The popular online game Final Fantasy 14 wasn’t always a success. Its current version is actually a complete rebuild following the failure of its original launch. When Naoki Yoshida took over, he made the bold decision to essentially start over, culminating in a dramatic in-game event where the world of Eorzea was destroyed. This relaunch, known as A Realm Reborn, is widely considered one of the greatest turnarounds in video game history. The game celebrates this rebirth every year with an in-game event called The Rising in late August, featuring special quests and rewards.

Okay, so I’m putting together this guide to cover everything about this event. I’ll walk you through when it ends, all the Research Tasks and what you get for finishing them, and a full breakdown of how to nail the Charged Cuties Collection Challenge. Let’s jump in and get started!

Okay, so after I got the quest, I loaded into the Buried City map. The first thing I needed to do was head over to the Abandoned Highway Camp – it’s on the southwest side of the map. Once I got there, I was looking for a big bus. It’s kinda positioned just a little bit above where the road is marked on the map. Right on the steps of the bus, I found a backpack, and I just had to interact with it to continue.

The popular manga One Piece is back this week with Chapter 1166, and fans are excited to see what happens next! Author Eiichiro Oda recently finished the long-awaited God Valley Incident, finally revealing the fall of Rocks D. Xebec and the full story of what happened there. The previous chapter showed Rocks’ defeat, and Chapter 1166 will likely explore the consequences of that battle. There are still some loose ends from the God Valley arc to tie up, and the story might even jump forward in time to focus on Elbaf, the land of the Giants. With One Piece returning, there’s a lot of great content coming for fans!

I was so hyped for the full release of the game, especially when it finally hit Steam! But honestly, the launch has been rough. A lot of us were running into really frustrating problems – super long loading screens, disconnects, and trouble even getting logged in. It’s good to see that Battlestate Games, through Nikita Buyanov, has publicly apologized for all the issues. Hopefully, they can fix things quickly so we can finally enjoy the game we’ve been waiting for!

Recently, Krafton has been focusing on becoming a company that prioritizes artificial intelligence. After CEO Kim Chang-han spoke about this in October, the company reportedly began offering buyouts to employees to reduce its size, as reported by BusinessKorea. According to BusinessKorea, an internal announcement on November 12th stated that employees with less than a year of service would receive six months’ pay, while those with 11 or more years would receive three years’ salary. This has been happening alongside an ongoing legal battle between Unknown Worlds Entertainment and Krafton.

To celebrate its 20th anniversary last year, World of Warcraft introduced the Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur, a special mount available for purchase in the game’s store. It cost a hefty $90 and included a mailbox and auctioneer. While the high price drew criticism from players, it quickly became the best-selling item in the store, reportedly earning Blizzard around $15 million during its initial release.

The upcoming update for Battlefield 6 will bring a lot of new features and improvements. Players can look forward to a new map called Eastwood, which is based on Southern California. Along with the map, a limited-time game mode called Sabotage—focused on destruction—will be added, along with two new weapons: the M357 Sidearm and the DB-12 Shotgun.
