Recorded November 29th, 2016 (the day Final Fantasy XV officially released).
I show how to use a DualShock 4 (PlayStation 4) controller with the Gear VR, and why you may not want to.
In this bonus episode of my commentary-free playthrough of Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae, I follow up on things I missed in my original playthrough, including additional dialogue, secret items and weapons, and another fight with Deadeye. To cap it all off, I escape the boundaries of the demo and visit the secret Titan players weren't supposed to see. Go to the 23:33 mark for a time-lapse of that last part.

After nine years, I finally play Final Fantasy XV. Part 1 of this commentary-free playthrough covers the opening moments of Episode Duscae, as Noctis and friends have to raise money for the repairs of their car, the Regalia. Lucky for them, a bounty is out on a dread behemoth called Deadeye. I play the tutorial and explore some of the Duscaen landscape while getting into a few battles, ending with a campout and some Potluck Stew.
The first cutscene begins at 2:28.

In my kitchen. Again.
Exactly one week had passed since the launch of the PlayStation 4, and once again I was at my local UPS Customer Center to pick up my Xbox One, a trick I had learned on reddit that would net me the console several hours earlier than if I waited for delivery to my home. I had just dropped off Kitty and White Fluffy Kitty at the vet for boarding, as my brother and I were leaving the next day to visit my mom in Kansas for her birthday and Thanksgiving, returning on November 30th. Eight years ago to the day - November 22nd, 2005 - I was picking up my Xbox 360 from GameStop on my way to Indiana to visit with family and wouldn't get the chance to properly play the console until I got back home and hooked it up to my very first HDTV. Perhaps the next time Microsoft releases a console I'll actually be home to play it!
I did manage to capture myself messing around with the user interface a bit before having to get ready for our flight, along with strapping a GoPro to my forehead beforehand as I drove to UPS and unboxed the console. I wanted to release this on the 22nd but didn't have enough time before leaving for Kansas, though I had managed to livestream my first Xbox Fitness workout. I had ten people watching me exercise. Weird!
Now we're back and I finally play some games!
