Hey peeps,

Here's next weeks video.  Tis a long one.  Didn't think I'd get it done in time for an Early Access post today but just about managed it, in the end.  Twas right to the wire though.  I'm a bit tired now lol.

This will probably be the last video (on my channel) of the year so there won't be an Early Access post next week (and possibly the week after).  So Merry Christmas.  Bit early but whatevs.  Happy Holidays and stuff.  I hope you get that thing you want.  Or your kid's little faces light up at the thing you've bought them.  Or... the cheese is nice.  Whatever makes this Christmas extra special for you; I hope it happens.

For me - Christmas comes pretty early.  Bloody FF7 Remake Intergrade is coming out on PC in like... 2 days.  On the Epic Store.  I'm gonna play the shit out of that game (again).  I've only played the PS4 version so I'm really looking forward to playing the Yuffie story and seeing the game in all it's PC glorious goodness.  Even if it just ends up being unlocked framerates.  Idgaf.  

FF7 is one of my favourite games of all time.  (Although FF9 is a little bit more special imo).  I haven't really enjoyed the newer ones as much.  Basically from about 10 onwards - the single player titles have been a bit disappointing to me.  BUTT... I have high hopes for 16.  Mainly because Yoshi-P (FFXIV guy) is leading on that project so... at the very least, the story will probably be amazing.  Only thing that concerns me is I have a feeling the combat is gonna end up being Souls-like.  And uhhh... I know i've mentioned this a few times now but... not a big fan of souls-likes.

What else?  I would talk about FFXIV again but we're still very much within the sorta 'Spoiler Window' as far as I'm concerned.  I've just reached Level 85 quests myself so, in theory, I'm about halfway through Endwalker.  Probably over halfway through.  Got about 55 MSQ quests left to do.  But it's been kinda incredible.  So far it's managed to terrify me.  It's managed to punch me in the feels.  One particular Trial had me shaking, I was so bloody nervous about it.  And it's shown me some of the cutest little motherf***ers I've ever seen in my life.

And finally - What are my thoughts on this Kalimdor book fiasco?  Well... bit of a fiasco, really.  Blizzard do not seem to have their shit together at the moment.  The lore discrepancies are bad enough.  Makes you wonder how it made it all the way to publication.  

Side note: on the plus side...  now that they've recalled it... if you somehow managed to get a copy... bag that bad-boy up cos it's a collectors item now!  That incorrect and maybe a little bit racist book is going to become quite valuable in the future.  

But yeah - the stereotype shit.  Not only is it problematic; it's just so goddamn lazy.  It's really lazy writing, imo.  And lazy thinking as well.  I just want Blizz to stop doing weird, stupid shit.  lol.  Is that too much to ask?  STOP DOING WEIRD, STUPID SHIT BLIZZARD.  ARE YOU TRYING TO DESTROY THIS FRANCHISE?!  COS IT FEELS LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO DESTROY THIS FRANCHISE!

Anywho - Thanks for reading my essay.  Also thank you very much for your support.  Merry Christmas.  Happy New Year.  And I'll see you lovely peeps soon to continue this series and stuff.  Cheers!
