Content warning: Some of the discussion in this week’s episode regarding the Sorrow of Werlyt sidequest gets a bit dark, and talks about some potentially traumatic subjects that may be hard to listen to. Listener discretion is advised.

In this week’s episode, Klauss, Seyrr, and Taliz discuss FFXIV Patch 5.55, a rumored Souls-like from Team Ninja based in the world of the original Final Fantasy, and go in-depth about the Sorrow of Werlyt sidequest. We also talk about the passing of Kentarou Miura, creator of the manga series Berserk, and the affect it had on not only the FFXIV player base, but also its creators. We hope you enjoy!
