Masha

PHOENIX NIGHTS! I can't express to you how much it feels to be standing here, surrounded by all of you. My Staff behind me. It's been an absolutely unforgettable journey and no doubt we will continue to carve out new amazing experiences!I want to thank all of you here for coming tonight and i'm super excited to us all standing here but in our new home over in Mist.
Almost a year ago, I started playing this game. I fell in love with everything about it, especially the people, the friends and this fantastic community that stands behind the game. It wasn't too long after starting I actually became a Limsarite and made friends the various afkers.And not too long after I met Vivi, and Aru who would introduce me to the gambling behind it and I fell in love with that. I started thinking of ideas in my head, could this be something awesome? Why does it have to be in Limsa?SO I approached Becca and Rhaya, told them of some crazy, stupid idea to open a Casino in a housing lot. I am surprised they followed me and supported me behind my delusions
I could safely say, I wasn't as delusional as I thought because I look at what has happened now and I feel so privileged to stand here amongst an incredibly talented group of people, party goers and rpers.
So thank you so much to Becca & Rhaya (who isn't here at the moment) - thank you for making this dream of mine a reality. A sprouts fantasy haha
I can't express how much I appreciate you guys for standing by me.Then a little bit later, I messaged Light, who funnily enough I hadn't messaged for a long time. I asked her to join me on this crazy thing to help sort out the Discord
She has done so much more than that, she is mindstorm behind the organisation of Phoenix Nights and the community server
She has seen me at my lows and my peaks, and through it all has treated me the same. Supported my daft and crazy decisions. And she's got the confidence to say no to me when i'm about to do something stupid (Because I do a lot of stupid things)
So thank you, I love you so much. You are a beacon of light ;DTo Kira: What can I say, week by week, we stood together and worked to build the Casino in something stronger. You have no doubt made it into something incredibly special. I don't say it often but I am so proud to have someone like you by my side. Your mind, your work ethic is such a strength to my heart because you know i'm not always right.To Jessica: I remember when we asked you to join the management team. I knew there was no one else I wanted, and I knew we had made the right decision. Despite the unfortunate time of Royal, you stayed with us and we worked on to make something special. Creating out Kings & Queens. You are a blessing to this team, a fucking great shoulder to cry on and spill some secrets and talk about things to. Thanks for believing in me, and i'm so happy we can finally make FC Rooms for you ♥To Serena: If there's one thing I learned about you Serena, is how much we needed someone like you on our team. I saw the talent and now, we have some incredible Editions behind our belts. Some amazing events you helped deliver. The problems we have solved and just beind there to make the millions of posts we do each week. You are a beautiful foundation to what the Phoenix Nights experience is now!
To Kuma: He's not here but I know and I hope he will see this. As I move through this next chapter with the team, I have not forgotten what you helped bring to Phoenix Nights. This security team is amazing, I love them with every bone of my body. They deal with so much and you need to know that! See you soon sweetheart ♥️To Fili: You crazy little cat. I love you, I know how much you wanted a large plot and the amount of stress I give you when I say I needed another table and no matter what you pull it off one way or another. Thank you for putting up with me, I know it's certainly not easy! I look forward to the design of the new club, Vegas baby ♥️To P4NTH3R: Let me DJ and I will do a proper speech for you
I'm joking, thank you for taking a leap of faith. I still have the fond memory of messaging you on Discord and asking for a favour and 2 days later you installed FFXIV and jumped straight into DJin. I can safely say, it was worth it right? You are amazing, thanks for choosing the music because I don't have taste hahaTo Veera: What a lovely addition to the management team you are. Thank you so much for jumping and organising everything bar side, from the menu design to its organisation - it's no easy task sometimes. Certainly something I wouldn't be very good at. But I am so proud to have you as part of this team, with your knowledge and talent behind making drinks. And congrats last week ♥️To Jun: I don't know what it is about you Jun, but you are so sweet, not a bad bone in your body. You stuck by me over some difficult times, and had my back. It was so heartwarming to see I had an amazing friend in you. I thank you so much for that, and for those who don't know; Jun manages the Casino across the week, bringing Phoenix Nights across multiple venues!To Esther: I love Phoenixmon, I love you. You are incredibly talented, and your game design behind (secret project) is going to blow everyones minds. I can't wait, you are a credit to this Team and clearly very wanted by a lot of people. Also Aura Esther pls???I won't list all the Staff separately but I want to say thank you so much to this fucking amazing group of people. There is genuinely more of us but for those working tonight and have made it. You are incredible, to have the privilege to work alongside each and every one of you has been an awesome journey and I am so proud to take you with me to a new chapter of Phoenix Nights.For those no longer with us, thank you for being with me in the past. I know there may have been hardships or disagreements but I can't turn away from the stuff we have acheived together. So an honourary mention to those who are no longer with us!I would like to also thank some certain people in the community. The owners from Encore & NOIZ. Puchi, Syrene you guys are an absolute blessing to this community. It wasn't always as clear cut in the past but I am so good to be able to call you guys my friends and a part of this closer knit family in this community. I love you guys, it's awesome and I hope we can work on some amazing things together
To our other partners, Fortuna, Singularity, Crystal Panda, Endless Nights, Enigma, Dawn of Phoenix, The A'leycat, Oceanis - thank you all for helping us bring some experiences together.You guys are super fucking talented. To the DJs aswell, those who have played and yet to play. Thank you all so fucking muchAnd Lastly;
The community, because without you. We are nothing, we can't be this. You guys make this so much more special, the talks I see in Limsa of people talking about a Casino that opens on Sundays

