  • Ep 103: Final Fantasy 4 (Part 3) - All The Things We Didn't Talk About Yet
    May 27 2024

    As we put a bow on our virtual round table regarding Final Fantasy 4, there's still so much to discuss. In this, the third and final installment on FF4, we take a shotgun approach to the stories by sharing - well - all the things we didn't on the previous episodes. We talk themes, story, logos, sound effects, and one particularly nasty wall in this omnibus episode.

  • Ep 101: Final Fantasy 4 (Part 1) - Introductions Into a Brave, New World
    May 13 2024

    In the winter of 1991, Final Fantasy 2 stormed onto North American shores as an SNES launch title and was met with middling enthusiasm. US gamers were too busy stomping Goombas and driving hovercrafts to worry about turn based combat and wandering in circles.

    But for those who took the plunge, they discovered not only a love for the series but a new genre to adore. Join myself and a host of fans as we share our earliest recollections and memories of Final Fantasy 2 - I mean, 4.
