Another year in the books. We saw three eventful patches in Final Fantasy XIV this year and we go through each of them in turn, helping each other remember what we actually did this year. We somehow remind ourselves of things that happened less than 12 months ago, spoilers abound for content you almost certainly finished ages ago, bad jokes are told, and we reminisce about how bad this game was just one calendar year ago! Kidding, the game was still good, but wow it got better this year, and we will tell you how in excruciating detail. We also look forward to the year ahead and one of us (Pan, of course) decides to get real salty about the content everyone else is excited for. Then we glance upon a solid end of the year tip, finish our rough year of bad NPC name pronunciation, and register a Twitter account based on an awful, juvenile joke.
