Final Fantasy XIV, aka Final Fantasy: The Rebooted MMO if you agree that Roman numerals are as useful an invention as the bum-sponges once you get past ten, enters the third phase of its beta today. As a consequence, you’re going to find yourself fighting alongside the nice people of PlayStation land. Say hello! Nicely. […]

To say that FFXIV had a troublesome launch is an understatement. Upon release in 2010, every single aspect of Squeenix’s MMO was broken. It was a disaster.
