When a Boat is Sneaking (FF4 The After Years Part 3)

Ursula and Yang have daddy-daughter drama. A monk in the bar knocks back kava dranks while a drag king shows us how it’s done. Kain returns and he’s changed his mind again. Adamantoise strikes back. Red Souls are especially noxious because they contain Red Dye 40. We blast House of Pain at the Impact Crater like it’s a gd Pringles commercial, then trek, trudge, and traipse our way through the ‘gator-infested Flashback Forest.

Hey, palm oil is a complicated situation in our world. It’s not all hand harvested from a natural palm grove by a tortoise-punching baddie. Here’s some links about that:

Broken For Realsies (FF4 The After Years Part 2)

We’re back! All our old pals are back, too. Dwarf Princess Luca has a new look – now with 100% more facial visibility. Calca and Brina are also back to battle on our side mostly. Hey, did you know that sometimes dollbots can combine into one big baby doll megazord thing? Sometimes big creepy baby megazords can shoot missiles. In those times, it’s great to have one on your team. Plus you can repair the dollbots with junk you find in a cave and I’m pretty sure that’s called upcycling.

Maybe Rydia can summon this goblin instead of summoning absolutely nothing. Goblin summons for everyone! Everyone got a goblin summon, right? Did anyone not get their goblin summon? Anyone?

Back to the underworld. Back to the Sylph Cave. Back to the Sealed Cave, which should be called the Not Sealed Enough Cave. If these walls could talk, they could probably coordinate their attacks a little better.

Getting punched by a big buff man doesn’t often feel like winning – but sometimes it is winning sort of.

Biblically Accurate Lilith (FF4 Interlude & The After Years Part 1)

Final Fantasy IV -Interlude- and the first chapter of The After Years were both much longer than we expected so get comfy because it’s gonna be another extra long episode. Was Final Fantasy IV -Interlude- more like Final Fantasy: The After Thought? Is The After Years kind of good, actually? How many times is this big honkin’ tower going to start glowing? I’m talking… dang ol’ light pollution, man. Giant robots that combine into an even more gigantic robot are pretty cool, though. There is a little complaining about backtracking and surely this is the last we’ll say on the matter for the rest of this series. The developer’s room contains an UNSOLVED MYSTERY. Mike references Lord of the Rings again. Remy manages to reference the Dragon Ball franchise thrice. Can you spot them all? We say quite a few positive things about The After Years so far but don’t worry – there’s plenty to complain about later.
