After last weeks post discussing my attempts at taking on a new Job in Final Fantasy XIV I feel now is the perfect time to discuss the most important thing for the game: its community. It’s been a hard thing to ignore recently as there have been some major changes. First, a renowned World of […]

XiVariety is the Spice of Life
I lose my mojo for a few months, I was barely playing anything, barely reading anything, things at home have been rather challenging and whilst I wouldn’t say they’ve let up or are likely to let up, I know I need to find room for the things that bring me joy, two of those things […]
Final Fantasy VII Remake
It’s been a couple of weeks now since I finished Final Fantasy VII Remake and in that time I’ve been trying to form my opinions on it, it’s a difficult game to write about, particularly from the position I find myself in as a fan of the series though I don’t hold Final Fantasy VII […]
#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 47
Zidane walks towards the white light which resembles the moon being reflected in a pool of water. Garland: “You have entered a new realm. There are no more worlds. There is no more space… Follow your memory, your original memory, and march forth…” Zidane: “Garland, what exactly is our memory!?” G: “…” Z: “Why can […]
#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 45
Wow, it’s been a long-long time since this was updated, it’s not that I’d forgotten or put the game down, its that other things happened. First I did a playthrough of Alan Wake for “Horroctober” then when I returned to FFIX the left stick on my Vita was acting up. I tried to swap it […]
Final Fantasy XIV: La Voyage dans la Lune – Or my crackpot made up version of what to expect from Endwalker.

When stuck for inspiration, lists are usually a good place to go. I don’t do them a whole lot but they can be a lot of fun for both the writer and the reader. Recently RetroChi on Twitter posted her TierMaker list of her favourite Final Fantasy games: Please don't lynch me. #finalfantasyrankingI want to […]
Why inclusivity in gaming is a good thing
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 […]
