle.
01:17:48 I kind of want all the contestants to be like chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga-choo-choo. We're right at the end of the universe. They're honestly like making a pathway of destruction as they make their way to the finish line. They're just like get out of my way just to like random mops. It's just like what do they do? Are they jumping to them though? Yes, they are. Oh, what's up? Are they setting light?
01:18:14 I'm trying to see if they're just doing it. Look, they're jumping. They're using all of the monsters as a form of travel. That's very smart. Very, very smart. And here we go. D has been checked. Ooh, they went down. They're clever. They didn't fall for going back up there. All right. And it looks like it's a pretty convincing win over for the Barista at the end of the universe, but we'll see.
01:18:44 They're making their way through. Making sure to Kasatsu to load up that next one.
01:18:51 And it looks like the Barista at the end of the universe has taken this one, everybody. Let me go ahead and award you with your... That was a super good strat we saw. Yeah, we'll give it a few minutes just to make sure that the mobs can spawn back in case anybody decides to do that. We've never seen that before on the Starlight Dash. That's the Starlight Dash shirt.
01:19:15 Okay, I'm trying to find a place where we can have a screenshot together. Maybe by this cactus? I'm trying to find markers that are very specific to where they're doing their courses and stuff. Yeah, let's take it back. That cactus is a good one. Yeah, alright. That was good. Alright. Let's have all of our contestants take a screenshot if you would like to.
01:19:42 Ich werde ein Cheer emote machen. Ich habe nicht die Monster als eine Springboarden auf meinem Bingo Card für heute.
01:19:55 Now you can check it off right before 2024. You know, some people were coming out here with some really crazy jobs. I was just like, Monk, what can Monk do? And I was just like, Thunderclap, actually. Can you use Thunderclap to get to monsters also? I'm just saying. I'm just throwing ideas out there. All right. I love how it evolves, too. Sometimes we'll see. I feel like back when we did this the last time, we had one person.
01:20:23 Und dann haben wir gesagt, oh mein Gott, wir können es. Und dann haben wir gesagt, ja. Und dann haben wir gesagt, ja. Und dann haben wir gesagt, ja. Und dann haben wir gesagt, ja. Und dann haben wir gesagt, ja. Und dann haben wir gesagt, ja. Und dann haben wir gesagt, ja. Und dann haben wir gesagt, ja. Und dann haben wir gesagt, ja. Und dann haben wir gesagt, ja. Und dann haben wir gesagt, ja. Und dann haben wir gesagt, ja. Und dann haben wir gesagt, ja. Und dann haben wir gesagt, ja. Und dann haben wir gesagt, ja. Und dann haben wir gesagt, ja. Und dann haben wir gesagt, ja.
01:20:51 But I think that's just about it, right? I really like the place that you chose because Chat thinks it's now the... They have deemed it the Starlight Cactus. The winner's cactus. The winner's Starlight Cactus. Yeah, that's cute. I like that.
01:21:15 All right. You know, we should have been timing this, too. I see that chat. Like, we should have... We have to have, like, speedruns on this. We should. All right. Let me take a few pictures real quick. Here we got everybody. All right. The VOD can show the time. True. True, true, true.
01:21:39 Okay, that is it for us, racers. Thank you so much. You said it's okay to disband, right? So I'm going to go ahead and try that. If they get disappeared, we have them saved too. So just let us know. Okay. All right. And then actually, SciSeeker, if you wouldn't mind, someone from chat was actually, there's a few people asking if we could make the map just a teeny tiny bit smaller so they can see the start of the race. How's that? Is that okay?
01:22:08 I'll just wait till we see what chat says so we can make sure. Yeah. You're giving us notes for the future. Mm-hmm. What's up? Oh, no, we can see. If you wanted to grab the party, too, as long as your map is all good. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Just making sure it looks all right with everybody in chat. Yeah. All good. All good.
01:22:38 Job Mastery, das ist eine andere Final Fantasy MMO. Oh, willst du uns die GIFs open und sagen was wir bekommen? Du könnt! Oder du könntest du es dir selbst. Es ist für dich. Wenn du etwas wirklich cool hast, ist es gut. Du könntest uns wissen. Aber ich denke, niemand ist darüber nachdenken.
01:22:59 All right. All right. Just making sure. Snap looking good. Cool, cool, cool. Thank you. All right. Now we're going to get ready to load in our next contestants for the Starlight Dash. And we have one seven. Oh, whoops. I didn't even... I said numbers.
01:23:23 I'm actually, well, I kind of, Perfect Blue, I'm trying to go through the winners we have so far, so it'll be interesting to see the titles that everyone held for our winners. We have The Returns, Perfect Blue, and Barista at the End of the Universe. Very nice. All right. Okay, so our code for getting into this race is 1742.
01:23:52 1742. 1742. I will see you all at the... Ooh, some are already there. I'm on my way. They're ready. Remember, everybody, that the rules are as follows. No mounts. No use of teleportation rings. Even though I know you want your special significant others to be part of it.
01:24:21 What else did I say? There's job changing that's available for you to use. Job actions, as you just saw, are still possible for you to use. And making sure to hit every single way marker on your way over there is key. It is pinnacle to the success of you winning this race. So please just keep that in mind. Yeah. All right.
01:24:48 Making sure everybody's all good. I think we are.
01:24:54 Some of our contestants already flustered for just their participation, but please make sure to use that and instill yourself with that confidence to make it to the finish line. You never know. It could be you. What is our party composition like this time around to start with? There's a white mage that's chilling, by the way. We have a ninja, a black mage, a dark knight, and dancers, and a dragoon.
01:25:22 So we have... I'm so sorry. When are we going to see the Scholar? They can... Oh, right. Oh, you could. I mean, I've been thinking that. Here's just another small tidbit. But, you know, we're allowing job actions, right? And as a Scholar, you can expedite. And also, if they engage in a fight and they're close enough, you could use rescue, you know? Right? So I'm just saying.
