Occult Crescent is right around the bend, but as we wait for it, we chat about recent FFXIV and MMO topics floating around in the world outside the game!

Grab your briefcase of your biggest words, gaming is doing the thing again. Bungie has been caught stealing art, but it's not just art, it's the whole look of Marathon. Ai Vader is dropping F-bombs in Fortnite. WoW housing is real, though they were a bit secretive about what could be shared. Magic the Gathering is doing great though. All this and more.

Sick hosts, but sick games! GTA 6 has a release date and trailer 2 is out. World of Warcraft is giving players a way to play with a single button. The Final Fantasy Magic the Gathering set is now the fastest selling pre-order ever. Elden Ring Nightreign is looking real good. All this and a big dose of thanks from our sickness addled brains.

FFXIV's latest large-scale crafting content Cosmic Exploration is proving to be quite challenging for the devs to keep running smoothly. Several major issues have been discovered over the past week, and we discuss the state of the content. In The Great Discussion we also discuss Tural and Tuliyollal - Will we ever go back there in the MSQ or are we remaining in Solution Nine until the pivot patch for the next expansion? And in MogMail we discuss the names of the shards and how Calyx knows them, as well as job abilities! Welcome!

FFXIV's Patch 7.21 is upon us, and with it came the Cosmic Exploration content that's been teased for so long. Is it any good? We discuss our experiences with the content, as well as discussing some of the issues we've encountered so far. We also discuss the other updates that came with patch 7.21, new merchandise (microplastics alert), and we discuss the eternally awkward position for MCH in FFXIV's physical ranged category. Welcome!

Soken has been interviewed by several news outlets the past few weeks, and we dive into a few of them to learn how Soken's strange mind works. We also discuss the new optional items in FFXIV (with the horrible wings), the Korean outfit name change, and the 2025 Furnishing Design Contest!

The Roundtable assembles once more. All elustrious members have returned: Jesse Cox, Okaymage and Preachgaming. The cloud has lifted and celebrations ring out over the internet as MSQ returns. But who is the real bad of this expansion? Is it the new Calyx or is there a more sinister face in plain view? Will baby king say "I'm in"? Will the crew agree on Arcadion shipping? That last one wont happen, but the rest will!

Welcome to the latest episode of Crystal Core Radio Podcast with your hosts, Brian and Chris. This week, we delve into the ever-evolving world of MMORPGs in 2025, focusing on major developments and upcoming trends that could reshape the genre. The episode kicks off with a deep dive into World of Warcraft's ambitious new player housing system. We explore how Blizzard aims to redefine housing in MMORPGs by leveraging advanced technology, addressing past challenges, and what it could mean for the future of WoW and its community. We also compare it with Final Fantasy XIV's housing system, highlighting potential strengths and drawbacks. Our hosts also reflect on the current state of MMORPGs as we discuss the shifting landscape with players moving away from games-as-service models back to more traditional MMORPG experiences. We examine how these changes could influence player engagement and community dynamics. We give special shoutouts to our live chat members—Edwin, Chemistral, Black and White Duo, and Postum—for their participation in the pre-show chat, enriching our discussion with live insights. In addition, the conversation touches on broader gaming topics, including the potential remakes of iconic titles like Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy Tactics, the challenges of content pacing, and how to balance new player experiences with veteran engagement in today's gaming ecosystem. Finally, delve into personal gaming experiences, as our hosts share thoughts on taking breaks, exploring new games, and finding the right balance in gaming lifestyles.

Join us as we talk about the latest news for FFXIV!

Hello Adventurers! As Valentione's Day has just passed us by, we thought now would be a great time to show some of the characters in Final Fantasy XIV some love. As it just so happens, GPOSERS had kicked off the month with a post on Bluesky that links to a FFXIV character Tiermaker. And thus, after recording for three or so hours… and many… many more hours of editing after the fact, we now present to you The Official Carbuncle Chronicle Character Rankings: From ARR to Endwalker. But also, we talk a little bit about what we are excited for in the upcoming patch of 7.2: Seekers of Eternity.Spoiler Levels: Archon Loaf! Baked with either fish or vegetable flour, this fluffy loaf of rye bread is?from a nutritional standpoint?wholesome indeed. OK, so rather than fish or vegetable flour, this no-less fluffy loaf of a podcast is baked with love (and hate) for the many great (and terrible) NPCs that form the backbone of the MMORPG we all enjoy! So spoilers will, in fact, be aplenty.OSMnotesThank you to GPOSERS for the great idea prompt for the podcast topic! But without further ado, here's that final tier ranking image:But also, Time Cues!

