As a MMORPG with a well-developed social system, FFXIV naturally provides you with a variety of interesting emotes and actions in the game, allowing you to interact with your game friends through them, so that you can have a chance to relax after intense battles.
Recently, a new emote was launched in the game, called Pose of the Unbound, but it is more like an action than an emote, and if you often watch animation and comics, you will find that the design inspiration of this emote should come from a classic comic: Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure.
Based on this, we will speculate why the game chose Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure as the emote design idea, and also introduce you how to get this emote in FFXIV.
This is a comic work that began in 1987 and was serialized by cartoonist Hirohiko Araki in the Japanese comic magazine Weekly Shonen Jump. It was transferred to the monthly manga magazine Ultra Jump in 2005 and has been serialized to this day. Fans also refer to it as “Jojo”.
The entire plot of the comic can be divided into 9 parts, each with a new protagonist, but the common point of these protagonists is that they all have the nickname “Jojo”. So far, 6 of the 9 parts have been animated, and 1 has a live-action movie.
Because of its unique art style, frequent references to Western pop music and fashion trends, Jojo has become one of the best-selling, most iconic and influential comic series in history. Although it has only become popular outside of Japan in recent years, it has to be admitted that it has quickly become a classic work in the hearts of anime fans around the world.
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure became popular in Europe and the United States mainly because the subtle weird elements in the comics brought many popular emoticons, the most famous of which is “Jojo Pose”, one of which is to put your hands in front of your face-which is also the main inspiration for Final Fantasy 14’s new emote Pose of the Unbound, and the official website of the game has also confirmed this.
At present, Final Fantasy 14 is quite popular among MMORPG players in different regions of the world, so if it wants to incorporate some interesting online memes into the game to make you laugh, the inspiration of the memes should be widely known and related to other games or virtual works such as animation, to ensure that most players can understand it.
Obviously, the popularity of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure and the fun of “Jojo pose” can fully meet the above requirements, and maybe this is just the first step for FFXIV-if the new emote Pose of the Unbound is well received, perhaps in the future the game will also plan to carry out more formal and larger-scale crossover events with Jojo.
The first thing you need to know is that this emote was added to Final Fantasy 14 in the patch 7.16 update. The update highlights the final questline in Dawntrail character quest series, but to access it, you’ll first need to complete Dawntrail’s main scenario quest and five character questlines, which are:
Once you’ve made sure you’ve earned the qualifications to start the quest, head to Xbalyav Ty’e in Tuliyollal (coordinates X:12.4, Y:14.7) and find the various NPCs for the corresponding questline to start the quest - in fact, this is the same place you previously visited in the restaurant downstairs where you meet Wuk Lamat during the main story quest of Dawntrail.
While you should be rewarded with FF14 Gil for completing the above quest, it’s not enough to get the new emote - you’ll also need to complete the level 100 Picking Up the Torch quest, which you can start by finding Rral Majun, also in Tuliyollal, standing near the bar. You’ll then have a conversation with her and a nearby Br’uk Evu, which will lead you to learn that Apyaahi, the founder of Passage of the Unbound, is looking for a new leader for her dubious organization.
Your job from then on is to pose as one of Apyaahi’s potential candidates and learn her true intentions in order to complete another level 100 quest, Imposing Views, which will reward you with a gift box that you can open to receive Pose of the Unbound emote.
In addition to the quests related to the new emote, it’s also recommended that you try to complete the rest of the final character questline, as this will earn you “Bright Bustle” Orchestrion Roll and “Sweet Justice” title.
After the above introduction, I believe that you have not only mastered the method of obtaining new emotes in FF14 but also become more interested in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. In fact, it is totally worth your appreciation. Thank you for reading.
S-Game recently released a demo video about the boss battle, which aroused the strong interest of all players. Below I will share some information about Phantom Blade Zero with you based on this video.
The conventional offensive means of the game are the light attack and heavy attack of the main weapon. Taking PlayStation controller as an example, the corresponding buttons for light and heavy attacks are the square button and the triangle button. Players can use the combination of light and heavy attacks to perform combos, cause damage, and reduce the enemy’s health.
