Notes for this Podcast

It's just me and Dave this week. Spare a thought for poor Liam, who's recovering from some lesser plague.

Samurai job class coming to Final Fantasy XIV

The long awaited Samurai job class is coming to Final Fantasy XIV, it was announced at Fan Festival this weekend. You can watch the trailer below to see the reveal of this and some gorgeous new locations.

New Final Fantasy VII:Remake / Kingdom Hearts screens

Tetsuya Nomura was a guest at MAGIC (Monaco Anime Game International Conferences) this week, and he unveiled a few new screens for the Final Fantasy V: Remake and Kingdom Hearts 3 (below). We delve into these and look for clues during the podcast.

Wonder Festival Winter 2017

Otherwise known as WonFes, was held on Sunday 19th in Japan. The event saw a number of new models and figurines being unveiled for the first time - many of them linked to popular gaming franchises. I've included a few of our favourites below.

The Japanese AmiAmi twitter feed (@amiami_figure) covered a great deal of the event also, so follow them for figure updates.
