Void Terrarium 2 Story

The Void Terrarium 2 release date is here. It will appear on February 28, 2023 in North America and March 3, 2023 in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. A new trailer from NIS America is out now as well and centers the game's story and the player's "journey of hope." Formally titled void* tRrLM2(); //Void Terrarium 2 , the game will continue the journey of Robbie and Toriko in a hostile and deadly environment.

Check it out below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe0hfkeP0yM

The Void Terrarium 2 story is set after the events of the first game, following the defeat of the nefarious cloudAI. Now Toriko, the last human alive, and Robbie, her robotic caretaker, must fend for themselves in the hostile wastelands. Controlling Robbie, players need to explore the wastes looking for supplies to sustain Toriko's existence. They'll also need to dig deeper into the past than ever before. A mysterious disease threatens to end the helpless waif, and the clues to her future lie buried in the past.

The trailer also contains some gameplay footage, showing off the top-down exploration aspects, caring for Toriko, and even some helping presences. A new entity called factoryAI can be repaired and dedicated to helping Robbie and Toriko. One other hint in the Void Terrarium 2 story trailer shows off a "hacking" or "memory exploration" aspect, where Robbie can look through glimpses of the past. Robbie is shown exploring a different environment populated by living humans. The graphical style in these sections is also a deliberate departure, recalling retro RPGs.

Void Terrarium 2 PS4 and Nintendo Switch release date is February 28, 2023 in North America and March 3, 2023 in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. The NISA Online Store sells a limited physical edition of the game that includes acrylic standees and art cards.

Which Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Starter Will You Pick best

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are, like any entry in the series, getting lots of attention for their starter Pokemon. Which also leads to the important questions. Which one do you choose? Yes, you can eventually get all of them. But which one are you thinking is the one? We've been pondering it and wanted to share our thoughts.


I haven't played a Pokémon game to completion since Pokémon Yellow way back in the day, but Scarlet and Violet have me excited to give the franchise another go for the first time in manyy years.

Call me boring if you like, but one of the reasons Sprigatito appeals to me is that it really is just "a cat, but green." The profiles also describe Sprigatito as "capricious and attention-seeking," which aligns quite well with the cat that currently terrorizes my household, so I guess I also find that #relatable. Sprigatito is also the Grass starter, bringing it closer to my personal fave Bulbasaur, and is colored that lovely shade of mint green that reminds me of vintage refrigerators. An aesthetic triple-threat of "cat" + "grass" + "desirable home appliance." I say that's a win. — Josh

Which Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Starter Will You Pick best

Listen, Sprigatito is super cute, but I remember what Litten in Pokemon Sun and Moon turns into. Incineroar is literally just a big bara cat. You would be living with a big bara cat. And after seeing some truly awful Internet posts about Incineroar, I don't think I could ever look that thing in the eye.

The fear of Sprigatito turning into a big bara cat that the Internet will be weird towards is just too great, and thus, I will be picking Quaxly when I pick up Pokemon Scarlet.

And you know what? I truly think that I'll be in the winning camp. Quaxly looks crazy goofy but guess what other Water-type starter looked goofy? Popplio. And Popplio turned into the beautiful Primarina. (I'm still salty about how mean people were about Popplio and then how quickly they changed their tune about Primarina!) And remember Piplup? And how OP Empoleon was in Diamond/Pearl? Bird-like Water starter, my friend. All the past data is showing that the Water starter will be the superior one and that's why I know for sure that Quaxly will be the best pick. — Stephanie

Sprigatito

Which Pokemon Scarlet and Violet starter I'll pick depends on the evolutions for me. I really like grass-type and fire-type Pokemon. So much so that I've made full grass-type teams for fun.

If Sprigatito ends up staying on all four feet for its evolutions, then I guess I'll pick it and deal with hearing it sing "Despacito" in my head all day. But if it decides to go bipedal, then Fuecoco will be my buddy. — Jenni

Fuecoco

I'm more than happy to be the Fuecoco supporter here at Siliconera. There's just something so honest about the little pal. Quaxly is definitely trying to sell me something and will inevitably evolve into increasingly strange forms. Fuecoco is joyous and enthusiastic! Plus, it helps that Pokemon games almost always have easy and early access to some solid Grass and Water-types for your team. Fire? Not so much.

