Well, what can I say? Even at the lowest of its lowest moments, FFXIV manages to deliver. Long story short; Arcadion raid was the best that has happened in this "vacation-themed" expansion. I was not impressed by the MSQ story at all, relic weapons is smth I dropped immediately due insane amount of grind, and … Continue reading FFXIV Rant: Incoming
FFXIV and Other Games: A Blogger’s Update
I'm disappointing each and every one of my subscribers, I know :) But there's a lot happening IRL, and I've just recently come back to gaming. See for yourself: upon my login in October in FFXIV I've realized that my last login was in August. Oh gosh :) So, what's going on? IRL: I'm very, … Continue reading FFXIV and Other Games: A Blogger’s Update
FFXIV: A Small Pre-Patch Update
Long time, no see! I've just realized that I haven't even covered the 7.2. story yet, and 7.3. is right across the corner, in the beginning of August! FFXIV is pretty much the only game today that I'm playing on a regular basis, and it fits as it's not that time consuming at all. Dawntrail … Continue reading FFXIV: A Small Pre-Patch Update
FFXIV: Combat Leveling Done!
Oh well, I caught up with leveling every combat job now :) Now I'm in a casual, non-time consuming cycle till the end of Dawntrail: MSQ every 6 months and a weekly raid run to keep up with the gear. It's so good that the game shuns grind as much as possible. I leveled all … Continue reading FFXIV: Combat Leveling Done!
FFXIV: Role Quests – Are What They Did Right in Dawntrail!
It's all in a name of the post. Actually, I could refrain from posting anything else. But I'd like to elaborate a bit here (and avoid spoilers as much as possible). Long story short, tonight I've finished DRK (Dark Knight) leveling (for no particular reason, it's my favorite tank in this expansion, so I went … Continue reading FFXIV: Role Quests – Are What They Did Right in Dawntrail!
Da Hell is the Blue Mage?
Right, so long story short, I tried the Blue Mage in FFXIV - just for fun, as intended. And I can't figure out how it works. I've been browsing all the guides, yes, but I can't figure out how it's done. I went to Qiqirn in Central Thanalan and learned "Faze" spell, and it's written … Continue reading Da Hell is the Blue Mage?
My Gaming… and Sorry for the Silence!
Long time, no see! Truly, this is a gaming blog, and I haven't shared anything for a while as I had very little time on my hands for games at all. There's music stuff I have to do for my new band, there's lots of events IRL. Mostly these are my favorite band gigs I'm … Continue reading My Gaming… and Sorry for the Silence!
WoW: War Within Its Story
So. Y'all probably know that I don't play WoW since I finished the launch story (up till the first raid entrance) in Dragonflight. The thing is, it does not touch me so far - for a while. And that's always been my most motivating thing that always kept me going. Not gameplay, not rewards, not … Continue reading WoW: War Within Its Story
FFXIV: Echoes of Vana’Diel – First Run
Jeuno: the First Walk - the first wing of Dawntrail's alliance raid series Echoes of Vana'diel, is here, and I ran it today as a part of the new patch content, and to get acquainted with my weekly gear-up routine till next patch. Dawntrail, in general, remains to be a "vacation" lighthearted expansion just like … Continue reading FFXIV: Echoes of Vana’Diel – First Run
FFXIV: Patch 7.1. Crossroads MSQ
*spoilers ahead FFXIV's first patch 7.1., Crossroads, proceeds with the previously touched themes of parents, loss and grief. I would be brief today, as there's nothing particularly important or new to discuss - at least nothing that I have not written before. Dawntrail remains the bleakest expansion so far storywise (even compared to ARR). It … Continue reading FFXIV: Patch 7.1. Crossroads MSQ
