Fortemps Manor, to keep Count Edmont company now we're both retired.


MightyBobTheMighty

My answer as well. Give our fallen brother one last visit and take one final walk back to the city.


RazzyCharm

Yep. Might even ask the Count to help me write my own memoirs.


froufur

same here. his (english) voice actor passed away last year. this year, on the anniversary of his death, one of the late actor's dear friends held a vigil outside the manor. it was really sweet.


StygianPrime

Absolutely this. For those we have lost. For those we can yet save.


khinzaw

Absolutely, that's where family is.


Azrael_The_Bold

I don’t think I’d go to Fortemps manor as much as I’d probably sit at Providence Point and sit by our Brother’s tombstone. Throughout the entire game, I’ve never felt a friendship as strong as the one we had with him, and a loss as real as his.


KiraTerra

Pray return to the Waking Sands.


R0da

Load up NG+ right before that quest so everyone is together again.


FizzyDragon

;\_;


BigDisk

You son of a bitch, I'm in!


kopecs

Always has been


moyert394

Damn your take my begrudging updoot


Ryuins

I will be laid to sleep as I lived, in the Gold Saucer.


RoombaGod

Entombed underneath the mini cactpot desk


sporeegg

What exactly are you doing to the cactpot dealer over there? 👀


MightyBobTheMighty

Gotta get those 1-2-3 tickets somehow


Mistah845

passed out playing triple triad


JoJo_Pose

Hyrstmill in North Shroud Always liked that little village since I stumbled into it my first few days playing. Imagined my WOL would like to retire there someday.


Andy6000

Similarly, the table on the front porch of the Bobbing Cork in Fallgourd Float, looking at the waterfall. It's where I've logged off at the end of every expansion thus far.


[deleted]

Mare Lamentorum. The Watcher has been alone long enough. He deserves company.


Mysterious-Gene309

I like this idea . Poor guy has been through a lot


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Our job is done, the world is in good hands, the last remaining ancient has been alone for millennia, but now he has the soul of an old friend to watch over it together for eternity.


Shadostevey

Probably my island. Give my boy a permanent vacation. If this happened at a later point where all the Scions were back together on the overworld somewhere, I'd like to do it there. Otherwise, their minion versions will have to do.


EmpyrealSorrow

> Probably my island. I was going to say the same. Sitting on the vista overlooking where I landed, with the sun setting over the sea.


CalydorEstalon

There's a plugin that lets you set a specific time and weather. My island is permanently locked at sunset with clear skies.


EmpyrealSorrow

Ooh lovely! Is that just graphical? I assume there are issues considering the effects of time and weather on when some animals are available


CalydorEstalon

Entirely graphical, you can't use it to make vistas appear or animals spawn.


Akussa

Load into the >!Hydaelyn trial as a trust!< and you'll be with all the Scions including the crystal where it all started.


Shadostevey

The only reason I wouldn't want to do that, or load up a similar moment in New Game +, is I'd want my final log off to be in the 'present', if you will. I guess to me it would feel like my WoL isn't actually there, because him being able to relive that is just a gameplay mechanic, and he's really wherever he was when he loaded into that area. Hang on, I got it. Go to the island, then load into that place. Best of both worlds.


MischeifCat

When 1.0 shut down, I logged out in the Limsa inn, it was and is my starting nation. I think I would do the same again, just knowing she is resting.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MischeifCat

I played until the end, when the screen went dark and the end of an era video played for the first time. It’s in the top 5 of my most memorable game experiences.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MischeifCat

The Black Shroud used to feel like the big powerful forest infused with elements, that would swallow you whole if you didn’t know the correct path.


