Final Fantasy 14: Adventure Plates Are An Unexpected Joy In Patch 6.1

gamerant.com:

A lot of new content has come to players in Final Fantasy 14's 6.1 update. There is new housing, more main story quests, additional raids, updated dungeons, and fresh items. One of the most interesting additions, though, is the new Adventure Plates. These act as customizable items sort of like business cards for players that others can examine. Customizable information includes playtimes, favorite Final Fantasy 14 class, and a photo of the Warrior of Light.

This was not a long-awaited Final Fantasy 14 update like housing and story content, but the Adventure Plates have turned out to be a hit for the community. This is a way for players to really show their personality and playstyle with a quick little card. Many of them have turned to humor, taking goofy pictures of their characters and writing jokes on the bottom of their plates.

Fan creativity is bursting from the Adventure Plates. Some are taking it seriously with cute expressions or battle-ready poses while others are being as goofy as possible. Players have done unflattering zoom-ins of their characters' faces and, of course, there is no shortage of poses trying to be as NSFW as possible with 2B leggings and crotch shots.

There are even some that have copied popular memes. One has emulated the Megamind meme zoom-in forehead photo with the words «No fantasia?» in their description. Another has perfectly positioned their Paladin next to a White Mage symbol background to emulate the meme, «Is this a Pigeon?» Then, of course, the possibilities of jokes in the bottom descriptions are unlimited. Players sometimes give useful information, but other times they consist of jokes about in-game characters and/or meme references.
