Extra Punctuation Transcript

So, I did Final Fantasy 16 recently, starring the sea urchin that walks like a man, and like many RPGs, there’s a lot of talking in it. Ho yes, you can’t just have support character du jour point at a distant crystal mountain and say “Hey, Clive, go break that, and then kill whatever comes out.” No, this is grand epic storytelling spanning decades, you’ve got to go around the houses a few times.
