    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!

    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!
