Told Off by a Teletubby (FF2 Part 2)

We play until the Dreadnaught takes off. Actually we still like this game a lot. Airships are cool. Dreadnoughts are very cool. But then Palamecia does war crimes. Let’s talk about what makes FF2 unique so far. New mechanics, new ways of interacting. Remy gets wrecked by werewolves and vampires. Will other Universal Monsters join in later? This game tells you what areas you’re supposed to wait to enter by ruthlessly killing you when you step out of line. Plus: Purple Pajama Wizard betrayal.

Minwu Is Daddy (FF2 Part 1)

First episode of Final Fantasy II. We played until we rescued the miners and Josef’s daughter, Nelly, from the Mythril mine and return to Altair. We got a full FF game under our belt now and we’re feeling ourselves. One step closer to FF podcasting legitimacy. Mike gets a super legit Final Fantasy pop quiz! Enter Minwu, a favorite character to whom nothing bad shall ever happen. Final Fantasy II’s keyword system and unique skill development. Hey wait, there’s writing and characters and stuff in this game. Hey, why is the inn charging me based on my desperation for healing? What kind of hospitality/healthcare system is this?

Toot the Flute To Get the Loot (FF1 Part 4)

We finished Final Fantasy I! Time loops are literally the worst. How do they even work? Aesthetics of a fallen civilization: always be robed. Did they originally try to call it “Fighting Fantasy?” Really? BUT FOR REAL, THOUGH? Plus listen in to our very first Final Fancast “Final Fancast” where we discuss which character Awkwafina should play in the movie version.

One Last Thing

Here’s that old Nintendo Power bit Mike was talking about.

Magical Ninja Situation (FF1 Part 3)

Let’s play the Citadel of Trials through defeating the Kraken. Mike vents his spleen about FF16. Remy vents their spleen about memorization puzzles. Mike encounters his very first time loop and has to replay the first game thus far. We have our first airship sighting in the series, our characters evolve like Pokemon, and we chill with our new bestie, Bahamut. What do the Black Mage and the Invisible Man from Hotel Transylvania have in common? Let’s think too hard about what oxy-ale is and how it works. Fairy slavery is very bad, actually. Don’t do it. Mike attains a surprising new credentials after being quizzed on dia-bility. Then we’ll get our James Cameron on and take this submarine for a spin. Finally, Remy forgets an important step in completing the Sunken Temple and Mike as attacked by Harry Potter slash fic.
