Topic starts at: 29:56. This week we discuss the gameplay and mechanics of FF2! You can find our Discord, Patreon, social media, and more at https://linktr.ee/retrowarriors.
In this episode Adam is joined by Chris Coplien from the Retro Hangover podcast to chat about the first 3 Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters. A lot of waffling on about the Final Fantasy franchise in general but a fun conversation none-the-less!

A Fireman who just wants to be good at the job and doesn't mind going out training, working out, trying to make those around him better and attending conferences outside his department.

In the 99th episode of this podcast I finally finished FF2 in all its glory and it was a ride, let's discuss it and go over the last few bits and pieces and my final thoughts before divulging into Sonic 06 and 8 hour long Yu-Gi-Oh game speedruns and plans for the 100th episode special!
After I finished watching a let's play of FF15 I had the itch so I decided to give FF2 another try and my god am I glad I did because I think I'm in love so here's me gushing about it for 40 minutes and going over the plot and the characters and the grind. Plus I might talk a little bit about an endless AI generated episode of Seinfeld and Virua Racing.

From stolen phones to abandonment issues, your hosts are going through it in this conversation. We talk about our high standards and low expectations or males as well as back handed compliments that we wish we handled better (or in Mariangies case, remember.) Let us know what you think. FF2 need your opinions. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fajitas-for-two/support
In this episode we talk about habit building and how one qualifies as an athlete or a morning person. We chat about how Londoners treat Alicia's Texan accent as if it's another language and Mariangie comes to her defense. Place your orders, what is next for your hosts of FF2? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/fajitas-for-two/support
Reality TV is giving and we have something to say about it. From the Love is Blind reunion to the latest developments from The OC. FF2 dabbles in being sports girlies and Alicia shares her adventure into English football. Mariangie gives her latest TV recs. The weather is cooling down (in London only) but this episode stays heated.
The Met Gala was last week but it's not too late to chat — we cover who was FF2 approved and who was a MISS. We then dive into the heavier topics (warning): we get a little heated talking roe v wade updates then spill on the toxic friendships that haunted our early 20s and how we'll never go back!! Aye yi yi.

When we think of film, and often when we reward a film, we focus on and think about the actors, directors, and writers being the ones who bring a world to life, and take it from an idea to a reality. But less often recognized is the work of costume designers, makeup artists, hairdressers, special effects artists, set designers and those who work on the craft behind the film. They are the ones who build the world that is brought to life on screen, who curate the physicality of the characters, and communicate details that tell the story whether we notice them or not. The work of costume designers can illustrate the personality or growth of a character, while also giving the viewers information about the time period, socioeconomic class, and location of the characters in the story being told. The creation of the body and the space that the body is in is essential to setting the stage of the story being told. In this episode special guests FF2 contributor Roza Melkumyan, and Media Associate, Nicole Ackmanwe join us to highlight the work of costume designers in the film industry and just how important it is to recognize the work that is often performed by women behind the scenes, and often overlooked by audiences and critics.

As a part of our celebration for Women's History Month, we are so excited to be partnering with FF2 media to bring you some special episodes that highlight the incredible achievements and contributions of women to film, music, and the entertainment industry at large. Joining our discussion are two very special guests, FF2 Founder & Editor in Chief , Jan Lisa Huttner, and Social Media Coordinator, Timberley Torcato.In today's episode, we look through cases of female director and actress collaborations that illustrate how a female director is able to bring out the qualities and characteristics often absent in female characters directed and written by men. Over the last few years, we've seen an explosion of female directors breaking onto the scene and with them, their muses, the actresses that inspire them. This partnership between the female director and actress allows them to explore and present the female perspective on screen in film and TV.

