I ran Aglaia for the first time tonight! Buuut... I decided to invite as many friends as possible! Pictured here as a number of folks from the Cohost FFXIV community, folks from my FC, my polycule and members of their FC, and a personal friend of mine! Together, we filled the entire alliance!
It was... so, so much fun. I'm very thankful to be surrounded by so many bright communities and wonderful folks. This was a very good time, and I hope to do something similar with Euphrosyne and Thaleia too. <3

I also wanna let everyone know that we were originally thinking we'd do a MINE (min ilevel, no echo) run so that Juli could have the Authentic Aglaia Experience of being praised by [final boss redacted] (and also experience the other fights as they were originally designed) but it turns out that MINE is not available as a setting for current expac alliance raids for some reason. >:V
so instead we were all like "I guess we can play badly on purpose then??" .....cue stuff still falling over REALLY FAST even with folks taking their hands off of the keyboard, going 123123123 ad infinitum, or pushing buttons at random. clearly they needed to add intra-alliance PvP like in Puppets' Bunker
(we did still see [final boss mechanic] with HP to spare! hooray!)
