The Carbuncle Chronicle@carbunclechronicle.com · yesterday

So this past weekend we got a very special opportunity to get an interview with Michael-Christopher Koji Fox and Toshio Murouchi aka "Foxclon!" It was a lot of fun, and we got some really interesting answers. Keep a lookout later this week at carbunclechronicle.com! #FFXIV #FF14 #Otakon #Otakon2026

7 Gate changes and an hour and 15 min delay so far.... I just want to be home! Cancelled our connecting flight since we will miss it and opted to rent a car to drive home from Atlanta. Just gotta get there now....

Delta is the absolute worst airline.

We have landed in D.C.! Let's get Otakon started!

Heading to @otakon.bsky.social? Need something Final Fantasy XIV related to pass the time? Then do we have the episode for you! Or anyone else who wants to listen. We're not picky. #FFXIV #FF14 #FINALFANTASYXIV #Podcast

The Final Fantasy XIV FanFest in Berlin had all sorts of announcements, and we couldn't wait to talk about them all! (Although may we should have, because somehow @angeldrkfire.bsky.social spoke Yokai-Watch back into existence!) www.osmcast.com/2026/07/the-... #FFXIV #FF14 @en.finalfantasyxiv.com

It is so hard to concentrate at work when we fly out tomorrow for Otakon and we found out last night we are getting to do something I've only dreamed we would be able to do since we started the CC podcast.

I'm So Excited! Animated Reaction

New nails for Otakon. Went with a Hydaelyn look.

I forgot the allied society capstone quest was this patch!! I look forward to that every expansion.

So as it turns out... Huntsville, AL finally has its own Aetheryte! Right by Wicks Family Field at Joe Davis Stadium. Which begs the question for @en.finalfantasyxiv.com, what's Vesper Bay's excuse?

Finally getting to a game this season. Of course we had to come for space night. #HCFC

Oh hey, neat! So yeah, I got to design the badges for Otakon this year! It is very exciting!!! I hope everyone who goes enjoys their badges. Otakon and Square Enix have both been a joy to work with.

Last week, we added a new family member. Meet Dalamud. Still gotta add the NASA details but she is beautiful and I love her.

@sournurse.bsky.social who would have thought this would be downloading on my PS5 in the year of our Lord 2026?!?!

Forgetting am I actually a tank and not standing into the tank tower during Sphene extreme... Also forgetting to swap dance partner back to picto when we wipe on a FRU pull.

The Loporrits would like to know more about our Warriors of Light! 🔎 Share your most relatable FFXIV anecdotes and find out which ones are the most popular! (For example, accidentally forgetting to turn on your tank stance as a tank…)

Finished some crochet commissions over the weekend while sick and watching the Ultimate race.

Pretty productive day while watching the UMAD World Race. My teammate won the genie but he had already gotten it so he gave it to me. ^_^ #FFXIV