Light

When Masha randomly hit me up in September after months of not talking, i was not aware of what i would get myself into. First only here to clean up the discord, I quickly had way more stuff to do than i would ever imagine a Casino in Final Fantasy would need.
I wanna thank all of our Staff for being the amazing people that you all are. Each and everyone of you has a special place in my heart. Reading all these stories I can't help but shed a few tears, not believing what we went through together the past months.
No matter if it's watching movies with Kira, annoying Jessica late at night with a million pings or playing league with Esther, Hadrin and all the other people (feel pinged), you all made this a very special time that I won't be able to forget, ever.
I hope we can continue and improve what we do in the future, I am honestly super excited for the new venue ♥

Rebecca

I remember discussing the idea of offering premium gambling games with Masha circa August 2021. We were mostly having fun with the concept while meming to begin with, not taking it too seriously at first. But still, we felt it was something that could be really fun and could also interest a lot of people. Some simple and classic gambling games have been around for a while (classic casino, DR, ...) and those were as popular as ever. Could we do more with our clumsy fingers ?
In September, the idea was still vivid in our minds so we decided to go for it and started building it from scratch. We didn't follow a model and a lot of things we needed didn't exist at all. We contacted friends inside and outside the game. We got lucky. Everyone was extremely talented and before we knew it we ended up with the very first version of PN. We crafted new casino games, we found our first talented game hosts, we decorated this goblet 8/8 venue with a gorgeous casino in it, we built processes to keep everything organized, we built our brand, we built tools to help us make it all work, we discovered gifted DJs, we hired lovely entertainers, ... all in the span of a few days.
It wasn't perfect and until the last second on our opening day we weren't sure we thought of everything. We didn't feel completely ready and above all, we weren't sure people would even show up. What if nobody came ? What if we built all of this for nothing ?
Opening was slow, we didn't have that many people, we were that new kid in school, only a few people had heard of us. Then it happened. 1,... 2, ....5, 10 ! .. Patrons arrived, a lot of them. All curious, eager, excited, risk-takers, adventurers and gambling addicts lining up to see what was happening in that strange house. Suddenly, we were at capacity. The new era of gambling was born and we somehow were in the center of it. To be honest it was all going in slow motion for us, we couldn't believe the excitement and we loved every second of it. I remember being on Voice Chat and everyone was like "What's happening? That's crazy !". Felt right, still does. ☑️
Thank you for having us 😇

Kira

What can I say, It all started by chance. Being incredibly bored in game I stumbled across a post, one for a casino.
Back then I was a loner for sure, playing since 1.0 I mainly stuck with my raid team and just did content, I had no interest in the social stuff. I came along as a gamba addict, something to do I thought. It was there I first saw what the community had to offer, it blew me away. The fun I had with Zale, Jean, Rancid and Catnip playing at Caiyah's table.This was the first club/casino I ever attended. And it got me hooked, the people had me hooked.
Eventually I applied for a job, I didn't think it would last long, I thought I'd get bored and probably just leave after a few weeks. I was wrong. The support I received from Rebecca, Masha and Light blew me away, I'd entered a community, maybe I found a home of sorts. Eventually after hosting for weeks I woke up to a message telling me, you're manager now. I didn't have a choice in the matter by the way it was put. But in a way I was glad xD
It was in this position that I met my lovely team of Game Hosts, the people I've come to treasure so much, that put in so many hours. They always try their best, and never let me down. I've seen this place at it's worse and I've seen it at it's best, I remember at one point we barely had a table full on the casino floor, we all worked ridiculously hard to change this. And now here we are, the place I call home moving to a new venue.With my work mounting and the rapid expansion of the casino, I had two very special people offer their help to me. Esther and Jun what can I say, you both have saved me from possibly several mental breakdowns working here. You both have no idea how much I appreciate the time and effort you put in ^^ I couldn't have done this without you both. Thank you.To the lovely Management team, it's been a journey, one which I feel we've bonded together through. Not a day goes by where something isn't happening and I'd like to give each of you a special mention.
Jessica for her kindness and brainstorming ideas with me, one day I'm sure she'll turn my -2 erp skills into a +
Serena for her organisation skills and always being reliable, you brought life to our venue.
Panther for opening my mind to different types of music, and helping me get through a shift when the chips are low.
Kumamon for being a friend, our discussions about life, and always just appearing as soon as Drugs or sex are mentioned ;)
Veera for joining the management team and getting stuck in, the bar has never been stronger and we're all so thankful for that I wish you the best of luck in the new ultimate!
Fili, you always bring a smile to my face. Nice helmet.
Light, you've become a very good friend of mine, many nights have we spent playing other games, watching movies (or porn as you claim) I have alot of time and respect for you, thank you, you get shit done.
Masha, damn Masha have we suffered, I love it, so many happy memories, so many nights of me being at wits end trying to find that solution, you were always there to lend an ear, and your leadership has seen us through the rough times, I love the way you think and your optimism, we have so much in store for everyone, the future is bright.
Rebecca, none of this would be possible with out you, your technical mind has given us the ability to run games without fear, any issues you're there to solve them. And with support you continue to develop them, in your own time. Thank you <3And so the journey continues, thanks for giving this loner a place to call home ♥

