Final Fantasy XIV Free to Play Week

Massively Multiple Online (MMO) games are great, Final Fantasy is great...however, I've never tried Final Fantasy's MMO: XIV. If you have tried it in the past though, and your account is lapsed...you can get back in there and check out the newly included Golden Saucer DLC (and the rest of the game) for FREE! That's right! FREE!

If you are like me and haven't tried the game before...they offer at free 14-day trial...but...nothing special for us.

Lapsed players though...BOOM! Merry Christmas!

Final Fantasy XIV is rated T, definitely would only recommend this game for 13+.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remaster for PS4

If you are a fan of the Final Fantasy Series, you probably remember the first PS2 title that came out in the early 2000s. A tale of love, saving the world and under water soccer...sounds like a typical RPG right? Kidding aside, it was an incredible game and definitely deserves to be re-released on the PS4 in HD format. Based off of an accidental post by Square-Enix, it seems as though FFX/X-2 are both going to be available in HD format for PS4 players in Spring of 2015.

As a parent, I wouldn't recommend the younger kids to play these games, but tweeners and older, that have a PS4, should really experience this story of FF10...and if they haven't yet, this would be a great opportunity. FFX-2 wasn't highly acclaimed, but I felt as though FFX was definitely one of Square-Enix's finer stories.