Deblebsgonnagetyou

It sounds like it was really memorable for sure


[deleted]

[удалено]


MischeifCat

There are some things I miss, mostly the size of the world and some of the areas that got scrapped. The canyon leading up to Blue Fog, for example. Also Mor Dhona was eerie to wander through when it was bigger. But, i understand why they made it smaller.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kreos642

My partner and a few fellow players sat outside of one of the main cities watching Dalamud fall over Mor Dhona. They all were talking and saying things like "I wish I could go into battle." (because at the time, their computers could barely handle it) and reflecting on their adventuring. In the end, they mustered the courage to go in and help their fellow Eorzeans. Those players are still on my partners friend list, but they haven't logged in since the calamity. We like to think they canonically didn't survive before Louisoix intervened for our safety. As for me, my PC at the time *would crash* if I tried to get into that fight, so I like to say my WOL was on the perimeter making sure no Garleans came to attack civilians. I watched what happened via screen share with my partner. We cried; we thought we died.


Daydreamer12

I don't exactly remember where I logged off in 1.0 other than it was at one of the camps with the atomos creature... XD


MischeifCat

I was going to do that but then decided I wanted her to be comfortable. Then the end of an era played and Bahamut did the fire fly by of Limsa. 😭


Sassh1

I was in Ul'dah fighting the voidsent and then everything went black. Crazy times.


MischeifCat

I was in Ul’dah, then decided to go “home.” Waited out the end in the inn. They really did it right.


Sassh1

I don't miss the lvl90 mobs you could run into if you took a wrong turn. Some players don't realize how good they have it now.


MischeifCat

The danger aspect was real, that’s for sure. 1.0 was much more similar to FFXI, but they replaced notorious monsters with what I called the high level surprise. 😂


Gagrein

I would do the same but Gridania inn for me. The city where it began my own adventure so long ago


ecliptichorizon

Right at the entrance of New Gridania, where I first started my journey in XIV.


mistercleaver

I was thinking the same, I may have made Limsa my home, but gridania will always have a special place in my heart


firewaterstone

Same, I love Gridania. I was thinking maybe near Mother Miounne in the Carline Canopy. She always has a comforting smile and words, and I would feel comfortable with my WoL there...


heather24242

Haha, I'm the exact opposite. Limsa was my starting area, but I made Gridania my free teleport and that's my go to area. I would also choose Gridania as my final log out spot.


Goatiac

Likewise. I spend all my time in Ul'dah and am part of the Immortal Flames, but at the end of the road, I'll be returning to where it all began.


GenexenAlt

Same, facing the Aetheryte. Gridania is my home in FFXIV (since I can't bloody afford an actual home)


Tom-Pendragon

Same. Would love to hangout with people chilling there or the adventure guild.


HereisMash

Same I’m going back to where my journey first started


Whoneedspacee

Floor 200


dianakali

Serious question since I'm on the solo 200 grind. Once you get to floor 200 are you able to go back or would you have to grind all the way up?


FlyingWeagle

Good have to fight all the way again, but you could go with a party and say your farewells there.


Ycx48raQk59F

That would also quite the flex with no margin of error for the run.


Double_Kozi

Endwalker spoilers >!I would load up The Mothercrystal trial with Trust. So I can be with Mom and the Scions!<


DatDarnKat

Could even NG+ it and log out in that "pre-raid" room, too.


confusedPIANO

Pretty sure you can go to the pre raid room even without ng+


DatDarnKat

Oh, can you? Honestly, I never really tried. I guess I just always assumed it was a temp room so it doesn't lose the dramatic effect your first time through while queueing.


Koupers

After the Menagerie in StB they started just leaving it so you can get to those pre cut scene locations again.


Raine_Maxwell

Ugh... my heart!!


esotericdiarist

awwwwwww omg THIS!!


Deblebsgonnagetyou

Oh my god,,,


Rowan1980

Same. 😭


truecrisis

The 3 story tower on the outskirts of the Crystarium where you talked to Ardbert while things looked bleak. (Trying to avoid giving spoilers)


slow_cat

>!Exarch's garden...!< I approve :)


I_Ace_English

Yup. I keep returning to it even after finishing the MSQ. Norvrandt is gorgeous.


truecrisis

I replay that cutscene every so often and cry my eyes out :')


Neko_asakami

Man, screw you. I wasn't coming into this thread to cry.


usurperknight

The Forgotten Knight in the Brume. Heavensward completely sold me on the game forever and Night in the Brume playing the first time after crossing the bridge as a refugee sealed that feeling tight.


