Phase Two arrives tomorrow and it wouldn't be a launch without a developer interview, so listen in as Countdown chats with Classic devs Tim Jones and Josh Greenfield about what's coming our way. After that, we finally publish two amazing conversations that circumstances have (grossly) delayed, as Jimmy from The Fantasy Nuttwork & Allen from The Library of Allenxandria stop by to discuss story telling in gaming, and then, with the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2 right around the corner, we hear from game composer Will Roget and music academic Ryan Thompson all about the magic of the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack.

• Phase 2 Dev Interview - 10:40
• Story Telling in Gaming - 40:55
• The Music of Final Fantasy VII - 2:50:15
