One by one, we collect all the weapons in preparation to enter the realm that takes us to the last portion of the game. It's time to finally take advantage of the class system and defeat some more optional bosses!

Are we climbing a mountain and entering a volcano for _this_ tablet? Of course, not! We'll do the opposite. Join me on this journey to get the fire tablet and complete another quest that brings us closer to the end of the game.

Wind tablet? Time to snatch it up. We're halfway through the tablet, gaining experience, and moving forward :)

Now that we have the airship, time to explore the world and see how different it is than it used to be. But wait, what's that? Oh yeah, there's a new secret spot we gotta check out!

Is this a sidequest? Might this be our shortest episode? I don't know! but yeah, probably.

Back to the past? Nope, just back to Earth where we'll get to learn some of the backstory we've been so desperately missing. Wait, wait, no way. Wer are officially 2/3 way through the game!!!

Time to conquer the fortress of Doom! I mean, Exdeath's Castle. Did Square get licensing from Id to make these levels?

Regardless, follow our characters as they uhh ascend to the pits of hell!

20,000 leagues under the sea, our party will roam in a submarine! Join me on an epic journey through the dark seas of the second world.

Let's visit the Valley of the Dragons!

Time to meet Moogles in FFV! Sorry about the lesser-quality audio. I'd like to blame Audacity but really, I gotta pay more attention to which mic it picks when it records.

Twitter: htts://twitter.com/yaffpodcast

Time to visit the main lair of the main villain. What will Exdeath's Castle reveal to us? Will it be a brand-new lesser villain turned comedic relief?

Meteroids: rocks in outer space

Meteors: rocks that burn up in the atmosphere on entry

Meteorites: rocks that stick the landing

ok but what do you call a space rock that survives the re-entry but then can blast off back in space again???

Time to kick it up a step further and re-armor our little flying battleship so it can reach heights it has never reached before. Join me on this journey where we fly SHMUP-style to the floating Ronkan ruins!

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.

How deep is your love?
Is it like the ocean?

Maybe, maybe not! Maybe it's time to take to the ocean and then see the Crescent Town which absolutely has nothing to do with the Crescent Lake in Final Fantasy I.

Time to finally meet Mid and explore the Library of the Ancients. Join me on our journey to not only retrieve Cid's grandson but also obtain the power of a firey summon.

Twitter: htts://twitter.com/yaffpodcast

Join me and the party when we meet the one-and-only Cid (well, the one and only in this game!) and learn of the Fire Crystal which is causing some trouble out in Karnak.

Time to re-visit Castle Tycoon -- now as a player rather than an NPC. And guess what? It's time to beat our first summon 💪

Twitter: htts://twitter.com/yaffpodcast

Let's travel on a muffled journey through the Walse Tower in pursuit of the Water Crystal. Will we get there? Will we get hints about the backstory of one of the characters? Join me and find out!

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! 

Twitter: htts://twitter.com/yaffpodcast

Come listen to the spooky shenanigans that the party is up to this time. We will visit the Ship Graveyard, run into monsters, and get a glimpse into Galuf's past.

The journey starts and we dive straight into Final Fantasy V Advance. Join me on a journey of a confused party of heroes that aren't sure what's up. Where one of them doesn't even remember who they are.

The season has come to an end! Let's recap and rejoice in the journey that Final Fantasy IV took us on. 

Twitter: htts://twitter.com/yaffpodcast

The last leg of the journey will take us levels upon levels deep inside the Moon where we will face the true evil that has been manipulating the world _all along_.

What's this? The Tower of Babil spawned a Giant? Don't worry for the power of friendship will help us defeat this fiend! All the civilizations across the world and the under world band together to bring down the Giant of Babil in this episode of YAFF podcast!

Twitter: htts://twitter.com/yaffpodcast

Let's talk about Final Fantasy I, II, III, and IV! 

Twitter: htts://twitter.com/yaffpodcast

Uhhhh what? Yep, we're skipping our FFIV quest in order to celebrate a year of YAFF!

I'll be going over Final Fantasy: Spirits Within as well as Trials of Mana. Why "Trials of Mana"? Don't ask. 🤐

Twitter: htts://twitter.com/yaffpodcast

🚀💎💲 In this episode, we will go to the moon! No! Not the GameStop kind but the one where we will sail a large whale to get to. Happy Valentine's Day!

Twitter: htts://twitter.com/yaffpodcast

Side quests? What? Yep! Let's do some fun things on the side before coming back to the main story. :)

Twitter: htts://twitter.com/yaffpodcast

Had enough of the Tower of Babil? Glad that's over, right? WELL GUESS AGAIN! Join our heroes and our new hero on an edgy journey up and down the magnificent tower.

Let's fly underground! So we can scale a tower! To go back above ground. Then jump underground and fly above ground! We've come a full circle in just one episode

First and foremost and before our adventure resumes, go checkout NGP Podcast: New Game Plus (ngppodcast.com). I did an episode with them about Final Fantasy IV Advance. It was a blast and well worth the listen! I also frequently hang out on their Discord so you can check me out on there, too! :)

But for today, join me on an adventure scaling the Tower of Zot and then -- we will venture deep underground into the mines of Mori-- I mean, just underground. 

Enjoy the episode!

I wonder -- if I wear metal armor into a cave that is full magnets, will I just stick to the ground? Well, pretty much! Let's put on some wooden armor, buy some wooden sticks, and go beat the Dark Elf together!

Twitter: htts://twitter.com/yaffpodcast

We are back, baby! We're back in Baron, ready to battle. Let's see what kind of person the king really is.

Scaling a mountain is always a good step to redemption. Join me on a journey to redeem Cecil by Deux Ex Machine.

Wondering if I'm going to recount the fact that Rydia was a child and she was forced to perform the same spell that killed her parents? Wondering if I'm going to _keep_ recounting it? Wonder no more!

In this episode, I keep with my FF4 tradition of pointing out the horrendous things characters do and try to justify!

Twitter: htts://twitter.com/yaffpodcast

It's time to start saving people and fighting monsters without _any_ moral ambiguity. :D
