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!
