My name is Sean, and last week, I fell down some stairs and messed up my leg. Then this happened:
(Spoiler alert: a whole lot of Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition)

Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition's intro cutscene was over before I got called in for X-rays, leaving me with nothing to do but tweet about it.
Not sure if I want to play it again here, hold out for a Switch port, or just new game plus on my PS4. pic.twitter.com/qgJCZ241fd

I wasn't completely sold, but the PlayStation 4 version of the game had dug its hooks in me so deep that it actually tricked me into buying Cup Noodles. Damn product placement. Damn nostalgia. Damn it all: I just had to keep playing.
At least the first taste (no, not of the noodles) is free.

Is it bad that I miss the @ColemanUSA branding on all the camping gear? What is Final Fantasy XV if not a vehicle for product placement? pic.twitter.com/6QYJpvJYvc

I can't decide on my own. Please help.
I turned on my PS4 last night, but it just wasn't adorable enough. Should I keep playing @FFXVEN (Final Fantasy XV) Pocket Edition?

My leg is fine, by the way. Mostly.
