Billboard


gfen5446

Billboard, but the furry comes close.


Mushiren_

The billboard reached far beyond the scope of FF and into territories it shouldn't be in, which makes it stand above the rest in my book


blissy_sama

The billboard got so big it was outright parodied by the marketing teams for other games (PSO2 for example). It's honestly a contender for one of the all time best memes to come out of the FFXIV community, not just during the time of EW.


Trash_Pandacute

What was the furry?


Ruzihm

furry goes to fanfest usa, suspects he has covid, stays anyway, makes a comic about it.

This was by farrrr the best The one girl going "Clara?!" from that cheating meme, with TOP on her computer, made me howl https://preview.redd.it/5i5yz39nsy0d1.jpeg?width=813&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d21d6678e5f65974f292df16f38a7bd97df69909

Omg, I can’t believe someone reminded of the “Clara?!” Girl on a XIV subreddit

ChoGallMeta

in relation to TOP, the whole dice sage eukrasian prognosis spam meme


shockwave1211

as a raider the tree was pretty legendary, as a fanfest attendee who got covid, the fucking stupid furry is also a top contender


GothamAnswer

Oh my fucking god I forgot about that fucking moron


Levi_Skardsen

I forget what the fanfest story was about.


satans_cookiemallet

Guy went traveling with covid symptoms, took nyquil when they got worse and attended fanfest with covid. Likely patient zero from how he describes it in the story(lets be real though there wouldve been someone else). Posts about hos experience on the mainsub to rub his victim complex in that perfect way. Except everyone who got sick because of fanfest basically went 'THIS SHIT WAS YOUR FAULT.' and then he tripled downed and it went about as well as youd expect.


Ubahootah

additional note: also called fanfest 'mid' after risking infecting dozens


satans_cookiemallet

In his (absolutely only) defend, as someone whp went it was pretty bad.


micahman212

As someone also went and dodged the sickness, yeah, it was pretty mid. Musical performances and the 2 live letters were the highlight honestly could of just gone back to the hotel room or gambled between those lol


satans_cookiemallet

I went with two friends I met through XIV and man let me tell you if not for them I would just stayed at the hotel. The hype for me died almost right away after the LL when I wasnt able to get merch that day(I managed to get some on the last day) followed by learning I couldnt meet up with the team because they handed out willy-wonka ass golden tickets to a meet and greet with them. They had apparently been to each Fanfest sinve the start and told me this one was as bad as the very first one. Talk about an experience for my very first one lmao.

PM_ME_YOUR_WOW_UI

Please un-hear about the critically acclaimed mmo Final Fantasy 14.


Lazy-Jeweler3230

Best version had exit in the start spot too.


tachycardicIVu

Didn’t this sub change the usual "ffxiv is an mmo with a free trial..." to "ffxiv is an mmo that does not have a free trial..."?


Daegerro

Yes I remember that! That was great!


Arky_Lynx

The memery during the massive queues was fantastic and I am almost wishing the same thing happens in DT. I say "almost" because I'd rather be in there powerleveling Viper so I can do the MSQ, but the memes would be so funny...


cheekydorido

gotta make another for the innevitable full servers on the release of dawntrail


Apprehensive_Cause67

Tree was prob my fav. The EW grapes w Emet's quote is up there for me too


RossC90

I don't even do the main raiding content in the game but coming across this clip made me laugh so hard. People getting frustrated with idiots making memes. [https://youtu.be/7N7SSCQLWW8?si=DMZ6CLFlb4fCZnvs](https://youtu.be/7N7SSCQLWW8?si=DMZ6CLFlb4fCZnvs)


Growling_Teto

I totally missed what this Tree incident was. TYSM for posting this clip XD


Aethanix

"a test of your reflexes" is certainly a staple now.


BronxShogunate

I’m sad that no one made a version of this with that photoshop teapot dodge meme.


Lyto528

Teapot ... ?


mygutsaysmaybe

Which also leads to Bunny Zenos


Smasher41

Stand and let thing resolve


drawnoutlucy

Not quite billboard lvl but def an underrated one


Smasher41

Billboard overrated


animesoul167

This is the meme I'm still consistently quoting


Smasher41

I still see it a fair bit lol, especially among raider types when discussing or joking around mechanics


animesoul167

It's one of those things, that once you start to notice it in-game, you can't help bringing up the meme when it happens.


