The good news is that the system is much more functional than it was before (I’ve updated the title of this post to reflect that). …

Can’t you just imagine imagine a camera flashing between these two? The similarities are too much to deny, Square Enix! We’re onto your secret Caulkin manifesto, bringing the child star back to the mainstream! There will never be a Home Alone 5! Never I tell you! Neveeeeeer!

It’s been a little funny playing FFXIV the past couple of weeks. A lot of what people were so scared of has turned out to be a non-issue. Fatigue and quest limits in particular have gone pretty much unmentioned by the majority of players actually in-game. The non-issue of the fatigue system is especially noticeable. …

After thinking on it, reflecting on the comments and words of encouragement I’ve received, I’ve decided that the best option in discussing the highs and lows of FFXIV is to simply share my own experiences and write about it without trying to convince anyone either way. Early on, I think I did a decent job …

Update: And here’s this week’s Lagwar article: The War on the Subscription. Enjoy!
