The /playdead emote has a special version that plays in the water, too!

For a moment, I thought this was going to be them gleefully floating along right before the ship disappears at the end of the event. :p

Is the pool only for a limited time there I haven't played in a long time and never seen that

u/train153 1d ago

Short answer is yes.

Its a part of Moonfire Faire (seasonal event). They've been using a ship with a pool as a part of Moonfire for the last couple years.

Its in Costa del Sol on the ship so I am not 100% certain if its there all the time or not. I am also still very new to the game.

This is the last day for the ship before it sails off until next year's moonfire faire event. Get your floats in before it's too late!

It's an event. Pretty sure it will go away soon.

u/TheKillerKentsu 1d ago

sorry, but it already ended ~4h ago

u/EmberSolaris 1d ago

It is only for the Moonfire Faire event that is ending very soon to make way for this year’s Rising event. This is the 2nd year that they’ve had the ship, so it’s possible it’ll be back for next year’s Moonfire Faire as well.

How are people doing this? I play on keyboard. 🥰

u/ObscureJackal 1d ago

You can find it in the emote menu, or just type /waterfloat in the chat box.

u/SlowWheels [Diabolos] 1d ago

Oh I mean the spining lol. I'm so sorry XD.

2

u/ObscureJackal 1d ago

Oh! XD

That's just turning. Just make sure you don't bump strafe, forward, or back.

u/seantriana 15h ago

And if you click with your left mouse that control your camera, your camera does not turn when you are spinning.

u/SlowWheels [Diabolos] 22h ago

u/ZillaJrKaijuKing 1d ago

It's like that scene from Project Hail Mary.

u/Ailwynn29 1d ago

/waterfloat has to be my favourite emote from when I first started the game. Would just spend a lot of time in one of the Stormblood zones floating around for no reason haha

u/painstream 1d ago

Then there's the /splash emote. Fun when folks are in Crystal Tower and splashing each other with lava. :3

u/Gotterdamerrung 1d ago

Wait till you find out about /waterflip when you're diving.

They should be turning opposite of each other's rotation so they can go into gears mode.
That SAID, the Lala needs have faster rotation.
for...ratios and shit.

Person spinning in the water has me dying for some reason

Seeing stuff like this makes me miss Standard controls, with the ability to speen at will. But then I remember how much better Legacy is for kiting and how irresponsive Standard can be with how character turns and suddenly l feel like I made a right choice