Jessica

It all started back when i worked at a venue called Royal, i was a dancer there that did a collab with PN, one of the dancers at PN got curious of what i do, so they hired me alongside a friend of theirs, later that night my old boss said they were from PN and i almost had a panic attack because i heard about the two venues doing a collab.To make the story somewhat short Royal sadly closed, i felt alone, lost, that it would never be the same again, at this time i did visit PN once and saw how nice this community is and wanted to be a part of it, i contacted this person who i shall not name because i respect privacy! but i'm glad she helped me apply, and from there i met Masha and Light.I consider all of the Staff my online family, i'm so thankful to be a part of all of this from the bottom of my heart.I feel it's only right to tell the tale of Shy and Yuki when they came on my first shift at PN to cheer on me, even tho they diden't fully understand what it was all about, does anyone here remember the old entertainer rooms :D? i do, they were a glitched smol room that was hidden away from plain sight, but if you were on the upper floor you could somewhat glitch the camera to see what happend in that lewd room, and yes Yuki did this to see what i did to a client, (i'm sorry unamed client <3) but i do remember Yuki going into my dm's asking what i did to this person.
Later they both asked me how they could apply and i took them in with open arms, look how far they both have come, from being curious cuties to full on thots ❤️ i'm a proud mommy bun.I remember the event close to Xmas when Kumamon was our Santa putting people on the good or naughty list and a certain femroe were on the naughty list, she had the courage to ask me to get spanked and i'm glad she did.I do also remember Serena first night at PN, she was working the nightclub bar and did an amazing work, she later became a very close friend of mine.Sareilia , where to start with you? if i would get one gil for each time you call me dummy i'd be more rich then Jean or Kira... she started out as a friend and later on became one of my best friends, i heard that Kira was looking for a dealer and i knew how smart and cheerful Lia is, i gave Kira a DM and i'm glad she got the job ❤️Veera , i've told you before but i do remember your first night at PN and you were working security, it took me TO LONG to connect the dots.. i saw the horns and the name somehow rang a bell far away, at the very end of the night it was like OOOOHHHH! yeah i'm a dummy :xLight, you've always been here for me when i needed someone to talk to and i appreciate all the hard work you do behind the shadows.Kira , i've always looked up on you for taking care of the dealers of PN, you say whats on your mind without a second thought and i respect that about you.Masha, I do remember the interview i had with you, i was not able to speak on discord due to having family over, i knew from that convo i had with you that this was the place for me, you mentioned every single staff in that meeting and it felt like you cared and i still feel this when we talk, you are the best boss someone could ever wish forTo all of the staff, thank you for being you, you make PN what it is. hugs and bunlove Jess.

Serena

There's a lot I could say but I'm going to try not to make a HUGE post but it's probably still a lot xDPhoenix Nights was the first club venue I ever visited after getting curious about a /shout in Limsa one day, and after all this time it's still the most fun place to be, with the most passionate and friendly staff and guests. I fell in love with this place the first time I was here, and I'm so happy I got the chance to work alongside all the staff here and become part of the team to make Sunday nights special.Thank you to everyone for showing up each week and thank you to everyone who puts in so much work and time to this experience, both in the past and in the future. I'm not as close to most of you as I'd like to be, and some of you I've barely spoken to. Sometimes I even feel like a bit of an outsider still and I know I don't stand out as much as some of the big personalities here.. But, I've still met a bunch of awesome people both in the staff and the guests, and I hope to get to know more of you in future.I can't wait to move into our new Large plot and keep on rocking with you all :phoenixheart:Special staff shout-outs to Masha, Light and Rebecca for everything amazing you do, none of this would be possible without all 3 of you going above and beyond every day. Jessica for being the loveliest friend. Shy for encouraging me to get involved in the first place. Sareilia for being so adorable and huggable ever since we met in that hot tub.. Kira for always being so helpful and reassuring. Navi for teaching me Minecraft and... other things. Veera for always being fun and awake in the small hours. And everyone else in staff and management, I could go on. But Masha said it all in the speech.Special hugs for Melody for being you ❤️

Veera

It was around November last year when i first had a shift at PN, it was as a security back then and i wasnt even fully part of the staff either just there because staff deficit i suppose. That was my first night working someone, i clearly remember it was the Halloween event and i had a Josuke Higashikata glam (i know, i know, you'd expect Zero Two from me but i wanted something else that time) With that i got hired full-time. Deep down i was interested in bar side of things but i just wasnt confident in myself.So firstly, thank you Rebecca and Kumamon for being the root reason of me being here and hired in the first place. After months, i had the courage to ask about the bar, to which i was offered to be a waitress, i jumped on it of course, little did i know that was the start of most things that lead to today, to me being the manager of the bar for couple months now. I was dead scared of it at first, thinking i might have bit off more than i could chew BUT Zale and Nielsy! these 2 lovelies, we made a good team.I didnt expect to get proposed on a Sunday while on shift as well so suffice to say i have plenty memories at Goblet 8-8 and im looking forward to more at the new place with the same family.I want to thank the whole of Staff for being such fun people to be around. Masha for well being Masha and running this ship, the posters, the videos. Light for helping me out with lots of stuff related to bar, even ideas for drinks! Jessica and Serena Amika for being such good friends.
Lastly, thank you to everyone who shows up at the bar to order drinks, i hope you enjoy your time there, the drinks and the tarot readings for those of you who ask.

