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.
So, in discussing the new trailer etc for Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker a few things have happened. The first is that I’ve dusted off my PSP to play through Final Fantasy IV as fans of the series that have played more entries than I have pointed out some things the Endwalkers trailer has in common […]
Ranking Final Fantasy
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 […]
#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 […]
#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 43
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 […]

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 […]
