Sorry, I meant to do that and completely spaced it. It is now done!

I listened up to the part where Ryu gave a warning of Kingsglaive spoilers because I haven't seen it. Since that was clearly added after the recording, it would have been nice to include a safe time-stamp to skip ahead to. Did you talk about anything else afterwards?

I updated the news story and the discussion board post with new some additional information included in the show. Including a spoiler warning and at what time code the review begins.

There is no other discussion after the review.

RE: the episode itself

Thanks for the shoutout love guys! Even if it was only to make fun of the fact that I make fun of Ryu for loving such a lame game (FFII).

I hope to be able to come back and do the show again soon.

Well done on the Kingsglaive review. I've got to say...I found Kingsglaive to be a pretty mediocre film. It had some very cool moments but most of it felt so discombobulated. It seems hastily put together. Almost like Square said "let's take this idea, this idea, and this idea and smash them together and see how it works." As a standalone film, it just doesn't work at all. As a tie-in to Final Fantasy XV, I'll have to wait to make a judgement on it. I have yet to finish the game.

In hindsight, I find the plot in Kingsglaive more engaging than the actual main game. That's a bit sad.
