Glamour & Other Miscellany in the World of Final Fantasy XIV
It’s been quite some time since the last new Mog Station glamour release (with Alma’s Attire having been released all the way back at the beginning of December). This week finally brought a new one, which has been anticipated since the beginning of Shadowbringers (with even Yoshi-P saying at one point he wanted it added […]

We’re a little ways into the latest major patch for Shadowbringers, and I’ve finally had time to dip my toes into most of the new central content (outside of Ocean Fishing, which I should probably try sometime soon). Like most even-numbered patches, 5.2 brings all of the familiar things: a new raid tier (Eden’s Verse), […]

It’s been a long time since I’ve done a more general post about FFXIV, but with my glamours all in a pretty good spot and no new dungeon sets for Shadowbringers to collect (for now), I’m thinking a lot about what Patch 5.2 will bring when it hits in late February. While, for once, I’m […]

The update also added a new outfit to the shop that’s been hiding in the game’s files for quite some time: Krile’s Attire, […]

Just as I was gearing up to go on my yearly vacation, Square Enix added a pair of new outfits to the Mog Station. As is often the case, the two new sets (one for males and one for females) originate from other versions of the game, so they’ve been lurking around in the game’s […]

Since it’s re-release as Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, FFXIV has largely lived in the shadow of its original form as Final Fantasy XIV Online, which launched in such a poor state that Square Enix took the unprecedented step of rebuilding the game almost from the ground up, leading to the game’s re-release in […]

We’re mere days away from the release of Final Fantasy XIV’s third expansion, Shadowbringers, and we’ve reached the end of its second, Stormblood, with the recently released launch trailer shifting all the community’s energy toward the next expansion. As I did at the end of Heavensward, I’ve been taking this time before Shadowbringers to look back at Stormblood, with emphasis on […]
