Melonmancy PodcastMP#72 - Button Mashy Garbage for Weebs# Ladies and gentlemen of the court of public opinion, welcome to the trial of Ralph Panebianco
This episode is super delayed to get edited. In this episode we give a detailed first impression of Final Fantasy 16, as well as break down with evidence why ShillUp is totally wrong about this game.
This episode took so long to edit because Dielan went on to finish the game before editing the episode. Just could not put it down.

In today's episode (recoded June 6th) The Sony State of Play just happened and today's controversy with Twitch and Reddit had only just started. You can expect updates on those topics in our next episode since things got so much worse after we recorded this. You can also expect our usual ramblings about what we saw at the Sony show, including this bastard of a Marathon reboot. Also fuck Konami.
