Let\u0026rsquo;s just say my ears are still recovering lmao, and I\u0026rsquo;m not even mad about it.\nApparently over 70k people showed up from all over the world, which is wild. I was in the middle of it all, camera glued to my face, trying to catch every little bit of the magic. These photos are my way of bottling up those two insane days - 7 and 8 January 2024 - so we can jump back in whenever we want.\nCosplay\rEvent\r","date":"2024-01-10T23:46:50+09:00","image":"https://elypha.com/posts/2024-01-ffxiv-fanfest-tokyo-2024/cover.5b5c17cb2c368a671dcf285691f34744_hu_b29dab71b76d6019.jpg","permalink":"https://elypha.com/posts/2024-01-ffxiv-fanfest-tokyo-2024/","title":"FFXIV Fanfest Tokyo 2024"},{"content":"18 September 2023\r","date":"2023-10-18T21:12:39+09:00","image":"https://elypha.com/posts/2023-10-shimokitazawa/cover.7493054aebfaf7670c48885dd49c8ee3_hu_c39c0ebe3c2b8480.jpg","permalink":"https://elypha.com/posts/2023-10-shimokitazawa/","title":"Shimokitazawa"},{"content":"Introduction\rTucked away in Richmond lies the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
