🆕️ @SEGAGuys video 🎞 In 1990 Sega launched Racing Hero in arcades around the world on its System X arcade board. Was this just another Sega also-ran, or the best racer you've never played? youtu.be/UlcmWqw8-7I

I love and hate this scene from FF7 Remake. On one hand, it gives meaning to why Tifa stayed behind, believing in being there for Cloud, like he said he would be for her. On the other hand, the plot ghosts would've just saved him. I honestly detest them, they just rob so many important moments.

One thing I feel that gets lost in the whole "Sony ending physical" is that their codes/ accounts are geolocked. Even if you order a code in the box, it might not work. When I say geolocked, its not even in the old "Region" ways of days gone, it can be country to country. I've had UK codes not work.
