Ladies and gentleman, children of all ages, welcome once again to another fabulous week of ENTM’s Runway Cycle! This week we challenged our models to let off some steam, and take us back to the OG TikTok. Welcome to the intersection of science, fashion and fantasy. Whether you’re journeying to the center of the earth, or travelling 20,000 leagues under the sea, one thing always holds true: you gotta look good. From sky pirates above to Rapture below join us on a grand adventure, won’t you?

So, who loco-motivated you the most? Vote 1 for your strongest, and 12 for your weakest, and everyone else in between.
Our winner for Week 3: Off to See the Wizard was really follow, follow, follow, follow, following the yellow brick road. Congratulations…
Rymmrael Bhaldraelwyn!
Our ravishing Roegadyn really clicked her heels three times, and found herself anywhere but Kansas with this look. Our judges really enjoyed your choice of different green tones, and how you made them really mesh together well with this presentation. A splendid example that somewhere over the rainbow, way up high, you’ve brought us to a land that we’ve heard of once in a lullaby. Well done.
Now then, Rymm may have stolen the show brick by brick, but you can take off your emerald glasses now and see that this is no time to surrender, Dorothy. Whether you’re a good witch, a bad witch, or not a witch at all there is plenty of time to let your true self soar like the hot air balloons that you are! Okay, perhaps not the best analogy. Anywho, until next week’s great and powerful awes!
ENTM’s Runway Cycle is in full swing, and this week our models have gone somewhere over the rainbow. Our models were challenged to follow the yellow brick road and dress as a citizen of the fabled Emerald City. They’ve donned their gaudiest of greens, but don’t worry, they have not forgotten those ruby slippers.

Which of our models had enough heart, courage, and brains to pull off this week’s challenge? Now is no time to traipse about in a field of poppies! Vote 1 for your strongest, and 12 for your weakest, and everyone else in between.
Rejoice! For our winner of Week 2: Eikon’t Believe It is wild, and pure, and forever free…
Yomu Kazul!
Rising to the occasion our reveler unleashed the spirit of Susano upon us, a memorable dance indeed! Our judges loved how you popped against this background, and really embraced the look and feel of this primal. You really showed how just the right pose can really sell the outfit, and help embody the subject you’re emulating in these types of challenges. Well done.
Now then, my little aether shards. The seas may have parted for Yomu, and Yomu alone this time, but oh how our hearts sing in the chaos. Resilience shows, and for that I salute you. Next week may just harken you to the tumultuous heavens!
Welcome back to another eikon-ic week of ENTM’s Runway Cycle. From the aether our models rise this week, a desperate prayer made manifest. Each model was to choose a primal to become inspired by, and summon forth an outfit worthy of a hoard of crystals. Feel the fury, and be tempered by this week’s submissions.
Araatel Doyerii – Shiva
Marcelloix Axios – Bismarck (the First)
Khloe Jaab – Sophia
Rymmrael Bhaldraelwyn – Phoenix

Which of our models embodies your glitzy, glammy prayers? Let us know! Vote 1 for your strongest, and 12 for your weakest, and everyone else in between.
Our winner of Week 1: Comfortable, and Easy to Wear is in big trouble, and I’m tellin’ on her! Congratulations…
Meztli Kagon!
The epitome of comfort our capri sun kicked back, relaxed, and let her fashion do the talking. Our judges were living with her attention to detail here and there, from the flower in the hair to the earrings and even opting for bright lighting to really draw out the best of this outfit. Well done.
Keep up the terrific work my trainers. Meztli may have turned this round into a Naadam, but she won’t be Khagan forever. This week showed us the direct impact of community voting, so get some good participation going! Gotta catch all the votes! Next week is anyone’s win!
Hello, and welcome ladies and gentleman, children of all ages, to another fun-filled run of ENTM’s Runway Cycle. Each week our models will be given specific cues, and will create an outfit befitting the hautest of the haute. This week we challenged our models let us Pikachu a little bit, and show us they can be the very best, like no one ever was. Wearing an outfit focusing on a yellow top and a pair of blue shorts which of our models can be crowned this week’s regional champ? Whether you’re a youngster, a bug catcher, or just blasting off again you gotta admit they’re comfortable, and easy to wear.

