What’s Eating Gilbert the Great? (FF4 The After Years Part 7)

The English translation of Final Fantasy IV lied to us. Damcyan is economically fudged up but Edward is so hot everyone cuts him slack with being a bad monarch. Hey, what happened to the hovercraft from FF4? Whisperweed has so many world-building implications. Is the chancellor running the biggest economic espionage game in history?

Rubicante F Kennedy Jr drops by to share some health and wellness tips.

PS: Guys, autism isn’t caused by vaccines or Tyenol or basilisk milk pasteurization. I can’t believe this needs to be said.

You Can’t Woo the Zu (FF4 The After Years Part 5)

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years continues with “Edge’s Tale: The Pulse of Babil.” Also we talk about Crystal Chronicles for like 10 minutes.

Name a more iconic team of four ninjas. Oh. Yeah, I guess the Ninja Turtles. Well. Here are four other ninjas. They aren’t turtles. One of them is a kite sort of.

We go to a brothel for plot reasons. Our invitations to the Hall of Prayer meeting seem to have been misplaced. We become a toad also for plot reasons. We steal some vegetables — not for plot reasons, though. Just for the thrill of it.

So yeah. That’s Edge’s Tale, basically.

Maybe every Final Fantasy is actually just a story told by that one guy at the bar in Troia. Probably not, but there’s still probably enough meat on that bone for a good 20 minute YouTube theory video.

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.