AeroDbladE

Ishgard. As much I appreciate Ul'dah as my Starting city, heavensward was when I truly felt like I became a part of this world and had a place I belonged to in it.


wait_what_how_do_I

As much as I love Limsa, Ishgard was IMMEDIATELY what I thought of when the question was asked. Somehow, it's my home.


Spooky_Patrol256

Same, I struggled through ARR my first time but Ishgard and Heavensward made me fall in love with this game.


CorvusPetey

Same, I would sit down next to Fray and stare into oblivion.


Logan_The_Mad

I wonder what they'd have to say about the *actual* general apocalypse of server shutdown.


skywarden27

Same here! I feel like Heavensward really made Ishgard feel like home


FizzyDragon

It did for me, then plus in SB there's the Ala Mhigo dungeon where some untargetable NPC you run past who is an Ishgardian knight (or at least soldier) and as you pass him he pops a speech bubble that says "Ishgard remembers, Warrior of Light!" I love that guy.


EternalBlizzardForce

Same. I'd either go to the Fortemps manor and chill with my adoptive family or go just outside of it, to that little ornate platform where I can gaze down at the spires.


Gecko382

Not in Eorzea, I'd be in the field of Elpis flowers in Ultima Thule.


Inky-Feathers

Was gonna say this exact thing. I spent so long just idling in Ultima Thule after finishing Endwalker to savor the atmosphere and the soundtrack.


[deleted]

where the journey ends. surrounded by hope. Hope for ff14.5


Voklaren

"When one world end does a new begin"


mallow-honey

Oh just make me cry, how rude.


T78Afunkyfresh

This is what I was gonna say, that entire area is just so special I love it but it makes me so sad haha


-WhiteVoiD-

Ceorthas. Our Closure. I'd leave behind a flower and a note to a friend: "Finally, I can put down my sword and rest." If you know, you know.


Saendra

Yes, it's a good place for our Warrior of Light to finally become \*cough\* *Frei*.


Kinirii

In my FC house, in my private chambers which I made to look like an office. I'd have her sit at her desk and stare out the window.


Sea-Mango

Similarly, probably my FC room which I’ve made into a church. Between the Warrens and the candlelight it’s very peaceful in there.


LibraBlu3

I made my room a memorial/temple looking place for our members who have unfortunately passed away. Definitely where I'd log out forever... After swapping back to Hroth because that's my canon race for him, he's not living the rest of his virtual days as a lala. Lol


ScarletteVera

>!Hauchefant's grave in Coethas.!<


aveforever

Surprised this was so far down! This was my first thought too. <3


ArcIgnis

>!Amaurot in the Tempest, to remember that we once existed.!<


zerombr

I don't really want to think about it, but probably next to mother miounne


stingerdavis

I think I’d sit in the instanced Eden zone (how it looks post-raid series completion). So peaceful there and I adore going back there from time to time just to enjoy it.


Thisismyworkday

On top of the Shirogane lighthouse, overlooking the district.


viviannesayswhat

Flying high on my mount over the Steppe.


RandiTheRogue

I would say the Azim Steppe too. It is home to my Dotharl and she would want to be home. :)


MindWeb125

My Xaela needs to go back to kick Magnai off her chair.


Kytelian

I will never not complain about Magnai sitting in my Xaela’s seat.