This week, or perhaps many weeks ago, the guys joined forces with The Lipstick Panel once again to discuss/rank the Final Fantasy II OST. Join us for all the laughs, disagreements, and downright flagrantly incorrect opinions.
Childhood friends Chili Cheese Jay & JTB spend an hour reminiscing on their shared favorite game of all time; Final Fantasy IV (or FF2 as they originally played it on the SNES as Kids). This podcast is just as epic as the game itself, so enjoy some sweet nostalgia regarding a video game that broke the mold.
Dziś wyjątkowy odcinek, w którym wspólnie wspominamy miniony rok. Zanim zaczniecie słuchać podcastu chciałbym Wam przekazać ważną informację o nim: pierwsza część odcinka była nagrywana 30-ego Grudnia, a druga (dopiero) 5-ego Stycznia - ciekawe, czy znajdziecie miejsce przejścia :P Nie było to zaplanowanym manewrem, a koniecznością spowodowaną awarią serwerów Discorda oraz awarią strun głosów po darciu mordy w sylwestra. Z tego powodu kilka odniesień do "dzisiaj", "w tym tygodniu" itp., może nie pasować - wybaczcie. Mamy nadzieję, że mimo wszystko nasza retrospektywa 2017 Wam się spodoba i zachęci do dyskusji: czym Was miniony rok pozytywnie zaskoczył, czym zasmucił, a czym....wkurwił.

