Character Battle 2010: Barret Wallace VS Wakka
Thu, Sep 2nd, 2010, 7:46 pm (EST) by Darryl
Well, that's one less race represented in the character battle as Kimahri Ronso has bowed out. It was a close battle, but he succumbed to Blank, from Final Fantasy IX.
Today, we have two heavyweights from the world of Final Fantasy. Shinra hating Barret Wallace from Final Fantasy VII squares off against the Al Bhed hating Wakka from Final Fantasy X.
Character Battle 2010: Kimahri Ronso VS Blank
Thu, Sep 2nd, 2010, 1:32 am (EST) by Colin
Sorry about the delay but better late then never as they always say. Edea just mopped the floor with Gippal's one-eyed face. Is it because he's from X-2? That was rhetorical, by the way, no need to answer that.
Tonight's round has Kimahri Ronso from Final Fantasy X take on Blank from Final Fantasy IX. Now both are supporting characters in each of their respective games. Kimahri's the silent warrior and Blank is Zidane's wingman. I needn't remind everyone that he sacrificed himself in the Evil Forest to save the party.
The Misadventures Of Final Fantasy Union: Diarrhea Applies To Many Things

What time is it!? It's TIGER TI- oh wait, this isn't an alcoholic beverage commercial. It's time for our weekly misadventures! We last left off with a good amount of climbing to do. Shinra's hosting an all-you-can-eat buffet and I'm not one to pass up on free food, trap or not.
There's always a catch though and it looks like we're not where we thought we would be. Tifa's a bit lost and Barret has to change Cloud's diapies. Meanwhile, the two adventurers attempt to find out where they are by communicating with the local denizens.

New Schedule For Final Fantasy XIV Open Beta Announced
Wed, Sep 1st, 2010, 2:32 pm (EST) by Colin
Alrighty it looks like the beta is finally up and ready to go! Previously, Square Enix posted a postponement notice on the official beta site delaying the start of the open beta thank to "critical bugs." Well it looks like those bugs have been dealt with and the open beta will start today at 1900 hours, PDT.
Along with the completion on investigation and correction of the critical issue, we have decided to begin FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test on Sep. 1, 2010 at 19:00 (PDT).
Character Battle 2010: Gippal VS Edea Kramer
Tue, Aug 31st, 2010, 5:12 pm (EST) by Darryl
Another round, another character that's disproving Shawn's theory about the older Final Fantasy games. Celes Chere, from Final Fantasy VI, just beat Cid Raines from Final Fantasy XIII. And no, I don't care that she's a main character and he's a minor one!
Today's fight is between two light heavyweight characters as they both have semi-important roles in their respective games. Gippal, from Final Fantasy X-2, squares off against Edea Kramer from Final Fantasy VIII.
Final Fantasy XIV Open Beta Postponed
Tue, Aug 31st, 2010, 1:40 pm (EST) by Colin
Square Enix have posted up a notice on the beta site saying that the open beta has been postponed from the initially announced August 31, 1900 hours PDT, which I assume is September, 1400 GMT. Darn these time zones.
The postpone is "due to a confirmation of critical bugs" and a new schedule will be announced at a later date.
Here is the notice,
FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test Postponed
FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test, which is scheduled to begin at 19:00 (PDT) on Aug. 31, 2010, will be postponed due to a confirmation of critical bugs. New schedule will be released at a later date.
Along with the postponement of FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test, the issuing of registration code for FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test will be postponed as well. With the download of client software's installer, it will be suspended at 19:00 (PDT) on Aug. 31, 2010.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