This week, we spend an unbelievable amount of time talking about the Fantastic Four before remembering we're supposed to be a video game podcast and pivoting to World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV.

FFVII Rebirth, McPixel 3, Eternal Strands, Turbo Overkill, Civ VII, No Man's Sky, V Rising, Overwatch and lots more in what we played! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Games approach! Xbox Developer Direct, Switch 2, and games-that-feel-safe-from GTA. Garrett and Kyle also enter the news cycle of FF14 and find it full of assumptions. The odd thing is that all these assumptions are true, but it does make for some odd coverage. We do have some facts though. 7.2 live letter approaches and the next big wave of content prepares to hit the game. Emails and more.

This week the quest is for 5 Warlords of Draenor dungeons and next week we'll head to Legion. Coming soon (TM) Will be the Undermine(d) patch, where we visit the massive underground Goblin capital to learn Gallywix is helping Xal'atath with an important project (and it's not a mani-pedi). Among the features are a customizable, super fast car mount (flying is not available), a quest that awards a rental apartment - which looks like it has bank access, a new dungeon: Operation Floodgate, two new delves with an associated customizable mount: the Gobtrotter. Bran can also now tank, so we can tell him "Don't stand there!" for a change. And in the new Raid - Liberation of Undermine, we help the various goblin cartels unseat Chrome King Gallywix. Grats to Rogues on their very cool pirate themed Tier set. WoW Classic Classic Refresh has some AIE and Lars is in there, Classic Cata has tapered off SWTOR MFN goes well with a few other event nights a week.

SWTOR Snowball cannons have been put away and keybinds have been reset to blasters and lightsabers. Mostly. Also, Warzone Wednesdays have returned for the new pvp season.

The event typically is at the end of this month or very beginning of February. They just released a new Sol System map with the updated ESD exterior as it was shown in Season 3 of Picard. Unfortunately with the patch that brought in the new art, there have been several bugs. From loadouts dropping, traits unloading, and even for some people equipment being unequipped. They are aware of the issues and hopefully have this all resolved soon(tm). FFXIV

It's 2025 and the Speakers are back again to update you on all the latest news from the FFXIV community. We discuss the recent Lucky Bancho numbers, showing a worrying trend and indicating that FFXIV is experiencing negative growth in its player numbers. What gives? And how can it be remedied? We also discuss and review Heavensturn for 2025, and an interesting interview with FFXIV's battle director. And of course, we read some MogMail! Welcome back everyone!

Garrett never left, Kyle returns! Garrett has been holding down the fort with the JRPG darling, Metaphor ReFantazio, but had his struggles. Kyle reports on his domestic adventure culminating in a Steam Deck review of Rogue Trader. Apparently while we were “gone” the FF14 doomsaying department was in full blast, but numbers can be deceiving.  Supportourbromance.com or we'll put a big head in the sky.

The Grindys, The Golden Gears, Best of 2024. This is the final official podcast record for the year 2024, and we have our own LEGALLY DISTINCT accolades to hand out. A wild and packed year of video games. Who better to dish out the accolades then two dudes who play too much MMO. 

The MSQ Roundtable has assembled once more. Preach, Okaymage, and Jesse Cox have all returned to discuss the major story content that was released in the semi-recent “Crossroads” 7.1. The Story following Baby King and everyone's new favorite Jafar Ja lizard. The entire roundtable is now living the current life. Divining what will be released in what patch, what story beats will be covered where and what that means of the future of Final Fantasy as a whole. 

Following the swift completion of the recent Futures Rewritten Ultimate Race to World First, we have assembled a crack team of panalists to discuss the raid and the drama that followed. Mr Happy is fresh off his completion of the Ultimate. Llamatodd joins the show for the first time after casting the first clear moments. Okaymage is still in the Echo studio! So add-us-on to your schedule, plugin your headphones and listen to these tools.

We are approaching the Holiday Season, which means it's also the Award Season. Garrett has returned and has opinions on the FFXIV Mobile announcement. Can DLCs be game of the year? Will we have a big sweep? Or will all our favorites walk away a winner. 

Mr Happy returns to school the boys in Extreme Final Fantasy. After a full week of hardcore progging some midcore content, Garrett and Kyle have questions about boss design, 2 minute windows and more. No better guest for a trip down memory lane than the man who has been here for it all, Mr. Happy.