Which of our models tossed a Pokeball into your hearts? Let us know! Vote 1 for your strongest, and 12 for your weakest, and everyone else in between.
Congratulations to all of our participants in Square Enix’s official American/Canadian contest for, “Everything’s on the Line!” Ever up for a challenge our folks submitted shots going solely on the cue to use the ‘Saturated Linework’ option in /gpose.
Several folks submitted entries, and we’d like to take a moment to enjoy the shots participants have allowed us to post here. You’re all wonderful, and keep on participating for future contests!
First up, one of the top ten entries in the contest, Ni’ko Shae’s “Scaredy Sprout.”
Next we have a top 100 entry, Yomu Kazul’s “Run!”
And next another top 100 entry, Yume Aawkot’s “A Mischievious Meal.”
Next we have our honorable mentions. Though you didn’t place you certainly placed in our hearts! First, Aelyria Windrunner’s “Me and My Mameshiba.”
And finally, Forthyn S’yel’s “An Afternoon Snack.”
And, a special shoutout to Schan Starfall and Khloe Jaab who placed in the top 1000 of their region for the 7th Anniversary Digital Scrapbook, available in parts of Europe and Oceania. They received their very own print of their submission!
Congratulations to everyone on your incredible display of enthusiasm for all things /gpose. Until next time, keep on shining!
We here at Eorzea’s Neo Talent Management are thrilled to kick off our latest cycle: Runway Cycle. As our models get settled in with their challenges and prepare themselves for the upcoming competition let’s take a moment to get to know our host, Ni’ko Shae, and our panel of judges.
Tumblr/Classic Cycle 11 winner and regular supporter of all things ENTM your host Ni’ko Shae puts the purr in purple. Rumour suggests a time when he had no association with the colours purple, pink, or anything in between, but such ridiculous allegations are clearly without merit. Runway Cycle is his brainchild created with /gpose beginners in mind.
An ENTM staple since 2015, Katarh is our first-ever Runway winner returning to judge this cycle. You’ll be competing for her crown, which she has proclaimed she will gladly relinquish to the one deemed most worthy. But in her own words, “Focus on the fun first!”
An avid promoter and supporter of ENTM, Ona is our Tumblr Cycle 10 Community Vote winner, frequent judge, frequent winner of our Monthly Challenge, and goddess of mythology. We all welcome her grace and wit. Or else.
A favourite of our inaugural Fresh Faces Cycle returning to judge Escher is no stranger to the glamour game. With pink hair and a penchant for silly glamour Escher is always here to keep things a little strange.
Fairly fresh to Final Fantasy XIV, Aelyria has since fallen in love with the true endgame: /gpose and glamour! After a second-place finish in the inaugural Fresh Faces Cycle Aelyria has since become a staple of the judges’ panel.
Thank you to our judges for stepping in for this competition, and thank you all for your interest and support. We’ve got eight exciting weeks of fashion to forward, so please stay tuned. Voting will begin the first week of September.
Now then. Start your engines, and may the best model win!
My name is Ni’ko Shae, and this is Eorzea’s Neo Talent Management Runway Cycle 2. The remix, the sequel, the blockbuster eleganza extravaganza. #shealreadydonehadherses. #eorzeasneotm. #hashtag. Thank you for joining us as we get to the source of some of the most fabulous talent we’ve had, and see who comes up first! Our models are ready to sashay, shante, panther on the runway in the hottest of haute couture Eorzea and beyond has to offer.
Introducing our fierce competitors, listed in alphabetical order by surname.
If you’ve watched or participated in previous cycles with ENTM then you should already have a general idea of how this all works. ENTM draws inspiration from competition reality shows, and challenges virtual photographers to come up with the best representation of a given theme for the week. At the end of the cycle whomever has the best cumulative score from both our judges and the voting community is crowned the winner. Competition is heavily based on photographic methods, as well as storytelling. Through ENTM many have learned new techniques, and been able to tap into a new side of creativity and appreciation for Final Fantasy XIV.
Runway Cycle takes a slightly different approach. It is a marriage between our typical inspirations and ruleset and the weekly Fashion Report challenge at the Gold Saucer. Each week our models will be presented with a theme, and a few key rules that vary week to week, such as using a particular colour of dye, having a particular piece of equipment visible, and so on and so forth. Photographic techniques are helpful, however are not a requirement. This is all about selling the garment. So long as you can capture your own pose well, and show the outfit clearly, then you’re all set to set fire to the runway.
That being said, this whole competition is nothing without our models! Thank you all for auditioning, and taking the time to participate in a fun game where the true reward is the journey and friends we make along the way (and also the only reward; there is no actual prize, sorry, we’ve had several budget cuts ever since The Incident). I hope you all have fun, and enjoy the experience.
Stay tuned as our models prepare themselves over the next month. In the coming weeks we’ll be revealing our judges for the cycle, and we still have our monthly challenge to enjoy! Voting will begin the first week of September.
Now then. Start your engines, and may the best model win!