There are two main defensive means in the game:
L1 defense is divided into continuous defense and perfect defense. Press and hold the L1 button. The character will take a defensive posture and defend against the enemy’s attack at the cost of consuming Sha-Chi. If the protagonist’s Sha-Chi is exhausted, there will be a big stiffness, and he will be unable to move for a short time, allowing the enemy to attack.
In contrast, pressing L1 at the moment before the enemy attacks can achieve perfect defense, which will not only not consume your own Sha-Chi, but will reduce the enemy’s Sha-Chi. If the timing is not accurate and perfect defense is not achieved, a certain amount of Sha-Chi will be consumed. Perfection can be judged by the orange sparks of the weapon collision during defense. If the enemy’s Sha-Chi is exhausted, of course, it will enter a big stiffness, and this is the best time for the protagonist to attack.
The slide dodge of the R1 button is a relatively safe defense method in the game. It does not consume any resources and can handle almost all attacks of the enemy in the game.
Among the many enemy attack methods, there are two special attacks that require extra care, namely red light attack and blue light attack.
It is not difficult to see that the core combat system of the game is centered around Sha-Chi.
Different from the defensive system in Sekiro, Sha-Chi is both a defensive resource and an offensive resource. The player’s Sha-Chi can be used for defense or to launch a heavy attack with the triangle button to perform a combo. The enemy can also defend your combo, but it will reduce the enemy’s Sha-Chi.
In summary, the most basic combat strategy of the game is to use L1 to defend perfectly and use the triangle button to perform a heavy attack at the right time, while guarding against the enemy’s undefended red light attack and using R1 to resolve it. For players with a basic understanding of action games, the basic combat mode can be mastered in about ten minutes.
This main weapon is actually the two weapons held by the protagonist in both hands. The short knife in the left hand is Crimson Viper, which is mainly flexible and maneuverable, mainly used in light attacks; the long sword in the right hand is White Serpent, which has large and long attack movements and is mainly used in heavy attacks.
The biggest feature of White Serpent & Crimson Viper is flexibility and maneuverability, and it can execute enemies from a distance.
In the first stage of the boss battle, the player needs to fight seven enemies at the same time. Obviously, the chief is our main target.
If you only attack the chief, you will find that when his health drops to a certain value, a companion will use silk thread to replenish his health. At this moment, you realize that you also need to reduce the number of enemies on the battlefield as soon as possible, and don’t give the chief a chance to recover.
The snake-shaped long sword White Serpent is swung wide, and the action often rotates in a circle, which is very suitable for dealing with multiple enemies. More importantly, the short knife Crimson Viper can trigger the execution action at a distance without getting close to the body, which is very useful for quickly clearing the field.
This weapon’s combo often has a small stiffness when closing the move, and it can stop at any time. When attacking, you can immediately press the perfect defense when you close your hand, and the attack and defense switch is extremely fast.
The feel of Soft Snake Sword is completely different from that of White Serpent & Crimson Viper. When you first use it, it is just like it looks, soft and weak, with low damage and poor ability to reduce Sha-Chi.
The hidden mechanism of Soft Snake Sword is: after holding down L1 to defend, press the triangle button to initiate a new parry action. If you have resources (the points below the weapon icon), consuming one grid of energy to parry the enemy’s blue light attack perfectly can almost instantly clear the enemy’s Sha-Chi value and derive a new combo move.
This demonstration is one-to-many. In action games, one-to-many is not a well-designed battle scene, or it is not compatible. Friends who often play action games must have a deep understanding: the one-to-many in Ninja Gaiden is very fun, but the one-to-one boss battle is not so refreshing; the one-to-one duel in Sekiro is very exciting, but it is easy to be killed by attacks from all sides when it is one-to-many. One-to-one and one-to-many are not easy to balance.
Just like in action movies, if the villains rush forward, two fists cannot beat four hands. Even if the protagonist has a lot of skills, he will probably lose. If the villains stand aside and watch, it is too fake, and anyone can see that it is acting.
The soldiers can neither rush in all at once and beat the protagonist so that he can’t fight back, nor can they just stand by and watch indifferently. These seven brothers have provided a new solution.
