I have some sad news. Tifa had acute kidney failure earlier this week and has been at the vet trying to recover. Unfortunately we exhausted all options and tomorrow I have to say goodbye. I'm going to miss her so much.
Thank you to everyone who sent their support for Tifa cat, especially those sharing their own personal experiences with loss. It's been really difficult (still crying daily), but all of it really helps with the grief and fighting off the feeling of being alone.
There are plenty of summary videos out there, many of which cover the more recent entries, but the GT Kingdom Hearts Timeline was made for this week. KH III seemed so far away when this was made, but the journey is almost over.
Been working on this since the end of June, but finally glad it made it out. Thanks to
@thenasacova
for the great edit,
@IanHinck
for their amazing assistance, and
@TrailerJones
for bringing this type of video to life with amazing VO.

I truly can't wait to watch many of you play through Rebirth to see your reactions. I loved just about every minute of my over 100 hours in the game. There's so much more I want to say, but it will have to wait.

If you haven't noticed yet, the old GT YouTube channel is gone. Every episode of Pop Fiction is now gone, as are the Zelda and Kingdom Hearts Timelines. I believe I have them all downloaded, but no idea if I'm allowed to re-upload them. Really sucks and pretty upset.
Like Octopath Traveler, Easy Allies didn't get an early review copy of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker for Switch. However, I'll just leave this image here to share my original final verdict on the Wii U version that Nintendo highlighted on the eShop back in 2014.
There is no bottom to how low these assholes will stoop to inflict pain and suffering. They are incapable of empathy and revel in being egocentric and just pure evil.
And just like that, the Trump administration defines sex as defined by biology and wipes out health care discrimination protections for all trans people in the US.
The recent Kingdom Hearts IV announcement had me going back through some old stuff and I came across this gem from a pre-production meeting for GameTrailer's Kingdom Hearts timeline video back in 2013.

PS5 Betting Special - Degeneracy Reborn
The PlayStation 5 is being revealed this Thursday, so it's time for the Allies to play the odds.

So I've managed to watch Season 1-3 of My Hero Academia and got through Season 3 of Attack on Titan over the past few weeks. And I just began Hunter X Hunter.
Well that 2nd shot hit me hard. Right after I ended my RE Village stream Friday night, tried to go to bed and everything hit at once. Fever, chills, headache, soreness. Pretty much stayed in bed all yesterday. Light headache/soreness today, but much better finally.
So

I see Square Enix let influencers wield life-sized Keyblade props and not us. Don't worry, I got something coming our way in two months to make this right.
Late to the party, but HBO Miniseries Chernobyl is amazing. Never really dug into the history of it. I always just knew it as "a city and surrounding area that is off limits due to a meltdown." Did not know the scale and severity of the situation at all.
I know there's a lot of stuff going on and it's the holidays for some, but seriously do everything and anything you can to voice your concerns to your representatives now about the BS the FCC is trying to pull. Removing net neutrality is bad for everyone and only benefits ISPs.
Had power go out so went on a drive to check out one of the post offices nearby. Of the four drop boxes, two locked, two turned around. Shit is ridiculous.
Started watching Arrested Development. Laughing my ass off at this show, so good. I lost it at the "dozens of us" since I never knew where that meme came from.
Managed to snag one of the Ifrit Rouge wines originally for the FF 30th anniversary. Will crack it open for a celebration with the rest of the Allies some day.
This is my latest project. Unique timing given the recent announcement of Final Fantasy XVI and it being developed by key staff from Final Fantasy XIV.
Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Revisited looks at how A Realm Reborn holds up in 2020 and what impact the recent adjustments have for players on the road to Heavensward
In case you missed it live, the latest episode of Friend Code is available for everyone. Big thanks to

@NintenDaan
for joining us during the busy E3 week.
I know some people weren't happy about hearing Ni no Kuni II is around 30 hours for the story. Without any guides (they don't exist yet), I'm at 84 hours and still haven't hit 100%/Platinum Trophy yet...
Debating whether I should drive down to the studio today and do live reactions to Game of Thrones. Probably would just be me, but so many people mentioned wanting us to do this and I'm kinda pumped on the idea.
2021 games I am most looking forward to so far; Resident Evil VII.I.AGE, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Tales of Arise, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, and Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker.
Got to sit down with Kazutoyo Maehiro, Ryota Suzuki,
@SOKENsquareenix
, and Michael-Christopher Koji Fox and talk about Final Fantasy XVI. It was pretty amazing to have all of them in our studio like this. And yes, I asked Soken and Koji Fox about THAT song.
I don’t think I can sleep before the Smash Direct tomorrow. The thought of getting to see a story mode is too exciting. Oh and I guess maybe some new characters would be cool, too.
I'm going to be starting up a new weekend live talk show with guests to talk about a single topic. This means I'll be reaching out to past Friend Code guests, but also would like some suggestions for who you'd like to see since this is NOT just a Nintendo related show.
One of the few times I will push for FF XV ... I really believe that game's soundtrack is better than Odyssey's or Breath of the Wild's and got snubbed from a nomination.
Played more Link’s Awakening today. Stole the shovel and dug around. Got killed by the shop owner. Went back in and stole the bow and arrows. Shot some stuff. Blood fished. Got a new lure. Traded up to bananas. Saw new display stands in homes likely used for new collectibles.
