In the second episode, recorded and released roughly a week after the launch of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Austin and Patrick discuss their initial impressions, their in-game choices, the story so far, and dig deep into the gameplay. Note: Patrick is on Chapter 5, Austin is on Chapter 8.  For spoiler purposes, most discussion of story and character development is focused on the first five chapters, but there are some vague discussions of things up through Chapter 8.

In this first episode, recorded and released before the launch of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Austin and Patrick discuss their history (or lack thereof) with the Fire Emblem franchise, what they know about Three Houses, and their expectations for the game.
