When they visit Final Fantasy XIV clubs, players usually bring their best party glamour, but on October 30th, players wore their best Morbol green, played games from the popular Korean TV show Squid Game, and presented gil to the Winner.
Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are bustling times at the Final Fantasy XIV Clubs, located in the many sections of player dormitories. Sometimes a group of players will turn their Free Society house into a club, but this group of players turned the house into a Squid Game for an epic night of parties and games. Players joined the in-game party and received Morbol Green to make the game participants look beautiful.
When you entered the club, you could see the iconic bunk beds to the left and right and in front of them a staircase where a few DJs spent the night. As the game cooled off, players listened to Twitch DJs and danced to the music while gorgeous pink players kept watch and even VIPs showed up at the club.
The Squid Game Party is not just a show, the players have to participate
Approximately every 10 minutes, players are brought into a room and asked to play one of the games from the television series. Each game has its own room where players can use the /random command to roll a number between 1 and 999. Depending on the rules, the player must roll a certain number to continue the game. The elements of role-playing and fantasy come into play as there isn't a huge range of games to choose from other than rolling the dice, but players still have a lot of fun.
In the red light green light room, players must roll over 400 to advance to the next point in the room. When they scroll down, they use the /sit or /playdead command to indicate that they have exited the game. Players who make it to the bottom re-roll, with the highest player winning 1 million gil.
The floor of the room is marked with each milestone and even has the iconic doll seen in the bottom right corner in front of it.
Shapes are marked on the walls of the hive room, each representing a threshold to be reached when rolling. If they rolled within the threshold they managed to cut the shape out of the sugar hive, if not they broke it and were killed. The remaining survivors play for the prize of 1 million FFXIV gil.
The tug-of-war was played above the field, which loosened up the game a bit and placed the decoration in the "emptiness" above the house. The players chose a side, and the game masters made sure it was fair. Then the players roll the dice. The person who rolled the lowest value lost the entire team's game and had to jump "to their death". Those who didn't fall could compete for the Gil prize.
The most impressive room in the whole house is the Marble Hall. Not only can the player immediately identify what it is, but the room is so impeccably decorated that the player is so busy looking around and commenting on its beauty that the game is undoubtedly the longest of all.
Players are asked to find a partner and roll the dice at random. The person who rolls the lowest value "dies" and the survivor rolls for the prize. As in Squid Game, some friendships will be put to the test in this game.