When there are many people on the scene, the seven will frequently set up formations and attack together. This not only resets the battlefield situation and prevents the player from being surrounded for a long time, but also gives the player a good time to cause damage, because this move is easy to resolve and can immediately make a set of heavy damage.
When there are not many people on the scene, his companions will take the initiative to adjust their position, surround the protagonist, and attack in turn. This method seems to surround the player, but because the attack and defense speed of the game is very fast, the enemy’s movement time is completely enough for the player to deal with the enemy in front of him, which actually gives the player time to defeat them one by one.
At the end of the demonstration video, the protagonist uses a giant axe to end the chief. It should be noted here that when this giant axe is activated, the protagonist is not invincible and will stop moving when hurt. The video demonstrator is obviously very familiar with this move, so he confidently uses this move to end the battle.
Phantom Blade Zero will announce its release date this year, and you must be impatient! Let us wait for new news about this game together.

The annual Undaunted Celebration Event is finally back, running from September 12th to September 24th. If this is your first time participating in this event, you may have a lot of questions: What rewards are there? How to participate? How many Event Tickets can I get? What can I redeem Event Tickets for? Can I play alone? How to join a group?
But don’t worry, this is where this guide comes in. Here, we will cover everything you need to know about this Undaunted Event so that even new characters can get the most out of the event!
Undaunted will bring you additional event rewards when you complete Group Dungeons throughout Tamriel! In addition to Event Tickets and all the shiny Style Pages, the biggest benefit of this event is that you get a second Curated Set from each dungeon you complete, so get ready to collect those event boxes and complete some Dungeon Set Collections.
Once you reach level 10, you can join Undaunted and start queuing for Group Dungeons under Group & Activity Finder.
But to get the rewards, you don’t have to complete a dungeon using one of Queue Finders, or even a Premade Group Finder. You can bring a friend and companion with you, or go it completely solo if you’re strong enough.
You can enter a dungeon on foot from a dungeon location on land, or head to them while your group is inside, skipping Queue Finder entirely.
Since all that’s required is defeating the last boss, base game dungeons are faster, so many queues will place you in Fungal Grotto and other quick, easy dungeons.
You can participate in Undaunted Celebration simply by completing a dungeon. But for those new to the event, you can pick up the introductory quest, Glory of the Undaunted, by talking to any Undaunted Enclave NPC, and by heading to any Impresario’s tent or picking it up for free at Crown Store.
If you haven’t reached Undaunted Enclave when you accept the quest, it will tell you exactly where to go! Once you’ve completed the introductory quest, you can earn Event Boxes and Tickets simply by completing dungeons!
The first time you defeat the final boss of a dungeon each day, you’ll earn 2 Event Tickets, which means you can earn a total of 26 Event Tickets throughout the event. I must remind you that you can only hold a maximum of 12 Tickets at a time, so be sure to check your balance before running the entire dungeon!
If you don’t have Gold Road Chapter, and don’t plan on paying to get it before Gold Road Celebration Event at the end of the month, it’s recommended that you keep at least 10 Event Tickets on hand at the end of the event, as you won’t be able to collect any Tickets afterward.
During the event, Impresario has the first 2 fragments of Anchorborn Welwa Mount, which is also the quarters morph of Molag Bal Illusion Imp Pet. In addition, Impresario also carries a number of different Opal Style Pages.
Opal Weapon Styles always drops from Gold Reward Boxes and has a chance to drop from Purple Boxes. You get one Gold Box per day when you first loot the final boss of a dungeon. You can get Purple Boxes by defeating any other final dungeon boss of the day.
Solo players can also get Purple Boxes from daily explorations in Bolgrul, but you can’t get Tickets or Gold Boxes from them. The boxes you pick up from dungeon bosses also drop an additional Curated Set of items from completed dungeons. Remember to bind your boss drops before opening the box to minimize duplication and complete the set faster! Of course, even if you get some duplicate gear, you can choose to trade it with other players who need it for extra ESO Gold gains.
This year’s Celebration Event also adds some incentive for players to complete Daily Undaunted Pledges.
