Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! This is a big one, as Ben Hanson is joined by Jacob Geller, Janet Garcia, and Kyle Hilliard to finally talk about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. This is a 100% spoiler-free review of Square-Enix's new RPG. Then we unpack everything wild about the reveal trailer for Elden Ring's expansion Shadow of the Erdtree and all of the highlights from the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase. Then Leo Vader and Jeff Marchiafava join the show to rave about the poker-based deck-building roguelike called Balatro before we jump into wonderful community questions submitted on Patreon.
