At long last, the end of our Final Fantasy IV: The After Years series! In this special jumbo-sized two-part finale, Mike and Remy work through the extremely long final chapter, The Crystal: The Planet Eater.
In After Years II, we battle our way through the gauntlet of bosses on the alien lunar surface. Finally, we add one more creator god to our podcast’s kill count.
For all our complaining about The After Years, Kain’s Tale mostly worked for us. In fact, according to Mike, this was the “high point of the After Years so far.” He even liked Cid in this bit — which is huge!
Castle guards won’t let you through. Kain’s mission is in the throne room. Edward becomes Gigachad. The Twingers are never relevant. Mirrors are weird. We apologize to Dan. Sorry, Dan.
The dragon is crying. Porom is a parentified child. Edge is spotted lurking in the bushes wearing a t-shirt that says “sicko” and rubbing his hands together.
We really lay into Kain this time, folks. We really let him have it.
We kill SO MANY big scary moon critters. I’m talking behemoths, dark bahamut, a monster’s breath, ogopogo himself. Ghosts and far-away friends send spiritual aid along the way. Some enemies stop being bad, which is nice. Some dead friends stop being dead, which is also nice. We unsubscribe from Kain’s Christmas card updates. Gamer Science returns with boss battle tips, like Zeromus is tough and may warrant a little grinding, but if you hit level 80, you’ve gone too far. Shout out to Maddy Morphosis and her ginormous hair. Shout out to Sweetums the Muppet for being ginormous hair.
