Staff Blog
We love a good feature here at Final Fantasy Union! We look to provide an interesting spectrum of hard hitting opinion pieces, mixed in with lighter features around cosplay, fun facts and our adventures in Final Fantasy XIV. We appreciate you might not be interested in everything we do that's off the beaten path, but there's at least something for eveyone!

Welcome To The New Final Fantasy Union!
I can't even remember the last time Final Fantasy Union had a website refresh, but what I can remember is the amount of times we have tried and failed to launch a new version of the website during that time. It has been a long journey, that's for sur...

More Feedback Required, It's All Rather Appreciated!
Yes, your memory serves you correctly. In January we asked you what you liked most about Final Fantasy Union, with topics ranging from the site itself, to the podcast and even Twitter. We now want to look to the future, and to that end, we want to hear what you'd like...

What Do You Want For The Next Character Battle?
We've been teasing it for a little bit, and as you've probably guessed, the next Final Fantasy Union Character Battle is upon is. However, we need your help deciding what we should actually do with it. We had a really great turn-out for our first ever Character Battle last year. It...
Staff Blog: Comments Semi-Working Again, New Character Battle
Howdy folks, I hope everyone had a rather refreshing weekend. I know some of you were getting your Dissidia on, which is awesome! Anyway, serious business time. When the new version of GamingUnion.net launched, we had to take the comments system down on the Union websites due to the new forum...

Staff Blog: Peaches And Toothpicks
Hello everybody, it's been ages since the last staff blog - and cosplay feature, for that matter - but I'm back this week with some random things to talk about. No, I'm not going to talk about peaches, I think we've all heard enough about that̢...
Staff Blog: When Darryl Met Yoshinori Kitase
Wow, what a week it's been. I was in Germany last week for GamesCom 2010 and I managed to schedule up an appointment to see The 3rd Birthday - Square Enix's next iteration into the Parasite Eve franchise. I was extremely surprised when I walked into the room and I...

The Misadventures Of Final Fantasy Union: You Can't Dodge Fate
First, I want to start be apologising for the lack of a comic last week. We did plan ahead and start working on this episode super early, but things didn't really go to plan, especially with E3 slap-bang in the middle of when it was supposed to come out! Hopefully you...
Staff Blog: The Trials Of E3
Hello hello people! Colin here and I've commandeered the staff blog for the week. Well, I was supposed to do it last week but it seems that I had neglected to. The site's looking great, activity-wise, not visually. No no, I would be praising myself if I said that! Well it's...
