Everything Is Final Fantasy

We near the endgame of FFT as we wrap up the side quests and get to a key scene where Delita sets us up for the final breathtaking act of this masterpiece. 

We begin Chapter 4 of FFT as the endgame starts to come into focus. Then we set out on some side adventures featuring legendary heroes of other lands. 

Grand Duke Barrington reveals himself to be among the most despicable people of all time and the Knights Templar fear a book that holds the truth of their religion. 

We continue with FFT as our characters struggle with revelations about the church and the grotesque abuses of powerful men.

We dive deeper into the corruption of the church and crown and the role of misogyny in an episode that feels sadly and eerily relevant to today's world.

Ramza Beolve is branded a heretic! The War of The Lions takes its toll on Dukes Larg and Goltanna while our heroes investigate the Church and the Zodiac Brave Stones.

Chapter Two comes to a close as the curtain rises on the War of the Lions. We learn a shocking truth (or lie) about Princess Ovelia and the story changes genres.

We meet Mustadio and his father and take the Mockingbird (Ovelia) into the arms of the Cardinal as the religious and spiritual themes of Final Fantasy Tactics begin to come into focus.

The story of Final Fantasy: Tactics expands immensely as we learn about the myriad of political machinations of the War of the Lions. Who are the Dukes Goltanna and Larg, what do they want, and what does princess Ovelia have to do with all this?

Ramza and Delita pursue the kidnappers of Delita's sister Tietra as the political machinations of Ivalice deepen and personal tragedy strikes.

Ramza, Delita, and Argath set out on a quest to save the Marquis Elmdor from the Corpse Brigade only to discover that the rebels are quite a bit more than they seemed.

Final Fantasy Tactics dives right into the class struggle between the nobility and "The Meager." Ramza and Delita set out on their first adventure as the Order of the Northern Sky clash with the Corpse Brigade. 

Welcome to Ivalice! We begin our deep dive on Final Fantasy Tactics, a hidden gem in the FF Multiverse and one of the best games of all time.

We break down as many Final Fantasy games as we can from the perspective of Plato's Allegory of the Cave with a specific focus on the recurring theme of Twin Worlds. Spoilers ahead as we dive deep into the philosophical pool of most of the series.

Drew ranks and Ira reacts to the Top 10 Final Fantasy Intros of All Time. This was VERY hard to do but also a ton of fun. What makes a great intro? Which one is your favorite?

We give our final thoughts on Final Fantasy VII (for now) trying to review and encapsulate why this game & these characters mean so much to so many.  

FFVII introduces us to the Materia system, limit breaks, and a host of mini games. Plus, Tetsuya Nomura makes his mark on the franchise, designing some of the most famous characters in video game history.

We count down Drew's picks for the Top 20 pieces of music on Nobuo Uematsu's masterpiece soundtrack for Final Fantasy VII.

We go about the impossible task of ranking individual pieces of music on the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack mostly as a frame work to celebrate more genius from Nobuo Uematsu.

We conclude the incredible journey that is Final Fantasy VII. The story gives us much to ponder and debate as its credits roll... and long thereafter.  

Cloud grows into being a leader. Barrett grows into being a helper. Tifa grows into being our guiding light. Cid grows... just a bit. And we learn the full truth of Aerith's sacrifice.  

Final Fantasy VII reaches another emotional climax as Tifa helps Cloud piece together their shared history in our third telling of the Nibelheim incident.  

Sephiroth takes Cloud and Tifa back to Nibelheim via their memories. We take a look at the history of "memory" as a theme in Final Fantasy and break down the real-world parallels to Cloud's mental break.

After Aerith's death, Cloud struggles with his identity while Sephiroth, Jenova, and Hojo begin to reveal their sinister intentions.  

We discuss the most famous spoiler and arguably one of the most important moments in the history of video games. How and why was it so impactful, what other moments in other media compare, and must it be this way in the Remake project?
