About a month ago we were being nostalgic about that time when we used to do a spoiler show for a Final Fantasy XIV expansion, and then do a final show talking about all of the content that releases after the expansion and leading into the next. We had a few folks that were not caught up and we set a date in time of wanting to record this show on the 30th, just ahead of the Endwalker release mania. Last night we recorded this show and quickly realized there was no way that we were going to cram it all into a single episode. So as a result I bring you the Shadowbringers Epilogue show today covering patches 5.1, 5.2, and the wrap up of the Shadowbringers related story in 5.3. Next week we will bring out the Endwalker Prologue show because really the 5.4, 5.5, and 5.55 content is teeing up the beginning of the next expansion more than resolving anything related to Shadowbringers. I hope you as listeners enjoy both of these shows and it should go without saying that these are going to be full spoiler episodes as we cover everything we can remember that happened in each of the patches. |

Tonight without really meaning to, we recorded an entire show that is nothing but New World topics. Firstly we talk about Belghast and Eliyon being the first in the company to hit level 60 and some of the realities of doing max level content. We talk about how Minda is now a famous server because of a dramatic event that took place as the last Covenant guild on the server threw the fight for Mourningdale. From there we talk a bit about the general economic woes of the game and how everything is either massively valuable or utterly worthless. Topics Discussed

Tonight apparently there is something funky going on with Bel’s Mic and he fades in and out at weird times. First off we talk a bit about Paizo and their efforts to Unionize. Bel talks a bit about having reached level 80 in all of his battle jobs in Final Fantasy XIV. From there we talk about Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Unsighted, and revisit Wildermyth. We talk a bit about what happens when you make cataclysms happen 100 years earlier in Stellaris. Then we finish things out with some New World updates. Topics Discussed

Tonight we return to some discussion about New World and how the promised server moves don’t seem like they are going to work out as we thought. The end result is the server queues are gone from Minda but we have a handful of people isolated on servers in a different region. We talk about some of Kodra’s woes in attempting to run PVP Faction missions solo. From there we talk a bit about Tabletop Simulator and some of the interesting ways it allows you to play board games virtually during the pandemic. We talk a bit about Tales of Arise and some of the issues it has with not really explaining clearly where a player should go next. We wrap things up with some discussion of Kodra finally beating Celeste and moving on to the modded version of the game including Glyph. Topics Discussed:

Tonight we are back after taking last week off for Tam’s wedding. We also record an exceptionally long show because we got into the topic… and were not watching the clock terribly closely. So it clocks in at around an hour and forty minutes of talking about Amazon’s New World release and all of the good and bad that comes with that. While this makes for an interesting show… it makes for some pretty boring show notes. Topics Discussed