01:25:51 Ich denke, wir haben auch ein Feld geöffnet. Ja, ich würde sagen, um... Wir haben gesagt, wir sind, wir sind, wir sind, wir sind, wir haben. Wir sind. Wir sind. Wir sind. Wir sind. Wir sind. Wir sind. Wir sind. Wir sind. Wir sind. Wir sind. Wir sind. Ich bin. Ich bin. Ich bin. Ich bin. Ich bin. Ich bin. Ich bin. Ich bin. Ich bin. Ich bin.
01:26:19 Just give them some hints out there. We'll see what turns up. Alright, so let me go ahead and introduce our racers. We have the Razor of Mountains, Sweet Dreamer, a dragon's best friend, the Storm Puppy, the Olympian, Garo, and lastly, but not least, Queen Bean. Oh my gosh. We're in the presence of some royalty up in here. Oh my gosh. Yeah, let me go ahead and give them their presence really quick. Sure.
01:26:48 Let's go, I'm so excited for this. Yeah. 100 wins, are they gonna make it 101 by winning this race? We'll see. We'll see, we'll see. I see in area chat, we have some fans of the White Mage. They're like, go, you can do it, White Mage, go on!
01:27:17 We believe in you. I'm seeing the chat too. Yeah. All right. Can I have all my racers stack up here, please? Where the queen bean currently is. I feel like that's a good starting point. All right. Let's have everybody stack up. Make sure you're all good to go. All right. All right. Stay there. And then I'm going to go ahead and bring out my trusty. Oh no.
01:27:48 Oh, no. Oh, no. One second. Oh, it seems we're going through some technical difficulties. One second, everybody. One second, one second.
01:29:26 All right, so we're back. Sorry about that. We kind of had some technical delays and everything, but I think we should be good for the most part. We are back indeed. Thank you so much for waiting, everybody. Sorry about that. We are doing this from like a work-from-home setup, so please just hang in there with us. We hope you're having a great time regardless, and we're about to get into our next race. So here we go. I'm going to go ahead and ready check just to make sure everybody is good to go indeed. Okuyomi and Minarine.
01:29:55 You both okay over there? We're ready. Yep, we're good. Okay. Good, good, good. All right. So here we go. All right. And now I'm going to go ahead and do the countdown. Here we go in 10. Let's see it. Let's see it. Let's see these strats. I want to see it.
01:30:16 Oh, and they are off, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, a dragon's best friend is about to make the first A marker, the first checkpoint, their best friend. Let's go, let's go. I wish we had some dramatic music playing in the background, but I feel like it kind of makes it more of a serious thing, you know? We need to have the Lords of Verminion BGM in background.
01:30:44 All right. A Dragon's Best Friend is making some really, really good progress. Let's see what they're planning to do.
01:30:53 So far, they're all making their way over. Anna Dragon's Best Friend is... Ooh, still in the lead. Very nice transition towards... I believe that was Reaper back over to Ninja. So let's see it. Right behind is the Storm Puppy. And we got the Sweet Dreamer. This is very nice. Oh, here you come. I see you all.
01:31:15 Let's go, let's go. It's like Dragon's Best Friend. We're heading towards the Black Brush Station.
01:31:32 Because it seems like this train is heading towards that stop now. Let's go. Oh, wait. Momentarily, we have Storm Puppy coming through. Is it just a moment? Or are they going to maintain that lead? It's very, very close. We're going to see if they can keep it up. Is Storm Puppy killing the enemies so they can't jump? Because I think I see that going on right now. Good strat. Okay.
01:32:00 All right. And then now let's see where they're going to be moving towards. So D now is where they're moving. Let's see who's in the lead. A dragon's best friend. Coming up. Okay. Okay. Okay. Wow. They like took their lead back very, very strongly. They're not getting those enemies to jump to. Very, very nice.
01:32:31 All right, Sweet Dreamer is right there, too. Okay, jumping right down. And the end is in sight, ladies and gentlemen. Is a dragon's best friend going to finish this strong?

So, all right. I think I'm going to leave this up just for like a few more seconds. Oh, wait, no. Let me actually set up the, you know, actually, I'm going to use the starlight dash map as a way to hide the PF. Wait, no, there's some opacity, actually. Never mind, never mind. There is a little bit of opacity.
01:39:37 I don't want to give anybody an edge, so we're going to make sure that this is staying legit. Let me make sure that this is also pretty small. Start using our how many moats? Yeah. Alright, I'm going to go ahead and move it over here. Alright, let me go ahead and set up.

01:41:46 Okay, so how I want everybody to start off with for this race is, you know where the gates are opening right now. So currently where I'm standing, you all could like stack up right where I'm at. So you can go ahead and check that out too. All right.
01:42:06 Just making sure everybody is stacked up. So if you could all stack up on me, actually, I think that would be the most fair. So let's all get everybody stacked up together. Just making sure.
01:42:27 Wait, is it okay if I do this twice? Let's actually have somebody else join. Let's have another contestant, if that's fine. Yes, okay. Thank you for the enthusiasm. Yes, we very much appreciate it. You're amazing. Thank you. Yeah.

Everyone's gonna be sliding around when they're going around the corners. Yep, yep. Alright, so I'm gonna go ahead and let me look for a track that we can probably utilize.
01:43:48 Okay, so let me go ahead and turn the BGM. I don't have it. I don't have it. I'm sorry. I think we do, but we'll get it for next time. Okay.
01:44:06 We'll wait for it. I was thinking of using the one that we start with, Heroes Forge Ahead. It's very upbeat. So let's go ahead and utilize this. I'm going to make sure it just repeats after it...