When you reach level 45, you can start accepting Pledges by reading Undaunted Invitation you receive as a level-up reward. Pledges are special daily dungeon quests that require you to complete specific dungeons. You can get Pledges from NPCs in Undaunted Enclave.
This would be a good time to unlock Returned Undaunted Achievement so you can claim Arms Pack in Crown Store if you haven’t already!
Completing Undaunted Pledges rewards Undaunted Keys. Normally, completing a normal dungeon Pledge will reward you 1 Undaunted Key, and completing a Veteran dungeon with Hard Mode activated will reward you 2 Keys. But these Key drops will be doubled during Celebration Event. So now is a good time to get the reward Keys!
And Update 43 brings new Scribing Skills that can be redeemed for Undaunted Keys, as well as Curated Monster Shoulder Set, which costs 8 Keys each. On top of that, the event brings even more ways to use them!
If you happen to own a specific Monster Shoulder Style, you can grab an Opal version of the same style from Undaunted vendors for 50 Keys, or you can grab Mystery Boxes that offer random Opal Shoulder Style Pages for 25 Keys. So this is a great time to farm and spend as many Keys as possible!
You can also get Opal Monster Mask Style Pages by completing specific dungeons in Veteran Mode when you loot the ultimate boss, and the chances increase as you complete Veteran Hard Mode. The newest Mask this year will come from a DLC dungeon, Bloodroot Froge!
Before tackling a dungeon, check your food buffs, potion buffs, and characters. It’s good to know and understand the characters you’re queueing for. Stick together, avoid getting overwhelmed, manage your resources wisely, and don’t get discouraged by initial failures or bad social interactions. Practice makes perfect.
Don’t forget that talking to your group can help a lot, and joining a guild can give you another way to form a group with more like-minded people. Most importantly, have fun!
That’s it for an in-depth look at Undaunted Celebration Event 2024! Grab your friends, dive into those dungeons, loot the rewards, and enjoy the event!
Each new league in Path of Exile brings some new content to players, which will not change the entire storyline of the original game, but will allow you to experience some different game feelings. In the current Settlers of Kalguur League, you can experience the joy of business management in a town called Kingsmarch.
In Kingsmarch, all you need to do is use some mechanisms in this town to make it more prosperous to create more wealth for you. If you are a player who likes to skip the dialogue and enter the game directly, then the explanation of how Kingsmarch works in this guide will be very useful to you. Come and take a look!
When you enter Settlers of Kalguur League, you need to complete a short prologue by the beach, and then you can go to Lioneye’s Watch and embark on the journey to unlock Kingsmarch. On the right side of Lioneye’s Watch, you will see Johan, King’s Hand.
You need to have a brief conversation with him, and then you can go to Kingsmarch. Here is a reminder that, after unlocking, you can place Johan in your hideout for subsequent exploration. But when you visit Kingsmarch again, you don’t need to interact with him. You can use any waypoint on the map to get there.
As a small town, Kingsmarch will provide you with different resources for farming or gathering. You can use these resources as cargo for shipping, or as trading items for POE Currency. These resources are mainly distributed in three different areas around Kingsmarch, and unlocking resources is not smooth sailing. You need to fight. Additionally, nodes where each resource can be harvested will be displayed on the map, allowing you to find the resources you need according to the nodes.
The first thing to introduce is Mining. All resources in this part are distributed on the left side of Kingsmarch. You can find Crimson Iron Ore, Orichalcum Ore, Petrified Amber Ore, Bismuth Ore and Verisium Ore in this place. After you collect some ores, you can do Smelting on the right side of Kingsmarch. You can smelt the above ores in Crimson Iron Bar, Orichalcum Bar, Petrified Amber Bar, Bismuth Bar and Verisium Bar.
Here you need to be reminded that the value of Bar will be higher than Ore. If you want to create more funds for town construction, you can let your workers smelt immediately after collecting Ore. Finally, the foundation of the town is Farming. You can grow Wheat, Corn, Pumpkin, Orgourd and Blue Zanthimum on the farm in the north of Kingsmarch, all of which can be used as traded goods.
