Final Fantasy 14 is getting to be a mighty long game. With one base game, four expansions and a fifth one on the way, I don't think it's too out there to reckon that you'd be spending a good 300 — 400 hours ploughing through the story alone.
Final Fantasy 14 has a lot of neat nods and callbacks to the rest of the series. From the Final Fantasy 3-inspired Crystal Tower raid series to crossover events with entries like Final Fantasy 13 and 15, the MMO serves as a great homage to Square Enix's library of RPG classics.
Deck Nine Games, the studio behind Life is Strange: True Colors and Telltale's The Expanse, has announced it's laying off a fifth of its staff in the wake of «worsening market conditions.» It's the third developer to announce layoffs this week, and the fourth news of industry layoffs as a whole, and it's only Wednesday.
The flowers are blooming and we're finally transitioning out of frosty weather and dark, dreary nights. That can only mean one thing: A new season is upon us, and with it the Future Games Show Spring Showcase, as hosted by our sister site GamesRadar+. It's happening on March 31 at 1PM PDT / 4PM EDT / 8PM GMT, and it'll be a presentation chock-full of over 40 games from the likes of Bandai Namco, Quantic Dream, The Chinese Room and more. You can set a reminder for the show over on YouTube.
In what continues to be a very gruesome, tiring, and upsetting trend, Sony has announced that it will be laying off approximately 900 employees, which is around 8% of its workforce, in an attempt to «reduce [its] overall headcount globally». It marks the second-largest layoff in the industry this year.
Riot's fighting game has sent its working name, Project L, to the flames. From the ashes rises its new, far more terrible moniker: 2XKO. Despite what looks to be a very gorgeous, well-made 2v2 fighting game, the naming choice has people perplexed. How the hell do you pronounce that? Too-eks-kay-oh? Too-times-kay-oh? Nobody on the PC Gamer team was quite sure, and my FGC group chat was going into a collective meltdown over the title.
After 3,000 hours I have my fair share of cool mounts in Final Fantasy 14 and before I managed to nab my beloved Ceberus, the Regalia Type-G was one of my most-used by far. It's a convertible, three of your friends can hop in, and each seat even has its own special pose for every race. Unfortunately, it's locked behind the limited-time collaboration event with Final Fantasy 15.
People rage quitting halfway through a match in fighting games is nothing new, but it sure is annoying. It's an issue that has felt especially prevalent in Tekken 8, a game that has practically zero punishment for anyone who decides their internet is no longer working mid-game. That's hopefully looking to change soon, with director Katsuhiro Harada and other members of the development team addressing the issue around pluggers ('cause, y'know, pulling the plug) in a Tekken Talk livestream.
