Every so often something affects the entire crew of the show enough to make us want to do an all hands deep dive into it.  We had been waiting for the last few stragglers to finish up the Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers content before recording our big spoiler show, and over the last few weeks that happened.  Tongiht we have the full normal cast as well as a friend of the show Shiana for a sit down as we crawl through the story of this expansion. Unfortunately, we realized there was no way to cram it into a single episode so we will continue next week with the second part.

Topics Discussed:

• Final Fantasy XIV
• • End of Stormblood
  • Shadowbringers Expansion

Tonight we talk briefly about Destiny 2 and the upcoming armor 2.0 and cross save changes.  From there Ash talks about diving into Fire Emblem Warriors and why he thinks it is the best of the Warriors games.  Bel talks a little bit about his new favorite Switch controller the 8Bitdo Pro+. Then Grace and Bel engage the rest of the group in some discussion about World of Warcraft and the Nazjatar and Mechagon areas.  This leads into some talk about Classic and how some accessibility features have lowered the social aspect of the game.

We discuss Pathfinder 2nd Edition, and a very brief discussion about Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3.
