Every Final Fantasy

Mike and Remy are playing every Final Fantasy game in the franchise. Guess what? It’s a whole dang podcast. There’s wild head canon, time loops, hypothetical movie fan casts, and sometimes silly games. It’s not the first Final Fantasy podcast, it’s the first EVER Final Fantasy podcast called Final Fancast.

You can listen if you want. No pressure. New episodes every first and third Friday.

Maximum Mullet (FF3 Part 8)

Let’s power through this Crystal Tower and finish Final Fantasy III. These final dungeons do go on a bit, don’t they? Unei offers unsettling dream interpretation. Xande pulls a classic villain move. Force Ghost Doga returns to feed elderly men to dragons. We lose a fight with nasty weather and mash that snooze button on the cosmic alarm clock. Apologies to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Aesthetic Lava (FF3 Part 7)

Onward to the Labyrinth of Ancients and Syrcus Tower! We fight a Titan made up of four Gastlies then touch another crystal and are imbued with exciting new vocational skills. Remy timeloops back to Eureka. Talking weapons are cool. The knight job is okay I guess. Does the ranger have wilderness survival skills or…?

Vs. The Nine Foot Tall Twink (FF3 Part 6)

Mike acquires some summon monsters. We get a rad new airship that comes with guns and a free bed – but who services the Invincible’s vending machines? How does Unei use dream mastery to clean up some rock mess? How precious is human mortality actually? I wonder how the Hecatoncheir feels about his precious mortality after we kill him dead. Mike spills some tea about the development of FF3. Along the way we’ll visit the Temple of Time, the Ancient Ruins, Falgabard, and the Cave of Shadows.
