With Jon Jones out of action through suspension, Daniel Cormier was completely dominating every single light-heavyweight on the roster and quickly running out of viable opponents to defend his belt against. Meanwhile, Stipe Miocic had become the first man to successfully defend the UFC heavyweight belt three times - capping his streak with a sensational 5-round domination of Francis Ngannou at UFC 220....

NEWSWEEK: Why fictionalize “Fast Food Nation”? Richard Linklater: It was kind of Eric [Schlosser]’s idea. I had read the book and didn’t think there was a movie in there for me. But he said, “What if we fictionalized it, make it about these workers?” I’ve been trying to get that point of view for a long time. I was an offshore oil-rig worker for two and a half years. I had crappy jobs....

Sephiroth is one of the most revered villains in not just Final Fantasy, but all of video games. He is arguable right up there with Bowser. This is because he was not only a menace in his main game, but he continued to be a thorn in the side of players in spinoffs and guest spots. RELATED: The Final Fantasy 7 Remake On PS4: 10 Unanswered Questions We Want Resolved With DLC...

However, fans seem to divide themselves when it comes to the overall “usefulness” of the Bard Job. On one hand, players praise FF14’s Bards for their ranged specialization. Likewise, others say they’re possibly the worst Job in the game....

On their own, even outside the game, shoebills are strange creatures. They are ancient birds that can be found in the continent of Africa and are known for their very slow movements and statue-like stillness. Some have called them the most terrifying birds in the world for their sheer size and odd machine-gun-like sounds they make by clattering their bills. They can be seen in ancient Egyptian art, and now they joined the ranks of the creatures of Final Fantasy 14....

Of course, World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy 14 are two largely different games despite belonging to the same genre. The focus on story makes the leveling experience in Final Fantasy 14 linear and relaxing. There’s no real rush to reach endgame, because the plot and its memorable cast of characters is very much an important pillar of a player’s journey. By contrast, questing in World of Warcraft is compartmentalized into its expansion packs, and the only barrier of entry is a character’s level....

Over the past year, many players have begun their adventure throughout Eorzea, increasing the player count of Square’s long-running MMO at an extraordinary pace.

With Square Enix taking a scaled-back approach to marketing in this way, it’s obvious that the company is confident in Final Fantasy 15’s ability to sell itself without any over-the-top displays. After all, as previously mentioned, the series’ fan base is already well aware of the lengthy development process that the game has been through, and knows exactly which entry in the franchise is being referenced. While the banner image at the top of the article does a pretty decent job of conveying the minimalism in the billboard’s design, there have also been innumerable Final Fantasy 15 fans who have been excited enough about the game’s release to snap photos of the advertisement and share it on their personal Twitter accounts....

Square Enix finally began to get the ball rolling earlier this year with the Final Fantasy XV Episode Duscae demo, but they also refrained from revealing anything to do with the game at E3 2015.

But, on the other hand, those who do not enjoy similar levels of success are often berated, humiliated, and abused by the fans.

Sometimes, however, the best signing can be the cheaper option. FIFA 23 has a wide range of top-quality players who starts as free agents. Snapping up these players for nothing is one of the best feelings for players looking to add to their squad without splashing the cash.

So in the interest of saving money, these can be the best option for players looking to save but still pick up a quality player....
