Mike & Remy play through the entirety of The Final Fantasy Legend, a Gameboy game that beats us up, gives us swirlies, and pushes us inside our lockers. We’ll learn to RTFM, discover the importance of a proper diet for monsters, and commit the podcast’s very first act of deicide. Will it be our last? Stay tuned. But probably no.
Mike & Remy set the controllers down and get literary AF. How many books and manga have been written about Final Fantasy I, II, and III? This many. All of these. We’ll talk about all of them but especially Final Fantasy I * II * III: Memory of Heroes.

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.

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…?
