Final Fantasy 14is rapidly becoming the MMORPG of choice for many players. A true success emerging from failure story, the game sees players travelling its world, enjoying its engaging story and soundtrack, and pursuing therarest mounts inFinal Fantasy 14with focus.
However, some of the best parts ofFinal Fantasy 14are not coded into the game by the developers, but rather created wholesale by the players. TheFinal Fantasy 14community is notoriously fun-loving, and they have some seriously creative ways of entertaining. Case in point: two in-game cosplayers bent on bringing joy to other players through the magic of chicken.

Thanks to a robust costume system,detailedFinal Fantasy 14cosplayis not limited to outside the game. One player, who goes by Vard, regularly cosplays as Colonel Sanders within the game itself, copying the iconic look of the KFC mascot to a tee. With a huge white tophat and pure white suit, plus the iconic facial hair, Vard photobombs other players occassionally with hilarious antics. These are often accompanied by another player who dresses up as a giant chicken, the Colonel’s arch-nemesis. When the two meet, feathers fly.
The duo have a number of small clips shot that show off their comedy, and it’s pretty good. One bit shows the chicken climb into a wall using a pre-programmed motion, only for Vard as the Colonel to get thrownout. Another shows the chicken spinning silently atop a fire. One of thethings everyone should know before startingFinal Fantasy 14is that the community is very inclusive and loves having fun with multiple players. So it’s not a surprise when one player stepped up to the rotating chicken and, joining in the joke, spewed fire all over them.
This is hardly the first time a player has ambushed others with a detailed, comedic costume and attitude inFinal Fantasy 14. Recently, a differentplayer dressed up as Todd Howard at Lunarconand tried to sell festival goers copies ofSkyrimwithinFinal Fantasy 14.
Incidentally, Vard is also prepared to sell something: anyone who asks him for some KFC will receive the item equivalent of a $5 in-game. It’s nice to know that whenmanyFinal Fantasy 14players cause chaos, it’s usually in a fun and creative way. From copies ofSkyrimto KFC, players are brightening a fantasy world with fantasies of their own.
Final Fantasy 14is available now on PC, PS4, and PS5.
