One Controller Port Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

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. Alex Fraioli, current FFXIV enjoyer, joins me on my likely final attempt to appreciate modern Final Fantasy XIV.Alex's Relics & Rock Stars: Appreciating Final Fantasy XI and XIV Video

White Knight Chronicles is an odd Action RPG, in the sense that it's so slow-paced you'd think timing wouldn't matter. However, the game is so slow that it loops back around, requiring careful timing to maximize damage.

This week I talk about my time at LVL UP EXPO 2025, look at the games announced in the Qureate Direct, and what to call what I do.
