FF Union 58: FF13-2 has too many spoilers already! Sep 13, 2011

Show notes

Square Enix has given FFU a lot of news to talk about this week and the gang has a field day going through it all. This time around, Darryl, Colin, and Lauren sit down and start the show by rifling through all the news that just came out including stories about FF13-2, FF14, and Type-0 (delayed again). The news from FF13-2 brought a rather in depth discussion for whether or not SE is letting too much out of the bag too early. After Colin stops raging, the group moves onto the responses from the latest Burning Question which was "what did you think about the Type-0 demo if you played it?" On the whole, the consensus was pretty one sided, but you'll have to listen to find out what it was and to find out what the new Burning Question is. The trio wastes no time and launches themselves straight into your questions including thoughts on the story from FF13, favorite FF directors, and which FF era is your favorite. This week's music section takes a nostalgic trip back to days of Final Fantasy 2 and the gang talks about what they like! As Darryl says in the show, this is a great episode!

The MiniGUP gang has come together again to bring you your dose of audio delight. Clo, Colin, Darryl and Lauren join each other for a gaming pow-wow. They start things off with a community response or two from last episode about the pirate accents. Afterwards, they go into an in depth discussion about Gamestop and the fiasco that the goofy company created with the recently released Deus Ex. After ranting over the corporation, they move onto talking about their piles of shame in rather alarming and shaming detail. In the same manner, the group talks about what they're playing at the moment and how Lauren is jelly about anyone who's playing Dead Island already. As the show comes to a close, the gang talks about all the games they want to platinum and how it will probably never happen (yay for commitment). Enjoy yourself!
