    In this episode, we’re taking our listeners to school as we study up on the undisputed center of knowledge on Hydaelyn – the nation of Sharlayan. On the surface, it seems like an enlightened utopia of learned citizens in the tradition of the Ancient Greeks. However, in a society that values information and education above all else, what becomes of the uneducated working class – and how might the government control the information its citizens receives? How did their strict moral values cause them to abandon their Eorzean colony of New Sharlayan, later turned into Idyllshire? And how exactly does one earn a Ph.D. in the academic study of badassery? Though there will not be a quiz at the end, we’re sure you’ll want to take plenty of notes on this one.

    Muses are like potato chips — you can never have just one! The addiction to alternate characters, or alts, has spread across the entire FFXIV player base, affecting roleplayers worst of all. Creating a second (or third, or fourth…) original character, and starting the game again from scratch, can be a fun and fulfilling experience — except for the parts when it’s a long, dull grind, of course. In this episode, we share our tips and those of other alt-aholics on how to share your love amongst all your children. We discuss the many tidbits and easter eggs you can find in full playthroughs that can’t be found in The Unending Journey; pros and cons of sticking to one server versus trying another server; the extra costs and Mog Station purchases you may need; optimizing gear and leveling with the least amount of repeated effort; and how to set goals for each of your characters’ progress.

    Who better for our first guest interview than Luna Vox, a kindred spirit RPer and podcaster. The co-host of Phoenix Down Radio visits MuseCast to talk about why roleplayers have more fun! Tune in for the story of how Role Hyperion changed the server’s RP scene, growing to 100+ members in only a month. We share stories of how RP helps us get through tough times, blowing off the haters, and spamming silly emotes at NPCs on video. Also, we almost forget that we told iTunes we weren’t explicit content.

    Yarr, mateys! This week is all about the fascinating pirates (and former pirates) that help make Limsa Lominsa such an... "interesting" city. Join us as we discuss the histories of some of these colorful characters. Like how Eynzahr went from Pirate King to Storm Marshall, and that time Merlwyb made Hyllfyr her bitch, and how Rhoswen and Carvallain are totally tsundere.

    Ever wondered how a place that is overridden with pirates and pillagers, wenches and wastrels, manages to stand as one of the great city-states of Eorzea? Or how the Garlean Empire was instrumental in uniting their factions? Or their bizarre ritual for appointing a new Admiral? Our second episode discusses the socio-political fabric of Limsa Lominsa, the moral values of pirates, theories on what life experiences shaped Merlwyb into the admiral she is today, and what might be underneath her steely exterior.
