Updates/Expansions galore!

Wow, what a exciting week for MMO players!...well if you're into World of Warcraft, Aion or Final Fantasy XIV. All three games launched an update this and last week and they all seem to bring something interesting to their games:

Until we meet again, Eorzea!

It's been fun Final Fantasy XIV, but it's time for me to move on. No more hanging out with the Malboro's in the Black Shroud. Farewell to frolicking in the Ul'dan desert. Say bye-bye to the sandy beaches in La Noscea. Seriously, I'm glad that I gave this game another chance especially when I thought I was never going to play it again! Running the remaining dungeons, hitting level 50 for the first time, and doing raids/extreme trials were very memorable moments.  The raid system here is very fun and I love how they set up certain boss fights to take advantage of the different groups. Even leaving the game I still have so many things to accomplish. So why in the world did I decide to take a break?

Final Fantasy XIV Patch 2.51 - Golden Saucy Goodness!

Well I definitely don't keep up with everything in this game, hell I had no idea this patch was coming out...what a pleasant surprise! Patch 2.51 released it's most anticipated content thus far: The Golden Saucer!

The Golden Saucer? You mean the Golden Saucer from, like, Final Fantasy 7??

It's not quite exactly the same place, but dammit, what they do have is freaking awesome! Even the music is faithful to the original place!

I didn't get to play much, but I did get a chance to win (and lose) a couple of card matches, spend some token on the plethora of carni games they have around the area, and of course, get my chocobo racing on! 

Based on what I've seen and read, this was a most welcome addition to Final Fantasy XIV. The only problem is that I have so much to do already! And I can see myself addicted to chocobo racing. I guess in an MMO, that's a good problem to have.

Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn - My Thoughts So Far

So it's been over a year since I laid eyes on FF14, mainly because World of Warcraft had my full undivided attention. I mean MoP was a success as far as storytelling and WoD was even better! But after the glitter and glamour wore out, so did my interest. I figured, "Hey, they added a ninja class. Let's see what's up with FF14". Me and my crew were more than eager to return back to that world .
