The final fanfest is here, and all our questions are not answered, but at least we had an interesting keynote that was not at all late! We share our thoughts on the gender exclusive races (not Ronso and Viera), and hope to see plenty of super custom Lion-O’s running around! Get your dancing shoes ready for our next ranged DPS, dancer (duh)! We debate as to why there was no healer announced and wonder if it’s even worth it to add another one in.

4.56 is here, and gone. Seriously, story is like two minutes long. We also had a few other things release, but we’ll save that for the next episode.
It’s time to start saving your MGP for the Final Fantasy XV crossover event! It won’t be here forever, so have that stash ready!

Pan rounds off this episode with a more expanded tip on gardening as Lilli falls asleep trying to keep up. We Then follow up with a pretty successful name that NPC round (though Lilli will probably never catch up at this rate).

Chip has a boring adult day job and then burns as much free time as possible playing the videos james. Fond of a variety of MMOs, JRPGs, and action games without active time button mashing.
