Their clientele includes industry giants such as Electronic Arts, Naughty Dog, Square Enix, Blizzard Activision and many more."

Yoshi-P speaks up after the stalking tool controversy hit the mainstream, and it seems Square Enix is taking a strong stance against third party tools. Some claim this is too little too late, but is that true? We also have the date and time for the next Letter from the Producer Live - what can we expect to see there? We discuss Patch 7.16, and the summary of the recent "A Stroll With Yoshi-P" which revealed a few interesting upcoming features... We also read MogMail where we discuss our favorite overworld mobs!

Last week, Barry Carenza shared some impassioned takes on Final Fantasy 7 as a mini franchise in the larger Final Fantasy universe. This week, we have a one on one conversation with Justin Hamm as a counter point. Ranking as his favorite game of all time, FF7 not only marked the beginning of a love for RPG's, it became the catalyst of a lifelong love of the medium in general. STARRINGJustin Hamm of The Stage Select PodcastSONG COVERSStolen Materia (Final Fantasy VII) | Classical Guitar Cover by John Oeth Guitar - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwlCVMytWcsListen to the Cries of the Planet (Final Fantasy VII) | Classical Guitar Cover by John Oeth Guitar - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2l8p5jRrZIMy Website: agamerlooksat40.comMy Discord: https://discord.com/invite/SdaE4atGjCMy Twitter: @agamerlooksat40My TikTok: @agamerlooksat40My Facebook: facebook.com/agamerlooksat40My Insta: @agamerlooksat40My Patreon: patreon.com/agamerlooksat40My Email: agamerlooksat40@gmail.comMy Phone Number: Ehhhhh, not gonna happen. :-D  Support the show

In this week's episode, join Scrag and Chris as they navigate through a lighter week in gaming news. With Brian out for Lent, Scrag takes the helm alongside Chris to bring you the latest updates, colorful commentary, and a sprinkle of humor on the gaming industry's current state. This episode kicks off with a discussion on Monster Hunter Wilds, reviewing its impressive sales numbers and community feedback. As veterans chime in on the difficulty, Scrag and Chris ponder over potential expansions and the community's ingenuity in creating their own challenges. The duo then shifts gears to the tech world, examining Nvidia's tricky situation with chip shipments to China and its impact on the company's stock prices. They delve into investor reactions and Nvidia's evolving focus away from gaming toward AI and data centers. Racing through other topics, the conversation touches upon iRacing's new adaptive AI feature and its implications for sim racing enthusiasts. Path of Exile 2 also gets a spotlight with a surprising speedrun revelation, challenging the perception of the Warrior class in the gaming community. On a more business-oriented note, Scrag and Chris explore PlayStation's rumored global layoffs, Neil Druckmann's comments on the future of Last of Us Part 3, and Yoshi P's surprising absence from Square Enix's board of directors. Finally, they delve into the intriguing yet controversial world of gacha games and discuss the roles of current Twitch titans like Hasan and Ethan Klein in the ever-evolving landscape of streaming entertainment. With a thoughtful mix of industry insights and personal anecdotes, this episode promises to keep listeners both informed and entertained. Don't miss out on the unique perspective Scrag and Chris bring to your favorite topics!

For the past few months, we've been speaking heaps of sugar about Final Fantasy 7. But it's not the perfect experience many fans my think. Taking up the position of someone less than enthusiastic about the game is co-founder of Premium Edition Games and co-host of the Nintendo Fuse podcast, Barry Carenza.

This has been an exciting week in Sacred Symbols World. We're riding high off of our two hour interview with ex-Sony executive Shuhei Yoshida, and we're eager to reminisce and reflect on it. (You can watch or listen for yourself on Sacred Symbols+.) But as far as news is concerned? Well, this week is a little slower than most, which is why we packed extra listener inquiries into the show, and still covered what was there: Fresh rumors of a Tony Hawk 3+4 Remastered Collection, leaker updates concerning Square Enix's remakes of Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy Tactics, clarity on HBO's seasonal plans with The Last of Us, the potential emergence of a major Rainbow Six Siege update, and much more. As usual, we then round things out with listener inquiries on a variety of subjects. What are our thoughts about the recent layoffs on the Marvel Rivals team? Does SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku run the risk of overexposing the Yakuza/Like A Dragon franchise? Why are many creators so eager to politically and socially alienate their audiences? Is Colin on the verge of converting to Islam? Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.

More than the pillars of Cloud, Sephiroth, and Aerith, Final Fantasy 7 is filled to the brim with memorable moments, both big and small.

We had already finished this recording when surprising news broke in the world of PlayStation: Sony has cancelled two of its upcoming, unannounced games. And -- would you believe it? -- they were both live service titles, including a God of War spin-off. The really unfortunate news, however, is who was making these titles: Bend and Bluepoint, two smaller AAA teams that typically work on a single project at a time, thus wasting years of development, as well as time and resources that can never be recovered. What in the world is going on with PlayStation Studios, and how did the person who helmed the first party family during such a tumultuous period of greenlights and plug-pulling ascend to the top of PlayStation itself? It's time to start asking some really hard questions. Other news this week includes substantial rumors of more Xbox content en route to PlayStation which, if true, will make Microsoft the single most-prolific producer of content for a platform that was once its arch-rival, but no longer. Also: Reactions to the first Until Dawn film trailer, a surprising end to Rocksteady's Suicide Squad game, accolades for an exceptional-looking upcoming vampire RPG called The Blood of Dawnwalker, tantalizing news about Bungie's in-development Smash Bros.-inspired MOBA, and more. We wrap up our episode (as we always do) with listener inquiries. Now that Nintendo's Switch 2 has been revealed, what are our preliminary thoughts? Is 2025 the year we finally give PSVR2 the respect it deserves? Why is it so hard to make swimming control well? Is it just a weird coincidence that SEGA renewed its Ecco the Dolphin trademark on September 11, 2001, or is there something deeper at play? This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
