The login issues though. As of Dec 6, EU-region, the game is unavailable for playing since afternoon for 3 days straight. Now even queues are not in question - all those tribal dances around the fire with "fast re-log" (btw, didn't work, even if it was 40 seconds), "abandon your wi-fi", "sit for 5 hours … Continue reading FFXIV: The Second Day of Endwalker

*spoiler alert*: I will be discussing a piece of the story that I saw so far in the end of the post, and mark it with a headline. Until that, it's a safe read. Login Issues First of all, I did not manage to play much. I played 3 hours on Friday, logged out at … Continue reading FFXIV: The First Day of Endwalker

There we are, my final anima/farming trip for 9.0. and 9.1. patches. Little is left: Fae sets for extra activities, and my goals until 9.2. will be complete. I'm tracking the anima stores per toon - once I surpass 1k, it can be transfered to the alt in question. But I think I would accumulate … Continue reading WoW: the End of the Anima Tunnel

FFXIV is in a really strange state to me today - or rather, the timing of the next expansion release and my progress. I'm totally ready for the next expansion. Of course, my Dragoon does not have the top Shadowbringers expansion gear, but 493 is quite fine for a start. I'm glad that I finished … Continue reading Pre-Endwalker Day of Silence: The Next Season Incoming

Well, yeah, I'm playing WoW :) Yesterday I had the mood and missed my toons, so I did a Korthia round across my roster. Nothing special, just anima quests and rares on the way. Rewards vary, so some got 4 anima quests, some got none, and some got 2-3. I skipped razorwing talons, because it's … Continue reading Trivia: WoW Anima & FFXIV Alt Jobs

Let's start with the some baseline rules and background before we jump deeper. I am a WoW player for over than a decade and a fan of the universe since 90s. It's always been the game and the setting to me. Currently I'm playing actively, although I entered into a lull before 9.2. patch. I … Continue reading FFXIV as a WoW Player’s Experience: Is It Worth Playing?

So... what about World of Warcraft? It's true, during the past week it seemed like this blog was about Final Fantasy, but for a reason. First of all, I was deep into the story there and approached its finale, so I just could not get away from it or think about anything else before I … Continue reading WoW: With a Little Help From My Friends

The past couple of days I've been following my plan - unlocking alt jobs that I was eager to play and making my first steps from starting level, with all of them. First of all, I've decided I would settle with DPS until I really, really have nothing else to do. Acquiring Astrologian, trying to … Continue reading FFXIV: Trying Alt Jobs – Part II

Expansion and story catch up done, I'm ready for Endwalker, and it's time to look back at Shadowbringers! The initiate expansion impressions were listed in my previous post, so let's start from where we've stopped last time: Kholusia/main story ending and the patch stories. Kholusia - part 2 - was a nice example of people … Continue reading FFXIV: Shadowbringers Review

As I'm approaching the end of the current story - just started 5.3. content, and that's only 3 chapters left to go - I inevitably turn my attention to other activities. The first and the most exciting of them is, of course, trying new classes, or jobs. I did not try them all so far, … Continue reading FFXIV: Trying Alt Jobs
