Final Fantasy XVI is finally here! Is Final Fantasy XVI all Square Enix said it would be? Well, the game is a bit of a mixed bag. Micah and Logan dig into the game, spoiler free, to give it it's roses and to cast some stones. The guys also dig in to the recent information dumps coming from the FTC trial over the Xbox/ABK acquisition that gives us some shocking information about Xbox's Amazon Wishlist, Jon Ryan slinging mud, and some information that has wondering why Xbox is even in this market anymore.

To round out the show, we discuss if the handhelds will rise again, the games we avoid and why, along with the games that have the deepest theological themes worthy of discussion.
