August 26, 2020 #51: 5.3 Chat (omg my melons)
It's our two year podcast anniversary and we're here to bring you a lengthy discussion of all the great new content in patch 5.3! We're not dipping in to the story yet, so there won't be any spoilers (except light NieR raid spoilers that are easily skipped). There's a heck of a lot of new content in this patch and the associated events and we go through all of it! The Gundam fight, the new extreme, the melons! Oh also there's some really irresponsible cash shop spending and an announcement for our second giveaway!

August 12, 2020 #50: 50 on 5.3
Come join us in our celebration of our 50th episode and this glorious new wave of content! After a long wait patch 5.3 is upon us, and we waited to record until after we dipped our toes in so we could share our impressions. We've got our initial impressions of the 5.3 patch, offered up free of story spoilers. Also, we're doing a giveaway of a Kingly Peacock mount to one lucky listener. We've placed entry details strategically within the episode, and we'll be taking entries until August 21st, 2020.

July 30, 2020 #49: News We Could Use
We did it everybody! We trekked across the content desert and staved off the drought of news to make it to a cool, shady oasis of STUFF TO DO really soon! We've got an episode packed with discussion of the latest Live Letter (LIX) and all the juicy details it brought. We've got an extended trailer reaction and some discussion about where we think the story is going to go, so beware of spoilers if you're not all the way caught up with the story. In addition to that we have some amusing tales of woe from the dungeons and a little bit of news about two special episodes coming up for us. Join us under this shady palm tree and bask in the cool breeze of content, won't you?

July 18, 2020 #48: Macros Plus
We're back with another "content drought" episode to give your ears something to do while waiting for that sweet, sweet patch 5.3. We got an update on our hosts' relative predictive abilities and unfortunately the worst prediction for a release date was the right one. We're really sorry about being right, and we definitely didn't make more awful predictions we don't want to come true. Okay, well, maybe just a few.

Oh, also we talk about in-game macros and their various uses and merits. From genuinely valuable things to questionable to downright obnoxious we cover all the ways you can enhance your gameplay using macros, perhaps in ways you never considered! There's also the usual chit-chat about what we're all doing in-game to keep ourselves distracted from the waiting.

July 01, 2020 #47: A Year of Bringing Shadows
It's been a whole year since Shadowbringers came out! Yes, just that one year, actually. So we spent most of the episode reflecting on the release and how it's been. There is plenty of story spoiler in here, so beware if you haven't finished the expansion for whatever reason. We're also still finding extra things to do in the game while we eagerly await the 5.3 patch and we discuss our various progresses (spoiler: Pan did finish mentor roulette) and also make some predictions for the 5.3 release date that range from hopeful to quite pessimistic.

June 17, 2020 #46: Catching Up With Hunts
We've got good news and bad news for you in this episode. The good news is ... that we have another fun episode for you to dive in to that gets oddly metaphysical for a couple of minutes and then fun again. The bad news is that we have to talk about the cancellation of the North American Fan Festival for 2020. Come process your grief with us, and once that's settled, settle in as we discuss the merits of the hunt trains. Are trains good? Bad? Inherently neutral, as are all machines used for locomotion? Give us a listen and then tell us what you think!

June 03, 2020 #45: Non-Sequiturs
Another fort night (no, not that one) has passed so we're here for another episode! It's a very quiet time in the game so we took a pretty loose format for this episode as there honestly isn't much new game content to discuss. We spent the majority of the episode just discussing what we're doing in the game. Pan's on the mentor roulette grind, and the rest of the crew has updates on max leveling all their jobs. We also finally get around to those extremely, remarkably thirsty pictures from Square Enix of your favorite in-game characters living their best lives.

May 20, 2020 #44: A Return to Moogle Tomes
As our collective staycations go on we've seen many new players and people coming back to the game after a long break so we decided to take time time to share our "do"s and "do not do"s for all of you new and returning players. Somehow we managed to be pretty nice about the whole thing, and conjure up a bevy of helpful tips if you're feeling nervous about diving back in. We sandwiched this rare bit of helpful information between two salty slices of bread as Poptart gets very upset about that one time she had a bad experience in a group and ... then also gets grumpy about the new Moogle tomestone rewards. She may be mad, but we think you'll be glad to hear our latest episode!

May 06, 2020 #43: All Things 5.3 (Final Fantasy XIV Patch Discussion)

The time to set long goals and achieve that thing you’ve always wanted to do is NOW! While we wait up to an extra month to get the 5.3 update, the content is going to be massive, so make sure you get all your fate achievements and mentor roulettes out of the way while you still have time. Shout outs to all the translators out there who allow us to get live letter info as it happens, not to mention even more details than the digests can provide.

Join us as we discuss all the cool things of the 58th letter from the producer and totally not anything about headgear and housing.

April 21, 2020 #42: Lions, Tigers, and Relics
It’s time for another mentor roulette! Wait, that can’t be right. While Pan talks about mentor roulette for most of the episode, the rest of the crew is talking about bigger and better things, relics! The first relic stage is easy, so easy that some members of the free company already obtained every single one (yes, that also means the Skysteel tools). In addition to the new relic weapon there was also new relic gear that was locked behind an ex trial, which all of the hosts actually did together. To wrap the episode up the discussion moved to the announced live letter happening on the 24th. What do you expect in the definitely delayed 5.3; new game plus, NieR raid, or missing voice acting?