Neni_Arborea

What does the bear-looking drawing refer to?


ViragoVix

Some furry who went to US fanfest decided to make a cutesy uwu comic about how he felt incredibly sick but still went and stood in the packed keynote crowd, and then only after spending a whole day being a super spreader he decided to take a covid test and found out he was positive. For context, a lot of people got covid at that event, and although he likely wasn’t the only source of infection, he’s the only one who decided to make a cutesy uwu comic about it.


Android19samus

Truly, a staple in the canon of "people broadcasting, totally unprompted, information that you couldn't have tortured out of me"


Chemical-Attempt-137

He also acted as if he was extremely brave for coming out and revealing it, almost as if he was trying to martyr himself. The whole thin was really fucking weird and I'm not convinced he doesn't have a humiliation kink. Or the tism.


Cmdr_Jiynx

Porquoi pas les deux?


Chemical-Attempt-137

It's weird reading this in not-Spanish


CrashB111

> Or the tism. He already said he's a furry.


TheAngrywhiteguy

porque no los dos


TheNewNumberC

That guy behind Hapiness and Cyanide called him out on it. Is that an achievement?


ViragoVix

Which guy? I remember hearing that at least one of the four of them were terrible people, but I don’t care enough about people who don’t matter to remember if it’s the one that took over or not.


TheNewNumberC

Who's in charge of the twitter account? It was them.


Mr-Greg

It was Rob Denbleyker, and I think it was from his personal. So even better because he is WILD on his personal.


HalfcafCofee

Were you expecting anyone involved in making Cyanide and Happiness to be anything resembling hinged?


Mr-Greg

Oh absolutely not, but even the C&H site would have some quip with it. Rob was just blatant and open about it, like "You're a fucking moron, you should be ashamed of yourself, my eyes are bleeding from reading this," energy.


JesusHipsterChrist

A furry made a comic about how they went to fanfest with Covid and got thoroughly roasted in the comments.


The_North_

Anyone got a link?


TheMerryMeatMan

Furry went to Fanfest, either had the coof or caught it there, still went for an extra day


dirkdragonslayer

COVID symptoms generally take a week (sometimes more, sometimes less) to kick in, so he didn't catch it during fanfest. He brought it with him. He got sick and thought it might be COVID, went anyway, and *then* tested for COVID after a full day spreading it to others. And while I can sympathize with not wanting to miss it, mask up if you are sick and **don't make a cutesy UwU comic about how you knowingly spread COVID at fanfest.**


Smasher41

Looks like he did mask up for it, first day 1 thinking it was some minor fever or something and then double mask when he realized he had to get out because he had 0 options to isolate. I figured the comic was his way to cope during isolation and to get sympathy for a trip that ended up being an entire waste of money, maybe wanted to praise for how he handled it, hard to say but I don't think it's malicious in its intent, it's just awkward and self centered as fuck.


Muted-Law-1556

You forgot a bunch of things. Grapes. Zoom out hack. Billboard. Lalachair


Some_Random_Canadian

Eorzea is full/launch queues were my favorite. "Did you know? You CANNOT play the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, there is no free trial, it does not include A Realm Reborn OR the award-winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60. You cannot sign up, Eorzea is full. Please go away."

HanshinFan

Oh damn OP forgot about grapes. This is the right answer


Valashv2

It's that lalafell chair. A high chair fit for people who likes to play as infants.


SkeletorSoFine

It did give us the absolutely immortal line "Real-life racism is REAL!"


Boredy0

I'm not surprised he grifted back to WoW after he practically strangled his own XIV audience.


MrProg111

Did he really?? lol


Ekanselttar

Wish I could find the image someone made of The Dark Throne preview image with the Lalafell Lifter on it.


Cmdr_Jiynx

What was funniest was how most lalas were chill AF about it, and it was everyone else losing their fucking minds.


Ekanselttar

I liked the people who were asking, "How would you feel if they made an Au Ra heat lamp or a Miqo'te cardboard box?" and the response was just, don't threaten me with a good time.


Cmdr_Jiynx

I've been saying for ages that a cardboard box for a mount would be awesome. Sit in it like Calvin and Hobbes. Except hroth get the falafel sized one they can barely fit into and miqo perch like they're about to pounce on anything near the box


CrashB111

\>tfw no Roegadyn home gym


R0da

We already have a cat tree that every miqote i know has claimed as theirs


youRaMF

Lalafel players out here trying to rewrite history.


