Voting for the Alter Ego Design Campaign Begins! (07/13/2020)

We'd like to thank you all for your submissions to the Alter Ego Design Campaign – One Venturous Tarutaru! With the help of adventurers like you, we may soon be able to answer the troubled Moogle's inquiries about the supposedly famous Tarutaru known as Matsui-P.

"Thanks to you adventurers, Mog has a better understanding of this Tarutaru named Matsui-P, kupo! But Mog still needs just a teeny-tiny bit more information to complete this Trust, kupo. Tell Mog which version of Matsui-P you'd like to bring along on your adventures, kupo!"

We now ask all adventurers across Vana'diel to cast your votes for the alter ego you'd like to have on your side during your adventures!
The alter ego with the most votes will be implemented in-game for a limited time!
We have some comments from the development team regarding the alter ego's in-game behaviors if implemented, which may be helpful when making your decision.

Voting is open to everyone, so feel free to cast your vote!
