One Shots: Pure Final Fantasy XIV

Every so often it seems as though the One Shots mailbox starts getting dominated with a single game. I’ve had this happen with Guild Wars 2 and The Secret World, to note two examples, but as of late it’s been all about the Final Fantasy XIV. Must be a shotworthy game, hm?

So today we’re going to feature only pictures from that game, starting with reader Nightscar’s captivating header. “I have been playing FFXIV as of late, and recently I took a screenshot that I think looks pretty cool and very cinematic.”

Do you agree? See the full-color version after the jump and judge for yourself!

Here’s another very pretty picture — it seems as though players really love to take selfies in this game!

“Here’s my White Mage from Elalora Dawnstar,” submitted reader Garthon. “I’m so good that I’m healing with my eyes closed!”

 

Reader Jonathan has a bit of a fashion show for us: “I recently got my Astrologian to level 60 and glamored my gear to the new cosmetic Thavnairian bustier for a more flowy/less buttoned down style. I am quite happy with how it turned out. This is my modeling shot right after changing my robe’s look.”

Ever find yourself in a perfect situation and place for a great picture? MJFife85 sure has!

“This is my Paladin Mina,” MJFife85 writes. “She was running around Iddylshire at night and I saw that the moon was nice and bright. When I panned the camera up, I just had to snap this screenshot.”

And for this week’s It Came from the Comments! winner, I’ll be going with yet another Final Fantasy XIV picture. But don’t worry, I think it deserved it even if it happened to fit the theme of this column.

“This screenshot was an accident, but I liked it,” commented Skardon.

There have been a lot of expansions and big events coming out in MMOs lately, so this week’s screenshot challenge is fairly simple: Send in pictures of all of the new stories, zones, and events!
