We all knew this time would come eventually, when Square Enix would shake off the training wheels and Final Fantasy XIV would transition back to its intended subscription system. Last month, Square announced that billing would start around the time the much anticipated 2.0 update released, around November or December of this year. Today, in … Continue reading “Final Fantasy XIV Billing Starts January 6th”
Do not adjust your monitors, the title of this article has been transmitted as intended: Final Fantasy XI has released a 14 day trial. Still surprised? So am I, but apparently the folks at Square Enix decided to pull down one barrier for entry into the aging-yet-enormous-to-an-almost-intimidating-degree MMO. If you were holding off on trying … Continue reading “Final Fantasy XI Is Crazy On XI-XI-XI: 14-Day Trial?”
It’s been ten long months since someone at Square Enix restructured the Final Fantasy XIV team with the human resources equivalent of a carpet bomb, and since then the game has arguably come a long way, both in the huge number of updates bringing in new content, much needed content, fixing the old, purging the … Continue reading “Important: Final Fantasy XIV Subscriptions Start Soon”
Final Fantasy’s slightly delayed 1.19 (not to be confused with Minecraft 1.9) patch doesn’t come for another few days, but you can read the patch notes and list of planned changes right now, and a long read it is.

здравствуйте! I’ve been spending the past few days not on homework or work-work, on figuring out exactly how I want to inject videos into MMO Fallout, as I’ve promised many times in the past. My first video, that I’ll hopefully release in the next week or so, is a quick look at the Sony Authenticator. Since … Continue reading “Week In Review: Tardiness Is Not Tolerated Edition”
MMO Fallout wouldn’t be what it is today (and that isn’t say much as it is) without the inspiration I receive from reading forum posts, so this week’s Week In Review is dedicated to all of the completely non-biased people out there who registered at MMORPG.com to explain to me why x-company is a scam … Continue reading “What Happened This Week: Love Your Thread Title Edition”
Even if you did hide the authenticator image behind several pages of CSS. With the recent hacking of Sony’s services, one might be slightly concerned about the safety of their account. Following in the steps of Blizzard, Square Enix, and a select few other companies, Sony Online Entertainment has announced that the company will be … Continue reading “SOE Authenticator Coming To Device, iOS, and Android”
This article is entirely original, any similarities between this and [redacted]’s Fishery financial presentation are completely coincidental. MMO Fallout Year 2 statistics: It’s been a great second year here at MMO Fallout. We wrote a lot of articles, caught a lot of crab, and despite the obvious workplace issues with some trolls, some threats, a … Continue reading “MMO Fallout: End of Year 2 Statistics”
Dear developers, You cannot say that you are in tune with player security and then only include one of the best security options available (authenticator) as an exclusive item with the collector’s edition. When Final Fantasy XIV was released, Square only allowed players to obtain the authenticator through the $79.99 collector’s edition. With the upcoming … Continue reading “How About An Authenticator In The Standard Edition?”
I’m such an egg-head. Without regards to a certain outfit publishing a review of Final Fantasy XIV just before a major game-altering patch, hopeful fans of Square Enix’s baby may be giving up hope of ever seeing the game hit Playstation 3, which Square’s Yoshida has promised will only come as the defining moment where … Continue reading “Final Fantasy XIV: PS3 Coming “At All Costs””