Also? I'm allergic to cats. — Graham

Which Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Starter Will You Pick best

I am also on Team Fuecoco. All three of the starters look pretty darn good, but there's just something about Fuecoco that I really like. It is friend-shaped and looks like it's really happy just to be here (doesn't matter where "here" is). Plus, it's a crocodile, and crocodiles are cool. Now, I will say that I'm going to wait to see the typing for all three of the fully evolved forms before I make my final decision, but like Graham said, Fire-types tend to be a bit of a rarity, so Fuecoco probably already has a leg up on that end too. The other two are gonna have a tough time beating out this adorable little guy as the starter I choose. — Adam

     Valkyrie Elysium Uncap Framerate 1If you're playing Valkyrie Elysium on PC, you might be wondering why the game has a max fps of 60. It's an Unreal Engine 4 game, so there are no aspects of the game that would be limited by framerate. The bad news is that there's no way to uncap the framerate in Valkyrie Elysium within the program itself. The good news is that using an external program makes it super easy to the point that it really just takes seconds to get it done. I'm going to break down all you need to know and what you have to do to get the game to run at whatever framerate you want. First, you'll need to download Universal Unreal Engine 4 Unlocker, which you can get here. Once you've downloaded the files, unpack the contents wherever you want them using your .rar extractor of choice. Now boot up Valkyrie Elysium. Next, you'll want to go to where you put the Unlocker files you just downloaded. One of the files is an .exe called UuuClient.exe. Simply double-click that o...

     Valkyrie Elysium Pc Port 5I don't quite understand why Valkyrie Elysium's PC port showed up later than the console version. Granted, it was just a little more than a month, but we have access to it now. People who bought the deluxe version of the game got a single extra sword and a free pre-order of the HD console release of Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth. If you bought the deluxe edition on PC, you also got the sword. Pre-ordering it on PC also meant you got to play the game three days early because Lenneth isn't coming to PC. That seems fairly messed up to me. Valkyrie Elysium's PC Port is, like Harvestella's, mostly fine. The game runs well with consistent performance, despite some stuttering that tends to show up in Unreal Engine 4 games made by people somewhat less familiar with the intricacies of said engine. The game doesn't look good, appearing like a default UE4 game, complete with weird semi-cel-shading. The draw distance is also poor, even though the game has a fair ...

     World Of Horror Release Clown FaceThe Halloween season may have ended more than a week ago, but that doesn't mean we can't still get a bit of spooky news every once in a while. In this case, publisher Ysbryd Games revealed during Nintendo's recent Indie World Showcase that the positively received 2020 horror RPG World of Horror will finally transition out of Early Access and release sometime next summer. For those who don't know, World of Horror serves as something of a tribute to the classic 1-bit games that made their home on old DOS and Amiga computers. Its dialogue-heavy gameplay premise resembles old-school text adventures like Elvira: Mistress of the Dark and Personal Nightmare, although World of Horror goes even further with its retro aesthetic. The game basks its simple MS Paint visuals in an entirely monochromatic color scheme. And although this may not appeal to everyone, it certainly goes a long way toward enhancing the title's H.P. Lovecraft and Junji Ito-inspired horro...

     Evil Dead The Game Dark Deity Free Epic Games StoreEvil Dead: The Game has been ripping and slaying for more than half a year at this point. The faithful adaptation of the classic '80s slasher flicks is quite the treat for fans, but the price has remained at $39.99 USD. However, what if you could get Evil Dead for free? You can next week when the price drops to zero on the Epic Games Store. The asymmetric multiplayer game won't be along however, as it'll be joined by the retro-styled strategy RPG Dark Deity. There's probably nothing like getting strapped and blowing away waves of Deadites. Or, maybe you'd rather play the big bad and take on a group of survivors from the film and TV franchise? Either way, Evil Dead: The Game should satisfy the cravings, and it'll taste even better once it goes free next week on the Epic Games Store. You'll be able to claim it on November 17, and the deal will remain until November 24.   But, as mentioned, maybe fighting demonic forces isn't up your al...

