Why "Fester" and "Energy Drain" Feel Out of Place for Summoner in FFXIV – A Call to Refocus on Summons
As someone who's played Final Fantasy XIV in the past back in 2020, with Paladin (PLD) and Summoner (SMN) already leveled, I’ve recently started a new journey as an Arcanist, now at level 21. While leveling, I’ve found myself reflecting on how the Summoner job has evolved—and not necessarily for the better. Abilities like Fester and Energy Drain seem to push the Summoner away from its core identity of summoning powerful primal forces, reducing the job to more of a caster with a pet rather than a true master of these legendary beings.

Why Summoner in Final Fantasy XIV Online Feels Like a Watered-Down Version of Its Former Glory
As someone who’s played Summoner (SMN) in previous Final Fantasy games, stepping into the role of an Arcanist transitioning into Summoner in Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) has been a surprisingly lackluster experience. The class doesn’t feel like the powerhouse summoning job I remember from earlier Final Fantasy titles. In older iterations, Summoners were not just DPS machines, but masters of summoning iconic, awe-inspiring beings like Ifrit, Titan, Leviathan, and Bahamut to decimate enemies and command the battlefield. FFXIV's version? It feels more like a series of pretty animations with none of the satisfying depth or strategic weight behind them.

Is Arena More Fun to Play Than Tarkov?
(Intro) Tarkov is a difficult game to quantify into being called fun. If you’re an outsider who doesn’t play the game looking at what’s happening, the immersive world, accurate portrayal of weapons and attachments, and the risk factor of losing gear when you die, you might be intrigued by what you see. And then you open the game up for the first time and there is so much going on you quickly become overwhelmed and regret buying the game. But if you’re lucky and have someone around who can assist with getting you started, you might get lucky and get the Tarkov bug and just become absolutely consumed by the game. It’s happened so many times with so many different people, it could be studied as a phenomenon. But, as someone who has been playing for so long, that magic does go away after some time. The game is still great; but the spark and initial curiosity that led you to buy the game is lost because everything about the game becomes about the numbers. Late game Tarkov is especially impacted by this, because as a wipe cycle goes on, the number of people still playing goes down. It’s no surprise that people tend to enjoy early game Tarkov more, for its frenetic and scrappy gameplay. However, with the introduction of Arena and its existence in the Tarkov ecosystem, a question popped into my head. Do players prefer or enjoy playing Arena more, or do they enjoy Tarkov more, specifically the late game?

Arena's Least Played Map is.... and Why?
(Intro) If you had to guess what the least played map in Tarkov’s arena mode was, which map would you say it was? Spoiler alert: it’s Sawmill. It’s always been Sawmill. Ever since we got the first version of the game available to the public. This map, while interesting in its own unique ways, doesn’t really jive with the purpose of arena existing. It meets somewhere in the middle between a small battle arena, and a chunk of a normal Tarkov map ripped out of the game. Because technically, it kind of is. It’s a chunk of Woods taken and modified to be an arena map. Which isn’t a bad thing, the concept and execution are both solid. But when you are at the map selection screen, you are most likely not selecting Sawmill to be in your map rotation. So why? What’s the reason(s) that people don’t play this map? Is it bad? Does it not make sense to be in arena? And can you even play the map this deep into arena’s life?
