If you're into 3D character animation, this new video from Dan Floyd absolutely nailed everything I've ever thought about the character animation in Zenless Zone Zero. Really informative, considerate, and thorough, both in its praise and in its critiques.

I think stuff like this is important to consider especially as we're finally at an era where more 3D animation is as "lively and expressive" as 2D animation is.

Are you a Final Fantasy fan who wants to experience the best the series has to offer, but don't have the [time to invest in/interest in playing/money to pay for] an MMO?

Play Frame's Story Mode playthrough is here for you.

Professional video game animator and YouTube creator Daniel Floyd has been spending the last two years on the daunting task of making a story-focused Let's Play of Final Fantasy XIV (on top of his other amazing Let's Plays and exceptional animation videos). This means this playthrough is:

• Removing the travelling and other downtime between story segments
• Cutting out most of the boring to watch combat sections.
• Skipping any grinding or side quests that don't have great stories.
• Giving you the full experience of what this gigantic game's got to offer but without the hassle.

And this last week he hit a pretty big milestone: the current halfway point of the game (the end of Stormblood's base game). While, yes, he is not through it yet, this is basically the equivalent of hitting the end of Season 5 of the game that is currently airing it's tenth season. And those first 5 seasons are enough to give you a great Final Fantasy experience.

So come give this fantastic playthrough a shot and finally experience that game people always pester you to play! He even has a neat little primer for 1.0 to start the playthrough off.