     God Of War Ragnarok Series Kratos Shield CombatNow that God of War: Ragnarok has arrived and given players more time to spend with Kratos and Atreus, many will inevitably wonder if their story will continue after this. After all, the original Greek God of War series consisted of a trilogy of mainline installments, so it seems only natural that this new Norse series will receive a third entry at some point. However, some may become surprised to learn that God of War: Ragnarok will indeed serve as the final installment in the Norse series, at least as of right now. Cory Barlog, the creative director and one of the producers of God of War: Ragnarok, confirmed this in an interview held by YouTuber Kaptain Kuba in 2021. One of the main reasons Barlog decided to end the Norse series at Ragnarok had to do with concerns about development time. He notes that the development of the previous God of War installment lasted for around five years. Since Ragnarok came out around four years later, it stands to reason that a potential third...

Destiny 2's Telesto event was confusing, according to some players who had higher expectations for Bungie's surprise in-game/IRL crossover. Some Guardians found the event, which involved the often-broken weapon shooting bizarre patterns before gaining sentience and taking over the Destiny Twitter account, underwhelming compared to the scale of past Destiny events. Guardians who were excited about a large-scale community activity instead found themselves with a free emblem code and an alternate firing mode for the weapon in the popular FPS game.

Gathering currency in Genshin Impact can be quite the grind - while you can earn mora and primogems by completing quests such as daily commissions, an injection of extra funds will always be gratefully received. Fortunately, the developers MiHoYo occasionally send out free gifts in the form of Genshin Impact codes that can be redeemed online.

These Genshin Impact codes are released periodically, frequently appearing in MiHoYo's special programs that reveal information about future updates coming to the game soon, but also to celebrate milestones or to coincide with new Genshin Impact events. Most codes also only work for a limited time - so it's a good idea to redeem them as soon as possible in case you miss out. Codes can only be redeemed once per account. Here are all the current Genshin Impact codes for November 2022, and how to redeem them.

     The best sex games on PC in 2022

What are the best sex games on PC? From steamy sexy times in The Witcher 3, space rumpy-pumpy in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, to kinky bedroom antics in Fallout 4, these are the sexiest games on PC.

Sex. It's all around us. It's leaking out of the walls. It's flooding up through the floorboards. "Where's all this sex coming from?" screams your mother, as she puts the sofa up on cinder blocks to protect it from the rising tide of sex. "Get all of the white goods up the stairs!" So, what are the best sex games on PC?

"Get with it mum, you massive prude," you shout in reply, opening the back door and allowing a great wave of filthy sex to wash over the living room, carrying your dad's slippers away in a frothy deluge while the family dog barks and barks, confused and soaking. That's sex for you. Or houses in low-lying flood plains. I can never remember which is which.

     How to play Warzone 1

You may be wondering how to play Warzone 1 after the imminent launch of its sequel. After all, you've probably sunk many hours into the battle royale game, unlocking all of the best weapons. However, following the shutdown of Warzone during the Warzone 2 release date, it may surprise you to learn that Activision isn't altogether abandoning the original game; it's just having a bit of a rebrand.

Warzone 1 will officially relaunch as Call of Duty: Warzone Caldera and is set to be a separate game. Player progression and cross-progression will work the same as it does now for the original Warzone and its compatible games (Modern Warfare, Black Ops - Cold War, and Vanguard). However, it won't be compatible with either Modern Warfare 2 or Warzone 2.

     Best Warzone 2 LMGs

The best Warzone 2 LMGs might be a bit more unwieldy than the best SMGs, but they make up for that in both their damage output and fire rate. While they don't have the high specialisation of other weapons, such as sniper rifles, LMGs are highly adaptable for a wide variety of combat situations. With the right attachments, LMGs are even capable of outpacing assault rifles in Warzone 2.

At the moment, the best LMG in Warzone 2 is the RAAL-MG. Its impressive damage output can eliminate squishier enemies at any range, and has the fire rate necessary for a follow-up that can cut through additional armour plating. If you're looking to jump into Warzone 2 Season 1 with a powerful, fast-paced primary weapon, this is the LMG for you.

     Best Warzone 2 marksman rifles

Want to know what the best Warzone 2 marksman rifles are? While their usefulness in Modern Warfare 2 is somewhat limited by map size, the battle royale game offers a far larger island to scope out targets from a distance. To cut to the chase, the best Warzone 2 marksman rifle is the SP-R 208.

The best Warzone 2 marksman rifles are a step down from the best sniper rifles in terms of raw power, but they offer a balance between precision and ammo capacity. That should come in handy when your foe is just a bit too far away for the best Warzone 2 assault rifles to hit them consistently.