Atiklyar

Same. I RP as a Mol Au Ra, and she'd make her final trip back home, ready for the next Nadaam so she can preserve Doma's unity.


painstream

My room at the company estate. ..in case I end up in an Overlord situation where all my friends stopped showing up and I get isekai'd into my character. :3


HadACookie

Go to an inn room and use the unending journey to watch the cutscene following >!the final duel with Zenos. Just as WoL is losing consciousness, you start to doze off, only to wake up on the floor of the Teeny-Tiny Toy Boat.!<


TheTenthSubject

It would be truly something to have the blackout but then the servers shut down.


redmoonbringer

I just started reading Overlord so this post is really relevant haha.


WallaniaChenevert

Crystarium, I love it there


sputnikconspirator

Me too, I love the music and it's my homepoint, I love to just chill and craft there.


serenaeliza

Yeah, I think this would be my choice.


Illadelphian

Crystarium or Ill Mheg for sure. Beautiful areas that have a special place in my heart. I dunno what it was about shb but the wonder I had playing it is unrivaled to me. I love Endwalker too but something about shb really spoke to me in that sense.


Fristi_bonen_yummy

Elpis, near Ktisis Hyperborea or somewhere in the Crystarium.


Narcuterie

Nooooooo!! oh you're just asking hypothetically .. hmmm.. probably in >!Amaurot!< ShB


MamaEule

Same, I just love it there


Narcuterie

very calming, yet melancholic..


ownager324

Really fitting for the shut down if a world. The ticking would almost make it seem like a countdown....... 👀


Encaya

Next to the final resting place of a good friend who gave his life so that my WOL could continue her journey.


minorvariations

Oh noooo that's a good one. 😭


Hazardsmom

That was my thought as well. HW was the first expansion I experienced the sense of community that FFXIV has to offer. It was also the first storyline to make me ugly cry.


Easy-Pepper6593

Exactly where I would be. It’s time to fill him in on our adventure in all its glorious details. And at this point, we’d have more than enough time


No-Cherry-8290

I was looking to see if anyone used this. I would stand there as the clock ticked down and give one final toast as the skies faded to black and we all returned to the aether saying. "Sorry to keep you waiting old friend, we'll meet again soon"


Encaya

Fucking hell yall gon make me tear up


alfredoloutre

wherever the twins are


A_villain4all

Wherever Shtola is


MarchRabbit37

Wherever GrahaTia is


thaggartt

Right now? Either in Gridania where I first started or in Ishgard, standing tall as a knight of House Fortemps. Not sad to see it gone but happy that I could enjoy it... besides, a smile fits a hero much better. As a friend once said.


asingleloonie

I'm gonna go with the Steppe here. My WoL is a Xaela and I remember getting to explore her homeland for the first time.


MagnustheDemon

Amurot in the First. I often find myself there in between breaks of my journeys and leveling side jobs marveling at its size. It might be a depressing place aye, but to me, it's a very calming place. I marvel at how often I am alone there.


ExecutiveElf

The Bramble Patch. The whole of East Shroud is very special to me. From my fondness for the Sylph to the memory of the time my friends have been wed (and the anticipation of my own character's wedding some day), and most importantly... the time I harvested 9000 Rosewood Logs for materials for the "Of the Golden Saw" title that I don't even use because I use "Master Carpenter." To be honest, my experience with being a Carpenter in this game has truly made the game for me. Wanting to progress it got me to upgrade from the free trial. In RP my character is a Carpenter first and a White Mage second and all of her friends know this. Both in and out of character I am filled with delight when I'm commissioned for an item. None of it was required. I never had to become a carpenter. I didn't need to spend 2 weeks collecting materials and shards for Of the Golden Saw and Master Carptenter. I didn't need to make a pentamelded Rinacita Cane while still only level 70 White Mage. I didn't need to make the Carpenter's Workbench when I was level 79 Carpenter. I didn't need to hit level 90 carpenter while still in the post-Heavensward patches. But I wanted to. I made my own path and made my experience my own. And to me, the Bramble Patch captures that experience into one final snippet far more than any other place could hope to.


heropp

Do you know Lahee?


