Limit Break Radio

Classic LBR is BACK! For this week we take the focus off of Final Fantasy XIV as we get ready for Fan Fest 2016 in just 5 weeks and spend the entire show reminiscing about Final Fantasy XI and the "classic" version of Limit Break Radio. Aniero and Viki (aka Nika) are on hosting duties as we welcome two special guests Eskalia host of Voices of Vana'diel and Poppa our secondary guest that doesn't know the topic and is there for no discernible reason. This also serves as Episode 65 of the original Limit Break Radio and we sign off Final Fantasy XI for good. Thanks for the memories Vana'diel, we will miss you.

Limit Breaking News brings you the latest on the September 2011 update to Final Fantasy XI. The crew discusses changes to Dynamis and Walk of Echoes as well as notorious monsters added to BCNMs and Voidwatch. They also take a look at some of the new armor released with the update and Juxtaposition troll all of Final Fantasy XI. Excellent.

Limit Break Radio finally gets around to tackling the large topic of Wings of the Goddess missions. Joining Aniero, Juxtaposition and Tamtu for this episode are Theodus, Sharde and Toboe from the Phoenix server. We tread the topic lightly focusing on fights and quests and trying to keep the episode as spoiler free as we possibly can. This episode makes LBR history as the first show Aniero has ever had to leave early for (Aniero fans don't worry, here's there for, like, 80% of this episode). I'm sure Tamtu and Juxtaposition end the show in a highly professional manner.

Today on Limit Breaking News Aniero, Juxtaposition and Sayl take a look at the changes and adjustments in the July 2011 Final Fantasy XI update. This is a very small update and as a result this episode is very short. They talk about various job adjustments, Voidwatch updates and various other little things that changed with this update. So join us for this very brief Limit Breaking News.

Limit Break Radio brings you another classic informative episode featuring Aniero, Juxtaposition, Sayl and Tamtu with special guest and Synergy crafting expert Anyia (aka A.J.) from the Odin server. If you can;t tell by now, we're talking about Synergy on this episode of LBR, the reason being its rise in popularity since the introduction of the Abjuration scraps system. Everything you need to know about Synergy is contained in this episode! We also chat about the 10'th Vana'diel Census, fmffl's, and much more. That's here on Limit Break Radio.

Limit Break Radio brings you...an episode. OK, so I know we had planned on talking about Wings of The Goddess, but Aniero got a really bad headache on the show day. Never one to disappoint the fans Aniero decided to tough it out anyway but decided to do a shorter show to just chat about what's up in Vana'diel. Join us as we slay some Urd's, talk about our latest project Gamer Escape, discuss content introduced in the May content patch as well as the future of content and much more. We'll be rescheduling our Wings of the Goddess missions episode soon, so be sure to look out for further announcements.

In my time in Vana’diel I have noticed that one conversation is universal amongst all Linkshells regardless of level, activity or experience. Yes, one topic will constantly serve to simultaneously unite and divide all Final Fantasy fans. The topic of which I speak is, of course, which Final Fantasy games are the best? So, one Saturday we loaded up the uStream channel and decided to hash it out! The episode ended up being very long so we decided to chop it in half. An audio file with both episodes is available in the Show Notes portion of this episode posting on limitbreakradio.com. This episode picks up at Fianl Fantasy VII and takes us all the way through Final Fantasy XIII. So join Aniero, Juxtaposition, Tamtu, Viki and Eskalia for part 2 of the Great Final Fantasy Debate!

Last Friday Japan was hit by an earthquake measuring 8.9 and subsequent Tsunami. During this event 4 nuclear reactors of the Fukushima nuclear power plant destabilized causing a large scale nuclear crisis and causing rolling blackouts in efforts to reduce power consumption across Japan. As a result Square-Enix has taken down the servers that host Final Fantasy XI and XIV for an unknown period of time while the country recovers from this catastrophe. This episode of Limit Breaking News discusses the happenings in Japan, as well as the new official FFXI forums and some Dev Tracker announcements, and other changes discussed by the official FFXI Twitter account. So join Aniero, Sayl, Juxtaposition, Tamtu, Viki and Maxx-V for this unique edition of Limit Breaking News.

Love, Battles and Reality is a special one hour presentation from Limit Break Radio that examines online games in their greater social context. This is consists of three stories presented in a style similar to This American Life. The first story by Nate Bender (aka Aniero) called ‘Life Between Two Worlds: The Culture of Online Gaming‘ in which he explains the basics of what a MMO is and travels to the 2007 Final Fantasy XI FanFest. From Ross Wolinsky, his story ‘A Word To Our Players‘ takes an outside look at Final Fantasy XI through one dedicated player and asks important questions concerning the value of MMOs in our society. And in our final story from Aaron Henkin, ‘A Disturbance In The Force‘, we look at the boundaries between fiction and reality and how even just one person can blur those lines for the rest of us. Join us for this LBR special presentation: Love, Battles and Reality