     All upcoming Tower of Fantasy banners for November 2022

The upcoming Tower of Fantasy banners on the schedule shed some light on which characters are set to make their debut, and which fan favourites are making a welcome return to the gacha system. Hotta Studio's anime game has been out for quite some time in China already, so we have some idea of who we can expect to join the roster of playable simulacra, and how often they rotate.

The best upcoming Tower of Fantasy banners require red nuclei, which are extremely rare in comparison to the other nucleus currencies available. The most reliable way to acquire red nuclei is via the 'HOT' shop. A single Red Nucleus costs 150 Dark Crystals, so be prepared to save up 1,500 Dark Crystals for a ten-stack of Special Orders.

     Warzone 2 Warzone Caldera release date

As you may have already guessed from its name, Warzone Caldera is Infinity Ward's solution for fans of the original multiplayer game who aren't quite ready to make the switch over to Warzone 2. Given that the sequel is irrevocably tied to the systems developed in Modern Warfare 2, moving into Warzone 2 Season 1 and beyond necessitates leaving all your progress behind and starting afresh.

Thankfully, Warzone Caldera preserves everything you unlocked in the original Warzone, including weapons, battle pass content, and premium purchases made in Modern Warfare (2019), Warzone, Black Ops Cold War, and Vanguard. Without further ado, here's the full lowdown on Warzone Caldera, including its release date.

Dave the Diver (character) is a bit out of practice, but he's an easygoing sort and it doesn't take much to convince him to get back in his flippers to look into the local anomaly at the behest of his arms dealer "friend", who would be clearly bad news even if his name wasn't Cobra.

Said anomaly fills with new sea creatures from all over the world every time it's visited, and possibly building-sized terror beasts and ancient merfolk, but Cobra's sure it'll all be fine, so in you go, mate.

Obviously, I wouldn't be here if I didn't believe in the pleasurable side of PC hardware. Building a PC (or even just swapping out a component) can be a series of lovely little tactile moments: the peeling-off of plastic wrapping, the K'nex-like click of a graphics card slotting into place, the soft whoosh of the fans on a first successful boot. Great stuff, and of course, that's all before games start coming out of it. What's not to like?

Oh, reader, so many things. So many, many things not to like. Gaming PCs are still only computers, after all, and computers break, often and for reasons that may be invisible to the most intensively trained eye. Introduce this volatility to a line of work that involves handling a lot of sometimes heavy, usually expensive equipment, and enjoying those little pleasures will eventually come at a cost. Namely, time spent dealing with arcane troubleshooting practices and the occasional spot of minor personal injury.

FFXIV Grape Stickers

During the FFXIV Letter From the Producer Live 74, Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida commented on the appearance of the infamous grapes that reemerged as LINE stickers. The hexagonal cluster of grapes received a fair amount of attention online, which then caused the frivolous environmental item to become something of a joke throughout the community. Eventually the shape of the grapes were changed through an update patch.

However, Yoshi-P had this to say about the grapes during the FFXIV Letter from the Producer livestream:

Ah, these grapes. We fixed these in the game! You literally cannot see them anymore! When would you even want to use this sticker? Maybe if you'd want to say "Oh, this is low quality" then you'd send it? I feel like certain people wouldn't understand, haha.

Despite the grapes having received notoriety outside of the FFXIV community, Yoshi-P is convinced that the context of the stickers won't come across. That said, the stickers themselves are only available to download in Japan. Which means that if you're outside of the region, despite having a LINE account, you won't have access to download it.

Outside of the announcement of the grape stickers appearing on LINE, the broadcast included the release date for Patch 6.3. Alongside other content that will appear in Final Fantasy XIV once the update is live.

Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC, and the release date for patch 6.3 will release in early January 2023.

In order to remedy an issue involving certain GameCube CPUs, Metroid Prime devs needed to put a dev kit in a freezer

To honor Metroid Prime's 20th anniversary, former Retro Studios
Senior Engineer Zoid Kirsch started sharing stories about the game's development. However, the latest tale comes from another member of the team. Technical Lead Engineer Jack Mathews took to Twitter to talk about how fixing one Metroid Prime issue meant sticking a GameCube dev kit in a freezer.

The reason for a freezer getting involved in game development is due to certain GameCube CPU being fault and not playing Metroid Prime properly. In order to update the code, the team needed to address the issue on a dev kit with that CPU. However, there was only one, and it could only be properly tested if the unit was freezing. In the end, the team fixed it and Nintendo sent out another copy of the game to people who called support.

