Guess who is late this episode and you can win nothing! Did you guess Jacob? Of course we all did!

The show kicks off with Bri Galgano and Aki waiting for Jacob to eventually show up. Which he does. Pretty quick into the show, but we waited like 10 minutes to start without him. So YEAH. We cover the news of the week including the latest Xbox Game Pass additions and departures, Forza Horizon 5 sales on PlayStation, Square Enix news, a Jackbox delay, and of course there’s more layoffs in the industry, this time at Virtuos. Sad face. Plus reviews!

We’ve got a batch of reviews to tackle and a little conversation about Final Fantasy as well, so let’s start!

The show kicks off with Pernell Vaughan, Chris Taylor, and Aki on hand to hang out and chat about our weeks and some Final Fantasy. From the amazingness that is Final Fantasy VI, to the fact that Final Fantasy VI is the best in the series. We also discuss that Final Fantasy VI has the best music, characters, themes, and everything else. It’s a perfect game really. Final Fantasy VI is top to bottom the best Final Fantasy. We chat about some other ones too, but whatever. VI is the best. Plus reviews with Andy Sperry dropping by later in the show!
