Final Fantasy Tactics E22: Wither Their Constitution [Bed Desert + Bethla Garrison]

Now there is a podcast I had not thought to find in these wastes! Bathe with us in the muck as we’re learning from Matsuno why Orators get guns, possessing powerful evidence of the church’s misdeeds, staying two steps ahead, acting as expected, dropping spores in the wind, respecting the constitution, only understanding transactional relationships, excusing Orlandeau from villainous plotting, picking the same wall, resisting the poison, double-gripping the stabby knife, hacking blood up a...

POLL: Should we do a podcast on the 1986 film The Name of the Rose?

We are having a discussion about FFT bonus content. In one of his interviews, Matsuno mentioned The Name of the Rose as an inspiration. Now, we don't have the capacity to cover the book, so the question is -- would anyone actually give a shit if we recorded a pod about a 1986 italian murder mystery sent in an abbey in the 1600's?

Based on Eric's viewing of the film, it's a Council of Fucked Up Guys movie.

So, should we?

Final Fantasy Tactics E21: Authentic String Puller [Zeltennia Castle + Beowulf Quest]

God is watching, have faith. God is also listening to us assuming the piss position, successfully whistling grass, gaslighting ourselves, flying in from Final Fantasy XII, pursuing beauty, acquiring heroes of myths and legends, ordering dairy from the liquor bar, caring not for coin, remembering Beowulf facts, befriending a dragon, wishing for the anti-pervert, quitting darkened halls, thinking as a free thinker, reframing Ovelia as sister-girlfriend, questioning our own motivations, and year...

Final Fantasy Tactics | Recording Session #13 | E25 - ???

Join us for a little Friday morning recording session. Hop in the RealNet, have a coffee, and let's talk about perverts! We'll be starting at roughly 8:30am ET.

Final Fantasy Tactics E20: Athiesm is Only Temporary [Brevenia Free City]

Zodiac stones read the metadata of your heart. You ears read the metadata of us narrowing seven to four, making our name shit, waiting for a new dawn, using the auracite for good actually, false fighting the second pervert, citing heaven, campfire’ing next to corpses, killing jobbers off screen, simultaneously referencing U2 + Queen + Jefferson Airplane, ruining a good name, stripping new hires of their clothes, inflicting atheist effects, and radicalizing another bereaved sibling. Power ov...

Final Fantasy Tactics E19: Perverts Can Never Die [Riovanes Castle]

All such tales of gods and their miracles are false. But not us, and not when we’re swearing on words that have no honor, realizing scripture is leverage, taking fate into mine own hands, listening to death noises, slaking thirst for revenge, selling out for the lord, perverting into another ghoul, unthinking brains, slaying another pervert, surveying the murder room, frowing up on myself, letting Isilud rest, sparking divinity from Alma, losing days’ past, retching our innards, repaying ...

Let's Play That Lunar

Hey everyone,

Here's the stream that I did last night to kick off Season 7's coverage of Lunar. I'll be doing this regularly as time allows over at our YouTube channel. Subscribe over there if you'd like to keep up with the streams. Otherwise, see you later!

Final Fantasy Tactics | Recording Session #11 | E24

I'm sure you know I'm right. What I'm planning to do is completely justified.

Final Fantasy Tactics E18: The Leverage and the Slop [Yardow Fort City + Yuguo Woods]

The air is thick with death’s foul stench. This episode is thick with sliming rockets, adding another cultural stereotype, invalidating past benevolence with modern action, resolving sibling arguments, allowing a heretic to triumph, opening the orphanage-to-assassins pipeline, becoming conduits of heaven and nether, speaking to a frog, becoming a knight in shining armor, slaying lingering souls, hiding fascism with austerity, assigning true power to the templar, gaslighting the church, slap...

Final Fantasy Tactics | Recording Session #11 | E22-E23

They're all spread? Nice wind. Should be enough to float them around in the air for most of the day. Live at 7PM ET!

