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 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 […]
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 […]
Multiplayer Anxiety
Today I want to talk about something I consistently struggle with and I’m certain others do too. You’ll see a lot of people online state they “don’t like multiplayer games”, and I’m sure they’re right, but I often wonder “why?”. With so much time and money invested into multiplayer experiences on all formats, and with […]
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 […]
Final Fantasy XIV: Soul of a Black Mage
Another busy weekend on Final Fantasy XIV, I did stream it but I’m not going to be doing that in future as I don’t really have any viewers and I’m not one for talking over a game when I’m playing it, so there’s nothing really there for anyone and at least two others stream the […]
Final Fantasy XIV: A Whole Lotta Unlockin
This week things are going to differ from previous posts relating to Cryspi Wonton’s adventures through Eorzea, previous instalments have dumped a whole load of story on you, name dropping people left, right and centre, there will obviously be a bit of that, but with how much I got through last night, this post would […]