01:44:27 Okay, hier we go. Okay. Let's make sure everybody can hear this now. Alright. Now that we have some music ready to go, I'm gonna go ahead and make sure all of our contestants are ready. But before we do that, let me go ahead and trade some gifts over to our contestants for the evening. So... Alright.
01:44:51 Here we go, here we go. Can't wait to see our withers on the next two races. I want to know what straps everybody's going to come up with. We do have a white mage once more in this party. Also a couple reapers, a ninja. Oh no, they're changing jobs just to throw everybody off. What are they going to utilize? We don't know. They'll never tell.
01:45:22 It will be their Starlight Secret. Alright, so let's go down the list to see our contestants for the evening. The Excruciatingly Excited. And we also have... Who else do we have?

Das Finale Rennen: Strategien und Überraschungen beim Starlight Dash
01:46:19
01:46:19 Let's see the strats, you know. All right, here we go. Fishers, rise up. Here we go, here we go, here we go. And they're off! Whoa! That was like, you know, in Billiards when you hit the balls for the first time? They all kind of just like went their separate ways. That was crazy.
01:46:52 Let's go. So far, we have the Manta Maniac. Oh, they were using me as... Okay, I'm flying. Oh, oh. Oh, but the Manta Maniac. They did that last time in 2021. I remember that. Did they really? Someone did. I totally forgot about that, but that was a thing that happened.
01:47:17 Wow, I'm surprised. Okay. Oh, okay. High roller. Good job. You saw the, what's it called? The shortcut along with the excruciatingly excited. Wow. Some people actually took the stairs. Well, good job, by the way, but you didn't have to do that. Safety first. All right. So you went down the descent, but now you have to ascend over to the next one.
01:47:46 Das ist über hier. Ich habe vergessen, die Place. In Ageless River. All right. Let's see who's coming through. The High Roller is making sure that they roll over to... Oh, no! The Excruciatingly Excited! Let's go! Wow, okay, okay. Wow, they caught up. Making their way to the Rogue River now.
01:48:16 Let's go, let's see. Wow. Oh no, here we go. Remember, you have to cross three and four directly. Remember, remember, remember.
01:48:39 Oh, is there somebody right behind? Excruciatingly excited is about to make this. Remember, you have to cross over. You can't jump over it. And the excruciatingly excited. Congratulations. Wow. Oh, wait, that's supposed to be two presents. Excuse me. Congratulations.
01:49:05 All right. But yeah, I'll make sure to fly next time so that I can't be used as a teleport point. But it's funny because they got the lead and then they ended up doing the stairs and I was just like, oh, well.
01:49:19 Alright, um, let's see. Where should we go ahead? I'm gonna go ahead and pause the music here really quick and bring the BGM back here. Alright, um, let's see. Uh, let's actually head over here. Uh... Ooh, that's a nice spot. Yeah, we'll have Lipsa in the back, yeah. That's beautiful. Winner's platform. Yeah.
01:49:48 Sorry, I know some people are sending me friend invites, but I have to decline them. It's not you, it's me. They want more Starlight Ashes. Yeah, truly.
01:50:06 All right, I'll give you all a little bit of time to set up your emotes and everything like that. Minarine and Okuyomi, would you guys like to join for these pictures?
01:50:20 Oh, well, you know, you know what? As much as I would, since we didn't do it for the other ones, I'll let you keep it stagnant on that one. But if Naterine does want to join, then... I'll also decline, because I just set up the race. I didn't participate. But you set up these coerces. We'll have, like, a big one at the end, right? We'll have a big one later, yes. Yeah, yeah. Excuse me. Okay. And then I'll do a...
01:50:48 Ich mache Happy für diesen. Hier geht's. Okay. Oh nein, es ist raining! Das ist so cool.
01:51:13 One of our contestants looks like they duel a lot. That's awesome. They do. Alright. Making sure. I'll get it in an action pose. Yeah. Alright, cool.
01:51:43 Okay, all right. This looks pretty good. Angle it down a little bit, forward, and... Nice. Cool. Awesome.
01:52:04 Okay, so let me go ahead and disband. Thanks, everyone. Sure. We actually did have one request. I had someone DM me. If you can do it, SciSeeker, for the viewers who are watching on Twitch, would you be willing to mark the seven contestants with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, like 5, 6, 7? Oh, sure. Yeah. That way they can see where they are, if that's okay. Yeah, sure, sure. Yeah.
01:52:31 We'll be sure if we do this again in the future. I'll make sure that we have a note of that to start out with that. That sounds good. Perfect. All right. Thank you so much, everybody. I'm going to be heading back over. This is going to be our final race of the evening now. So this one's for basically... Yeah. I wish we could have like a champion series. That'd be a lot of fun, huh? Oh, that would be fun.
01:52:58 Oh, some people are saving the marker so that they can play with their friends. Oh, really? I like it. Good idea. We do have those races. Well, we didn't really sneeze. I'm trying to think. Maybe we can make it in the fly chain after. Yeah, that'd be cool. Maybe on like a blog or something. That'd be nice. Yeah. All right. Okay, so let me go ahead and make sure that we're all good to go.
01:53:26 Ich glaube, wir sind. So, ich werde uns wieder zurückziehen, um alles gut zu machen. Wir können die Koordinaten, auch wenn ihr wollt. Ich denke, das wäre eine gute Idee, auch. Ja, ich werde uns die letzten Contestanten aus dem Abend loaden.
01:53:53 Nein! Nein! Nein! Nein!
01:54:23 99, 98. Ich hätte nie gewusst die 8. Nein, ich hätte nie gewusst. All right, ich werde meinen Weg überlegen, dass wir alle gut sind. Okay, sorry about that. Okay. Okay, wir sind alle gut.
Das letzte Rennen: Strategie, Jobwechsel und ein überraschendes Unentschieden
01:54:55
01:54:55 All right, making sure all of our contestants are here. If everybody could line up. You could stack on top where I am at right now to make sure. All right. Racers, get your numbers. We have one more contestant that's on the way, so make sure that they make it through.
