Heavensturn is here!

The sun shall soon rise on a new year, and the visiting Far Eastern delegation is most eager to share their Heavensturn traditions with the realm once more. To that end, the ryu metsuke and ryu bugyo have arrived in Limsa Lominsa with a charmingly costumed chocobo chick to celebrate their draconic guardian...yet the Aftcastle remains notably quiet, and the delegates may require the aid of a capable adventurer to liven up the festivities.

FF14's most stylish tank just got 'nerfed' in the best way possible

FF14 player and content creator 'SuperLouis64' has done it again, this time taking the Gunbreaker class from Square Enix's MMORPG, turning it into a real-life prop, and playing through dungeons with it.
