Super MAGfest Prime 2024!
Convention week!! My spouse and I went to MAGfest!
Due to convention prep, I wasn’t online other than for one run of Thaleia with the FC.
I, of course, still had FFXIV on the brain as always. So I loaded my pockets with some allagan companion node pins that I made with my trusty Tecre button machine, and every time I saw someone with either a FFXIV cosplay or wearing related clothing (there were about half a dozen different guys wearing the Insert Coin Paladan Jacket), I would hand them a pin and tell them it was from Amon.
I think my total count of cosplayers I gave pins to were:
1 Azeyma
2 people with the Chocobo Apron (it’s in game clothing, so I am counting it)
1 Maid outfit (bonus points for their House Fortemps ita bag)
1 Hythlodaeus
2 G’rahas
1 Hades
2 Azems
1 Venat
1 Yshtola
1 Postal Moogle, Kupo!
As well as several other people in various kinds of FFXIV related clothing, from the Paladin and Samurai jackets, to a Fanfest pin bag.
I only got a picture of Azeyma, because her costume was just stunning (and she was the only one that was no on their way somewhere or busy), but I will not be posting it here as I do not have her permission.
I also saw someone cosplaying their Raen Au Ra samurai, but I saw them in the crowd at a panel and they left before I did. Oh well.
Also, here’s a really cool panel I got to watch about blindness and other disabilities and how FFXIV handles them.
Here's a link to the youtube upload of the panel! Thanks Magfest!
I like to call this panel “And yet…Y’shtola.”
Afterwards, I gave her a pin (as well as anyone else at the panel that wanted one) and she gave me a Freecure patch! How cool is that? It’s totally going on my battle jacket.
See you next time!
