Current Stuffs

As life goes, endings must always arrive. This also holds true for MMORPGs, though how permanent the ending is depends on the player. I’ve personally found FFXIV’s current expansion, Endwalker, to be a bit underwhelming, considering I went into it with every single quest completed. Maybe as someone with more free time than she cares ... Read More

A Sign of Life?

Holy cow, it’s been ages since I wrote anything here. So so sorry! The last post I made was musings on the MMOs I’ve played for the last 20ish years, so let’s make a more modern update on that. First off, some IRL updates. About a year and a half after that post I changed ... Read More

Of Vana’diel, Eorzea, and Azeroth…

I’ve played a lot of MMOs over the years, some noteworthy, others not so much. Focusing on the noteworthy side, I’ve chosen to make the first post in nearly two years about what I consider the most noteworthy MMOs I have played: Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy XIV, and World of Warcraft. Why are these ... Read More

Patch 2.4, Miscellany, and Expansion Packs

Oh boy, I’ve not posted in here in ages! Guess that means I’ve been keeping myself busy enough. Anyway, today is the big maintenance for FFXIV Patch 2.4, which adds a new class and associated job, the final leg of the Coil raids, a new type of token currency, and even more main storyline. How ... Read More

Back in Eorzea

I’d toyed with reactivating my FFXIV account after reading about the additions in 2.2 and how the game is starting to have more content. However, I decided that if I were to do this, it wouldn’t be on Sargatanas. Sure, my old friends from Ragnarok FFXI are there, and if I really wanted to, I ... Read More

Transitioning: Vana’diel to Eorzea and Beyond

Well, it’s been quite a while since I posted here! In the past, oh, 8 months or so since my last post, I played through the FF14 beta phases and did some goofing off in FF11 between them, all leading up to the release of FF14, which I jumped into with both feet. I ended ... Read More

New Year, New Goals, and a Beta?

It’s been a while since I blogged here, hasn’t it? Since last July, I’ve waffled between FFXI, FFXIV, and Guild Wars 2, which I picked up on release date. GW2 was fun at the start and I actually enjoyed doing some PvP as a Guardian. I quickly got a little tired of it, however, once ... Read More

Vana’diel to Eorzea and Back Again

Apologies to J. R. R. Tolkien for mangling “There and Back Again” for this post’s title. By the end of March, after a few weeks of slogging through Vana’diel mostly on my own or with a couple of friends, relegated to being RDM or a rather gimp non-relic DRK, later on a very underequipped, underskilled, ...
