It’s Christmas In Final Fantasy‘s Midgar, Atop The Plate At Least

The shadow of the Shinra Corporation Headquarters is much less oppressive now that Second Life’s long-running Final Fantasy VII role-playing sim is lit with holiday cheer. But do the residents of Midgar’s slums know it’s Christmas? One of the first places I visited in Second Life when I first logged in back in 2007 was…

And Now, The Inevitable Final Fantasy XV Porn Parody

For a game that took so long to come out, the porn world had no problem shooting out a FFXV parody right quick. Note: This article contains content some readers might find objectionable. Of course, if it exists, there is a porn of it. Since Final Fantasy XV does exist, we have this, as noted…

That Time A Player Claimed Final Fantasy VI‘s Gogo Was The Governor Of Illinois

The identity of Gogo, Final Fantasy VI’s secretive mime, is one of the game’s best kept secrets. Over the years players have surmised that Gogo was Daryl, the dashing airship pilot who crashed without a trace, or Emperor Gestahl, looking for redemption after Kefka destroyed the world. But there’s a wild theory, based on false…

Okay, Final Fantasy XV, Your Jump Button Is A Problem

Hi, Final Fantasy XV. You’re weird and I like you. But we need to talk about your jump button real quick. Specifically, the fact that your jump button is the same as your “interact” button. Do I need to jump? Press X. Need to open a door? Press X. Need to talk to an NPC…

Yes, Final Fantasy XIV Really Was This Bad The First Time Around

Since its 2013 relaunch as A Realm Reborn, Final Fantasy XIV is one of the best massively multiplayer role-playing games going, but let’s not forget the poor performance, shoddy lighting effects and nightmarish copy-pasted landscapes from the original 2010 release that made the relaunch necessary in the first place. YouTube’sSpeakers Network has launched the first…

Final Fantasy XV, a video game about four men who just love hanging out and wearing black, has a few glaring issues. For example: The plot is a complete mess. The emotional beats are all there—by the end of the journey it’s hard not to care deeply about Noctis and his crew—but the story is…
