In between adventuring, questing, and learning new jobs in Final Fantasy XIV, you might want to take in some culture - and there’s a group out there staging full plays within the game, using in-game assets as sets, props, lighting, and costumes. A US-based non-profit called A Stage Reborn produces full stagings of real-world plays in MMORPG gameworlds, including Final Fantasy XIV’s Eorzea. They hold auditions, rehearse, and perform plays using in-game assets, and the level of detail is fairly astonishing. They’ve been at it for a couple years now, it turns out. In 2017, A Stage Reborn put on a production of Walter Wykes’ one-act play The Worker, and you can watch the video below. A player’s home provides the set, but the group has added appropriate stage and spot lighting, they’ve included the right kinds of props, and there are even ushers and comfortable theatre seating for the audience members. The play even has an orchestral score, chosen from Final Fantasy XIV’s music tracks. Characters react to each other with the game emotes, and there are cheers and giggles from the audience at important moments in the play.
