    Writes Neo after livestreaming a complete playthrough of the Whirlwind mod as part of the Whirlwind Four-Job Fiesta (FJF) event (VOD here):

    Hi there! In this video I describe my experience with a Final Fantasy V speed running event! I’m not a speed runner but I had a really good time. This speed running event was special as it used a modified version of Final Fantasy V called Whirlwind with many crazy changes to the game.

    The video review is below, so check it out!

    Writes Neo shortly after his Final Fantasy V playthrough and review:

    So very exciting news everybody! I got invited to a Final Fantasy V Summer Fiesta event by @clymax. It features a heavily modified version of the game in which people speed run it! I’m no speed runner but I couldn’t say no to such an exciting opportunity. I am as blind as possible on what is modified about the game so very exciting stuff. I’ll be streaming my “speed run” of the game July 17 at 6:00 PM MST!

    So, mark your calendars, boys!
