Fantasy is dead...or is it? This time we cover one of the most critically-acclaimed JRPGs of 2024. Does it live up to the hype? Join us as we discuss incredible narrative twists, anime character tropes, and how we're slowly killing Delaila with these 100+ hour video games.

Note: The music track at the start of the episode is “Ode To Heroes”, composed by Shoji Meguro for the Metaphor: ReFantazio Original Soundtrack. We in no way have or claim ownership of this music.

It's that time of year again! Geoff Keighley put on a literal comedy power hour for his annual awards show, and we're here to painstakingly talk about and criticize it. Join us as we discuss our top announcements, our biggest gripes, and give more time to the awards themselves than Geoff did - but not before we follow through on a listener question from last month.

Note: The music track at the start of the episode is “King's Verdict”, composed by Shoji Meguro for the Metaphor: ReFantazio Original Soundtrack. We in no way have or claim ownership of this music.

We asked, you asked, we answered! Last month, we sent out a call for listener questions to facilitate a more casual episode. Join us as we answer those questions, where we spill the beans on our PS5 Pro thoughts, how we handle our personal backlogs, and why Mark is such a curmudgeon about Silent Hill 2.

October is here, so naturally we decided to play...an action game? This spooky season, we take a look at the sequel to a contemporary survival horror hit. Does it live up to its predecessor? Join us as we discuss bland villains, speculative re-releases, and how much we'd clearly rather be playing Uncharted 2 again.

Note: The music track at the start of the episode is “It Had To Be Unitology”, composed by Jason Graves for the Dead Space 2 Original Videogame Score. We in no way have or claim ownership of this music.

Final Fantasy XVI released over a year ago and gave us two DLC episodes to continue Clive's journey. Are they additive enough? Does the game hold up a year later? Join us as we discuss two very different boss fights, debate once again about what makes a Final Fantasy game, and have a drastic change in audio quality (listen at the end to find out why).

Note: The music track at the start of the episode is “Frozen Tears”, composed by Masayoshi Soken for the Final Fantasy XVI Original Soundtrack. We in no way have or claim ownership of this music.

Greetings, fellow Arisen - we finally took a break to talk about an RPG that doesn't have "Final Fantasy" in the title. Join us as we embark on a different journey discussing an uneven plot, easily missable side quests, and how Delaila just really wanted more portcrystals.