Throwback to August 2021, I was still new to the game and was just focusing on MSQ and other game content. One day as I was visiting Limsa I heard people shouting near the aetheryte and as I got closer I saw many people, all lined up; it was one of Vivi’s fashion shows (shoutout to Vivi). It was my first time witnessing a community event in FFXIV, I was really touched and impressed by what a few event planners did for everyone to enjoy. And here I did something that I would have never done in the past as I am very socially anxious and struggle with expressing myself; I reached out and asked to help with events and stuff. I did this because I was lonely. I decided that I did not want to play this game solo, that I wanted to socialize in XIV and make friends and to do that I need to stop sulking and being shy and afraid of everything, I had to stop waiting for something to happen and take the courage to finally take action myself.
Well from there, I joined Vivi’s discord, LCE, and eventually became a GM in the server. In LCE I met Leon and Rebecca ❤️ It was also Vivi that introduced me to gambling with his Limsa casino…
It was around this time that Phoenix Nights had its Grand Opening and I was there to witness it.. It was my first time seeing an actual casino with dedicated dealers and not just Limsa casino. I went there and played Dragon Tiger with Tzy and I.. fell in love. I had crazy amounts of fun. I went there with 500k gil and lost everything.. I whined a few times about it in chat and people lent me some gil to gamble more but I lost all that too. From here on I had every Sunday to look forward to ❤️After many Sundays gambling there I became interested in dealing, becoming an entertainment machine as Reb called it once. I made it my goal to work for PN as I was very inspired by the team, so I wanted to be part of it. Well after some time I miraculously got in and Kira was there to teach me how to deal 30min prior to opening ❤️ And here starts my PN adventure…I fell in love with dealing immediately, as well as all the gil coming my way. Eventually I made it to management team which I am truly grateful for.. I’m glad I got to meet and work with you guys, Masha, Kira, Jessica, Esther, everyone… you’re all incredible. I am very happy to be surrounded by such amazing people. I am sorry I’m not very good with feelings and stuff so I’m not sure what else to say other than thank you.. thank you for having me here and let’s keep doing our best! Love you all

Nielsy

I think many remember a small little sprout waiting before the venue hours before it even opened. When I started to roleplay in final fantasy, I was a bit confused about how it all happened. Many big clubs and people who bee's knees on a dancefloor with no music seemed odd at the start... Little did I know what I was in for. Finding a certain Viera in a club was enough to introduce me to her friends like Yuuki (One of the many so it seems) and Thrax among several others. Before I realized it, I logged in final fantasy to say hi to my friends in game instead of doing duties, the MSQ, hunt logs, palace of the death, etc... Hanging out with them was more than enough to fill my hours. Many truths or dares later we went towards a casino one of my friends regularly visited. I was so exited at the idea that there was a casino in ff14! Thinking that only death roles were a thing, I wondered how it all worked. Around level 40 and with only 150K gold in the bank, I started to sell my gear so I had more money to gamble at the tables. Meeting the guard for the first time and seeing the venue from the inside for the first time left me stunned, flabbergasted even! I sat at the couch before I finally found the courage to ask a green-haired guard to ask how it all worked. After a welcoming explanation, I went to the first table... Kira showed me that there is so much more to dealing than just the macros. The gentle pat on the head when you ask for a soft hit to the special rounds between games as well. The entire experience was amazing... Even when she stole all my money. I couldn't wait for the next Phoenix Nights event... I waited hours before the opening time, spending a lot of time with Kumamon, Aku and Rose to talk about how things were. The events in the venue got me engaged in more intense roleplaying and I was shocked when Masha gave the poor sprout VIP... Only to be recruited later as security. A new chapter opened up for me... Working at my first Venue.
First shift, I think many under us remember it... At least for me it was nervous to fuck up. Luckily with a very strong security team and wholesome people, they easily guided me into the job. Easing the trouble and showing that there was nothing to be afraid about. The rest of the family..; From realizing Shy lived in the same city were crabs with knifes rule to Masha who... ruled with knives and stabbed people at random, I was happily accepted in the family. That is what it felt like, not a job with college, but a family. Yes, families have sometimes disagreements and some drama, but we always get over it and come up stronger than before. After Kuma sold me for enough money to Veera I became a bartender, something I wasn't very keen on starting, since I had to leave the amazing Phoenix Knights behind. But quickly I realized that being a bartender was my calling, the many nice rps and new strong 3 man army with both Zale and Veera left no mouth thirsty in the casino.I am thankful for everyone here as well to help me through fun and difficult times. Thank you all Phoenix Nights for making Final Fantasy from an 8 to a 10! Nielsy Out.

