On this episode of Random Encounter: - It's our final show of 2018! The core trio of Derek, Caitlin, and Greg get together for a leisurely chat on what we've been playing over the past few weeks, from Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together to Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions. Okay, so it's a lot of games with "Tactics" in the title. - In a year packed with so many games, some were sure to slip through the cracks. Which ones did our crew miss, and which are they hoping to see under the Christmas tree this year, digital or otherwise? - We wrap with some exciting news stories, including the announcement of Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, the official date of Final Fantasy XIV Patch 4.5: A Requiem for Heroes, and the release of a Skies of Arcadia remix album courtesy of OCRemix.
