OK, Broomer (Final Fantasy Legend III Part 1)

We’re finally diving into Final Fantasy Legend III, aka SaGa 3! This episode takes us across the past, present, and future in our quest to stop the Water Entity from flooding everything everywhere all at once. We’ll stop off in Dharm, Elan, Lae, Viper, and Muu, and eventually blast off to Floatland for a showdown with Maitreya. Along the way we puzzle over the new five-step transformation system, wonder at the mechanics of nonlinear causality, and demand answers about Talons and their Units. And who or what is Xagor?

Thoughts and Prayers (FF4 Part 6)

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.

The Foose is Loose (FF4 Part 5)

Lunar Whale to the moon! Let’s beat up behemoths, bahamuts, and one iron giant who enjoys being a gun. Meet our new friend, a beard with claws. Meet our old frenemy, Kain, who can’t make up his mind about anything. We scheme to keep him as our pet mini pig-frog. You might assume CPU stands for “central processing unit” but no, it’s definitely something else. Transporters are scary.

Moons Over Mysidia (FF4 Part 4)

Edge’s parents meet a terrible fate. Can ninjas walk through walls? We get a sweet new hovercraft grabber for our airship. Dwarves are incredibly generous and possibly don’t know about lying. Who spilled all this lava and acid on the floor? Remy finds a new vocational calling. How did Leviathan and Asura meet? Why are these doors so mean? We do a little escapism. Stops at the Adamant Grotto, Eblan Castle, Cave of Summons, the Feymarch, Sylph Cave, Sealed Cave, and the swear zone ’cause we’re not bleeping those cusses anymore. Sorry, cool babies.
