Even though it’s only been out for a couple of days, I didn’t waste any time diving into the latest FFXIV update. If you’ve been following this game for a while, then you probably know what to expect when it comes to these sort of patches. But, this update is special because it does include a long awaited feature… the...
It feels like the release of Endwalker was just yesterday. But in reality, it’s been several months since FFXIV’s latest expansion. And as usual SE has been busy working on new content for fans to enjoy. Now, if you’ve been paying attention to everything going on in the world of Final Fantasy XIV, you might be wondering what new...
It’s here! The Final Fantasy XIV expansion that brings an end to the game’s ten-plus year-long storyline – Endwalker. This expansion brings FFXIV up to version 6.0, and as mentioned earlier, finally brings an end the Hydaelyn/Zodiark story-arc. This add-on sees the level cap raised to 90 and includes two new playable jobs; Sage and Reaper. As usual with any...
It’s hard to think that this time last year I had all but quit playing Final Fantasy XIV. A lot has changed since then, and I’m not just talking about the game itself. For starters, my wife has recently started playing again after an almost eight year hiatus. In fact, so has my son! But that’s not all… After over...
Wow. It’s been a while since I’ve talked in detail about Final Fantasy XIV. I suppose that’s because I took a year off from the game! I know, that’s pretty hard to believe. Ever since the original launch of FFXIV 1.0, I’ve been an avid player. But after nine years of consistent playing, both the toxic community and the repetition...
After nearly ten years, I have finally decided to retire from Final Fantasy XIV. The Final Fantasy series has always been special to me, and always will be. I’ve loved every single game in the series thus far. When Final Fantasy XI was first announced, I scoffed at the idea of it being a subscription-based MMO. But, I was ultimately...
When it comes to classic CRPGs, few games can compare to the heralded Ultima series. It was a franchise that helped define a genre of games for generations to come. Crafted by the legendary Richard Garriott, each game that bore the Ultima title attempted to break new ground in nearly every aspect of gameplay. For many years, the series...
Ultima Online. The grandfather of all MMOs. We are now to the point in my Ultima series playthrough where I’m going to take a moment to discuss this iconic title. While technically not the first MMORPG, Ultima Online is the one responsible for bringing online gaming to the attention of the masses. It was originally released in 1997, and as...
I just completed a post discussing the most recent update to Final Fantasy XIV. But I wanted to take a moment to talk a bit about the current state of the game. Final Fantasy XIV has been very much an emotional rollercoaster since its release. Like everyone else, I was excited when the game was first announced, only to be...
It has been sixty days since the launch of RIFT Prime. As promised, I’m here with an update and to share my thoughts on the state of this “progression server” experiment. Since my last post, not a whole lot has changed in the world of RIFT Prime. Trion Worlds really seems to be taking the progression aspect at a fairly...
