The previous FF14 expansion, Endwalker, managed to largely stick the landing on a ten-year story arc, and that in turn followed on from its most-lauded story to date in Shadowbringers.

Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge YouTube has announced a set of new features for YouTube Shorts, some of which are available now, like a new text-to-speech video narration that lets you add an artificial voiceover. On TikTok, those are the sometimes startlingly robotic voices that you hear a lot on videos with something to promote. The process for adding them is a lot like TikTok’s, in fact: after you create some text, you’ll tap a new “add voice” icon that, in Shorts, sits in the upper-left corner of the screen and pick the voice you want.