Here's Mathews' full story, compiled from the full eight-tweet thread.

Metroid Prime Game Dev Story - The One Where We Fridged a GameCube.

Shortly after Prime shipped, Nintendo told us that a "bad batch" of GameCube CPU's shipped, and apparently Prime was the only game that misbehaved on them. We saw videos and it was clear what was going on.

All animated objects were freaking out. I'll get into the techy reasons later, but the point was we needed to actually slow down some of our code, because it was running too fast for these CPUs to handle! We needed to be able to test this, but Nintendo only had one dev kit with this CPU. We couldn't detect the CPU, and if we slowed it down too much, the game's framerate would tank. If we didn't slow it down enough, it would glitch. Even worse, we had to burn disks for this kit. So each test was hours. Even weirder was to see the problem, the kit had to be cold. Like, freezer cold. So we literally had to put the kit in the freezer, test the game for 15 minutes tops, then start all over. It was crazy.

We literally were running the kit from the break room freezer to the TV, and loading save games as fast as possible to as many places as possible in 15 minutes, then trying new code, re-freezing, and back. I'll never forget it.

Techy stuff: Our skinning used the locked cache DMA to read in data and the write gather pipeline to write it out. Most of the Nintendo samples used the locked cache for both read and write, so my method was a bit faster. But it also hit memory bandwidth limits. As I recall, the issue was that the write gather pipe on these broken CPU's wouldn't stall when it was full or properly report its status, so we had to keep inserting NOPs in the code to slow it down just enough to stop stalls from happening, but not so much to slow down the game.

In case you were wondering, when someone called support about this animation problem, Nintendo actually sent them a new game disc with this updated code! That's how we did "patches" back in the old days!

Metroid Prime is available for the GameCube. Metroid Prime Trilogy can be played on the Wii and Wii U.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Commercial

The latest Japanese commercial for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet takes advantage of the franchise's cross-generational appeal. It's been around long enough that many of the people who first encountered it as children are now grown.

The brief 30-second spot, aired on television and via YouTube. Check out the live-action ad below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECMARJGaOoQ

The Pokemon Scarlet and Violet commercial leans heavily on the games' free structure. It implies it is a refreshing escape from real life's pressures. The short scene features actor Kotone Furukawa playing Yamada, a tired office worker. Furukawa starred in movies like BL Metamorphosis and 12 Suicidal Teens.

By chance Yamada meets "a mysterious man from the World of Pokemon (age unknown)." This person is played by actor Eita Nagayama. Nagayama played characters like Shinya Kabuto in The Mole Song and Ryutaro in the live-action adaptations of Nodame Cantabile. Dressed in an outfit matching the male player's getup in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Nagayama invites Yamada to come to Paldea with him.

There, he says it's the kind of place where you can travel and have experiences with your Pokemon buddies. The World of Pokemon, he says, is a place "where you can do anything, or nothing, if you want." Yamada accepts, and text on screen invites the viewer to come "to a place where the winds of freedom blow."

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet launch on November 18, 2022 on the Nintendo Switch. A day-one patch will be required to enable online play.

Tactics Ogre: Reborn features a handful of different Classes players can unlock throughout the narrative. Picking and choosing the right job can mean victory or defeat in some circumstances. It's important to remember that you can change your Class at any given time. So instead of investing in new units, which you may be tempted to, you can always change up a character already part of your roster. However, keep in mind you won't be able to change the Class of certain story-significant characters for specific reason. That said, the guide below will tell you how to change Classes in Tactics Ogre: Reborn!

If you skipped over the initial tutorial, don't worry. It only takes a few steps to actually change a character's Class. Once you've beaten the stage at Almorica Castle, you will immediately be able to switch. You can follow the steps below to navigate the few menus in your way:

  • Click on the Party button on the upper left-hand side of the screen.
  • Click on the unit you would like to change the Class of.
  • From there, click on the icon of a person holding their fist up against a yellow background.

Tactics Ogre Reborn Class Change

You will then be brought to a menu where you can change the Class of the unit you've selected. Keep in mind that you will need Class Marks in order to change the Class of a character in Tactics Ogre: Reborn. So make sure to use them wisely. Additionally, when changing a Class it means that you will potentially be swapping out what skills that character can now equip, along with armor. Not all Classes have access to every skill available in Tactics Ogre: Reborn, so keep this in mind before swapping them out.

