Toi Toi Pictures is one of the best machinima groups dedicated to Square Enix’s MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, and today they have a special treat to celebrate Christmas.
Posted as usual by YouTube user ZANEKONPU, a new short movie titled “Eorzea of the Dead” has been released, and it’s both adorable and creepy, with a neat horror vibe that will remind you of some classic Christmas horror movies.
In Japan chicken is pretty much a Christmas staple food, especially considering that KFC managed to gaslight everyone into believing that its stuff is what Americans eat with family during the Holidays with a marketing campaign started in the seventies.
Today’s short shows what happens when the chicken come back to take revenge.
You can watch it below and see just how good it is.
Veteran Final Fantasy XIV fans may not be surprised by the quality of the cinematography, Toi Toi Pictures has already released plenty of great machinima, including Play Eorzea, Tomorrows, /emote, and Retainer.
You’ll also see some characters from their past videos making a comeback, which is an additional treat.
Final Fantasy XIV is currently available for PS5, PS4, PC, and Mac, while a brand-new Xbox Series X|S version will finally launch next year with an open beta starting in January. If you’re interested in giving it a try, you can purchase a copy on Amazon.
Recently, fans enjoyed a new Fan Festival in London and an Eorzean Symphony Orchestra Concert in the British capital as well.
The next expansion titled “Dawntrail” is coming next summer, and it will bring a new dual-wielding job named “Viper.” A second new job will be revealed at the next Fan Festival in Tokyo in January. TechRaptor will be in attendance, so you can expect plenty of coverage from us.
