Announcing the Casting Call Contest! (08/13/2014)
In continuation of the one year anniversary celebration, the development team is recruiting background talent to appear around the realm in places like the main scenario, Hildibrand quests, and other scenes that will be implemented in patch 2.4! Think you know the perfect character to act as the NPC lifting rocks in the background while the Scions talk about saving Eorzea? Or perhaps you know the right fit for one of the characters cheering and clapping for you when you finish doing something worthwhile. Don’t worry, there is no need to act or audition; just send us a portfolio consisting of different screenshots of your character or a character you feel should appear in a scene along with a short explanation. We’ll be choosing up to 14 extras and putting them to work on the big-screen!