01:55:26 All right. Okay. Remember, this is the last race. There are no Mansilow. There is no use of teleportation rings with your eternal bonding partner. There is, however, the ability to change your jobs whenever you feel like. The use of any skills or any such things like that as well. You can job switch to utilize a variety, a plethora of different job abilities. And you also have to make sure that you hit each...
01:55:55 Wehmarker, that is A, B, C, and D. And remember, in order for your win to count, you have to cross the three and the four. If we do not see you crossing the three and the four, that will invalidate your win. So please make sure you cross over. All right. Any questions, racers, before we get started? If not, I'm going to go ahead and start distributing the presents really quick. It's really quick, really quick, really quick, really quick.
01:56:26 Presents and numbers, presents and numbers, presents and numbers. What a good song for the holiday season. Also, Okuyomi, belated happy birthday. Oh, thank you. Happy birthday. Yeah.
01:56:55 I'll make sure to get you back on your birthday next. What? I don't have a birthday. That's crazy. Alright. Okay. I'm just making sure I got everybody. It seems like we got no... Alright. We got no questions. I'm going to go ahead and make sure they're all ready to go.
01:57:26 Stack up, please. Alright, looks like our racers are all ready to go.
01:57:35 We have the Traveler and then we have Sparrow's Harmony. Sparrow's Harmony has two. And then we have the Beta of the Firmament as...
01:58:03 Racer, number three. And then we have... All right, number four, we have the Forbidden Blue. And then next up, we have the Corpse Dancer. Wow. Wow.
01:58:20 And then next up we have Loved by the Axe. Um, I believe that was, uh oh. Uh oh, I lost track. Uh, seven. No, six. Oh my gosh, I'm so bad at counting. Uh, and then last, but certainly not least. We have the Makai Astrologen as number seven. Oh my god, I can't believe this.
01:58:48 I know that you have chat hidden to Twitch, but if you're in the zone with us here on Haliconarsis, we have some very enthusiastic individuals who are saying, um, here they are for the final race featuring the most daredevil group of jolly starlight warriors ever to whirl their skills in a starlight dash. Oh man, I hope they're streaming and actually commentating this. You should do that.
01:59:14 Look at that kind of script that you're writing for yourself. Where are your skills going? Please make sure that you're streaming this. Okay. All right. I'm going to go ahead and ready check, make sure all of our contestants are good to go. All right. And here we go, ladies and gentlemen.

02:00:21 Aber ist das genug? Nein, der Vorbidden-Blue versucht, die Gap zwischen jedem Competitor zu gewinnen. Hier sie gehen, auf der Descent zu gehen. Will sie gehen? Ich hoffe nicht. Hier wir gehen. Hier wir gehen. Remember, dass du nicht aggro hast, wenn du solche Gap hast, denn du wirst. Oh, no! Das ist eigentlich ein guter Strat. Oh.
02:00:51 All right, making sure to go, making sure to go, making sure to go. Now they are ascending.
02:01:04 Seven still in the lead. Very nice. Making good strides. Wait, Makai Astrologen took the lead. What? Where am I not seeing it? Oh, just kidding. The forbidden blue just came from the back. What? What? That was cool.
02:01:27 Ja, da war eine Pathway, die sie entdeckten sind. Oh, yes. Oh, es ist neck und neck. Oh, Sparrows of Harmony caught up, gerade jetzt.

02:03:05 Was? Das ist insane. Ja, es war's. Ich konnte nicht sehen, ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Aber sie sind beide. Ja. Oh, Hiomi, kann ich Sie bringen? Oh, nein. Ja, ja, ja. Ich war so excited. Ja, no worries. All right, okay. Now, wir gehen und gehen unsere finalen Bilder hier. Hier ist die Zephyr Gate Starlight Celebration Circle.
02:03:34 Starlight Circle? Uh-huh. Power Circle? I don't know. Okay. Gonna need a linesman to record finishes? Oh, man.
02:03:48 Ja, und danke für die Spieler, die mir ein DM hat, weil die Marker sehr viel helfen hat. Ja, wir machen sicher. Wir machen sicher. Wir machen sicher in der Zukunft. Für sicher. Ich werde in der Backzone sein. Oh, sorry. Ich habe gesagt, das letzte Mal wir haben, wir haben nicht so viele Marker. Das ist wahr. Das ist sehr wahr. Ja.
02:04:10 All right, I'm going to make sure that I... Let me make sure to take off all the markers. Sorry. One, two, three, four. This one off of me. Cool. All right, I'm going to give it a few seconds before we go into G-Pose, and then I'm going to take off the notion map real quick.
02:04:42 Actually, I'm gonna do this. Okay. Alright. Okay, looks like everybody has their emotes.
02:04:59 Yes, big ups to Okuyomi and Minarine for setting this up for each race. Thank you, thank you. Amazing, amazing stuff. Thank you, Psyseeker, for commenting. Oh no, it was truly my pleasure. That was crazy. I did not expect the race to end the way that it did.
02:05:27 I love all the titles. Overall, we had The Returned, Perfect Blue, Barista at the End of the Universe, A Dragon's Best Friend, The Excruciatingly Excited, Forbidden Blue, and Maki Astrologen. Very nice. All right. I like this picture a lot. It's kind of cute. Sure, actually. Two, three.
02:05:56 Okay, let me go ahead and take a few pictures. I like how everybody lined up for this one, too. Fantastic, look at that. Showmanship at its finest, ladies and gentlemen. All right, without the effects.
02:06:17 All right. And that is going to be it for our Starlight Dash of the Year. But unfortunately, I don't think we have that much time left to do the custom PvP matches. I think this took up a lot more time than I thought it was going to. So, yeah. How about... Ooh, what is going on over here? Do you see the Namazu line?