In Kingsmarch, the most important thing is the workers, because only they can make the whole town run. So how do you unlock and hire these workers? First you need to go to the main tavern area and talk to Faustus, Johan, and Raulf there. At this time, you can unlock the function of hiring workers.
In the interface where you select the workers you want to hire, you will see a symbol next to each worker, which represents what the worker is good at. For example, a worker with a pickaxe icon means that he is good at mining, so you can send him to some mines.
Here is a tip for you: try to let some workers with expertise do what they are good at. This will save you Gold as their salary, and they can also get you the most resources.

Just said that Gold is used to paying workers, but it is also the main POE currency for building Kingsmarch. Fortunately, its farming method is relatively simple, just need to defeat some enemies or clear some maps.
After you have Gold, you can add them to Kingsmarch treasury so you can find them as you build your Kingsmarch the circular button with a scroll bar that appears above the skills on the screen. Also, here you can see how much you currently have and how much storage the treasury has left, and even what time the workers will be paid and when Gold runs out.
After you have selected the workers you want to hire and prepared their wages, you can start to assign and dispatch your workers. Taking Mining as an example, when you move to Mining area on the screen, you will see a Mining Information board, on which you can see the number of ores currently marked and the number of workers mining the ores.
As mentioned earlier, when resources are available for harvesting, the nodes will remain marked until the workers you dispatch start working. You can select the specific area where the workers will go and some idle workers who have not yet started working by clicking Manage Workers button. It should be reminded that there is no window for worker information for Farming, only a window to see the availability of farmland. This window works in the same way as the rest of the mechanism, but each farmland can only grow one crop.
Once you are familiar with the above Kingsmarch mechanism, you can slowly make the town prosperous. I hope that this town will gradually become a strong trading town with your correct strategy, and can help you a lot in Settlers of Kalguur League!
Diablo 4’s 2.0 update was released on Public Test Realm (PTR) from September 4 to 11. The changes were mainly to address players’ dissatisfaction with the current leveling system, and introduced some new features and some new Mythic Unique weapons, so that some players felt that this was almost like a brand new game.
An important role of PTR is to collect player feedback and provide information for Diablo 4 to be updated before the official launch. For players who love Diablo 4, they should also be aware of the upcoming changes. Let’s take a detailed look at what new changes are in Diablo 4 2.0 update.
Diablo 4’s Nightmare Dungeons and Pit of the Artificer now offer players new rewards, and some players have expressed their excitement about the improvements to the current reward system. The major highlights of these changes are that Nightmare Dungeons are a great place to collect Masterwork Materials, and Pit of the Artificer offers Glyph upgrades.
Originally, Glyph upgrades were a feature that players accessed through Nightmare Dungeons, which makes the player experience too tedious. Now, Glyph upgrades are given as rewards for completing certain tiers of Pit.
The number of Glyph upgrades depends on the difference between Glyph and Pit Tier. If Pit Tier is higher than Glyph level, then the number of Glyph upgrades you get for one upgrade is greater. This both fixes Diablo 4’s current frustrating Glyph upgrade system and gives players more reasons to make Pit runs.
In addition, a new Paragon Points system has been introduced in Diablo 4, which will make the game experience of Diablo 4 less monotonous. Previously, players needed to earn Paragon Points for a single character, but with 2.0 update, players will share points between all characters in the same realm, making it easier to complete the game’s endgame activities for characters other than the first one. In addition, Paragon Points have been renamed Paragon Levels.
Paragon Levels are now completely independent of individual character levels. In 2.0 update, the level cap for characters has been lowered to level 60, and progress after that will be achieved by increasing Paragon Levels.
Since these levels are shared between characters, players can help new characters reach the level cap of 60 more quickly, and then continue to increase Paragon Levels. The entire system is being overhauled, but players won’t lose any progress either. Because even for characters that are already above level 60, patch 2.0 will convert any additional levels players earn into realm-wide Paragon Levels.
New Mythic Unique items are also introduced in Diablo 4 2.0. This update will add Heir of Perdition, Shroud of False Death, and Shattered Vow. They are new Mythic Uniques for all classes.
