At least in terms of the photographs I tend to take in Final Fantasy XIV, of the three expansions currently released for the online game, Heavensward offers the least in terms of environments to spark the imagination. However, a highlight the expansion offers compared to even later releases is the trial Containment Bay P1T6 featuring the primal Sophia.
It might look like a simplistic area at first, but following the phase transition, you are treated to one of the game’s most beautiful photographic backdrops in terms of lighting and scenery. If you haven’t attempted taking a photo on the arena, I would recommend trying to do so. Just wait until you finish the battle… or you might just be punted off the stage at a moments notice.
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.
