Final Fantasy 14 players are getting incredibly creative and role-playing as Bridgerton-era characters.
Final Fantasy 14 and Bridgerton isn’t an obvious crossover, and it’s one that you never knew you needed until you see it. Over the past few days, hordes of Final Fantasy 14 players have been dressing themselves up in elaborate ballgowns and flashy suits to partake in the ‘#FFXIVBridgerton’ hashtag on Twitter, effectively cosplaying regency-era characters.
You can see just a sampling of some of the cosplay and dress up in the tweets just below. Since a lot of players are focusing on the Bridgerton-era balls right now, they’re effectively having to cosplay with at least one other player at a time to make it seem like they’re in the midst of a more populous event, which has got to be a challenge for some.
If you’re wondering where this hot new trend stems from, look no further than the tweet below. The whole Final Fantasy 14 and Bridgerton mash-up has been a fan-led event, co-ordinated over the dates in the tweet below. Today, June 5, we’re on the ‘Promenade’ section of the event, but tomorrow, June 6, we’ll probably see a lot of players taking to the grassier areas ofSquare Enix’s MMO for a picnic.
June 7 is where things get spicy. There’s some sort of scandal afoot - that’s right, this isn’t just a cosplay event, but an entire ongoing storyline that players can work in atop their cosplay to tell one big overarching tale from Bridgerton. I’ve even seenone Twitter usergoing so far as to publish their own Lady Whistledown Society Paper to give their story an area of scandal.
Even after finding that international success,Bailey doesn’t want to step away from G’raha Tia. “I’m aware of how important this character is to so many people,” the actor said an interview earlier this year. “I was so determined to not step away from this character that, when I was doing [theater show] Company, I had to record this in the day for about a week while doing eight shows at night.”
