Final Fantasy 14 is back in the limelight. After almost two grueling years of what I consider the MMO's least-impressive expansion (hardcore content not included), Evercold promises to bring a slew of changes to January 2027's 8.0 release… and I dare say it'll bring me back to the fold, too.
From long-needed changes to tomestones, roulettes, and item levels to job modes and (thank the Twelve) the death of the game's pesky two-minute meta, I finally feel as though I've got something to look forward to. It's a way I've not felt in some time now, with a dreadful sensation of fatigue looming over me following Dawntrail – one I'm not alone in sadly being accustomed to now, either, judging by its "Mixed" reviews over on Steam and our Dawntrail review having some strong criticism for its "middling" plot.
