Also, massive thanks to @SquareEnix for providing a copy of the game for us!

Join us on this week's adventure as we interview popular Final Fantasy and RPG content creator ‪@Sector6UK‬! We start our time together learning about his history with games back to his earliest consoles as a child, how he started creating content (with a huge shout out to the FF7 content produced by ‪@4-8Productions‬ so be sure to check them out too!) , and some discussion about some indie games that we have enjoyed. We then ease our way into our Mini Game Stretch Break where we have to determine if we would rather increase our intelligence or improve or health and physical bodies. Finally, we turn our attention to his thoughts on Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, his experience with the game, and some never before heard theories and interpretations on Zack, the Lifestream, and what's going on with these pesky timelines. You don't want to miss it!
