THINGS ACTUALLY HAPPEN THIS EPISODE as Rich and Jake and a group of people we kinda like but don't particularly care about really step into some poo as we learn all about the clearly dangerous and not particularly trustworthy Occuria.

Rich and Jake have a chat on what the future installments of the Final Fantasy VII Remake have in store for us. What changes do we expect to be made, what changes SHOULD be made, and what things should be left alone.

After a brief MODERATELY SPOILERY talk about FF7 Remake we get to proper FFXII business at about the 14 min mark.

Rich and Jake spend a whole lot of time walking. And Fighting. And Walking. And Fighting. And then there's more walking. Followed by even more fighting. So much the same thing we have to debate the order of the areas we walk and fight through. There is little to no plot development. Jake gets his ass kicked a bit so thats pretty cool.

All this nothing and more await on the latest hot mess we call DAAAAAAAAMN CHOCOBOOOOOO.

Don't forget yo' walkin' shoes.
