The Kaito & Red Show
E3 - Final Fantasy IX, but with a twist
In this episode, we kick things off with the latest in gaming news before jumping into our brand-new segment, Extracurricular Activities. Kaito shares his recent dive back into Final Fantasy IX, and just when Red braces for a surprise reveal about Nitro Gen Omega, the tables turn. But the real showstopper? Kaito’s unexpected, emotional, and downright legendary story of how he got into JRPGs—so good, Red calls it the best he’s ever heard. You won’t want to miss it.
