Aw man, it’s Final Fantasy Friday again! Starting a little earlier at 8:00PM US & Canada Central/1:00AM UTC tonight. Team Beef Stew is off to get the last crystal. Looks like one more week and we’ll beat the game.
Stream here, but chat is located here on the web (though you must have/make an account). As always, you can also get Shou.tv on Android or Apple phones in their respective app stores (it’s free).
I better start getting ready.
This is why I love betas.
