After ~15 months, ProfPlaysGames has finally finished Final Fantasy XVI. The game began and ended on such highs--with some slow parts in the middle. Overall, an incredible experience, and he shares why he thinks so in this podcast.

Prof spends some time with a gem from his backlog...Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Six hours in, he's hooked--even though the game is like 85% cutscene so far! Ichiban, Dragon Quest references, and a yakuza taking the fall for another yakuza--oh my!

Prof, Anthony, and Tom finish Final Fantasy Adventure and share their thoughts. Were they so OP at the end that the final bosses were trivial? Perhaps!
