A long standing GameStop retail strategy has recently come under siege in the Gaming World. In today's episode the hosts explain what the Circle of Life is and how terrible it is for customers and employees a like. The crew also revel in their mutual hatred for all things retail and of course cover several headlining stories such as: the death of the Father of Pac-Man, the future of EA games and how Battlefront will be better and how the Final Fantasy VII Remake is going no where.

Today on Limit Break Radio special guests Lukile and Orange Caramel from The Speakers Network join the crew to talk about their YouTube series The Rise and Fall of Final Fantasy XIV. Plus, the hosts go in on Patch 3.5 for the second time, this time with the spoiler ban being lifted. Every single hosts has a different idea on where the story is going and why. Tune in to hear their reactions and see how your own theories line up with Limit Break Radio.

This past week Marvel made a huge announcement that they were teaming up with Industry giant Square Enix to bring us an Avengers video game. Even with Crystal Dynamics behind the development (Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider) its hard for the hosts to picture what kind of game that would be. That doesn’t stop the theories and tin foil hatting. Other headlines include; more Drama around Pokemon bans, more Drama around Overwatch diversity AND MORE DRAMA with Smash Bros. pro tournaments.

On todays episode, the crew give Aniero a well-deserved break (read: kicks him off the show) and Kallo takes the lead. Tyranny ensues as they go through the newest patch content piece by piece. A special guest call also features FusionX correcting LBR only to have Juxta re-correct HIM! Ultimately, the fan-hated-favorite LBR FanFic makes a return once more…

This past weekend saw an unprecedented turnout when thousands of men and women marched all over the world in support of equality. So, this week the crew talks about women in gaming. We hear a firsthand report from our very own Nika who was in the D.C. rally as well as Stephanie Harvey 5 time Counter Strike World Champion as well as founder of MissClicks, a group dedicated to furthering representation of women in gaming culture and the gaming industry. MissHarvey joins us for an exclusive interview! Plus, the latest gaming headlines: World of Warcraft Vanilla servers taken down AGAIN, Pokemon GO API data hints to new content and an internet star passes away to the rainbow bridge in the sky…

The full cast is finally back together and in studio! Just in time for patch 3.5, tune in to find out all the juicy details (and hear Aniero take credit for literally everything.) Yoshida also did a recent Famitsu and Game Watch interview that sheds a lot of new light on the incoming 3.55 Diadem patch and also some clues as to what we can expect from 4.0s Eureka. The hosts have it all this week! And…the return…of FanFics.

Besides Nika and her love affair for Zelda, it wasn’t anything but puppies and rainbows on FEC this week. The Nintendo Presentation for the Switch was met with largely groans and underwhelming disappointment. Tune in to find out the specifics and see which host’s expectations fell the furthest. Also, Microsoft cancels Scalebound, Nomura gives updates on FF7 remake and Kingdom Hearts 3, and updates on the Uncharted film.

With all of the information coming out about Stormblood, we haven't gotten much in regards to what to expect in Patch 3.5. With the arrival of the Far Edge of Faith's trailer, all will soon be revealed...

This week on Limit Break Radio, with the wrap-up of the 2016 Japanese Fan Fest information is still being dissected.

Plus the crew shares speculation on Red Mage, the as of yet unnamed 2nd Stormblood job and just how Ivalice will work with Final Fantasy XIV.
