Nostalgia and the Super Nintendo

With FFXIV launching tomorrow, I haven’t had much desire to play other MMOs. I’ve spent a little time working on Book 7 in LotRO but knowing that I’ll soon be have a new “main game” somehow makes the experience feel empty. With the blogosphere raging over the great nostalgia debate of 2010 (also known as …

A Note Before We Begin: In no way is this a “WoW is dying,” dead, or other kind of jilted lover post. Just thought I’d get that out of the way first 😉 Edit: Title updated to better reflect my thoughts. Edit #2: I’ve been struggling to share the concern I have for Cataclysm-era WoW. …

The following was written after the first hour of play and several more researching forums and fansites. If anything is misrepresented here, please feel free to share it in the comments below. Follow-Up: As I played the game for another hour or so this evening, I encountered an issue I’d only heard about previously. When …

The Post-WoW Haze

Something happens to me when I play WoW, and I’d bet it happens to a lot of players. When I play, I do it to the exclusion of most other games. I recall looking at my PS3 through this last bit and thinking that it looked a bit sad, gathering dust on its stand. My …

Hey Gang, Even though I’m absent this week, I wanted to pop in to share the latest episode of the Multiverse with you. Ferrel was at DragonCon this week, so Riknas and I held down the fort talking about everything under the sun. Specifically, here are some of the things we hit on: Cryptic serves …

Hey Guys, Without turning this into too much of a personal post, I just wanted to let you all know that I may be around much this week. My step-father is having some serious health issues (heart and respiratory) and my family is really in disarray. I’ve been spending most of my time at the …

FFXIV is Meant For Consoles; a Suggestion for ALL Players

Categories:

a. MMORPG

September 5, 2010

by

The more I play through the FFXIV open beta, the more apparent it is that the game is really meant to be a console experience. Everything about it just screams “port.” From the menu design, to the seeming expectation for players to only hop in for an hour or so a day, FFXIV is the …

Updated Expectations for FFXIV

September 3, 2010

by

With open beta registrations still wholly in the dark, I’ve been stalking FFXIV Core all day waiting for an update. Though Square has pretty much said “hold tight” and little else, I’ve found reading the boards to be especially interesting. Up until today,  they were largely dominated by the very optimistic but very uninitiated Final …

FFXIV: Excitements, Concerns, and Beta Problems

September 2, 2010

After a brief delay, the FFXIV open beta is back on. I’m usually steer clear of betas, but I’ve been following this game too long not to try it out. It’d be like having to look at a new toy for three weeks before playing with it. So, around ten o’clock last night, I started …
