This week, Jared and I reach into our grab bag to talk about a few topics. First, because of the recent Nintendo Direct, we do a quick run through of the announcements and what we’re excited for (I’m excited for a lot). I also squeal about Luigi’s Mansion a lot.
Second, Jared decided after seeing the trailer for Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition that he was interested to see if they had improved the combat from the original game, so he played and I watched while he played through the PS4 version. We’ve previously talked about the major story beats of Final Fantasy XV, so here we talk about what’s changed for this edition, the art style, whether there are any improvements, and if Jared’s opinion on Final Fantasy XV have changed because of this version.
Third, Jared talks about his recent experience with the PS4 release Marvel’s Spider-Man. He talks some spoilers, but he also tells us about the combat, what they did right, what they did wrong, and how Yuri Lowenthal really made Spider-Man his own. We also both get happy that Miles and Mary Jane are finally getting good attention.
