Who doesnt love a good convention?
In this case, I mean that quite literally.
But much like real cons, not being there in person meant it wasnt quite the same.
Who knew MMO FOMO was a thing?
I visited across the weekend to mingle with other players and check out the events.
Getting into any of the FC venues was hard work when things were happening.

The panels were brilliant, and thats an understatement.
There were so many informative talks to help others learn the games content.
One of the best bits was that throughout the weekend there was so much humour surrounding the panels.
I chatted to fellow attendees and asked them what their favourite parts of LunarCon were.
My interest immediately peaked when I saw that opening promotion.
An in-game con in Final Fantasy 14?

I just had to attend that!
So I followed her around and got involved with photo ops.
Watched the opening ceremony, which was fantastic.

I eventually began to mingle myself.
Getting to know people, and getting myself out there trying to make some new friends.
On day two, I watched the cosplay talent contest.
So many talented cosplayers on display, and I was blown away.
That evening I travelled to Marlboro to participate in some clubbing at one of Lunarcon’s club venues.
I danced and had some fun “vending” out food and drinks to patrons.
I can’t wait to go again next year!
Some were easier to spot than others.
For example, you’re free to really missChiliFarmers Karen character.
It was also great to talk about the past years content with other players.
After all, weve had Endwalkers climatic end to the Hydaelyn and Zodiark arc since the last LunarCon.
This expansion was brimming with emotional scenes, so naturally, we all suffered a little heartbreak when playing.
This is actually my first Lunarcon, Ten Ko from Exodus told me.
I have only been playing this game for just over a year.
But the community of the game is amazing and is ultimately the reason I play.
LunarCon has been an amazing experience, and I am so glad to have been a part of it!
It surprised me how many people said that this was their first time attending LunarCon this year.
I made this character pretty much for LunarCon and joined the cosplay contest this year, Calia Balor says.
Thanks again to Shen and his FC for organizing that all!