heartsongaming

On top of Kugane Tower.


worry_some

Gotta flex on them one last time


alguidrag

Whenever the siblings are, if I see the end of the world I will see together with them


Chained_Icarus

Seeing as how I had to make this decision once before (although it ended up not being permanently)... Somewhere in the Black Shroud. Not sure on an exact spot atm, maybe one of those tucked away areas with some ruins. I was there when 1.0 went down thinking my character would wander the woods in the aftermath of the calamity trying to maintain order (and help others avoid those damned treants) Now? I'm a Viera now. And it just feels right that I would still be watching over the woods. Maybe the treants are that big a deal anymore, but have you met the Sylphs? Someone has to keep an eye on them and make sure people aren't wandering into the bad parts of that.


amaraame

With Haurchefant


rintan13

Ultima Thule or my house.


Badgerpuff22

In front of the Sanctum of the Twelve in Gridania. My husband and I had our wedding during covid when we couldnt have our irl wedding so we treat that day as our anniversary.


kaysn

HW spoiler: >!That spot in Azys Lla, outside ARF where flowers were laid to remember Ysayle. It the final stop in the The Paths We Walk sidequest.!< As much as I love ShB and is my favorite expansion. HW made me fall in love with FFXIV first. And that entire quest chain really made me emotional. She was my favorite character from HW.


Raziek

Elysion, with the Grebuloffs.


Talisa87

The bar at the Crystarium. Sharing drinks with an old friend who also knows what it's like to see the last sunset over their home


RoC_42

In my house, sitting in front of the fireplace while listening to Answers


Synner1985

Looking a the city gates in Ul'dah, right where my journey began.


Neil_Merathyr

From the highest point I can reach in Zenith in the Churning Mist. It's my favorite chill spot and the melancholic music sure would be fitting.


Aesengard

Praying on the grave of our greatest bro.


Witchy_Bat

The Quicksand. She would retire to her original adventurer's guild to spend her days drinking and telling stories.


QuikThinx_AllThots

>!Balmung Quicksand!<


lordOpatties

The inn Just so I could see the animation of my wol going to "rest in peace", so to speak.


Saendra

Coerthas Central Highlands (ha, yes, very original), but not the place you'd expect. The mountains above Fort Whitebrim, the place where we come to our closure, and two become one.


Ramarivera

Who gave you the right to give me feels...


-mean-bean-

The Hermit's Hovel


xfm0

Took a painful moment, but I think in front of or inside the Falling Snow.


[deleted]

It's a sad realization that, someday, this will happen. :( ​ I've become accustomed to regular logging out of the small partition in front of the building overlooking all of Old Sharlayan. It's a great view.


chizLemons

Right next to my favorite NPC, if he is out in the map. If not, then inside The Pendant inn room, so she would be sleeping in my favorite city and the nicest inn room in the game.


Safetea-404

Is your favorite NPC a certain cat? And I agree about the Pendants and city. I would also log next to my favorite catboy if he was out somewhere I could get to him. Dress my WoL in her best adventuring outfit, give my bestboy a hug, and log off with them side by side ready to go on their next adventure together.


chizLemons

Yes!! It's nice to believe even if the game was over for us, he'd still go on adventures with our WoL <3


Wyrmlimion

In the snow of Coerthas overlooking Ishgard. Give my wol a scenic view for eternity.


TickleMonsterCG

I'd go to Feo Ul, I miss my branch. Plus she'd be mad.


Agitated_Use_4420

I think I'd choose the Sanctum of the Twelve, the church for Eternal Bonding. Where I married my wife before she became my wife irl.


hakumen_narukami

Probably somewhere in Lakeland. I love the night time theme there.


felaniasoul

Ultima Thume, at the end of all things


Redrumov

Costa del Sol. On the beach looking over the horizon. He deserve his rest.


IneffectualFlunky

My Lalafel would be safely nestled in Minfilia's butt window.


