At last, the episode you’ve all been waiting for – Swag Tier finally brings you a full length feature about Final Fantasy Explorers. Ok, it’s not really a “full length” feature unless you define full length as approximately 10 minutes, but that’s still one third of a 30 minute episode, which is a lot of air time for a game that is over one year old. Other topics include:
- the massive task of cleaning Megan’s closet;
- the relationship between game difficulty and playability in various games;
- and Frizbee’s first (and for her sake, hopefully last) encounter with the Easter Bunny.
