Hello! For our second episode, we're coming to terms with the PlayStation's size limit for polygonal levels, discussing Citan's precarious position as a father figure and puppeteer, going over battle system basics, and cherishing the emotional necessity of Mitsuda's "Knight of Fire." Remember: if you're a kid who falls into the cockpit of a giant robot and you're going through some emotional mental trauma, you're going to have a bad time inside of this robot...but you're also going to unlock the robot's abilities.
