Season 1, Episode 9, in which Christmas is all around us!

We play through the Sunken Shrine and have a lot of laughs discussing our experiences.

Five top tips to improve YOUR Final Fantasy Tournament results!

This week we’re joined by JON! FINALLY! Richard, alas, was able only to pop in for a few minutes.

We attempted to discuss Opus IV of the Final Fantasy TCG. We managed it, but we did drift slightly at times.

But if you’re looking for a podcast that covers topics as diverse as…

Bakers’ Dozens

Robot necrophilia

So many doughnuts

Christmas sex

New hamsters

Free food

Dissidia

RICHARD!

Pingu

Accents

H2G2

Chuck Berry and Shaun Michaels

The Pimp Hand

Jon = Plasterer’s Radio

Jon and Arti try to explain to Mark how Final Fantasy TCG Tournament Scoring works. Good luck with that…

Card games are like women

The first ever FFTCG Opus Tournament

Nando’s Starter Kit

Racist? No it’s just the glasses

Graded cards

and Barenaked Ladies

…then you’re in luck!

Recorded as part of Episode 8, Andy takes us through the Earthgift Shrine and describes the strategy he used. We also discuss Tekken 7, Dissidia and the Final Fantasy TCG. ENJOY!

Make sure to look up The Crystal Chroniclers on Facebook and TheCChroniclers on Twitter!

For some reason, Andy decided to try not to swear this week. He failed.

On our way to Final Fantasy TCG discussion we meander through our own histories with trading card games, FFIV and Comrades, whether summons exist, Pokémon (cards AND RPGs), and Andy's Impenetrable Coin-Flip Theory (TM).

While on-topic with FFTCG we look at our own histories with the game, the recent World Championship, favourite cards, new format ideas and everything in-between.

Oh, and our first-ever Reddit question is answered. Enjoy!

Season 1, Episode 8, in which you Crystal Chronicling Heroes stay on topic for much of the episode. Incredible!

We discuss the eighth part of our Final Fantasy 1 play-through.

Season 1, Episode 7, in which you Crystal Chronicling Heroes UPGRAYEDD in the seventh part of our Final Fantasy 1 playthrough.

Plus! Lots of tangential chatter covering not just Final Fantasy, but Aliens, Walken, Flaming Candelabra (Candelabrums?) and much more!

We WERE going to cover the TCG… but instead we learned about fighting games from Arti! To make up for not covering segment 7 of Final Fantasy 1, and for lacking a very poorly Andy this week, we present a bumper-length episode! Thanks to friend of the podcast AJ for suggesting we discuss interests outside of Final Fantasy and thus giving us the inspiration for today’s show.

We discuss Arti’s history of Fighting games in great detail along with:

Les Mis

MLP

Anime on DVD

The Marvel Cinematic Universe

The Room

A GUEST APPEARANCE by Mrs C!

Coffee Town

Spicy Pork Snack

Light Curly Potato Snack

Crisp Wars

And at 1 Hour 42 Minutes: DISSIDIA followed by Final Fantasy TCG! (Yes, Final Fantasy content!)

And much, much more!

FECC 3: The Sauntering

Mark smashes some skeleton skulls, Arti wonders whether he can touch himself, and Andy fails to Elf. A fun round of Final Fantasy/Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition combat in which we learn how it all works.
