In-Game Final Fantasy Tribute to Covid-19 Victim - Jiggly - 04-27-2020
In game funeral marches were held on April 12th, to honour two players, Ferne Le'roy and Poppy Rose, who passed away due to Covid-19.
Code:
Awareness about the march spread online after a user named Sevengems42 posted a notice about it on the Final Fantasy XIV subreddit as follows: "So this isn't easy for me to talk about. Zalera has lost one of our own to COVID-19. She was a member of FNG and this Saturday at 3pm PST we will be conducting a march from Ul'dah to The Guardian Tree in Central Shroud and holding a semi service. If you would like to attend, regardless of server please do just show up. All I ask is that you are respectful. She was one of us, and a very dear friend of ours. I'm not looking for karma or any such thing. so whatever happens with this post happens. The march however will not be stopped. Thank you for your time."
At first, the funeral was organized primarily for Ferne Le'Roy, but the scale of the event expanded as other players who had lost a fellow friend began to participate. DenFamiNicoGamer was able to confirm that another player by the username of Poppy Rose was also being honored through the march.![[Image: EVZIhC7XgAI9jwN?format=jpg&name=medium]](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EVZIhC7XgAI9jwN?format=jpg&name=medium)

COVID-19 has claimed a tremendous amount of lives, and this just adds to the sorrow.
Out of respect, It's so nice they did an In-game funeral procession.

I thought it was a really lovely way to honour someone in a game they obviously enjoyed.

They're probably looking from the heavens and appreciated every minute of It.
