Turns out our girlfriend was actually a robot this whole time, and Rufus Shinra needs her so that he can fire the laser on his solar-powered kill satellite.
So Acharky and I are off to space to stop him. That's just what one does when they're The Bouncer. After all, Bouncers put their life on...
Our martial arts master was apparently Rufus Shinra's bodyguard, and taught him how to fight or something. Also, our former best friend was part of some genetics experiment?
Whatever the case, our girlfriend is still kidnapped (and apparently Rufus Shinra's sister), and only The Bouncer can...
Some kid's girlfriend(?) has been kidnapped by the Shinra Electric Power Company, which is also building a solar-powered kill satellite in space. And for some reason, this kid and his two goober friends are tough enough to storm the corporate HQ in order to rescue the girl and save the day.
I...
Now that the Murder Castle is soundly behind us, it is time for Acharky and I to indulge in our... baser instincts. I have heard people talk about The Bouncer, mostly as a basis of comparison to our favorite stream game: THE QUIET MAN!
Lucky for me, Acharky is as morbidly curious about this...
Patch day has once again come to us denizens of Eorzea, and what a stellar patch it has been. The MSQ looks to be heading in an intriguing direction, the Pandaemonium raids are continuing, and a new season of PvP is upon us.

Final Fantasy XIV just released Patch 6.1, and with it a whole host of new content. The most drastic addition to the game is the complete overhaul of PvP combat and the replacement of The Feast with a new 5v5 PvP mode called Crystalline Conflict.
Let my character, Rabrandt Razorclaw, and I take...
If you told me that I would be doing Savage content in Final Fantasy XIV when I started playing in August 2020, I would not have believed you. And yet, here I am with a group of friends, gathering twice a week seeking to challenge the current high-end content for Endwalker.
Even more...
I've played a great many RPGs throughout the years. In that time, I have seen many design decisions constantly repeated and reiterated across various different games. Often it makes sense to reuse these tropes. For example, leveling up is such a core concept in RPGs that it would be strange to have...
(Spoiler Alert: This article contains significant spoilers for Bravely Default's story.) Last year, Square-Enix released a game which garnered much attention from JRPG fans. Taking inspiration from the Final Fantasy games from the NES/SNES-era, Bravely Default was seen as both a return to form for...
Of course, after playing Final Fantasy X, I just had to jump into the other game in the HD collection. Final Fantasy X-2 presents an interesting time in the history of the Final Fantasy series. This game was the very first in the main franchise to be a “true” sequel. Up until its release, each...