02:06:42 I had my camera turned, and I do now.
02:06:55 Die Seeker, kannst du ein Bild von First Person machen? Ja. Ja, und dann... Ja, kannst du eigentlich... kannst du alles auf so wir können, so wir können ein Bild von Ihnen für Dokumentation? Ja, das ist wirklich cool. Ja, ich starte von dem Beginn, eigentlich. Sure, ja. Oh, wow, okay. Das ist so cool. Es geht um den River.
02:07:25 y'all are the best this is so cute and they all have bells on it and they're kind of like if you think about it they're a little bit uh they're festive this is really cute yeah cute awesome you guys
02:07:53 Danke, alle!
02:07:59 That was awesome. I really like it. The Great Wall of Namazoo. The Great Wall of Namazoo, yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's amazing. But now, I think, where should we go to take our final picture? Should we go back to the Maketo Amp Theater? The Wall of Namazoo. Right here? We should take it here? I think so. Okay. I mean, unless you really want to go back to the Maketo Amp Theater. Well, it's just making sure that I can have everybody in the picture. You know? That's totally fine. They could try to get into a line like...
02:08:28 mit einem Flugzeug und dann, wie du, eine Layer? Was wir, was wir, was wir hier in der Nama-Zoos können? Aber sie müssen hier zwischen den Nama-Zoos sein. Ich weiß, es wird nicht auf jeden Fall sein, aber die drei und die vier. So direkt an der Start des Zephyr Gate. Ja, ja, ja. Das ist gut zu mir. Das ist gut. Ja. So, ihr könnt alle auf Nama-Zoos sein. Ja. So, y'all können woher ihr gerne.
02:08:56 We would have had to be on, I think, the cloud test servers. Yeah. Oh, this is good. Yeah, wow. All right, I'm going to give it a few more seconds before we actually go ahead and...
02:09:28 Halakarnamazuwal. Das ist das, was sie bezeichnet. Halakarnamazuwal. Ich liebe das sehr. Ich liebe das sehr.

Es ist wirklich cool. Ich fühle mich, wie es da sind, wie in dieser Style ist. Ich denke, sie versuchen, dass sie das so aussehen können, für ihre Warrior of Light. Das ist wirklich cool.
02:14:16 I love the detail in the hair and the ears. Yes. Very, very amazing. So nice. Thank you so much for submitting. Alright, next up we have Vikar165. This is awesome. I really like the effects that Ishtola has on her hands. Really, really cool.
02:14:40 Ja, das war die erste Sache, die mein Augenblick auf die Effekte auf der Spell-Castung. Ja, ich denke für mich, die Perspektive ist sehr schön, auch. Ich liebe es.
02:14:51 Und die coolness von der Warmness mit der Spell-Effekt. Ich liebe es, wie es alles zusammenkommt. Ja, und wenn du eigentlich nach unten auf der Stolle ist, die Effekt geht, so du kannst, wie es die Magik kommt, wie es her whole being manifested in die Hand ist. Das ist so cool. Das ist nice. Ja, ich habe noch nicht gesehen. Oh, das ist ein schönes Piece. Ja, wirklich, wirklich toll. Vielen Dank für diese Piece. Danke, danke.
02:15:20 Ja. All right, Minarine, what do we got next? All righty, next up we have a piece of Meteon in the darkness. This comes from Softbrambles, also known as Manon Umbriel, from Midgard Somer. Oh, this one's really good. I really like it a lot, especially how like... Oh, sorry. Go ahead, finish.
02:15:46 Oh no, das ist wie die Hintergründe in die Bildung. Das ist wirklich cool. Ich fühle mich mein Lieblingspartner ist, dass es für mich ist, dass die Artists eine sehr distincte Entscheidung gemacht haben, um die Hintergründe zu zeigen. Ich fühle mich, wie viele von den Charakteren wir bekommen haben, es ist immer ein Fokus auf die Front. Aber ich fühle mich, dass es sehr iconic ist, um die Silhouette zu sehen.
02:16:09 und das und dann einfach alles zusammen. Das ist super cool, ich liebe dieses Stück. Ja, me too. Es ist wirklich, wirklich amazing. Awesome, awesome stuff. Vielen Dank für die Submitteilung. Gosh, es ist die Details und wie viel sie standen aus, mit all ihren Vibrant Colors. Ja! Und ich denke, dass, wirklich, ohne zu spüren, specific Spoilers, ich denke, das wirklich ties in mit ihr Charakter und wie wir wissen, wie wir von ihr. Mhm, sorry.
02:16:37 All right. Amazing. Thank you for submitting. Yep, yep. And Okuyomi, who do we have next? Next up, we have Ovanus or Extella Galatee from Omega. Everyone's favorite boy. Yeah. And in particular, Minerines. Minerines are cool. Yeah, it's cute. And he's like blushing. So cute.
02:17:04 Ja, ich glaube, dass das Necklace ist auf dem, so man sieht es. Ja, das ist nice. Ich glaube, dass Minarine pointed out die Freckles und die Blushing, weil... Ich denke Minarine ist wahrscheinlich Blushing jetzt! Hi! Hey! Hey! Maybe.
02:17:27 No, it's okay. Chat's blushing with you. True. I'm not alone. I'm glad. Some people in the shower just give that boy a burger or a taco. So good. Yeah. I'm pretty sure he would appreciate either one. It's a beautiful piece, though. It feels like there's a lot of weight in the strokes, too. So that's something that stands out with this piece that I really love seeing.
02:17:52 I just really like the necklace a lot, because everything has been really warm, and the only cool point has been the necklace, the blue from the necklace. It's so good. It's like a really good focal point. Thank you so much. All right, next up we have... Okay, I believe there's multiple ones of this, if I'm not mistaken, correct? I think so, yes. All right, so this is from Yuseilist, which is the artist.
