FFXIV 6.3

I am now caught up to the MSQ again (having left off in the early 6.1 quests) and am now dying to see more of it.

I've also finally cleared the Myths of the Realm alliance trials as well! There are some truly glorious views in both of them, but particularly Euphrosyne - some stunning vistas and I wish we could have Explorer Mode for raids and alliance raids as well as dungeons!

Speaking of dungeons, the 6.1 dungeon has some great lore, good fights and also, yes I'm being predictable, some great views!

I'll just post one here, but there's a few IMHO.

There's only my gameplay GShade preset on this (makes the game colours a little more vivid than vanilla FFXIV) so there's no massive shader effects in place here.

It just looks. That. Cool.

I'm sure I can't be the only one who was compelled to take a shot of that vista when I saw it first.

And just think how amazing it'll all look after the 7.0+ graphics update! 🤤

Combat aside, I finally unlocked the Island Sanctuary, I've not done much more than the first intro-quest there but I have been to my Island! It exists and I have, of course, taken pictures!

When I next have time, I shall need to get into this properly, it looks fun and I can't wait to get my own little slice of paradise up and running!

At some point, I'll wrangle GPose into some flattering shots of my new Skybuilder's Tools (I finally completed the set over my Christmas break) and my Resplendent Weaver's tool too! (Maybe once I've crafted and penta-melded a full set of Indagator's crafting gear I'll get the rest of those, or not, we'll see how easy and affordable that is...)

In the meantime, I've got an average iLevel to raise on my RDM, SHB relic weapon upgrades to farm and a load of older side quests to clear out of my journal!
