It's Final Fantasy XI's 24th anniversary soon, and to celebrate, they're having a variety of campaigns in game, including the Return Home to Vana'diel campaign! This one allows past subscribers to play FOR FREE for a period of ten days, from May 15th to May 25th. Details here: click me

Never played FFXI and thinking of trying? They're also discounting the game for a period, from May 15th to June 9th.

I was a big player of FFXI in its heyday, and returned to it about a year and a half ago, around the time the first Vana'diel raid happened in FFXIV. If anyone has any questions about the game, let me know! I'd be glad to answer. I did discover recently that they redid the Tutorial NPC quests to make them more in line with today's gameplay. You can get some really nice rewards from doing that questline, so I highly recommend it.

Personal rating 7/10

Kouichi and Kazuho continue their vigilante activities as the Crawler and Pop☆Step, even in the absence of Knuckleduster, working with a lot of familiar faces from S01 and some new ones introduced this season.

Right off the bat: I think S02 was weaker than S01. Too much time was spent on single-episode missions and new characters compared to driving the Villain Factory plot forward. I don’t have anything against slice-of-life series, but at some point, I felt like Vigilantes was just spinning its wheels without much to show for it. I saw some commenters (I assume manga readers) on a [youtube.com profile] YaBoyRoshi reaction video saying that S02 was laying a lot of groundwork for plotty stuff, so fingers crossed S03 gets things moving.

But this season wasn’t all bad; we got backstories for a couple of key characters. Cut for spoilers. )

Once again, the season ends with me being stressed out about my beloved Knuckleduster. I don’t doubt he’s going to appear in S03, but I would like confirmation that he’s there and in good health 😭
