Square Enix updated the Lodestone today with more FFXIV news. Read on for the info, taken from the Lodestone.
”
An eerie stillness hangs menacingly in the air and ghouls, goblins and imps are coming out in search of scared young adventurers to terrify. Instead of hiding under your bed scared out of your wits, now is the perfect time to gather your friends around a campfire and share your spookiest stories in hopes of keeping the monsters at bay!
The FINAL FANTASY XIV Tales from Eorzea contest is here to facilitate just that! Gather your friends around a campfire and take a screenshot of your character giving their best scary story performance, and post it on the forums along with a spine-chilling short story that takes place in Eorzea. The Community Team will select five of their personal favorite tales and award those adventurers with a Scarf of Wondrous Wit.
Draw inspiration from the dark sources present in Eorzea and tell a tale that is sure to strike terror into even the bravest adventurers as they slumber in their beds!
