I’m going to tread carefully here (as a straight-white 30 something-year-old male), but this is something that I’ve committed to writing about after the artwork for Final Fantasy XIV’s patch 5.4 (titled “Futures Rewritten”). In the artwork, two of the main characters from Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers are depicted, I won’t go into details on […]

Beating them with a stick
Earlier this week I read this interview with Final Fantasy XIV producer Naoki Yoshida, the interview itself has a lot of potentially interesting stuff for fans of Square-Enix’s MMO regarding cross-overs and is overall, a really good interview. However, my focus today is the way in which the article opens. “Despite a disastrous launch back […]
A rollercoaster week in Eorzea
It’s been a while since I last posted about Final Fantasy XIV, in fact, it was back in July when I was trying to run an alt character, which I’ve since abandoned. The reason for that was that I just couldn’t give my main the time I wanted, and at that stage, I think I […]
#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 44
We’re supposed to go to the Iifa Tree, but I really want to try some of the sidequests out, I’ve got the Mognet Central stuff, Stellazio Coins and Chocobo Forest that I think I should still be able to do. I head for Lindblum first and find Sagittarius, I’m not sure if it was there […]

Disc 4 opens up Black Mage Village. Vivi seems to be very busy and it would appear he’s got the Black Mages to agree to the Genomes setting up home alongside them. No.288 believes its a great idea, remarking that they’re similar in many ways and promises Zidane that the villagers will look after “his […]

As Eiko, I continue my search for Zidane, Stiltzkin has somehow found his way to Terra and is visiting Moorock, he has a Diamond, Either and Elixer pack for sale for 2,222 Gil. Vivi says he saw Zidane and joins in me in trying to find the groups leader, Amarant also volunteers to accompany Eiko. […]
#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 39
It’s been a couple of weeks since my last Final Fantasy IX update. In that, I mostly detailed plans for levelling up after completing the Earth Shrine, which is essentially what I’ve spent the majority of the time between updates doing. Back in that last one, I reported that Quina was level 36, well, they’re […]
#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 38
After getting Quina to level 36 and equipping Auto-Float to, I head back to the Earth Shrine. I’m hoping that s/he has a fighting chance now. The Earth Guardians “Earthquake” attack now misses every time, taking some of the pressure off of Quina’s White Wind Blue Magic (which heals the whole party, but not by […]
#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 37
Even though Quina is only level 30 and has only learnt a few spells last week, I decide its time to try and head to the Earth Shrine. Once there Quina tells Zidane that s/he is really pleased they’ve paired up, Zidane admits to them that he got the “leftovers”. Amusingly this only serves to […]
Final Fantasy XIV: A Beauty Reborn
This has gone out much, much later than my usual Sunday update. This is purely because I didn’t get on to FFXIV on Saturday evening, the past few days have been a struggle, mentally, the best way I can describe how I’m feeling is that any and all noise has been exhausting. I’m not sure […]