Tactics Ogre: Reborn is available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch.

Finally, Minstrel Song Remastered will have additional weapons, playable classes, and other refinements. The level cap will be raised, and certain skills that were once inaccessible will be unlocked.

ffviir crisis core missions header

Square Enix confirmed Crisis Core: FFVII Reunion will feature a total of 300 SOLDIER Missions for Zack to complete. Aside from physical rewards such as Materia, you can also use these missions to increase how many accessories you can equip. These missions have difficulty ranks and will unlock as you play through the story.

Based on the screenshot, we can see that some Crisis Core: FFVII missions will have multiple parts. M1-3 are missions from the weapons development team. M1-3-2 will have Zack help out the development team in testing out new weapons made specifically to counter Shinra weapons. This is because Genesis took a bunch of them and used them to attack Shinra.

Crisis Core FFVII Reunion Missions

You can get special rewards depending on how many missions you finish. M1-3-2 will grant Zack the Cura Materia. Meanwhile, completing 5% of all the missions in the game will give him Thunder.

Crisis Core: FFVII Reunion is an action RPG that serves as a remake of the original PSP game, Crisis Core: FFVII. The story is a prequel to Final Fantasy VII and will put players in the shoes of Zack Fair. According to past interviews with Square Enix, Crisis Core: FFVII Renion will be closer to a remastered version of the original, as it will faithfully recreate the story and core elements.

Crisis Core: FFVII Reunion will come out on the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC on December 13, 2022.

layla genshin impact

HoYoVerse showed off the final new playable character who will be available in version 3.2. Layla. Layla is a 4-star Cryo Sword user from Sumeru in Genshin Impact, and she is a member of the Akademiya. She will debut in Yae Miko and Tartaglia's re-run banners.

Layla is always sleepy due to her studies at the Akademiya. This comes across in her animations as well, where she encases herself in a Cryo shield and takes a nap. Like Nilou, Layla only has three strikes in her Normal Attack chain. Her Elemental Burst, Dream of the Star-Stream Shaker, creates something like a celestial-themed baby mobile that will fire off icicles within an AoE. It will also add Night Stars to her Curtain of Slumber.

The Curtain of Slumber is Layla's Skill. It is a shield that will deal Cryo AoE DMG when she first uses it, and scales off of her max HP. Every time a character with this shield uses an Elemental Skill, it will generate two Night Stars. You will only be able to hold four. After you get four, the Night Stars will turn into Shooting Stars that will shoot out at the enemy.

You can watch the latest Genshin Impact character demo trailer, "Layla: Radiant Star Trail", here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXFg0bsuvcs

Miyu Tomita provides her voice in Japanese, while Ashley Biski voices her in English. Tomita voices Chuchu in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury, Riko from Made in Abyss, and Shez in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. As for Biski, Layla is her first major voiceover role in a video game.

Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. Layla will appear in Genshin Impact from November 18, 2022. She will be part of the permanent pool.

FFXIV Patch 6.3 Job Adjustments Target Paladin

Final Fantasy XIV version 6.3 will include some new tweaks and updates for player Jobs, as well as new content for those who want to test their skills against other players. The FFXIV  Job Adjustments were announced in the latest Letter From the Producer Live broadcast, and it noted the Paladin will get a lot of attention.

According to Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida, the team plans to make adjustments for various Jobs with the FFXIV Patch 6.3 cycle. These will affect performance in both PVP and PVE content. They don't plan any large-scale changes, but they do intend to pay special attention to the Paladin Job. According to Yoshida, the Paladin's rotation -- the sequence and timing with which a player uses its abilities for maximum effectiveness -- will be "heavily" revised. That means that Paladins could soon have to change the way they play, depending on what Job Adjustments are in store for FFXIV Patch 6.3.

The team will also debut the FFXIV PVP Series 3 with Patch 6.3, as well as the fifth season of the Crystalline Conflict PVP mode. The newest PVP mode in the game, Crystalline Conflict is a team-based mode where players escort a crystal to the opposing side of the map, fighting opposing players trying to do the same. Unlike the older PVP modes, Crystalline Conflict uses a Seasonal pattern, and a separate currency with different rewards.

Patch 6.3 will also introduce a new Crystalline Conflict map, inspired by the aesthetic of Kugane Castle from FFXIV: Stormblood.

