Joe Kassabian (Lions Led by Donkeys) and the lads hop in the Highwind and fly it straight into Sephiroth’s face as they conclude their coverage of Square’s monumental 1997 RPG: Final Fantasy VII. Topics include the wild quests of Yuffie and Vincent, the gamer-rage fueled final dungeon, and what it means to fight the end of the world when you’ve got a Sephiroth still lodged in your head.

The start of this episode has got me excited for the inevitable Kingdom Hearts episode in 1 years time 🙃

Also fun fact on the load times, the single player PS1/PS2 FF games weren't optimised for PAL regions until FF12, so they all ran at 5/6 speed, so everything, including the act of walking, took longer to do (whenever people discuss remasters being unnecessary, this is usually one of the main selling points in Europe)

Derek Woods

I love how well this crossover works. I actually found you guys through the episode you did on Lions Led by Donkeys and have been going through your entire back catalog.

Max

Westfieeeeeeeeeeld!

Those days of playground rumors of what you can and can't do in Pokémon Blue made a lot more sense when you realize missingno sounds just as ridiculous and was real

Re: the world map song sounding like Dance of the Vampires (which was an AMAZING discovery), a different part of the song is lifted from the beginning of Spacelab by Kraftwerk. Nobuo Uematsu might have just been really into German music at the time! Michiko Naruke did something similar with her music in the JRPG Wild ARMs! a lot of pieces of tracks in that game are lifted from Ennio Morricone's spaghetti western scores.

Buster sword? I don't even KNOW her sword!

brb, carving "kill the sephiroth that lives in your head" into my arm

i will fight to defend the honor of ff13 (the first game at least)

I heard somewhere that the big fmv sequences were where ff7 hides most of its loading times, and thats how it felt so seamless

Long before I ever played FF7, I played a sega jrpg called Phantasy Star IV that had a death of a main character. Playing it as a kid kind of devastated me. I didn’t know that was a thing that could happen, and you see it play out in a comic book style cutscene while sad, 16-bit music plays. I actually struggled with finding motivation to continue playing; if only there was snowboarding immediately after…

Peter Larkin

"Hot Hands" Joe Kassabian is how he needs to be introduced every time if you ever have him back (and you definitely should)

Brandon Chinn

I disagreed with a lot of the takes in these two episodes, especially the potshots taken at other Final Fantasy titles, but I think we can all agree that JRPGs have this strange ability to both remain socially necessary and important while also providing a wonderful, adventurous escape from reality.

Sean Logan

i appreciate the disdain ff8 received in this episode. it's not great!

Leo Curtis

With regards to the tone of the ending, it strikes me as somewhat similar to NieR: Automata. Not directly analagous, sure, but comparable in some ways. I'd love to see you boys cover that game (Jesse Cox would be a phenomenal guest for that lol).

Rosey Armstrong

Okay hitting the choir song part. This is exactly how Kurt writes songs I think.

Cait Sith

maligning a public servant while they're all losing their jobs irl. smh. justice for cait sith and red is a cat btw
