Vice: "Honestly, it couldn't get any worse." I've just asked Naoki Yoshida, director on the resurrected Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, what he thought of the original game when he took over the project. Initially released in 2005, Final Fantasy XIV was a pretty terrible game, seemingly ignoring the years of refinement the MMO genre had undergone in favour of a clunky, unintuitive interface and boring content, it arrived to a torrent of negative press. It even made Wikipedia's page for video games that received a notably poor reception, alongside such extraordinary dog shit as Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing and Superman 64. Then Square Enix president Yoichi Wada declared that the game had "greatly damaged" the Final Fantasy brand. It was, by all measurements, a complete f*ck up.

GI: "Over the past week, Ive spent the bulk of my gaming time on The Witcher 3. What can I say? Im hooked. It provides a wonderfully detailed world to explore, and its the first Witcher game to truly win me over. Im still several dozen hours away from finishing the game, but Ive already grown attached to what it does well. CD Projekt Red certainly wasnt the first studio to discover these elements, but theyve done a great job of implementing them. Here are some things Im hoping that we see a post-Witcher 3 world, as well as a few missteps that should be left by the wayside."

Over the last week we have had quite a bit of exciting news released about the upcoming Heavensward expansion. From this information we can begin to glean what Square Enix is intending for the approach of any new content they build. Initially in looking at the information that was released during the May 22nd Live Letter, it seems as though they are intending to buff any class weaknesses while at the same time giving players more control over what they can do to directly affect their performance. Let's take a deeper look into the new jobs and abilities that Heavensward will offer.

Konami has been one of the biggest developers and publishers of video games for over two decades. Over the years they have provided us with many memorable gaming experiences and, most importantly, characters. To many this vast of array of digital personalities have become heroes, icons of gaming who defined their childhood and who they have carried in their hearts right to this day. But now a sad day has arrived with Konami announcing that they are leaving the world of video games and going full mobile. Although this doesnt necessarily mean the end of these characters, we probably wont ever see them in their former glory and probably not see another icon join their ranks. So we here at Gearburn want to pay our respect to three legendary individuals that help put Konami on the map, they who have accompanied us on many epic adventures and kept us company into the early hours of the morning. May your legacy live on forever
