As expected, it was a wonderful representation of how deep the FFXIV community goes.Īn hour before doors opened, I bought a new outfit to dress for the occasion and came through swagged out in a bright green floral button up and fashionable shorts–which is quite fitting for my Chie Satoneko headcanon. And I’ve been eyeing the Allure Lounge and the in-game club scene since following streamer SlyAKAgreyfox, so it was a good time to get out of my comfort zone a bit. As I step into a new role with hit video game website Fanbyte dot com where I should start seeing FFXIV with a broader perspective, I’m more inclined to try new things. This kind of role play is probably familiar for those in tune with the more social aspects of MMOs, but this is the first time in my 600+ hours I’d engaged with FFXIV in this way. Patrons lined up outside to get in, hit the dancefloor, and put those paid-for dance emotes to good use while tuned into a live DJ in Allure’s Discord channel. Some players were hosts who served as guides and concierge, others roamed around as security, and a few were ‘bartending’ or dealing at game tables–all of whom were in proper uniformed glamour. The Allure Lounge, a free company house that holds in-game parties and performances, was open two nights for their Vegas-themed weekend event. A couple weekends ago, I went clubbing…in Final Fantasy XIV.
