The Misadventures Of Final Fantasy Union: Diarrhea Applies To Many Things

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.

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).

Final Fantasy Versus and Agito XIII Gets Combined Trailer At TGS

Final Fantasy Versus and Agito XIII Gets Combined Trailer At TGS

I believe Tetsuya Nomura has fallen victim to the addiction that is Twitter. Either that or he's still using it because he has no choice in the matter. It's all too amusing really.

In any case, Nomura has revealed some details about the Versus and Agito showings at this year's TGS. Both Versus and Agito will be receiving the trailer treatment, however, Square Enix is planning on combining to the two into one one-minute trailer showing off in-game footage. The catch is, and it's no real big surprise, it won't be shown to the public.

Final Fantasy XIV's Fatigue System: Much Ado About Nothing

Final Fantasy XIV's Fatigue System: Much Ado About Nothing

Alright so in recent days, a certain feature of Final Fantasy XIV was brought under the ever watchful and scrutinizing eyes of the gaming populace. Basically, the issue is FFXIV's going to limit your playtime. Once a player hits 8 hours of game time, experience gained starts to drop, hit 15 hours and there won't be any gain at all. It's called the Fatigue system.

"First off, the main concept behind FFXIV is allowing those players with little time on their hands to play effectively, and game balance is based off of that.

"Furthermore, it is being designed to not give those with more time on their hands to play an unfair advantage."

Game director Nobuaki Komoto was recently quoted briefly explaining the system, describing it as a means to curb those with an unfair advantage - aka those with lots and lots of time on their hands. According to Eurogamer and VG247, it keeps track of how long players are on and limits the amount of experienced earned after so many hours.

This is what sparked the outrage among fans.
