Double Dadless (FF2 Part 6)

Cyclone devastation! “Everyone is dead.” How many father figures can one game kill off? Let’s finish Final Fantasy II before it gives us the depressions. Mirrors summon dragons. We kill the Emperor. (He gets better.) Then we dance for a very long time. Afters, we’ll treat ourselves to a little headcanon. EPIC REVEAL: Leon is a jerk. Cid gifts you an early Xmas present then gifts himself a nice lie-down. Was Lil Nas X’s “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” music video about the Emperor? Zombie Borghen, what are you doing in that box? Were you waiting to hear our FF2 Final Fancast final fancast? Okay, Zombie Borghen. If you insist.

Hey, check out this cool Yoshitaka Amano art we mention on the show.

Wise Beyond Her Year (FF2 Part 5)

Remy’s upset about something. Not sure what. The podcast ends, but then it keeps going anyway.
Mike is attacked by a wild quiz. The toad spell becomes Remy’s entire way of life. The Red Soul is back – but not for long. The Basilisk is also back but it’s okay actually. Cyclone fortresses are cool but how do they work? Joe Rogan’s not gonna see this episode coming.

Dissed By Deists in Deist (FF2 Part 4)

We play until we defeat Gottos in Fynn then drop by the Tower of Mysidia. Garland sasses us on mic. We celebrate our first chocobo sighting then face our greatest challenge yet: pronunciation. Mike and Remy steal a sacred artifact and kill a member of an endangered species. Gosh, what else happened? Enter Layla the pirate. Exit the king. We break out of the prison in our mind. Plus, move over flat Earth theory — the toroid globe is here to explain the world map.
