The Day's Events

«Never Waste a Photo Op»

Before anything else, we issue a challenge to every gposer, screenshot queen and shader auteur out there: we want to see your shots and vids! Post your best Primal Pride screenshots and videos on Twitter, Bluesky or Instagram with the hashtag #PrimalPride2025 to enter a raffle for a 10 million gil prize! Additionally, our favorite posts of the day will get special highlights from the crew! Entries for this raffle have a soft cut-off -- It ends when the winners are announced at the after party!

«The Rainbow Raid»

Break out your best and dye it your fav, we're storming the streets bleeding color again! We suggest having one outfit dyed a solid color for the parade, and having standby dyes for after if you wanna take pride flag selfies with your friends. As with every year, parade attendants will have plenty of dye on hand to share if you need some! The colors above are only suggestions, don't be afraid to wear your favorite shade!Character Requirements

«Booty Roulette»

And finally, our huge annual giveaway! This is Kirune's original giveaway game, where millions of gil, rare prizes and even game time cards fall from his hands into the pockets of the lucky. This event starts after moving the party to The Gold Court in The Steps of Thal and ends when we run out of time or prizes!To start, everybody stands in the center of the room. Kirune will run a lap or two, placing waypoints only he can see. When he says go, everybody will pick a place around the room and /sit, hoping to stop on those lucky spots. Those who've planted their booty on a winning space will win big!

«The Afterparty»

The festivities will conclude at The Soft Spot, Ward 4 Plot 37 in Shirogane on Leviathan. There will be continued random giveaways, live music with DJ R.R., pics with the Primal Pride crew, and plenty of room to dance! We may have more giveaways, if a fundraising goal is met and Kirune will announce the winner of the screenshot raffle here! If you're underlevelled, send a friend request to Bingis Dingis@Leviathan to teleport directly there with Estate Teleporation!

Theme - We All Pull Together

This year's theme is a demand to find your crew, to support each other, to share the work. Things are tough and getting tougher, oppression's on the rise and the enemy is everywhere. Remember, however, that you can't take on the insurmountable on your own. As the world gets scarier, it's very tempting to shut oneself away, to assume there's nothing good, to wait until things look safer. That's a mistake! The world may be harsh, but there's a party out there that needs you! Let us do our part by taking part- meals taste best when they're shared after all, and your presence can comfort others just as their presence comforts you. This year we must all live, live well, and ensure those around us can do the same.

As with every year, Primal Pride would like to ask our attendees to consider donating to our fundraiser. In a decade where queer rights-- and especially trans rights-- are under massive legislative assault, we have again chosen to support Lambda Legal. Every dollar donated this year is being matched by a generous donor, so when you donate, you're doubling your impact! Since 2022, Primal Pride, with the help of the FFXIV community, has raised over $10,000 for the fight for queer rights. Hit the link below to go to the fundraising campaign!
