It had to happen – a Final Fantasy VII episode!

I’m joined by superstar special guest John Baldasera to explore the legendary soundtrack of Final Fantasy VII, composed by Nobuo Uematsu. We both have pretty hefty emotional investments in this one. Expect some true VGM classics, a couple of deeper cuts, and some alternative versions of pieces taken from what is arguably Square’s finest hour.