02:18:20 These two that are shown right now are Nafaltis Oranir of Odin and Hyksna Orin of Seroth. These are really, really good. The line work that we've gotten today on a lot of our pieces have been so on point and this one is like, without a doubt, very nice as well. This is amazing. I love this. I love that it's so like...
02:18:44 Portrait focused on these characters and I feel like I can learn so much about them just from these portraits. They're both our raw characters and they share the same, what's it called, face type if I'm not mistaken, but they have such different feels to them, I think. It's really, really cool. I feel like the artist really captured the personality of each character. Alright, let's move on to the next ones, yeah? Yeah, what else do they have?
02:19:10 This one features Rizal Lowo and Lowo Lowo of Spriggan. So cute. And Rekia Sarai of Belmung. Oh, I love these both because just like the other two, I feel these really give off strong character vibes for each of them. Yeah, this artist is amazing. Wow. And they're so distinct, like the character personality, even through this.
02:19:38 Ja, für real. Und du kannst auch die Freckles die Makote haben. Ich habe das erste Mal gesehen. Ja, wirklich cool. Ja, danke für all diese, für uns zu sehen. All right, Minarine, die wir jetzt haben?
02:19:59 All righty, so up next we have Marote03 Art, also known as C. Luska Ko from Maduin. Ooh. First, it's their character with the Fall Guys collaboration outfits. Very cute, with a crown.
02:20:18 She's the queen bean. The queen bean. The queen bean. This is so cool. I love seeing, like, we've seen a little bit of fan art for this collaboration, and it's always such a pleasure to see it when we do, because that's super cool. And I love that jacket. That jacket is, like, one of my favorite glams now. Right? That's what I'm saying. I love those shoes, honestly. Shoes are so cool. And the gradient on the sweater and the sweatpants is cool. True.
02:20:46 The way it just seamlessly turns into the different colors. I just love that. For sure. Yeah. Thank you so much for submitting this. We love seeing in-game collab stuff, too. Truly, though. I believe they have a second one as well. Oh, do they? Oh, cute! A little selfie with their tome.
02:21:15 I call it the Eye Tome. Yeah, I call it the Eye Tome. Cute. Oh my gosh. I like the stuffed Chocobo. And they always seem to have a Moogle following them. I wonder if that's their favorite minion that they use? Yeah, I really like their hair too. How they did the lighting with their hair. Very cute.
02:21:44 Awesome, awesome. Yeah, thank you so much for submitting these two pieces. They're very awesome. All right. Yeah, they're beautiful. All right, Okuyomi, who do we got next? Next up, we have Kokoro, Biumine from Azura, the artist, or Amos Thane from Corel, the character. This is awesome. You're right, with the line work that we've been seeing for all these, like...
02:22:13 Entries, they're so good. They have been. They've been so on point. I love the detail on the body piece as well. And the weapon too. Because they use a lot of just cell shading almost on this. And it really conveys a lot of feeling on this. I love this. Is it a Reaper or is it a Dark Knight? I always think, oh, it might be a Reaper who's like...
02:22:42 I think it's a Reaper. It could also be a Dark Knight who's getting ready to Salted Earth. I can't tell. Really, really cool. It's an amazing artwork. I'm just double-checking. They do have another one. Let's go ahead and check it out. Wow.
02:23:05 That's awesome. I like the smooth ears. I feel like this kind of gives me, like, you know how some classic Final Fantasy games kind of have those, like, portraits when you go into the start menu? That's kind of the vibes that I'm getting from this. Yeah. Yeah, I can see it. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, amazing work. Thank you so much. This is a lot of detail put in both pieces. I love it seeing it throughout the armor. Yeah, truly. Thank you, thank you.
02:23:33 All right, and then next up we have Silphur, the Sky Dragon of Hyperion. And they are with their friend, who I believe is Jandalin, as Sweet Brett.
02:23:47 Yeah, this is awesome. Cute. I believe this person was in the races today, too, no? Oh, really? I could have sworn I took a screenshot. I think so, too. Yeah, I was just going to say chat was pointing out, too. Yeah, this was in Vegas. This was at FanFest school. Nice. Very, very awesome. But thank you so much for sharing your amazing cosplay with us and also for joining the race today as well.
02:24:14 Yeah, this is super cool to see. Amazing cosplay. Alright, yes. Thank you, thank you. Oh, actually, do they have a second? But it's not a cosplay. So I think they actually have a second piece. But it's not cosplay. It's actually artwork. Let's go ahead and check it out then. Wow.
02:24:37 Wow. Talented with cosplay and in artwork. Heavensward fan is what I'm getting from this, yeah? Very cool. Yeah. I know, I know. I love this though. I love that it feels very watercolor to me. So it's like another one of those where I think this is digital. You can correct me if I'm wrong, but...
02:25:02 Und wenn man das medium gebracht hat, wird es so gut. Ja, wirklich. Es ist wirklich wirklich toll, wenn man, gosh, es in Kostler und in Artwork ist. Ich bin so jealous.
02:25:17 Awesome. I love the juxtaposition of the light and dark with Racer and Falk at the bottom, along with Ysail and Istinian. So good. Beautifully done. Yep, yep. Thank you, thank you. Yeah, thank you so much for sharing. All right, Okuyomi. Who do we have next? Or I believe it's Meena Rain's turn? My bad. Okay. Oh, yeah, go ahead Meena Rain. I can go. Next up, we have Tani Kagon.
02:25:45 Um, von Sargatanas. Ooh. Looks like a duo of adventurers, duo of Warrior of Light. Yeah, we like this a lot. What is a warrior, I think? Warrior and Paladin. Paladin, oh. That's cool. So they're both tanking? In amazing outfits, by the way? Uh-huh. Look at this, a warrior is slaying. Oh my gosh. They must be about to tank swap once taking that hit. And the warrior is like, I'm talking!
