Everything New in Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle
I’ve been thinking about trying out Elder Scrolls Online for quite awhile and this makes me want to even more now. If only the download wasn’t over 100GBs on my PS4 hard drive.
The most hilarious statement in this article: “…that doesn’t necessarily mean the report will happen: The vote is non-binding, meaning that it’s more of an advisory thing than an obligation. The board of directors, of course, said it will think about it.”

Final Fantasy 16 Producer Confirms It Won’t Be Open World – IGN
“We’ve found in our extensive user research that many of the younger generation of gamers have never played a Final Fantasy or don’t have any interest in the series.

I wish companies would stop caring so much about raw data when making decisions regarding creative works. I understand that financially it makes perfect sense, however the current obsession media companies have with charts and data seems to lead to them refusing to take chances or actually using their guts.
These are really cool man, thanks for doing these.
Hopefully Cruz is serious about the loot box thing and isn’t just paying it lip-service to seem hip.
Always glad to hear that emulation is progressing and becoming better and better.
While I understand where the Final Fantasy 16 producer is coming from, making a new entry in a long running series purely for newbies can be a one way ticket to alienating your pre-existing fans and ruining your series.
Regarding Final Fantasy it seems like that’s becoming a big focus for Square Enix. 15’s intro starts off with “A Final Fantasy game for beginners and newbies alike” and while I loved FF15 I just hate the obsession with graphs and charts these companies have had for the past decade.
