Another obscure Final Fantasy game could come to PC with Square Enix “exploring the possibility” of porting Dissidia Duellum

Square Enix is considering a PC release for Dissidia Duellum Final Fantasy after its mobile launch. Producer Naoya Matsumoto explained that the game's vertical screen orientation and portrait mode were designed for casual competitive play and one-handed gameplay on smartphones. The mobile gaming sector has faced challenges, with several Final Fantasy mobile games, including World of Final Fantasy: Meli-Melo, Final Fantasy Explorers Force, and Final Fantasy 7 The First Soldier, being discontinued after about a year. Dissidia is currently receiving criticism from fans, raising concerns about its longevity. In a positive update, Final Fantasy 14 has lifted gifting restrictions, allowing players to share items with others.

This Final Fantasy 14 player house looks shockingly close to my favorite Phasmophobia map despite being made entirely of regular FF14 props

A player known as @wwYukiwww has recreated the iconic map 6 Tanglewood Drive from Phasmophobia within the housing system of Final Fantasy 14. The design uses available furnishings to mimic the haunted house's atmosphere, showcasing a ceiling fan made from four Antique Wall Shelves and a Metal Work Lantern. Yuki's project highlights the challenge of fitting intricate designs within a 400-item limit, and they have also recreated Level 974 from The Backrooms in a compact FF14 apartment. Players have a history of pushing the boundaries of FF14's housing system, employing innovative techniques to create unique designs. The community continues to thrive as Square Enix expands furniture and architectural options, fostering creativity despite the game's limitations.

They survived the MMO massacre of 2025, but 2026 is going to be a tense year for WoW and FF14: And for completely different reasons

In 2025, the MMORPG landscape faced significant turmoil with the closure of New World, withdrawal of funding for Greg Street's MMO, cancellation of a ZeniMax title, and the demise of a Warhammer MMO. Despite this, World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy 14 have remained resilient. Final Fantasy 14 has struggled with design and content delivery, lagging behind competitors like World of Warcraft, which has benefited from Microsoft's acquisition. Creative Studio 3's rigid division between casual and hardcore content has hindered player engagement, while World of Warcraft has successfully implemented variable difficulty. Director Naoki Yoshida is addressing job design issues in an upcoming expansion expected in late 2026 or early 2027. World of Warcraft has seen a resurgence with recent expansions but faces challenges in eliminating combat mods that players rely on. Both games are at a critical juncture, with 2026 expected to be pivotal for their futures.

The free starter pack weighs under 50GB and includes a 15-minute main quest and 14 additional challenges, although the free-roam feature has been removed. The complete game is currently available at a 50% discount, priced at .99 / £27.49.

Final Fantasy 14 7.4’s tomestone changes have arrived, so make sure you spend them before they’re gone

Players in Final Fantasy 14 should prepare for the transition to the new Mnemonics tomestones with the release of patch 7.4 on December 16.

Heliometry tomestones will be convertible into Mathematics tomestones, which will replace Heliometry as rewards from certain duties. The weekly cap on Mathematics will be lifted, but players will still have a maximum inventory limit of 2,000. The new Mnemonics tomestones will be available to players at level 100, while Poetics tomestones will continue to allow exchanges for gear up to level 90. Players should clear out their Aesthetics tomestones before the update.