Leon

Mine is a story about three families. In summer I had restarted playing at FFXIV after a pause from storm blood, and I've always been a solo player, I didn't know the community of this game was so variegated and awesome. So my first family I entered in contact with was Vivi and the people rotating around the classic casino and the fashion show, like Athia; I still remember whispering at Rebecca cause I was thinking she was ripping off people with the chair game 😄
Meanwhile the second family started in the firmament, while farming fetes, on a overcrowded bench, where the future Ami FC crew, Zelzza, Echovald, Jean, and Esther and many others were chilling while waiting for the events.
The common grounds for these two fellowships was the gamba ofc, and that with time grew, always seeing the same players, I noticed that around Rebecca and Nya and Aru and Jun there was always a certain Masha, and with Jean, Zel, Esther and the others from Air there was always a Kira, who was too strong at dealing at blackjack and nobody wanted to play with her, and they had to know me in my Lala punishment moment lol (stupid auction lol). All these strange people clicked with me and adopted me, even if I don't know what do they see in me; then as time passed the club opened, I still remember the first version, and then Fili work, it went to the best looking club and it was pure chaos! Everybody was chatting, I was playing at the tables with Reb and Yume, and we saw a lot of people come and go, but you guys sticked in my heart, with all the conversation I had the pleasure to have during long nights, with Kira, Kumamon, Jun and many others, and it's always fun to watch you guys full of talent making songs like Shy, or Mashas video editing, people who paint like Kuma and the DJs and the people of the bar, having RP with Veera when Hope returned to play and it was at war with Masha 😄
Started as customer, lost my brain on how to get VIP, then the 10m scam of first class vip just before you finally convinced me to try dealing (and that week I started together with Hadrin), and between normal nights, events, weddings, doing the bartender for a day and helping the community I'm here, with my third and biggest family, poor in the wallet but rich at heart.

Loetwyb

I always considered myself the latecomer to Phoenix Nights, the new Kid so to speak. But as it turns out, I have been part of this community for far longer than I thought. I am not quite sure when exactly I first visited 8-8, but it was one of the clubs that I flitted through at the tail end of last year. But this one was a bit different. Music was not the only draw - the casino was staffed by actual people, with a clear passion for what they were doing and the project. That was different from a lot of other venues where AFK dancers and fully-scripted bartenders did nothing to break up cliques and allow a “newbie” like me to enter the circle.Well, it turned out there was even more on offer than that. It must have been my second or third night when I gathered my courage and sampled one more offering - our delicious Queen of Clubs. And from then I was hooked for good. Jessica not only is very good at what she does, but she also proved to be an excellent conversationalist and brought me into the social experience to a much higher degree. I’d lie if I said she does not play a significant part in my being here.From then on, I was more or less a regular. I started knowing the staff by name and joined the discord. And the valentine event, where I met Nielsy! more or less sealed my fate. From there on out, I did not miss a single night. Gradually my social circle expanded (shoutouts go to Veera, Holo, and Aku ) and by now, PN has become a core part of my FFXIV diet.I think PN is the only place all the various parts of Loetwyb’s story are in circulation. That is to say, all of my “Lore” are known to one or more of you. That is not the case anywhere else, and goes to show how much the interaction here works for me.Did you know I actually applied for a staff position? It didn’t materialize, unfortunately. But I’ll try and be a part of this awesome project as long as you’ll have me.

Yuki

My story is:
I get to yaaasify men on Lich and the staff of PN, so that’s nice.

Zale

My first time inside of Phoenix Night was at a Moment in my Life where i really really wanted to play blackjack online but my Goverment made it kinda Illegal to do so Online and by chance i saw a Post of an Ingame Casino and i thought to my self ''That seem's weird, could be fun. No harm in checking it out''As the Night went on i lost all my Money i came with and all my Money i had in my Retainer BUT the dear Caiy allowed me to dance naked on her table in exchange for a 200k Hand, i went home with 2m Gil and a new Addiction.
FF14 RP, in a way without PN i would have never started to RP.In my starting day's as a fresh non sprout the good Kira was gambling at my side, most times in sum's i only ever could dream about the rich bichI worked for a different Club for quiet a while but parted way's with them and apply'd here as a bartender and Veera + Nielsy! are the best :3 and i have to say im so glad that i found this Family, all of Staff included obviously and i cant forget all my beloved customers and future customers, if u come to my Bar and RP with me i consider you part of it. Well atleast a little 😛 Even tho i wasnt for very long in 8-8 im gonna miss the Cozy Feel it's giving but at the same time i look forward to all the new memory's i will be able to make with this newly found family here at Phoenix night's

Shy

To be fair, it all kinda started with Jessica joining my FC. I never actually thought about ERP or RP before she did. It was a strange thing to most of my FC members. We visited some random venues, watching people beesknees around; listening to the deadsilent rooms and shuffeling of a million feet. Like, what the fuck were these people doing? :wheeze:Who would ever do something as silly as that?And, then she told us about this venue she joined: Phoenix Nights. Saying she's an entertainer/dancer, and soon got promoted to Queen Manager. And how she made so much gil... To many a million gil is like pocketmoney. To me it was like the richest of riches. Hearing that people had 50 mil was even wilder. Insane. Only Elon Musk on FFXIV would have that kind of money. We came to visit the venue a few times and immediatily noticed how nice staff was. So welcoming. Me and Yuki got curious, seeing what this all entailed. And we eventually decided to sign up for the entertainer jobs. With Jess her help and guidance, I got lucky that a spot opened up just at that moment, giving me the title of 'Queen of Hearts'. And Yuki became our first King. It was abit scary at first. But with Jess her coaching and support, I'm humbly confident enough to admit that I filled in the role pretty well. ❤️ (Jess is so kind and supportive, true mom energy) Not only her, but the entire staff. In my low moments, they told me I could always talk to them or lean on them and it absolutely means so much to me. I couldn't have ended up in a better venue and family like this one. From Rebecca having the broom zoomies, to Leon slapping his knee like an old man as he laughs. Special thanks to Masha for being Masha.
My edgy lil heart cherishes you all. ❤️

