There are many ways to play through Final Fantasy XIV’s Shadowbringers expansion. I am playing as a goggle-wearing Viera Dancer, dancing and damaging my way toward the finish line. I can’t cover all of the job class changes, role-based questlines, and side content before my review drops. But other FFXIV players can certainly tell me all about them.
It’s ridiculous. Every time I log in to work my way through Final Fantasy XIV’s latest expansion, I find more things to gush over. Rather than spam my Twitter followers with GIFs and references to Shadowbringers, I’m using the third leg of my journey towards a full review to get all the goodness thus far out of my system.
Here stands Clan Destine, level 70 red mage, ready to take on the ultimate story battle in Final Fantasy XIV's latest expansion. She'll get to it eventually, but there's a lot more to Stormblood than epic battles and new job classes.
Since Final Fantasy XIV's Stormblood expansion launched in early access on Friday morning, I've leveled a Red Mage from 50 to 60 and taken my first steps into the city state of Ala Mhigo. Imagine what I could have accomplished had the servers been anywhere near stable!
When you're working through the post 110 content of World of Warcraft's Legion expansion with one Alliance character and are getting bored of running through the same content on five others, sometimes you need to take a walk on the Horde side.
After my first month in NCsoft's martial arts MMO Blade & Soul I hit a wall. I wasn't annoyed or frustrated. In fact up to that point I'd been enjoying myself immensely. I was satisfied with what I had played, and felt no need to continue. That's odd, right?
It's been a little over three weeks since I started playing NCsoft's martial arts MMO import, and my desire to reach the level cap has lessened considerably.
Last night I fell asleep in my computer chair.
I'd love to be able to report this week that I've reached the new level cap and experienced some of the high-end content Final Fantasy XIV's first expansion has to offer, but first I need to figure out which version of my character I want to be.
At around 4 AM Eastern this morning, less than a week after the release of World of Warcraft's fifth expansion pack, my little Draenei boy became a level 100 Shaman. That was awfully fast.
In preparation for our full review of The Elder Scrolls Online, each week I'll be presenting a journal of what I've been doing in the game. Except for the previous two weeks, because those logs would have been boring.
It's been one week since I donned my tail and cat ears and began my journey into The Elder Scrolls Online, and I'm having a much better time on day seven than I did on day one.
Welcome to the third and final MMO Log before we slap a review on Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn and call it the better part of a month. This week I'm taking a look at the PlayStation 3 version of the game, which is just like the PC version after three or four beers.
I really wanted this week's video MMO log for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn to show you my ascension from Lancer to Dragoon at level 30, but I fell short. That I'm bummed about it says a lot about how I feel about the game.
I got a lot of flack last weekend when I wrote about Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn's launch being a disaster. I get the feeling people thought I was dissing the game. That's just not true.
Last week, I posted less-than-favourable launch day impressions of Trion Worlds' Defiance, the massively multiplayer shooter tie-in to SyFy's upcoming original series. I bemoaned the lack of PC options, criticised the silly vehicle physics and worried over its lack of general chat functionality. A week later those issues are still present, yet I've been playing voraciously whenever free time strikes. Here's why.
Having spent a couple of weeks in the exiled world of Arborea in the delicate boots of a pretty pink Sorcerer, for my second MMO log I decided to take the long, strange trip to mid-level madness in something a little more sturdy.
