Two millennials with maxed out goofball stats tackle one of the biggest video game series of all time. Mike (lifelong superfan) initiates Remy (total FF newbie) into the arcane secrets of Final Fantasy one game at a time. Ridiculousness ensues. Friendships are tested. Each episode, more final than the last.

    Too Much Chore Door (FF4 The After Years Part 6)

    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.

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

    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. We also talk about Crystal Chronicles for like 10 minutes. 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.

    Should Have Cast Hindsight (FF4 The After Years Part 4)

    Sometimes you get stuck with a timeloop curse. Sometimes you gotta replay part of the game. Spoiler alert: sometimes you have to do it again later. I hope you like cold opens, mid-credits scenes, and extra dramatic goofiness. I was up way too late finishing up this one and I'm very tired now. (Episode 27, by the way – just in case you're trying to remember why the mid-credits beginning bit sounds familiar.) Anyway, this time we talk about Final Fantasy IV: The After Years - Palom's Tale. Special thanks to Remy's wife for lending her vocal talents for this episode. Special thanks to Unei for the coffees.

    Great Big Listener-Powered Quiz

    We asked our listeners for Mike-stumpers and they sure delivered. Now let's barrage Mike with questions about the first four Final Fantasy games and see what happens.

    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: https://apnews.com/article/palm-oil-abuse-investigation-cosmetics-2a209d60c42bf0e8fcc6f8ea6daa11c7 https://www.counterpunch.org/2023/10/09/palm-oil-the-ingredient-behind-human-rights-abuses-and-eco-destruction-thats-probably-in-your-home-right-now/ https://wwf.panda.org/discover/our_focus/food_practice/sustainable_production/palm_oil/responsible_purchasing/ https://www.worldwildlife.org/resources/facts/endangered-species-threatened-by-unsustainable-palm-oil-production/

    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)

    Oh boy, 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.