02:26:14 I know what's coming next. That's so cute. I love it. You know what's getting me? I know this is probably not on purpose and this is probably not the intention of it, but for the Paladin's weapon, it low-key looks like they have an ice cream cone sword just because of the design that's on the hilt. I love it. I know it's not that, but I can't help but think of it. But it's so good. I really like this.
02:26:41 Do you need a step to go get a snack? Are you a little hungry? I mean, a little, but I'll be fine. Okay. I appreciate your concern, but yeah. I love this, though. It's definitely... It's a beautiful piece. I really like... We saw this in the last one, kind of between the light and the dark, but I love how we have the cool and warm here. Yes, totally. It's also kind of like a player one, player two kind of vibe, because they're usually... Yeah. That's awesome.
02:27:10 Wow, even the details. So amazing. Yeah, beautiful. Beautiful. Alright, and Okeomi, who do we have next? Next up, we have Absolute Ama, or Ama-Yo-Mama, from the Go-Former.
02:27:29 I love this is a traditional piece yeah it's definitely a black mage awesome so good big fan big fan we love seeing traditional art on this channel I know that we've said that so many times but it's so cool I feel like
02:27:58 I get so happy when I see the eraser arcs over on the side there. Yeah! I love this. I know, I just love seeing the brushwork and the pencil work on here. So good. Yeah, I really just like how, because you could tell how much they held their pencil down during a certain shading, and then in other ones they kind of just went not as crazy with it, so it's really cool.
02:28:25 Amazing artwork. We love seeing this. Yep. Thank you so much. These are all so cool. All right. Oh, yeah. And the Google stuff too. Sure, sure.
02:28:36 Alright, thank you so much. Let's see what we have next. We have Jinn the Blue for Ignis Lily of Matthäus. Awesome piece. I feel like this might be a Hellsguard sage or crafter. I think it's a sage. The sage? The sage. The stuff on their back feels like sage, but it's a beautiful piece. I love that they have their eyeglasses on.
02:29:04 Ja, die Fashion Accessory. Also haben sie... Das ist die neue Haare, richtig? Ja. Das ist so schnell. Oh mein Gott. Ich liebe das. Ja, ich liebe das. Ich fühle mich das mit der Fall Guys. Wir hatten das sehr schnell. Das ist toll, und ich liebe die Detail, die sie zeigen. Und die Weapon. Ja, für real. So gut.
02:29:34 All right. And Minarine, do we have anything left next? Yes, yes. Yes, we do. We have Tato Lady, also known as Eiletta Yule from Genova, who's cosplaying as Tataru. And shout out to their photographers while AK1 photos. So cute. I feel like I have seen. Yeah.
02:29:59 Ich glaube, ich habe ihn schon gesehen, aber nicht sicher. Ich glaube, wir haben einen Totaru gesehen, aber ich bin nicht sicher. Aber ja, das ist wirklich toll. Perfect für die Winterzeit. Ja, das ist wirklich cool. Ja, richtig? Ich liebe es sehen, die Cosplayers kommen als ihre Lieblings- Ich weiß nicht, ob sie ihre Lieblings- Ich weiß nicht, ob sie ihre Lieblings- Ich weiß nicht, ob sie ihre Lieblings- Aber ich fühle mich, dass sie ihre Lieblingsfamilien in ihrer Pose capturen, wie Totaru's Charakter in Essence so gut.
02:30:27 Ja, es ist so schön. Ich liebe die Art der Make-up für das, auch. Es ist so schön. Es ist so gut. Es ist so gut für Tataru. Ja. Es ist so schön. Vielen Dank für'shören. Ja, wirklich. All right. Kokoyomi, was wir haben? Next up, wir haben Coconut Cat-Cat oder Kupo Barkingway von Sagittarius.
02:30:52 That's an amazing name, by the way. I've been getting some really good names. For real. I love this, though. I love that the background is so different. We have the really cool dark background, but then it's almost not even just with the cool and the warm, but the illumination of it. Yes, definitely. Yeah, it makes the character really stand out, and there's just so much detail going on in here, especially with the astrology and weapons. This is so beautiful.
02:31:21 Ja, das ist wirklich großartig. Big fan, big, big fan. Very big fan.
02:31:27 Das ist wirklich, wirklich toll. Ist das die Eden... ...Healer-Piece? Ich weiß nicht, was Eden-Reid es ist. Ich glaube so, Eden-Grace, vielleicht? Ich bin nicht sicher, aber es könnte sein. Ich hatte es an einem Punkt. Ich weiß, dass der Reid, der Alliance-Reid attire, an einem Punkt war das, aber ich weiß nicht, wie es dies ist, weil es all weiß.
02:31:53 So this might be a case of where it's died, too. I just can't recall. Pretty good, pretty good. Thank you so much for this. This is awesome. Thank you, thank you. All right, and then next up, we have the Paper Toadette, or Mana Aetheldei of Ultros. Very nice cosplay.
02:32:23 Oh, this is amazing. Mm-hmm. I love their backdrop that they had when they were capturing this. Yeah, this is awesome. I really, really like it a lot. It's giving me the feeling that she's in the Ethereal Sea too with the backdrop. Uh-huh. It is giving me those vibes, yeah. The bokeh in the background, so good. I believe that's what it's called, right? Bokeh? Yeah, the bokeh, yep. Mm-hmm. And then the...
02:32:51 Elpis Flower, too. So amazing. Very nice touch. I love this. Thank you so much for submitting. We love seeing cosplay. Yep, yep. Great. And then next up, Minarine, who do we have? So next up, we have Raito Izumi as the artist. And they are depicting a battle with Susanoo. And we have our two healers here, Willow and Chazmin.
