Final Fantasy XIV Stormblood, A Look Back at the UI Changes

Over the lifetime of Final Fantasy XIV's Stormblood expansion: there have been 24 official patches. Thirteen of them contained user experience changes, and many major features added: Blue Mage, the Eureka experience, the Glamour Dresser, and more. In this case I'm classifying major as any feature that required more than a couple changes to the user experience.

With so many changes, especially ones related to the major features added during the course of the expansion, I'm only going to cover the UI changes and quality-of-life updates I feel affect your everyday gameplay, or updates people may have overlooked. If I didn’t do that, I’d literally be reading the patch notes. I've posted my full set of notes in a Gist (this document), please forgive me if my notes can be a bit... lazy at times.

This is a work-in-progress list of my favorite anime intros. While I am not as dedicated to anime as I am to the JRPG, I have watched a good amount. That said, my memory sucks, so this list will definitely be missing a lot.

• Tank, Seatbelts -- Cowboy Bebop (opening)
• A Cruel Angel's Thesis, Yoko Takahashi -- Neon Genesis Evangelion (opening)
• Period, Chemistry -- Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (fourth opening)
• Guren no Yumiya, Linked Horizon -- Attack on Titan (first opening)
• Ready Steady Go, L'Arc-en-Ciel -- Fullmetal Alchemist (second opening)
• We Gotta Power, Hironobu Kageyama -- Dragonball Z (second opening)
• Cha-La Head-Cha-La, Hironobu Kageyama -- Dragonball Z (first opening)

My Favorite Final Fantasy Albums

This is a list, but certainly not an exhaustive list of my favorite Final Fantasy albums. Albums marked in italics signify that the album contains tracks from Final Fantasy but also from other Square, SquareSoft and Square ENIX games.

As you can see, there are no 3rd party albums listed here. While I am a fan of fan and cover band remixes of Final Fantasy music, in my view they hardly beat the first party content that was created by Nobuo Uematsu and those who followed in his footsteps, such as Masashi Hamauzu.

Original Soundtracks

• Final Fantasy IV Original Sound Version
• Final Fantasy IX Original Soundtrack