Final Fantasy Tactics E17: Differently Jokerfied [Dorter + Grog Hill]

We are all but puppets, dancing as they pull our strings. You are all but listeners, frolicing as we’re taking shelter from the rain, meeting with an outland mage, being honest about forbidden knowledge, refusing to be a puppet, wishing no more need of tears, excavating at the mines, delivering job reports, falling out of Mana Secrets, recruiting a juvenile game hunter, buying freedom with blood, slaughtering deserters, appearing on a handbill for heresy, justifying infinite war, adopting a...

Final Fantasy Tactics E16: Unsuitable Facts [Underground Book Storage, Part II]

Only with power can dreams be made real. Only with this podcast can we tell you about wishing for the Auto-Face, persisting in a fool resistance, fighting in the book store, confusing opponents by betraying our class, normalizing the battle gauntlet, girding for battle, becoming a thrall of the church, jokerfying yet another would-be ally, living for this, wiping a brain after defilement, switching to demon dialect, biting from the fruit of the tree of knowledge, leaving things undone, and re...

The Xenosaga Wifecast will record this evening at 7PM ET

We'll be going live at 7PM Eastern. Join us on the YouTube link in this post!

Also, I bought 100 ft of ethernet cable so the stream will be stable!

Final Fantasy Tactics E15: Brother's Blood in My Eyes [Lesalia + Underground Book Storage, Part I]

What nonsense is this? Well, it’s an audio variety show where we’re playing Dycedarg’s theme for a meeting with Zalbaag, wondering if Zalbaag is dumb, failing to avoid Alma, proving truth words, fighting a heresy examiner, perverting into the Lucavi, profaning the gods, cutting a deal with Alma, rumoring Elmdore’s death, storing books underground, acquiring magic rocks to gain the people’s trust, making Alma guard the base, wishing we were born a man, assigning the universal mong th...

Tinkering with Junk, a new thing

Hey everyone,

In the midst of working on Final Fantasy Tactics and planning Season 7, we've been thinking of some new ideas. One of those ideas came to fruition a few weeks ago in our Memory Cards stream, which was a lot of fun for us and seemed to be pretty enjoyable for the audience.

We'll, we're taking this concept and turning it into a monthly Patreon stream called Tinkering with Junk. In this stream, we'll doing random things like going through more memory ca...

Final Fantasy Tactics E14: Precursory Games of Thrones [Bethla Garrison + Goland]

Mentally, are you becoming a coward? Vocally, we’re entering a pope meeting, pronouncing “Orlandeau,” feeling lost in the sauce, using a prisoner’s confession as an excuse to kill a guy, recognizing Orlandeau’s prowess, showcasing multiple councils, haggling over war logistics, closing the borders, going against the big tide, performing the forbidden dance, preaching secular theories, believing in god so much we quit the war, rescuing a shuffler, obtaining a battle dict., and shakin...

Final Fantasy Tactics E13: Belly Based Goblin Teeth [Lionel Castle]

Think of us simply, as allies. Allies who are not touching our supper, expressing a shit head belief system, revealing a princess as false, laying out different scenarios, figuring out scenes were added to the PSP release, swearing vengeance to killers, granting Wiegraf a second act, finally 1v1’ing Gafgarrion, feeling cold, thrice damning Gafgarrion, making our purpose plain, showing up too late to save the princess, transforming into the taint king, excruciating in ecstasy, waving goodbye...

Recording Stream | Memory Cards, a Show About Memory Cards

This time: the memory cards Chris found in a laptop bag when he was on the way to Disney World.

Final Fantasy Tactics E12: Wrong Doing [Gologrand Execution Site]

Stop looking at girls, stop looking at rocks. Instead, look at us with your ears as we’re warning Ramza off the criminal conspiracy, reading six books, wondering who pilled Delita, realizing the nobles and the clergy are united in corruption, sniffing out a fake, losing another princess, preferring Dragoon to Samurai, falling for a gallows-based switcheroo, expecting Ramza to prodigal son his way home, painting deeds as foul, appreciating Gaffgarion’s persona, literally saying “game of ...
