White Mage is one of the many jobs in Final Fantasy 14 that players can master. It was designed to fill the role as a primary healer, keeping the party alive and fighting another day. For many players this job was designed very well and fulfills that function perfectly. But of course there are those who feel differently. For some the White Mage is to niche to be of any use or that the role it does have can get boring....

Major named characters have been dropping dead in Final Fantasy since Final Fantasy II on the Famicom. Both Final Fantasy IV and V notably featured party member deaths as well, but what is it about Final Fantasy VII and Aerith’s death that resonates it above other depictions of death not only in its own franchise, but in the video game medium? Final Fantasy VII tells a powerful human story about life & death, and Aerith’s tragic demise stands out as one of the least “Hollywood” deaths in fiction....

Final Fantasy 7 is one of the greatest JRPGs of all time. With strong themes that tie into the concept of environmentalism and life, this wouldn’t be implemented as well without the characters. Whether it is the main characters like Cloud Strife or strong side characters like Jessie Rasberry, they all played a role that lends to the strength and legacy of the game. The game became so beloved that fans show their appreciation through fan art and cosplay....

Fire Emblem: Three Houses has a wealth of material to keep even the most dedicated players busy. Multiple playthroughs offer chances to attach to new casts of characters, and if you play with permadeath on, ultimately weep at their untimely demise. Amongst the strategic placement of your units and the satisfying victories over your enemies, there’s another way to bond with your students, and you’re going to need some tea to do it....

For Honor’s Creative Director, Jason VandenBerghe, has confirmed that he has left his position within Ubisoft’s Montreal studio. VandenBerghe leapt into the spotlight after personally announcing For Honor to the world during E3 2015, with all the energy of a Viking berserker himself. Prior to Ubisoft, VandenBerghe held positions at both Activision and EA, a veteran of the trade. He departs after spending 9 years at Ubisoft, spent across several successful projects....

An electric company has sent a letter to Epic asking that players no longer be allowed to climb utility poles in Fortnite. Any video game that garners any sort of traction, especially in the mainstream, is going to be marred in controversy for one reason or another. Take Grand Theft Auto, for instance. The franchise has been in business for more than 20 years and has been blamed for all sorts of terrible things in the real world....

Late last week there was a story making the rounds regarding a Gamescom attendee that defecated in a bag while waiting in line to play Fortnite. It was an odd story but one that some started to believe. Now, Epic Games has come out to say no such incident occurred during Gamescom. As the story goes, one Fortnite fan was waiting in line to play the game and, more importantly, get a Gamescom exclusive spray....

Fortnite Chapter 5’s second week has opened up with all-new challenges for players to complete. These tasks are crucial for players who want to level up fast in Fortnite. Luckily, these quests in Fortnite are rarely time-consuming, only taking up a couple of minutes of the player’s time so they can jump back into the action. However, they are scattered across the map in Fortnite, making it a little tedious for those who don’t know where to look for them....

Even with new games coming out and discussions in the gaming industry tackling other things, Fortnite trundles on. With the previously teased Master Chief content now entering the game, players will soon have more customization options than ever before. The new fifth season of Fortnite has already shaken up the game’s formula in a few ways. One of these was the introduction of infinitely refreshing Challenges. Players no longer have to wait a full week for new objectives, although they do need to wait a full week for Epic and Legendary Challenges....

With the recent release of Fortnite Battle Royale on iOS devices, the number of potential cross-play pairings possible with the game are now quite high, but of course, the platforms that have yet to officially have cross-platform play between the two are PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. However, a recent talk given by Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney during the 2018 Game Developers Conference saw the executive expounding on the upward trajectory of cross-play in the industry at large, leading him to conclude that the dissolution of the barrier between PS4 and Xbox One is inevitable....

It appears that Fortnite is ramping up for its latest map-changing event, which will lead players into Season 8 of the popular Battle Royale event. Small cracks have begun appearing around the Fortnite map, suggesting that an earthquake or something even bigger is set to occur sometime between now and the start of Season 8. Earlier today, Fortnite players began noticing a series of cracks in the ground around the battle royale map....

Fortnite is moving ahead with its latest crossover and it isn’t slowing down for anything. The Marvel opportunities and new weapons/powers are still flowing, and both official reveals are keeping the hype high. Fortnite’s challenges for this week are already out and players are completing them quickly.

Not too long ago, a datamine of game files suggested that Fortnite would be adding jetpacks to the free-to-play Battle Royale portion of the multiplayer sandbox survival title at some point during Week 5 of Season 4, leading many fans to wonder precisely when the item would come to the game during that time frame. Today, Epic Games has finally confirmed the aerially-inclined objects’ availability by announcing jetpacks will be added by way of the next content update....

After that, you’ll have to select one of their three payment plans if you want to keep watching; but if not, simply cancel and you won’t be charged a dime....

In SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated, players get treated to a dank little surprise in the form of some famous SpongeBob memes – recreated by both SpongeBob himself and Patrick. It’s clear that those behind Rehydrated – the remastered version of the original Battle for Bikini Bottom released way back in 2003 – wanted to make sure the SpongeBob franchise’s esteemed reputation of being a fertile source of memes was very much acknowledged....

Gangs of London season one smashed onto our screens at the very start of the pandemic like a sharp kick to the nads. No one knew what to expect, and despite the title evoking Guy Ritchie East End geezer-pleasers, what we got was a glossy, highly cinematic drama about international factions vying for power in a Gotham-ized version of the capital city. It was electric and fans were hooked. Now almost three years later and the second season is with us....
