Yet Another Final Fantasy PodcastThis podcast details a journey of a Final Fantasy fan who has beaten only 1 of the FF games. We go through the games game-by-game chapter-by-chapter section-by-section. We accompany the heroes, deconstruct their stories, compare the different versions of the games, and marvel at the awe that these games inspire.

Final Fantasy V: Shifting Sands
#9
05/24/2021

Are we still playing Final Fantasy V or did Bartz's, Lenna's, Farris's, and Krille's eyes turn pure blue and we called for the mighty Shai-Hulud to take us across the open desert? But the party disgraced the sandworm and spilled its blood across a current of sand.

Final Fantasy V: The Ocean
#8
05/17/2021

How deep is your love?

Final Fantasy V: Northern Mountain
#3
04/12/2021

You know what's really cool? When you do something in the game -- like walk through some poisonous grass -- and it's all fine. You lose some health but you're ok. BUT THEN, if it happens in a cutscene_, totally different thing. That can kill you right away.

Anyways, join the party on a journey up the Northen Mountain!
