Final Fantasy XIV is a very successful MMORPG. As a matter of fact, its story of failure and redemption is probably one of the most uplifting if not the most inspiring in the history of the genre.
It’s not unlikely for MMORPGs in general and Final Fantasy XIV in particular to be played by well-known personalities, but recently, Square Enix’s super-popular (and exceptionally profitable) game has drawn the attention of a very special VIP.
Until about a month ago Hironobu Sakaguchi, who many know as the creator and father of the Final Fantasy series, tweeted mostly about his latest game Fantasian, beautiful illustrations, or pictures of gorgeous vistas.
On September 27, 2021, Sakaguchi-san installed the free trial of Final Fantasy XIV, likely to prepare for an upcoming panel with the game’s producer and director Naoki Yoshida at Tokyo Game Show.
He picked his server and created a character, a lalafell. Since then, Sakaguchi-san’s Twitter timeline has never been the same.
Do keep in mind that below you may find spoilers if you have not finished the story of Final Fantasy XIV up to this point.
As Lady Gaga once said, it’s time to just dance. It’s going to be okay. Da da doo-doo-mmm or something like that. Anyway, Just Dance 2022 is out this week on all major platforms. (Sadly, not the Wii.)
They are each sold separately while supplies last.

Roblox is back online. After an outage that lasted multiple days, Roblox is up and running once again. "Thank you for your continued patience as we get back to normal," the developer said.
The studio has not, however, provided an accounting for what happened in the first place to bring the servers offline, though it was connected to a backend bug and a growth in the number of servers at Roblox's datacenters. The full breakdown of what went wrong will come later as part of a post-mortem report.
Roblox is back online everywhere! Thank you for your continued patience as we get back to normal.

The original story is below.
One of the most popular games on Earth, Roblox, has been offline for days, with the outage stretching past 60 hours and counting. The developer first reported the issue on October 29, and as of October 31, the game is still down due to an unknown reason. However, we do know it's not related to free burritos (more on that later) or a hack.
A statement posted on October 30 says the studio has "identified the underlying internal cause of the outage" and teams are now doing engineering and maintenance work to bring the game back online. "Thanks for your patience," the studio said.
New World’s launch has been plagued by a bunch of weird, sometimes catastrophic bugs, but this latest is one of the strangest I’ve ever seen: it let you kick other players out of the game just by sending them certain messages.
The next Magic: The Gathering set, Crimson Vow, is launching on MTG Arena on November 11 in the U.S. (Nov 12 in ANZ), with the physical edition available in game stores globally on November 19 (with prerelease on Nov 12). It takes players back to the gothic horror-infused setting of Innistrad. Where the last set, Midnight Hunt - which also took place on this plane - was themed around Werewolves, and introduced a cool day/night system, Crimson Vow has Vampires as its central focus, including a number of cards inspired by the one and only Dracula.
Of course, that's all well and good, but classic horror is more than just Werewolves and Vampires, and today we have a new card to reveal that will help elevate one of the other monstrous creature types that was present in Midnight Hunt and is now being expanded upon for Crimson Vow - Zombies. That card is Necroduality:
Of the thousands of Fine Art posts we’ve run over the last decade, nearly every single one of them has focused on the digital world, whether they be lavish environmental sketches or 3D models made for a video game. Tonight, I figured we could do with a break, and look at something a little more real.
I’ve featured the work of Alyson Tabbitha a bunch of times here on Kotaku, because she’s just the best. Her make-up work is transformative, and in the past she has shape-shifted into everyone from Wonder Woman to Jack Sparrow to Leeloo Dallas.
Today third-party developers had quite a lot of assets to share about upcoming add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
We hear from Aero Dynamics, which is currently working o the McDonnell Douglas KC-10 Extender and its civilian brother, DC-10, which might actually be released first.
Model: Over the past couple months, the model has had extensive work done to it. We are consistently finding ways to improve the base model, whether it’s tri count, adding detail, or exchanging detail from geometry based, to texture based. The interior model has undergone many changes as well. Many switches, gauges, dials, and much more have all gotten a facelift with much more planned to get a re-work and upgrade. For the exterior, adjustments are having to be made, for the different variants. With our plans on releasing four different exterior models, keeping a baseline model is really important to us.
Textures: As formally stated, textures are consistently getting remapped, and reworked. With new techniques, every texture is being consistently adjusted to increase detail, fix small errors, and just be generally improved. For this aircraft, we are aiming to give an extremely modern authentic look to the aircraft. This means it will roll out with years of use already on it. We believe this enhances the feel and really makes it seem like you are flying an aging aircraft. Not to fear, we are not going to make it look as old as most of the KC-10 aircraft flying today.
We may be in the tail end of 2021, but that is not stopping Bethesda from igniting the love for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim yet again for its 10th anniversary. If you were not aware, this November 11 will see the release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition, which packs in new quests, equipment, and even a new game mode. If you are wondering just what are the important details about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition, read on.
There will be a bunch of new Creations for players to enjoy, which contains new questlines, weapons, armor, items and more. If you happen to already own the Special Edition of the game, you can also get these for free.
Saints & Seducers will see an additional storyline be added, complete with side quests, and features some of the largest amounts of content in a single creation. Rare Curios will add travelling Khajit caravans carrying rare imports that can help up your crafting game.
Atlus released another of its many trailers showcasing the over 200+ demons of its upcoming JRPG Shin Megami Tensei V.
This time around we get to see the gameplay of Koumokuten, inspired by a Buddhist deity and part of the franchise since its debut with Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei II in 1990.

Today Sega announced with a press release that it’s exploring a strategic partnership with Microsoft focusing on the use of the Azure cloud platform.
The partnership would allow Sega to “produce large-scale, global games in a next-generation development environment built on Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform,” moving forward with its objective to launch a “Super Game” mentioned earlier this year.
It’s worth mentioning that this doesn’t necessarily mean that the games created within this partnership would be exclusive to Xbox. Many developers use Azure for multiplatform games, and even Sony has been exploring several endeavors.
Below you can read the full text of the announcement:
“SEGA Corporation (hereinafter referred to as “SEGA”) and Microsoft Corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Microsoft”) have agreed in principal, a strategic alliance that explores ways for SEGA to produce large-scale, global games in a next-generation development environment built on Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform. The alliance would form a key part of SEGA’s mid to long-term strategy, allowing the business to move forward with “Super Game”, a new initiative for developing new and innovative titles where the key focuses are “Global”, “Online”, “Community” and “IP utilization”.

These sets do not include LEGO Luigi or LEGO Mario, and those interactive figures will need to be purchased as part of the Starter Courses.
Genshin Impact is certainly starting to draw the attention of figure manufacturers, and a new one by Apex is now available for pre-order.
It portrays Ganyu, and it can be pre-ordered at Ami Ami for 14,800 yen, which translates approximately into $130.
She will ship approximately in February 2023, so you have plenty of time to save up.
The prototype was sculpted by Meow in 1/7 scale, which translates into 22 cm of height. The paintwork is by Luu and 180m/h.
You can check out what she looks like in the gallery below.
