Eorzea's Neo Talent Management
Round Four was full of monsters and a whole lot of the magic of cinema to make things look interesting. Hopefully everyone successfully defeated their foes despite any setbacks. The top three shots for technical battle prowess and mastery of sticker mode this week were, in no particular order: Rymm, Elessia, and Aelyria!
For the month of February, what else could the challenge be about but love? However, instead of romantic dates and cupid’s arrows, Forthyn is asking for a different kind of love:
“Agape (Love)” – The highest form of love: selfless, sacrificial, true unconditional love; persists no matter the circumstance. Show your purest form of love the best way you know how: towards others, your companions or significant other, or even yourself.
So go out there and show some love and kindness to the world, and take a picture of it to share with the rest of us! Entries for the February Challenge will be accepted until Friday February 19th, 10:59 PM EST. (Look, I’m old, I go to bed by 11 these days.) Send it to Katarh Mest on Discord in a DM.

For Round 4 of our inaugural All Stars cycle, we paid homage to Cycle 4 and sent our models out to do a technically challenging battle shot. This shot had to be taken with them fighting or visibly engaged with any FATE boss or other monster, with the addition of the new Gpose sticker mode “FATE Joined” label slapped on it, in case it wasn’t obvious what they were doing.
Getting a good battle shot is always rough, but doing so in a FATE made things twice as hard…. this round involved a lot of photography tricks, extras helping to tank things, waiting for the stupid FATE to pop, waiting for the right weather, and in my case, getting my fishing trip interrupted.

For January we sent everyone out to find some dragons and show some appreciation, dangit. We had almost 30 votes total, which is great, because it allows us to see when there is a clear winner! And the winner this month was very clearly Forthyn S’yel, who shared this tender moment with Rathalos, and will be choosing our theme for the month of February.
Congratulations!
The hard earned time off is over because our next round is a technical doozy, but in the meantime, these are the top three models (in no particular order) whose hobbies enthralled us and made us feel the most cozy with that Echo filter.
Congratulations to Ninifipsi, Yomu, and Elessia, for showing us that whether it’s cluttered or tidy, creative or restful, home is the best place to relax for the weekend.
In honor of Cycle 3, which had a nice relaxing theme that asked our models to show off their free time hobbies when not saving the world or being a world class model, we brought back Relaxation Time for the Round 3 challenge. The twist for this post Gpose cycle was to use the Echo filter to “add that old timey feel.” So without further ado, here are the All Stars models taking a break and showing us how they spend their down time.

Our 14 intrepid models took us on a three hour tour of some really neat wrecks. There was a lot of arguments about who had the most spectacular crashes (and who had the most premium deserted island to boot) but in the end three shots emerged on top for this extremely good, extremely scenic round.
Congratulations to our shipwrecked ALL MALE models in the top three, for showing us your abs I mean showing us some fantastic destruction of property: Forthyn, Malkovich, and Yomu!
Welcome back everyone to another week of our first ever All Stars Cycle! For Week 2, we took our inspiration from Cycle 2 and stranded our models someplace. Unlike Cycle 2, which was still limited by no Gpose and only a handful of potential locations, our models and self-judges were allowed to run wild with this idea and interpret it however they chose.
Please look at their selections below, and then go to our Google poll at the bottom of the gallery and rank them 1-14! Click on the center of a shot to make it bigger, then use your browser’s back button to return to this post.
Critiques are open to the public on our Discord channel. Tell our models what you loved about their shots, or anything you felt might have made these shots stronger. Look for the #all-stars-critiques channel and share your thoughts!

Hello my lovelies, it’s time to reveal who the top three vote getters were for our first round! With the judges all ranking themselves, we’ve definitely got some professional opinions about How To Slay Your Ice Queen for this round.
Since All Stars is a little bit different, our winners each week are a little bit different. The top three for Round 1, in no particular order, were Yomu, Aelyria, and Odharnait! Looks like fashion was the royal pedigree everyone was looking for this week.