Athia

I remember how i got into this mess
Twas a sunday evening, around 17, Masha ran to me just outside of Limsa's inn room after i completed one of my first sprout drip ™️ and asked me "WE DESPERATELY NEED SOMEONE ARE YOU AVAILABLE TONIGHT"
At first i was "Who the fuck is that again ?" Then i remembered seeing her in some of Vivi 's event.
Before i knew it i was clad in armor and holding the door like it was my own Viera wearing 2B thighs. And i was part of a family.I've never been too much of the talkative type, i'm way too shy to pry into anyone, but i gotta say that i enjoy the company of all of you, be it visitors or Staff even if my behavior and some of my joke may be over the top from time to time. And also for bearing with me, whenever i try to do something my mind is filled with "What if ...?", but i try to act before thinking now, and shall strive to do it more often !Special mention to Shy and Jessica, that were there for me when the sky wasn't clear

Edward Croft : I'm going to a casino tonight on Phoenix, wanna join?I had no idea how much this small invite would change my FF experienceMy first night in PN was with Ed, Blun and Avalyn . Ed decided to have some fun so we booked two dancers for Truth or Dare. Jessica and Yuki (on his first night). Jess dared me to lapdance Kuma who was working at the time.The rest is history 😉One story just isn't enough to recall.That first night in PN was priceless.All the 'smoke breaks' I'd take as a reason to go outside and chat to security. Much to masha's concerns about my lungs.My first night working as security in PN (I'll always be grateful for the chance guys. Thank you so much!)Taking a night off work for cyberpunk night and then... just missing the staff and pouncing on everyone two minutes after work ended.The night a few of us got absolutely hammered on disc and played truth or dareMafia night where I had a death roll with Ghost, representing the misfits.And so many more beyond countingThank you everyone! ❤️

Mhh... I'm not good with feelings and memory I cant promise how good this will be 🤐My first time in Phoenix Nights was quite the weird one
I used to be on Zodiark, on a small FC that was mostly doing clubbing it was quite fun ! And I really was only beginning my FF journey I was still a poor little sprout at that time !
And basically instead of clubbing that sunday I've been taken to go to a casino on Phoenix, I love gambling, you could say I'm even addicted to it so of course I was excited ! Did a few blackjack games, fell in love with the game and the atmosphere of the club.But then I discovered something more to it, a community !
We kept on coming to the casino, every sunday that's how I first met these two cuties Jessica and Shy played some games together like the truth or dare and all, started to love the people here, there's more than just a casino stealing my MSQ gil !And then I just became a usual customer here, liked the gambling, liked the people ! But then a little someone that became a close friend of mine Jessica told me that they needed a dealer, I immediately agreed to try it, after all I wanted to do it ever since I did my first blackjack game with Ivy ! ( I remember getting a natural my first ever hand 🤐)And if you couldn't tell I already loved the place before, becoming a dealer made me love it even more ! I discovered even more people to talk to and fell again face to face with a cute lizard that I've met before during me early clubbing days Serena, I knew her as the girl that made me remove my top in a sauna at an other club, but then she was a manager here ! We got to knew each others even more, and those link with the people that I made at PN reinforced even more why I like the placeWith PN I've met a variety of people that I love today, so I'm glad to be a part of this adventure with all of you
Love all of you ♥

Most of people i met, had a time when they ask me : " How can you always be happy ".
Some even ask me for a secret to reveal ... but sadly i have none to share !
But what i have to share ... and will always have, is my smile. And what i believe the most, is that covid is not that much contagious if we conmpare it to smiles. Smiling is like yawning, smiling at someone has the power to make them Happy.And that's how i joined PN. I Wanted to give smile on the face of people.
I was expecting an interesting adventure, that would make some of my nights funnier. But i got way more. I got a whole staff that is wonderfull and act like a family. I got a whole community around that is every single night, making those event so lovely and living. And i got crazy gamblers that make me laughts for every single minutes of my working time.
But not only, i got also cheeks issues. Making me smiles and so happy that it hurts them ! But its fine ... i will call it worth it!I know that sometimes people dont believe my happyness, and i even manage to hurt them, cause they think me wrong. And im sorry if it happens anytime around ♥ I always have been loving any of you, and had good time with all of you !That put apart, i want also to thank the managers of how right we are being managed, and making everything easy for us, and so fun to all of you ♥.But now ... how could i speak about my story ... without talking about the big war against Blackjack addition ! Haha~. I have been addicted myself, but there is a time ... where i felt everyone was only playing blackjack ! At least a huge part ... After all ... blackjack is such a great game ! But it was a funny challenge to me to try getting away people out of Blackjack with some new games ! So i tried ... few ! But how do we stop an addicion ? By giving an other ... And for that i created my game that now i love sooooo much to host. Apple crash.No more words ... so ... Be happy ! And smile ! ♥

