Final Fantasy 14’s third and final Fan Festival of the Endwalker expansion just took place in Tokyo over the weekend. While there was a surprise lack of release date for upcoming expansion Dawntrail, we did get to see tons of neat stuff: female hrothgar, artsy class Pictomancer, and a bizarro cyberpunk world that has me…
Hewlett Packard is kicking off 2024 with all new Spectre x360 14- and 16-inch, and Omen Transcend 14-inch laptops. And since they’re all powered by Intel’s latest Meteor Lake processors, AI is a major feature in every model. But that won’t mean Windows Copilot is in charge of it all, as HP feels cloud-based AI…
Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail is meant to be a narrative reset. Considering Endwalker had us travelling to the edge of the universe on an actual spaceship to throw hands with nihilism incarnate and save… well, everything? It’s warranted.

However, just two days on Wizards has deleted the offending marketing post and acknowledged that generative tools were used in the image. The picture in question…
To my mind, the aesthetic of Games Workshop’s original tabletop wargame Warhammer Fantasy Battle can be summed best by a Monty Python quote. It’s the bit in Holy Grail where a commoner says he can tell Arthur must be a king because “he hasn’t got shit all over him.” Though the grubby fantasy of old…
Final Fantasy 14 producer Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida has said that the reason there’s no firmer release date for expansion Dawntrail than summer 2024 is because he would rather not give one than give one that has to be delayed.
