Get bonus episodes on Patreon! Final Fantasy XVI gave us something that we've been missing from modern fantasy -- sweeping, romantic, breathtaking heroism. In this episode, we start by introducing the Final Fantasy series and our history with fantasy games before drilling down on the elusive, magical parts of this world that really spoke to us. Topics include: a la carte storytelling, heroic scale, aspirational heroism, role playing, flow states, difficulty modifiers, and our evolving relationship with the fantasy genre.
