Going on vacation as the Warrior of Light is about as complicated as it sounds.

One minute, you’re experiencing a level of hands-on, multicultural tourism most folks can only dream of. Not just eating the local delicacies, but making them yourself, collecting the ingredients and learning the deep history of conflict-resolving cultural bonding behind the dish as you smoke meat wrapped in banana leaves in the ground.

But moments later, you might discover a hidden secret, a holy grail of the local mythology most locals don’t believe even exists. But rather than the magical source of wealth and bliss the legends suggest, it’s really just a portal to another world. And when a bad guy opens that portal? Vacation’s over, folks.

Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail has arrived, and it’s in a heck of an unenviable position, following up the climactic blockbuster that was the previous Endwalker expansion. Luckily, Dawntrail, quite frankly, rules. It’s a fresh start for the game’s audience, a new adventure for the heroes, and a thematic rollercoaster that uses a romantic atmosphere to obscure a deep dive into questions about legacy, mortality, leadership, and loss.

When Samsung surprise-announced the Galaxy Ring at the end of its Unpacked event in January for the launch of the Galaxy S24 series phones, it left everyone with tons of unanswered questions. Now, we know all of the official details.

At its Unpacked event in Paris, alongside new foldables (Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6), smartwatches (Galaxy Watch Ultra and Watch 7), and wireless earbuds (Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro), Samsung finally formally took the wraps off the Galaxy Ring — its first smart ring — in full, and shared features, release date information, and pricing.

Like the rest of Samsung’s new products, I got to try out the Galaxy Ring for a few minutes while in Paris. As a long-time smart ring user (I rotate between an old Motiv and Oura 3), I’m the right guy to tell you how the Galaxy Ring compares. I, obviously, wasn’t able to get any personalized health and fitness tracking information from briefly wearing the smart ring but I can share my experience trying it out and what to expect from its features.
