SG 115 | STATE OF PLAY: FFXVI + ACTUALIDAD & THE MANDALORIAN T3
Episode notes
The episode opens with expectations for the Final Fantasy XVI State of Play and a critical comparison with Final Fantasy XV, before moving on to several games the hosts are playing or recommending, including The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Have a Nice Death. They also devote a substantial segment to the third season of The Mandalorian, discussing its storylines, the Empire’s role and its place within the current Star Wars landscape, with divided views on whether it matches the first two seasons. In gaming news, they cover Ubisoft Plus on Xbox, departures from PS Plus Extra and Premium, criticism of Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 and the announcement of XDefiant. The delay of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and, above all, Redfall launching at 30 fps on consoles fuel a debate about Xbox. The central portion returns to Final Fantasy XVI to break down its medieval setting, exploration, action combat, progression, allies, summons and the RPG elements they still want to see in greater detail.
