Hello, everyone.

0:03.1

Garrett here, what you are about to hear is our Final Fantasy 147.4 special.

0:09.6

Talking all about the latest Final Fantasy 14 patch,

0:13.1

as well as a pretty meaty conversation about the current state of MMOs.

0:16.5

In general, with, of course, Kyle and myself, but also Preach and Jesse Cox.

0:21.9

Just forewarned, if you haven't played, the latest chunk of Final Fantasy 14th story,

0:26.7

specifically the 7.4 MSQ, there be spoilers ahead.

0:31.0

We're going to talk about the whole thing.

0:33.7

I think about it, though.

0:34.5

We didn't really talk about Arcadian, so you're safe in that regard.

0:37.9

Enjoy. Because we're playing FF5 right now, and we got a lot of comments of these guys.

This guy's terrible. Like the worst person I've ever seen. Because they don't remember, you know, certainly with old games when you picked up that stuff. So, yeah, that's what I find often is a, a misguided memory of when you pick these things up. Did you have a production question? like the best thing to do is yell at them.

2:07.0

When they tell you something, just like really get aggressive and angry and become like a little problematic because then you'll get a live stream fails and then that bumps the numbers.

2:11.4
