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 […]
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: Midweek homework
So, Saturday evening I didn’t quite get to the same stage as most of the rest of the group who have rolled new characters over on the Behemoth server. The majority had boarded airships and reached the first dungeon. That was my goal for the week so that I was at the same starting point […]
Final Fantasy XIV: The journey to our first dungeon
You may remember last weekend, I started another playthrough style post, this time focused on me restarting Final Fantasy XIV along with a bunch of others and that, as a group, we’d be playing as these characters every Saturday evening, well week one was a huge success, and we all seemed to have returned for […]
The Ceremony of Eternal Bonding
A couple of weeks ago, I happened upon the Twitch streamer AmiPlays, it was literally a link to her stream that had appeared on my Twitter time line. I’m not one for watching streams usually, I’ve given the whole thing a go myself but, well, I’m just not very good at talking. Anyway, like I […]
