Episode 31 – Derailed

With the rush of FanFest slowly dwindling, we discuss the state of the game, and ask the question, is the latest round of content too easy? Luna fills in for a missing Seyrr this week to discuss things she has learned from the Encyclopedia Eorzea, and Chille wonders why he keeps agreeing to guest host with us each episode.