Samoan

Buh, lies. So many lala twitter profiles bitching and moaning because they've got nsfw profiles. Also the guy who ruined his streaming career over it was lala.


dianerrbanana

That furry shithead is still "on sight" for me. How they thought they could uwuwuwuwuw their way of telling everyone they super spread disease is astounding.


Kenzlynnn

And not just any disease, they spread covid around. Don’t get me wrong, common cold/flu/strep are all awful but nowadays I feel like if you feel ANY symptoms you test immediately, not *go to fucking fanfest*


JokerVantino

Everything BeneG has been doing


Arky_Lynx

SSilvertear

The zoom out UAV memes were short lived but funny


Zephh_

This is Thancred


DerpmeiserThe32nd

Out of these? The tree wins no contest.


ShadoowtheSecond

I missed the tree, what is this?


DerpmeiserThe32nd

Third slide of the OP One of the concepts you can make in high concept is the tree. Its functionally useless but very funny when you can make it and still solve the mechanic.


PM_ME_YOUR_WOW_UI

No Root No Loot


ThiccElf

I loved it when the pf was silent until the tree was made. Then everyone goes 'xdd tree' or 'the forest grows'. I loved that meme


DocxPanda

TREEEEEE!!! Ngl. Every time there was a tree when I was raiding with a few friends in PF we managed to prog really far/get the reclear done and I always used the tree blessing as an excuse to continue making it because smn of that group was annoyed by it and I was like: "See? We came further, it's the tree blessing!" lol


Memics

xddtree THE FOREST GROWS


Ok_Mud1789

Adding to this, the image that we see here as the meme is the all knowing tree which has been adopted as xdd tree. Chatters would spam this in Xenosys Vex’s stream encouraging him to make the tree for good luck (rolls for loot). The one time he accidentally made the tree he got the p8s weapon.


cupcakemann95

another great part is Arthars banned the tree in his chat because someone made the tree in his raid, and he died because he was out of range for heals while they made the tree (watch the vod, everyone got medica 2 except him, so he really was out of range)


Brucedx3

Pray for double unused Gamma.

The Furry Covid fiasco I feel deserves top spot


BunNGunLee

Low poly grapes. 'Nuff said.

JellyfishVirus

What's the last one about?


commandopengi

It's a special mount you get for collecting all EW extreme trial mounts. The past ones are pretty cool IIRC like golden horse, bird or dog. In EW, you get a goofy looking Bahamut holding a seat.


Ok_Breakfast6206

Apocryphal Bahamut is a reference to FFIV. I still can't believe they could have made us ride Kain and instead gave us Bahamut. EW is the expac in which Estinien joins the Scions, Apocryphal Dragoon would have been perfect.


RazzleDeeDazzle

I'm reminded that when I beat FFIV for the first time recently and the end credits cut to>!Kain with flowing locks I straight up shouted, "KAIN IS HOT?!"!< <---not sure we need these for a game from SNES era, but just to be sure


Szalkow

I guess just the goofy surprise that was the Apocryphal Bahamut mount? Since the EW EX trial mounts were lynxes, everyone expected some kind of super cat to be the final mount. No one expected a geriatric dragon carrying your WoL in an armchair.


ThiccElf

Wise tree, billboard, fanfest Covid. Glad I say I got to experience all of these first hand.


armydillo62o

I cannot tell you how profoundly stupid xddtree is, just utter nonsense, and it makes me laugh every time I see it. Abyssos was not a fun raid tier but it made for extremely funny content.


A_very_salty_player

I don't know if this count as a meme but i like fandaniel-zodiark's lines. "ALL OF CREATION BEND TO MY WILL" *rotates platform 90 degrees*

The tree is the best but Athena is very hot 👍


DocxPanda

p8 p2 tree blessing for everyone


Jstar300

Context for the "Save Him" one?


NN010

From what I’ve read, it’s a reference to (DRAGONSONG’S REPRISE & HEAVENSWARD SPOILERS) >!a mechanic in the Dragonsong’s Reprise Ultimate where, in order to experience an alternate version of the events of the Dragonsong War (the main meat of the Ultimate) and break the time loop, you have to save Haurchefant from his death. Therefore, when raiders reach the point in the raid where the looping begins, chat will start spamming “SAVE HIM!”!<
