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 […]
#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 […]
What Are You Reading? March 2021
Continuing from last month and being serious about trying to make this a regular feature, here’s the second instalment of “What Are You Reading?”. Not only is it a good way for me to hopefully engage with you guys, but it also gives me a bit of space to talk about books I may not […]
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 […]
#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 34
I decide not to begin the grind immediately. Now that the whole map is open to me I can get a bunch of other things done before its too late, things like side quests and a whole bunch of shopping. I pick a point on the map and just head there to see what there […]