Heir of Perdition is a helmet that deals 200% more damage to angels and demons, while also increasing critical or lucky hit, base movement speed, and all Core Skills. It also has an ability that allows the player to increase damage by 60% and gain Mother’s Favor and Diablo 4 Gold from allies for killing enemies.
Shroud of False Death is a chest armor that provides a +1 bonus to all passive skills. It also increases All Stats by +111, Max Life by +222, increases damage by 333% on the first attack after entering invisibility, and generates 11.1% more resources. It also allows the player to become invisible if they haven’t attacked for two seconds, while also increasing movement speed. This makes it perfect for players who move in and out of combat flexibly.

With the recent release of the new sports video game NBA 2K25, many fans who love the previous series of games want to feel a different gaming experience in this new game, and want to see certain improvements in the game to address the shortcomings of the previous games.
Fortunately, the developers met the expectations of the players and made a number of significant changes that set it apart from previous games. If you haven’t started to explore this new game, then follow this guide to find out what has been done.
One of the most controversial aspects of many sports games is whether Ray Tracing is necessary. Some players think that it makes the whole game look better, while others feel that the focus of sports games is on competition and fast-paced action, not modern lighting enhancements.
But regardless of the opinions of players, 2K25 has added Ray Tracing to the game, which will greatly improve the graphics and lighting possibilities in the game. However, for now, this feature is limited to your use in The City, but we can expect Ray Tracing to be used more widely and in more depth in subsequent games.
After losing the beloved Auction House in NBA 2K24, it’s back in the new game with even more cards to collect. In Auction House, you can use MyTEAM Points to grow your collection or use 2K25 MT Coins to select the player cards you want. You can also sell or trade cards you don’t need or have no value.
While the dribbling mechanic was already very good in the previous game, 2K25 has made the biggest change to this mechanic so far - the new Dribble Engine, brings a new level of control to the game.
This allows you to more accurately perform many dribble moves, such as crossovers, quick changes of direction, and more. In addition, this new Dribble Engine will also work with the game’s physics to make your ball control more fluid and lifelike.
The most important and attractive point in all sports games is whether the players and the stadium in the game can look similar to real life. If not, the immersion of players in the game will be destroyed, and the game experience will not be very good. In 2K25, you can rest assured that it has improved its player models and animations, allowing players to experience an unparalleled basketball game more immersively.
In addition, with the addition of motion capturing technologies and facial expression tracking, the graphics and game mechanics in the game will become better and better. If you compare NBA 2K21 a few years ago with the current game, you will definitely sigh at the convenience brought by the development of technology!
Not only in graphics, the power of technology is used, but AI players in NBA 2K25 have also improved a lot with the progress of the times, such as Court Spacing, Coaching, Offense, and Defense.
This poses some challenges for real players, as you can only have a very small margin of error when playing against them and requires your full concentration, but it will also indirectly enhance your tactical logic thinking ability in the game, such as you can exercise better offensive and defensive logic in the game.

In addition to some improvements in the game experience, the gameplay has also undergone a very big change, which has increased the variety, accessibility, and freedom of players in the game. First, in terms of offense, 2K25 adds a mechanism called Shot Timing for new players, so that your risk when shooting will be reduced, and your score and 2K25 MT Points return will increase.
For some high-level players, Pro Stick Rhythm Shooting will provide you with a new way to shoot-press the shooting joystick before shooting. In this way, you can more intuitively and accurately imitate some shooting actions of players in the real court, while increasing your gaming experience.
In addition, NBA 2K25 also uses a new defensive cut-off system. In this way, your defensive players can cooperate with offensive players who can change direction with the right joystick, and use the same joystick when defending, which can control the players and quickly slide horizontally into place to cut off the offense of the opposing offensive players.
The most important thing is that the game system has also been significantly improved. The game will use a dynamic weighting system instead of a fixed weighting system. In this new system, the impact of defense at the start and the time of shooting will be evaluated, and the appropriate defensive impact will be calculated. This will make the entire game more fair and just.
The above are some improvements made by the new NBA 2K25 compared with previous series games. Have these improvements attracted you? If so, then go and explore the fun of it. I wish you win more games in the game!
