It’s not very often that I get to make a joke that works on a literal level, butFinal Fantasy XIVhas given me the opportunity to say “go and touch grass” by teaming up with Logos to make a full set of camping gear. This bizarre and unexpected, though not entirely unwelcome collaboration was announced at the very end of the 84th Live Letter on November 1, and it’s not the only strange choice for a collaboration that was revealed, but more on that later....