02:33:20 Looks like Jasmine is trying to pull Willow out of the attack right there. Rescue in progress. Yeah, that's awesome. They're both healers too, I think. Yes. Which is really cool. That's so cool, yeah. I love the perspective on this. Yeah, same. Especially if you know the fight, but not even if you know the fight. It tells a story, which is what I really enjoy about this piece. It's so beautiful. Yeah, for real. So, so good. Big fan.
02:33:50 Even the way Sasano is done, too. Every part of this is amazing. I really like it a lot. Alright.
02:34:03 And then next up, Okuyomi, who do we have? Next up, we have Machi Cherry. I keep getting all the good names today. So good. You know, we've been playing, what's it called? These art pieces have been playing a lot with the dark and the warm, or sorry, the cool and the warm tones, and I really like it in this one. Because it's like they're kind of working together, I feel like.
02:34:30 I feel like, at least in this piece, this artist used it very subtly. But it makes a lot of an emphasis on this. So this is so beautiful to see. I love how it's reflected in Yushola's eyes. And then I just love Yushola's feather earrings, too. Yeah, they're one of my favorite headpieces. So to see them drawn this way, so good. I really like the way that her amulet is shown, too. Oh, I like the texture overall in this.
02:34:59 Das ist, glaube ich, mein Favorit. Das ist awesome. All right, danke so much. And next up, we have Na-Lusions, or Kiana Kilo of Exodus, with their photographer Brittany Lee Dot Artistry. This is awesome. Just like the way that they are using the bouquet in this also, too. Yeah. So good.
02:35:26 I love their contacts, too, because that really stands out, especially in the picture on the right. Yeah. Yeah, it pops out. It's amazing. You know what's funny? I believe these pictures were taken at FanFest. Oh, really? Yeah, I know the one on the right is definitely taken at FanFest, because I remember the floor. Like, the floor patterns and stuff.
02:35:50 Das ist cool, ich kann nicht glauben, dass sie das ausfügt. Das ist gut. Ich kann nicht glauben, dass sie das ausfügt. In da.
02:36:01 Really cool. Thank you so much for submitting this. This is a beautiful place. Alright. And that wraps it up. So thank you so much everybody.

And I think that just about wraps up Community Commendations. And we have one last thing that we're going to go ahead and do, and that is the giveaway. So let's go ahead and get that started really quick. And we also have like...
02:37:21 A few messages and everything like that. I'm sorry, a few messages. We have the keyword ready. Let me go ahead and bring this up really quick. But before we go ahead and go into announcements, we're going to start with the giveaway. So if you want to get into this giveaway.
02:37:47 Um, I did mention earlier how it's not exactly this snowman head, but we will be sending you a snowman costume head, uh, for the Starlight Season this holiday. Um, so if you would like to, uh, have a chance at getting one of these, then please, please, please, um, make sure that you are in North America for this contest. I mean, contest. For these, uh, for this giveaway. And the keyword is... Exclamation point!
02:38:15 So you can go ahead and start putting that in, exclamation point, star in chat. We wanted to add the starlight to it, but we felt, you know, make it easy, might as well, you know.
02:38:30 All right, so while you are all typing in Star, let's go ahead and go into some of our announcements. I think we could start off with the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival in Tokyo. Streaming details? That good? Yeah, yeah. No, I think we definitely can. All right, so let's take a look at these. So if you are not aware, the Fan Festival in Tokyo is happening next year, 2024.
02:38:56 There is going to be a free stream that will be playing on both days, but it excludes both the piano performance and the primals concert, and you can watch them on YouTube, Twitch, or Nico Nico Live.
02:39:10 Und nicht nur das, aber wenn Sie gerne in den Konzert haben, vielleicht nicht die Chance zu gehen, die Nordamerika- oder die Europäische Fan-Festival sind, die Ticket-Sales für das starten wird nächstes Woche. Also bitte auf den Bezug auf. So, ja, Sie sehen alle die Details da.
02:39:32 And then next up for other things, if you haven't noticed, if you are subscribed to the YouTube page currently for Final Fantasy XIV, there have been some really, really amazing messages and all that stuff. Or alternatively, you can go ahead and visit the 10th anniversary website so you can check out all those really, really wonderful messages from various notable figures, as it says in there. Yeah. Some of the ones that came out recently, we had the...

So be checking back every day. There's a new one. All right. And then we also have new Tales from the Dawn. So you can go ahead and check that out. So that's really, really cool. This is voted on.
02:40:25 So, um, there was a survey that came out, uh, I believe it was at towards last summer, um, previously, and players voted on which, uh, characters they wanted to see. So make sure you go check that out. We won't, we won't give any spoilers. You can go read it and you can go find out, but this was awesome because you all voted on that. Awesome. Awesome. All right. And then, uh, if you didn't notice it already in your, uh,
02:40:52 ...kurrent city-states, where you're hanging out at. Probably Limsa. But if you didn't notice it already, the Starlight Celebration has begun actually today. So if you haven't gone and had yourself go through the events in the game, please make sure to check it out. But I believe the questline itself is starting in Gridania. At the Miketo Alpha Theater, where we were.
02:41:21 All right, and then there are also some optional items for sale, so you can go ahead and check that out. Some based on the previous Starlight events and everything like that as well, as well as some new emotes and everything like that, too. Yeah, and you want to point out, because we all know Glamour's the true endgame, and, you know...
02:41:44 Depends on what kind of person. But there is a Winter Sale going on for the online store. So that if you wanted to... Let's name off a few. There's some Fantasias. We all know everyone needs to have a new look for 2024, right? So make sure if you want to stock up. Those are discounted right now.
02:42:04 So get some Fantasias for yourself if you're looking to maybe use a... They're Tales of Adventure, but it's basically essentially like a story skip for any of the expansions. Maybe you want to try out a new job. You can also get those. Those are great to purchase right now if you'd like because of the fact that they are on sale. So check that out. But I do have a friend.
