I loved the original Final Fantasy XIV version 1.0. However, ever since the 2.0 relaunch, I've grown to like the game less and less each passing year. As of 2025, I almost loathe it.

In my eyes, game coverage has almost always been global. So I was surprised when I met Lukas Eggen, who previously covered them locally for Las Vegas Review-Journal. We talk about his experience covering games in Las Vegas and his perspective on the future of gaming journalism.
