Which thread talked about the FFXIV TTRPG?

Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing. I could only think it was just something to highlight the 'Vote for most anticipated' thread.

Precisely that. I was going to use an image from 13th Age 2nd Ed, but I couldn't find an image for it that I was 100% sure was from 2nd Ed. Granted, I only spent about 5 minutes looking, but it was the last thing holding up publication so decided to switch to another title instead of spending more time hunting for art.

Strangely enough, my fiancee is highly anticipating both games.
