Bartz, Lenna, and Faris have decided to tag along with Galuf to defeat Exdeath once and for all, a decision that takes them to a whole new world. There, they meet Exdeath's coterie of dipshits in his meat castle. We pick up with World 2 to talk about the remainder of Final Fantasy V, which swings from high systemic highs to low grindy lows.

Hey! We look back at the surprisingly and tragically relevant 2014 game Wolfenstein: The New Order. Getting it out of the way: Fuck nazis and rest in peace Heather Heyer.

The whole episode isn't that though. TNO is not only a surprisingly affecting narrative, it's also a sharp shooter in its own right with wonderfully sketched out characters and pathos to spare. Give it a listen. 

Kole and Gary tackle the Final Fantasy with some of the most complex mechanics and most anonymous characters and places in the series. This episode covers generalities and world one.

Peter Bemis joins us to talk about Way of the Samurai, a strange and forward-looking game from the early days of the PS2 era. As a wayward ronin in the Meiji Era, you stumble across a town that's in the middle of a power struggle. Two families are working against each other, unmindful of the bigger threat headed their way.

This action/fighting game features multiple paths and endings, and it's meant to be played over and over again. Hear us work out the story and the structure, and talk about how it all comes together.

We have a very good problem. Too many of you patronize us, and too many of you ask good questions. We weren't able to fit all of your prompts and topics into a regular Dispatch episode, so we decided to let them overflow to this special presentation. We will do this from time to time in order to make sure our backlog of questions doesn't get too long.

This is an extra spicy episode of the WOFF Dispatch, as we cover tons of our questions and prompts before settling in to talk about gaming addiction and the tricks developers and publishers use to foster it. Then we read your responses to A Hat in Time, Psychonauts, and Mirror's Edge.

No game makes you WANT to like it as much as Psychonauts. Raz is a great character, the counselors at his psychic summer camp are top notch, and the aesthetic is excellent. The problems begin with the play, since the game only shows a passing interest in being an enjoyable 3D platformer. So Doublefine's premiere effort is endlessly charming, but also a pretty big disappointment. Listen in to hear us be even more conflicted.

The blues have dispatched the birds and sometimes things don't age as well as we'd like. One good trick isn't always enough to save a game.