Only 3 weeks ago I joined PN and I can honestly say, it’s one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. I remember I use to go to Vivi’s fashion shows where I met Leon and I saw he posted about PN so I thought I’d drag my fc and try it out. My first ever time playing blackjack was with Hadrin who ended up becoming one of my really good friends, and from there started my love for gambling. When I became a dealer Kira invited me in along with Zelzza with open arms and man did I mess up a lot on my first night! I was lucky to have Esther on my table to help me and reassure me it was okay to make mistakes. I just remember at the end of the night having Kira say welcome to the team I was so happy, that I actually couldn’t sleep for a few hours after that 😂 I will always say that I couldn’t work for anyone better so I will forever be thankful Kira Masha. You guys are the best and so is the entirety of PN. I love you all 💕

Well, it all started for my when I visited clubs (PN included) with my gambling addicted ex-girlfriend... and fell in love with the gambling part in FF, even after that relationship was over I never stopped gamba and the times and friends I made at PN tables were amazing. I became good friends with Hadrin and Esther and she was my entry to PN, I have to thank Esther truly for everything in the hard time I faced around that time for being there for me, I remember us theorycrafting and playtesting Phoenixmon together in Zelzza 's garden and I became more and more invested into gambling and PN. All the creativity and the concept fascinated me and soon I wanted to be a part of it. I'm glad I got the chance, Kira is such an amazing mommy to us dealers, it was very wholesome and I felt warm and welcome. All my fellow game hosts are my family now and I cherish all the memories of the battles we fought together every sunday! Truth to be told I am very shy and can't really approach people by myself.. so I kinda haven't talked to everyone outside the gamehost family here yet.. but you are still all amazing people and I love you just so you know it ❤️ W8 P8 has become one of my favorite locations - our adorable base of operation and home :3 - in such a short time and I will miss it. So many amazing and unique people here I met or hang out weekly here, be it at my table or after hours or even on the Rift :3 I love you all ❤️ Let's make the new PN in Mist even more radiant. And Fen next time don't roll me. x.X

i am not so good at writing please forgive me.
i'd been meaning to try clubbing in ff for a while and when i saw a random post in limsa plaza one sunday i decided to check it out. i met Rose and she invited me to chill with her group which was so kind.
hearing Panther and Poppy, Chaosbringer that night is the reason im DJing in ff now. Masha 's incredible encouragement and support over the months towards me is incredible. ive had such fun here so thanks.

Poppy

So.... Choco approached me on discord rather sheepishly to ask if I could play the haloween gig at PN, said that I'd get paid lots of gil. So I was like "Aight, I'll sort out a banging set you you" So I sorted out a banging set, Masha gave me lots of gil and asked me to be a resident! So 5 months on I now own 2 large houses! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! WE DID IT REDDIT!Seriously though, all you staff are nutters and I love you, stay cool!Also, I'm going to continue to finish sets before Panther at stupid high BPMs, just to irritate him 🤣GARLIC BREAD! It's the future, I've tasted it!

First night gamba for me at PN, we played until 7-8am? Met with Kira and had tons of fun while robbing the PN dealers. Most of my starting money is from you guys so thanks for the sponsoring. (Still doing the sponsoring Esther, Hadrin and Leon). Also made a lot of friends there and I am thankful for that. All around MOSTLY super good memories I wont forget and and we can all agree that the Nov-Dec months never happened. I wish you all the success because you deserve it!
Ps: Masha Holding hands again whenDelete this part from the sponsored message and dont send it by accident!!!!!

My first time in PN I still came as a big lady if i remember correctly with a different name as well. I stepped into the venue and was out in 30 mins without my massive bankroll of 1,5 Million. That was the first donation I made to Phoenix Night dealers and there were many more to come. I don't even want to point out a single person. I can just say it's rare to find a club that has this feeling of everyone involved truly being part of this club making it a home for everyone. The amount of effort and ideas and work poured in truly inspired me when it came to opening our own Venue.
Now was there a certain story or memory that peeks out for me? I don't think I can answer this question with yes. Is it a bad thing? I doubt it. There are just too many. From interacting with Staff, guests to the RP Events taking place. Dealers busting at 5 mil max tables when you double downed, hunting the 999 (i rolled it yesterday in a truth or dare game). Enjoying the music and dance floor.
I think the best story I can tell is that i am always looking forward to Sundays and if anyone asks me where i am on Sundays that they know the answer already.I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with in your new home and I'm sure I will be pleasantly surprised.
And as always my friends
Gamba gives, Gamba takes
This is the way

It pretty started with me being dragged around venues which were recommended to me by Ari . Without her, I wouldn't have even known the existence of Phoenix Nights.I honestly barely remember my first night on Phoenix Nights, besides simply meeting with Ari and gambling. It was mostly gambling, where gil flew in and out. I have enjoyed a small gamble every week.
It was relaxing to have a quick game of gamble for fun, it was also nice to meet the community and talk to them.The things that I will not miss, is the queues. I'd think, I'll just get the line skip package. That slightly escalated into First Class.
A thing and something I will always thank Ari for is to just dance a bit at the gate while she's having her outside shift. I enjoy the company.Thank you for this place and thank you Ari for bringing me in. I love you all.

