After a scorching hot summer which here in Australia resulted in a significant bushfire crisis and more than a few days my seeking solace locked away in an airconditioned room, have got to say I am glad that autumn is now upon us. But as we bid farewell to the season for another nine months, I would like to use the next couple of days to showcase a photoshoot I did in Final Fantasy XIV, when my characters took a trip to the pristine beaches of Costa del Sol. Was nice using a race other than Lalafells for this photoshoot, especially given the selection of swimwear and other beach attire which have been offered over the game’s lifetime.
Take That (In-Game) Snap Daily Photo is an off-shoot of the Take That (In-Game) Snap article series, in which the first article focusing on Final Fantasy XIV was recently published. This looks at, celebrates and critiques how video game developers have implemented professional photography-like systems into their games. It will cover how the systems handle, just how accessible they are and, where applicable, how a modding community might be making these tools even better. With this Daily Photo spin-off series, I will be sharing individual photos from the games either covered or soon-to-be-covered in the series.