[gallery columns="2" size="medium" link="file" ids="939957,939958"]

Final Fantasy XIV is available on PS4, PS5, and PC. Patch 6.3 will arrive in early January 2023.

6.3 FFXIV Island Sanctuary Update Will Include More Animals and Crops

People will see a lot change in the Final Fantasy XIV Island Sanctuary. It came up quite a bit during the Letter from the Producer Live 74. Notably, Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida promised things like more FFXIV Island Sanctuary animal and crops, as well as quality of life adjustments.

First, a few general additions came up. When 6.3 arrives, there will be more FFXIV Island Sanctuary animals, crops, islework handicrafts, item rewards, materials, ranks, structures, and visions. A number of these weren't details. Also, Yoshida joked about possibly adding a Zenos scarecrow for people to put in their Island Sanctuaries.

While many of these additions weren't update, the new wildlife were teased. Pictures of some of the new animals coming to the FFXIV Island Sanctuary in 6.3 appeared. One looks like the beastkin Yanxian Tiger, and another resembles a griffon. A Morbol Seedling, which resembles the minion people can get from The Aurum Vale, will also appear.
[gallery ids="939947,939949,939950" link="file"]

The bulk of changes will pertain to quality of life updates. Here's a list of all the new features that came up during the slides shared during the FFXIV presentation.

  • Ability to save orchestrion settings
  • Improved Workshop interfaces (Agenda/Supply & Demand/Earnings Report)
  • Island visitors will now hear the islekeep's orchestrion.
  • Notifications when visitors arrive at your island.
  • Option to collect all available yields/leavings at once.

FFXIV housing

Square Enix will continue addressing Eorzea's housing difficulties in its new Final Fantasy XIV update by adding more homes. The FFXIV housing adjustments are planned for Patch 6.3. These will expand the pool of available housing for all players. Housing has always been a difficult issue in Final Fantasy XIV, due to its limited available supply compared with the number of players that want a place of their own.

The FFXIV housing update scheduled to accompany Patch 6.3 will add more wards to all of the game's residential areas. Overall six regular wards and six subdivisions will be added, totaling 1,800 new housing plots per World server.

These plots will be distributed via the lottery system implemented recently. The lottery system was introduced alongside the latest residential area, Ishgard's Empyreum. Intended to ensure more impartial distribution of housing to players that want it, the lottery has been tweaked several times since its introduction. Currently, it runs on a cycle where players can bid for a plot over five days. After that, the winners of the lottery claim and finalize their purchase over the next four days.

Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida did not specify what the split would be for plots distributed to players and plots distributed to Free Companies (the in-game equivalent of "guilds"). He promised it would be clarified at a later date.

Final Fantasy XIV is available on PC, PS4, and PS5. Patch 6.3 lands in January 2023.

     Remedy Entertainment Announces Control 2 Codename HeronRemedy Entertainment today has officially announced Control 2. While we've known that a sequel to Control was in the works, now we know the name at least won't deviate from the standard. Control 2, once called Codename Heron, is official. 505 Games is set to publish. Remedy's own Mikael Kasurinen, the Control franchise game director, also shared a quick update. Kasurinen writes that Control 2 will be Remedy's second "leap into the unknown." He also confirms that, while the name is confirmed, development is still in early phases. Alongside the update is a piece of concept art, showcasing a room likely within The Oldest House (because where else could it take place?).   "With Control, we leaped into the unknown," Kasurinen writes. "We wanted to create something new. Something different and unexpected. A world like no other. Thank you, the audience, for making Control such a success for us.

     Harvestella Review 1When Harvestella was announced, I was elated. I love farming sims, especially the Rune Factory series. So Square Enix making a AAA entry into the genre is something I've wanted for years. Don't get me wrong — this is a good game. But it's not the AAA product I had been expecting, despite that $60 USD price tag. So many aspects of the visuals are dated and the combat is quite lackluster. But a hefty amount of content with lots of farming and questing coupled with a fairly decent story all make it well worth a play for lovers of farming sims who don't mind an emphasis on JRPG elements. At the start, you're offered a choice between two character models. One is a dainty female character. The other is a taller, more muscular female character. You can change their skin tones, eye color, and hair color during the "character creation" section, but that's it. Harvestella begins with your character getting discovered by the doctor of a sm...