The very first time my friends dragged me to a club was to explore something that is different to the MSQ. To rephrase that: I was still a sprout. Both to the game and definitely to the social aspect of nightclubs. Sooner rather than later my gamble-addicted friends convince - ehm .. rather dragged me to the tables to play card. Without any clue what was going on I was mesmerized by how the dealer shuffles their cards, throws them in front of the players with grace all the while taking their gil but in a way that the players were not mad. The dealer was nice, gave out advice and went to lengths to make the whole experience a joy. That dealer was Jun. Someone who later also attended my (back then) FC's christmas🎄 party.Since then I have went to a few clubs, just sparsely and one evening the same friend that dragged me to my first club, pulled me over to an afterparty in a medium house to which I never was before. Somewhere in the goblet, with people beaming of joy and happiness. It was a sight to behold. Sadly it was already very late and I had to leave just as quick as I arrived. But the time was enough to captivate me.. to make make a feeling bud in my heart that made me desire to spend a whole evening and night there.
That night I met and chatted with a few people who's faces I was going to see more frequently afterwards.A lot of things happened. Coming over to gamble a few gil here and there. Dancing, listening to music and chatting with people. You know, the usual ~When the first Kakegurui event happened, I was giving my bestest .. but losing to Thrax for five times in a row made me give up >.< and thus I became whom most of you know. A housepet. The first thing I was ordered to do was to brush Kumamon’s hair ..
I forgot how it happened, but eventually I was told to sit by Masha’s side. Placing pillows below her feet and following around was what I am supposed to do. Oddly enough, it was fun :x As time progressed, I got to meet more and more people. Seeing a ridiculously loud Ghostwho is constantly screaming became the norm and truly adorable. Being part of some photoshoots directed by Navi was not the only thing enjoyable I experienced in their presence..Generally speaking, every event; every night at Phoenix night was special. Not one was like the other. Until the second Kakegurui night happened. I hoped to win against Thrax this time .. but as history told me before, he would be my bane again. To date our match history is 11 wins thrax and zero wins for me. . . sometimes I suspect that Serena took joy in watching us despair whilst taking our gil and offering us a cheekily “good luck” whilst smirking at our backs when we turned around to tackle the next attempt .. Yet once again, it wasn't a lose to me. I knew full well that a win was unlikely ^- a-and I was already anticipating all the headpats I was going to receive by you all. Especially Jessica has been very forward and was able to make me "slightly" addicted to them >//< Luckily more people have started to notice it and provide me with them :> t-thanks!A-anyways .. a lot of things happened and one day I was invited to hop onto minecraft with a few of you .. Farming resources, building farms with you lot is great. It is enjoyable whenever I come over. Be it to the club on sunday, or the server in MC.
Light with whom I played a bit of minecraft. Just like Dofflin was the one i was mining in the depths of the ground for precious stones that we call diamonds.Yet there are soo many people whom I could mention here and I am sure that I wont be able to @ all of them ..so please do forgive this little lizard pet. Come and give me a headpat and I will be sure to remember you >.<All in all, to me PN and the House in Goblet 88 is a place of memories, a place of solace and a sanctuary to which I was able to come week after week. Thank you ♥

Not much to go on here but I was invited to come down by Ari one night. Thought why the hell not would be doing lvling if I didn’t go, was just nervous about the whole thing didn’t know what to expect until I got to the door and was given a champagne bottle, and was given a warm greeting upon inside. Thanks for Ari showing me around I was introduced to Zale who chatted with me for a while and made me feel relaxed more whilst I was listening to the music on twitch. The whole place was amazing and the experience itself was great 😊.Afterwards I was shown to the Blackjack tables where to this day I have a little rivalry with Leon who’s taken more Gil from me than I won from him no matter what character I bring lol. Either way it been a great pleasure going there a few times and I wish the best of luck in your new location. 👍

This venue was where I first spent the night with Ryunarios Drakon, which would turn out to be the first of many, so thank you Phoenix Nights for helping me hook up with the hottest hroth~

My favourite thing about Phoenix Night is not necessarily a memory, as it is a certainty. The thing in my mind's eye whenever I think about, or do actually come into the Phoenix Nights venue.A cheeky but ultimately nice, gentle and thoroughly humbling Hrothgar at the reception, who underneath all his fur and friendly demeanor is quite the party animal.Various Catgirls and Hyur standing around the Casino Area to farm all the addicts.And when you come in, usually to the left, stands Serena Amika. The proud general manager of Phoenix Nights. Being both unbelievable pretty and wholesome, but also always strict if need be. Planning and ever diligent, Serena is the Angel of Phoenix Nights.And who is standing to the right, with her serious expression cast across the floor? The queen of destiny herself, the bearer of The Scary Stare, you better respect her or receive a harsh punishment. No... not Jessica, I'm speaking of Masha Shiri. For Jessica is the Scary gaze, she is the enchantress, the seductress, the alluring beauty that pulls everyone back to Phoenix Nights, whether it's for music, Roleplay, events, gambling, or being stepped on by Queen Jessica. Phoenix Nights is my absolute favourite place to be.Thank you for this place, thank you for these various charming employees. Let's get naked and celebrate!
