Yet Another Final Fantasy Podcast

This podcast details a journey of a Final Fantasy fan who has beaten only 1 of the FF games. We go through the games game-by-game chapter-by-chapter section-by-section. We accompany the heroes, deconstruct their stories, compare the different versions of the games, and marvel at the awe that these games inspire.

Final Fantasy V: Shifting Sands

Final Fantasy V: Shifting Sands

Are we still playing Final Fantasy V or did Bartz's, Lenna's, Farris's, and Krille's eyes turn pure blue and we called for the mighty Shai-Hulud to take us across the open desert? But the party disgraced the sandworm and spilled its blood across a current of sand.

Final Fantasy V: The Ocean

Final Fantasy V: The Ocean

Final Fantasy V: Northern Mountain

Final Fantasy V: Northern Mountain

You know what's really cool? When you do something in the game -- like walk through some poisonous grass -- and it's all fine. You lose some health but you're ok. BUT THEN, if it happens in a cutscene_, totally different thing. That can kill you right away.

Anyways, join the party on a journey up the Northen Mountain!

Final Fantasy IV: The Tower of Zot and Going Underground

First and foremost and before our adventure resumes, go checkout NGP Podcast: New Game Plus (ngppodcast.com). I did an episode with them about Final Fantasy IV Advance. It was a blast and well worth the listen! I also frequently hang out on their Discord so you can check me out on there, too! :)

But for today, join me on an adventure scaling the Tower of Zot and then -- we will venture deep underground into the mines of Mori-- I mean, just underground. 


Enjoy the episode!
