One of the best things I did since COVID-19 hit was get my old university friends into Final Fantasy XIV. We figured it would be a good way to catch up whilst also gaming together when we got the chance to.

We’re all over 30 now with a variety of obligations (them: buying houses, looking after babies; me: researching board games to buy) but more often than not we make Friday evening our gaming night.

We’ll log on to and Discord and start by dance-emoting in one of the main starting cities. We’ll talk about our weeks, how families are doing, all that good stuff. We’ll then run a couple of dungeons, show off mounts we’ve acquired, rant about colleagues at work, slay some primals, acquire some gil. And recently’s casino, where we’ll take on challenges around the place, playing until the early hours.