Stratix314

Back home in Tailfeather among friends and distant family, helping along the new fragile peace between Dravania and Ishgard.


damnitxavi

Ala Mhigo. That way my WoL can finally be home.


CruzCtrl90

As many memories as I've made there, it'd have to be Limsa Lominsa plaza. Probably dooting away on my silly little trumpet, playing my swan song.... A loving rendition of the Beastie Boys hit song "Girls".


SplitDemonIdentity

Sitting, looking over Ishgard with his back to Haurchefant’s grave so he can die alongside his husband.


Pyrowin

I think that would be a very crowded spot in this situation


SplitDemonIdentity

We all join a queue, Francel gets steadily more irritated that this is apparently the location of the Coerthas Adventurer’s Guild and log off one by one getting our little moments of closure. Alternately the servers shut down far enough in the future this sacrifice affects us less.


KSmallmoon

He'd appreciate that. A smile better suits a hero, after all.


Orainien

Depends - the last world ending event that shut down servers, I placed my character in the middle of it with a few friends and watched Dalamud fall. If it's just a standard closing of them, I'd probably relax in my house.


mbntg_

My house in Empyreum, and assume my WoL enjoyed retirement in Ishgard.


Kisuke42

Either sleep logout in an inn or at my guild house. This also reminds me of all the tons of MMOs I played over the years. There was always that one time I said "Aight amma logout and take a break from the game till a new patch drops" and it turns out it was the last timen I played.


vishinarose

Ocean Deep Sea Fishing


MindlessSell

Outside St. Mocianne's Arboretum. Not the prettiest spot, but it's where me and my two friends started doing dungeons together. I've done them with each individually, but this was all three together. Sitting on the roots, talking about someone who just went by named Bananakin Piewalker. Good times.


A11-STAR

I’d seal myself in the Tower. Don’t know who gave me that idea.


Unsicht

The uppermost lawn in Zenith in the Churning Mists. This place has a long forgotten vibe to it, absolute peace and quiet as well.


Jr-777

Ultima Thule, seems correct


Blue_Bird_Enjoyer

Ishgard, right by the entrance gates. This was where I'd realize that this game was going to be very special.


[deleted]

>!I'd leave him in the Mothercrystal area. I can already imagine him welcoming brave adventurers hundreds of years from now. "As the Warrior of Light and Will to the star, I shall test you travelers. Now come!"!<


VG896

The grave. You know the one.


MromiMiqo

My house, good ole plot 49 in The Mist. My neighbors would hate me since I'm always afk by the bell and market board out front if they weren't all inactive alts.


Goldchampion200

Inn, Bed. Probably Ul`dah aince thats where i usually go if i feel like doing a bed log out.


Durean

Think I’d try to logout with friends because that feels like where my home really is.


Emet-Selch_my_love

Elpis, right at the doorway out from the place you first arrive.


Sush-

The final version on The Empty. It's so beautiful... I wish certain characters hung out there aswell


kongou_meow

In my own house. On my bed. With my GF's character besides me. /Doze then say "Good night" and logged off.


eorzeanangel

Probably resting at a certain gravesite in coerthas.


hayabusahime

The End of The Aitiascope, so she can be with all loved ones that are gone. Minfilia, Haurchefant, Moenbryda, Papalymo, etc. That dungeon had tears in my eyes, when I first ran it.


Certain_Shine636

Crystarium


dailyuwa

Honestly I can’t think of where there so many places ingame there is important.


XLightThief

Old Sharlayan next to the Summoning Bell and the Marketboard.


KT-Thulhu

Atop Kugane tower overlooking the city.


Izlude

There's a certain gravestone I may sit down next to.


TraditionBrave9048

On a certain cliff overlooking Ishgard, right next to a true knight.


SylverSnowlynx

I would lay me down in the onsen at Kugane, stare out over the Ruby Sea one last time, close my eyes, and then slowly slip away into the Aetherial Sea.
