Hello, my name is Aoife and I like Final Fantasy. A lot. Just ask my long-suffering colleagues at Eurogamer who were lucky(?) enough to attend Sony's E3 conference in 2015 with me and watched as I broke down and cried when the Final Fantasy 7 Remake was officially announced. It was a game I'd dreamed about for years, ever since the first time I'd saved the world with Cloud, Tifa, Red XIII and the rest of the party as a kid. And although the wait was long, the game that launched in April 2020 was worth it. Mostly. The ending is a whole other topic that I've covered (extensively) elsewhere, but Final Fantasy 7 Remake on PlayStation 4 - though beautiful - did suffer from texture issues throughout. For someone who could not wait to relive this adventure with shiny new visuals, it was heartbreaking when key story moments were undermined by a flower bed looking like it had been run over by a truckload of vaseline, or a smeary cityscape prompting me to check whether I'd forgotten to put my glasses on.

A Bloodborne modder has finally restored the shortcut door behind the Cleric Beast, which connects Central Yharnam to the Cathedral Ward.

As an avid fan of Final Fantasy 14, I regularly log in on the evenings and weekends to play the game. But recently I noticed a trend while logging in; queues. It's not too unusual to have a short wait that almost immediately resolves, but this time, the line sat at over 300 players. It took ten minutes to simply get into the game - and all I wanted to do was mull around in the Bojzan Southern Front to grind away for an extremely shiny weapon. Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn is coming up to eight years old. So, why are more players than ever logging in to play the smash-hit MMORPG now?

In the world of online video, from which I hail, focusing on stuff that's new is important, maybe even more so than when using the ancient art of the written word. Simply speaking, you'll just draw more eyes to your channel for longer by talking about the latest releases, trends and previews. That's all well and good, but what happens when release schedules are looking... a little sparse? It can be tricky, especially when there are games to get excited about, but they aren't releasing for a long time and there's very little new information out there about them. However, it's less tricky when you're Zoe Delahunty-Light, who lately has come up with the amazing idea for a video series that puts together behind-the-scenes facts and trivia you might not know, from the games you love the most. And one of the games she loves the most is Horizon Zero Dawn, so you can bet that particular entry to the series is something special.
