    Writes Neo shortly after his playthrough of Final Fantasy III on the Nintendo DS (playlist available here):

    Today we are playing Final Fantasy III for the NES on this stream, but it’s not a normal version of the game.

    For you see it has been modded by ‪@cIymax‬ and is called Final Fantasy III Crosswind!

    And I will be “speed running” it if you catch my drift.

    It should be a fun time!

    So, mark your calendars for Wednesday at 8pm Eastern, boys!

  • Final Fantasy V: Whirlwind Fiesta

    Event and Mod Review by NeoKakarot

    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!

    So, what do you think? Agree with Neo’s assessment of Whirlwind? Comment below, or hit us up on Discord.