It's time for our Nobuo Uematsu spotlight episode. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the tunes! PART I With the exception of Hironobu Sakaguchi, there really isn’t any other name more synonymous with Final Fantasy than that of “Nobuo Uematsu”. Composing either all or part of 12 of the 15 main-series final fantasy games, much of the feel and atmosphere, that visceral, unspeakable part of us that sings when we are reminded of a Final Fantasy, may be the melodies that Nobuo Uematsu is responsible for. With numerous remixes, live symphonic performances, and the original scores themselves, fans of Final Fantasy have relived their FF adventures through listening to the plethora of material presented by Nobuo Uematsu through their headphones while they do homework, clean their homes, or drive to work. There is no doubt that without the contribution that Nobuo Uematsu has brought to the series, much of our experiences with these games would be dramatically altered from what they are. Where would Star Wars be if it weren’t for John Williams? You could ask the same of Uematsu. Note: You will be hearing a large number of remixes through this two-part Nobuo Uematsu spotlight, as well as some concert performances, and tracks from the games themselves. The youtube links for all of the pieces will be provided in the descriptions, and we ask that if you like a particular piece to consider following the links and supporting the artists that keep the music of Uematsu alive. Let’s get to it… [small interlude with the main FF theme] Nobuo Uematsu was born on March 21st, 1959 in Kochi, Japan. Inspired by the music of Elton John, he taught himself how to play the piano at the age of 12. Shortly after graduating from Kanagawa University, Uematsu began writing music for commercials before being hired by Square Co. in 1986 to work on video game scores. For 18 years Uematsu worked at Square, creating over 30 video game and movie soundtracks before separating from square in 2004 to become an independant contracter. We’re gonna pay special attention to these years, as that’s where most of the Final Fantasy meat is at; but first, let’s rewind the clock back to his very first game score, co-written with Takashi Uno, this is a piece from “Cruise Chaser Blassy” called “Space”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcmWisadc9Q 1986 would end up being a very busy year for rookie Nobuo, the next game he’d work on would be his first that he’d compose entirely on his own called “Alpha”, although we can’t seem to find any tracks for that game, his next would be a NES classic called “King’s Knight”. Here’s the theme from that game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBui5DMZAVs December of 1986 would feature his next soundtrack, that for Suishō no Dragon. Here’s the intro track for that game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MIhB2mgcRA The 3-D Battles of WorldRunner would push Square’s stereoscopic 3D technology to the limits and with the music of this game, we would see a side of Nobuo we hadn’t seen before, you could call it “super pep” here’s a cover of the main theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDZhruBVzP4 Another soundtrack was made for a little piece of software called “Apple town story”, and he would follow that up with “Mystery Quest” (not to be confused with Mystic Quest, a later game). Here’s a taste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_qIcMhmXJ0 With few exceptions, most of the pre-FF games Nobuo Uematsu worked on have been forgotten, with the most notable detail about them being that they had soundtracks created by Uematsu. Nearly forgotten games such as Genesis, Alien 2, and Cleopatra no Maho, which were next up in line, could probably be seen as pot boilers for what was to come, quick cash grabs before Square’s impending doom in 1987. Here’s a taste from the 26/40-famitsu scored Cleopatra game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGnh3e6wNdo Rad racer would come next, notable for being one of the few racing games on the NES. This is a track called “Grand Canyon”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpzbHphuVrk&index=4&list=PL0D98064E11A94D91 One of the first dating sim games would follow (I sense desperation) with the long-winded mother fucking title of a game called “Nakayama Miho no Tokimeki High School”, that Nobuo would co-score with Toshiaki Imai. And the last game Nobuo would score, a sequel of sorts to 3D worldrunner would be that of “JJ”. But ya’ll wanna get to the good stuff. I can feel it. Fine. His last effort of 1987 would be the soundtrack for Final Fantasy. This now-legendary soundtrack featured both the arpeggio prelude and main theme that would be staples in the series to come. He remarked once that he felt kind-of embarrassed as he hadn’t worked all that hard on pieces that would be hummed by gamers around the world. This is one of the best songs in the game. Here’s a cover for “Matoya’s theme”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdRMfqWNJok Beginning in 1988, Nobuo would slow down his work to 1 to 2 games per year, primarily being that of the scores for Final Fantasy games. Occasionally though, he would take a detour. Here’s a track from “Hanjuku Hero”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebIzHCFGxTc His other score of 1988 would be for the sequel to FInal Fantasy, Final Fantasy 2. Much of the original score from FF1 would make it into FF2 for our enjoyment, along with some original works. Here’s a remix of “Rebellion”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU06ttrbqcM For some reason Square thought it would be a really awesome idea to make a game based on the book Tom Sawyer, but if there were someone who could make a killer soundtrack for such a game, it would be Uematsu for Square’s Tom Sawyer in 1989. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auLBLk4ibAk Ha ha jk Here’s a real piece from the game. An effort from Nobuo to make a soundtrack more, as he calls it “scenic”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2uUfAcF7T8&list=PLfUvsxulQQd-zuBTVzmYzj1RvOArPnnEp&index=1 The Final Fantasy Legend, or as it was originally called in Japan, “Makai Toushi Saga” (the reason it’s not counted as an FF game in our podcast) would round out 1989 with this Game Boy classic and square’s first platinum hit at the time with 1.37 million copies sold. Nobuo remarked that he had difficulty coming up with the 16 tracks for the game because of the hardware limitations of the game boy. Despite this, the game would have a soundtrack considered as classic for many of its fans. Here’s a remix of “Battle With Creator”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXTMQ4APiwg Final Fantasy 3 would follow in 1990, and with this game came the fucking awesome piece “Crystal Tower” check out this power-metal remix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT8humrSC2c Considered one of the best Racing Games of the NES, Rad Racer II would be yet another game graced with Uematsu’s presence, as his 11th game score. Here’s a super upbeat cover of Gumball Crash titled “Fire in the Tires”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trFfjaNtySI The second Saga game or “Final Fantasy Legend 2” would come next, and would eventually be heralded as 97th of the greatest games of all time in a poll by Famitsu. For this game, Kenji Ito would assist in composition. Here’s a piano cover of “Save the World”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCLU6V6coqg Nobuo’s first masterpiece would come on the SNES and would be his only game of 1991. He’s called the composing process for the game one of the hardest in his career. Staying up with the sound team deep into the night, the music would be so heralded that one of the tracks from the game would go on to be official music curriculum for japanese school students. That game would be Final Fantasy IV, and that song would be “Theme of Love”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfV0YlvBpvE And, how can we call ourselves fans of FF IV if we don’t include Fabul’s Theme? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlklyML9Pu8 Nobuo wouldn’t write anything for Romancing Saga, although for it and its sequel he would assist with the arrangement, his next mega-work would be Final Fantasy V. FF5 would require Uematsu to create over 56 tracks, a favorite of the game being the song “Dear Friends”, which Nobuo has performed on countless occasions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgBccEEtu64 The next track is featured during the fight with one of the series’ most beloved opponents; Gilgamesh. Here’s a cover of “Clash on the Big Bridge”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQGcv3encAo We could legiimately make one of these entire episodes about FF6, but we’re gonna go ahead with the two big tracks from that masterpiece of a game. Here’s an amazing metal cover of “Dancing Mad” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqPP9tp6PKo And let’s finish it off with a favorite of ours, Terra’s theme. Join us next week for part 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG-Q9ELmGpw

Another week, another episode of Final Fantasy Union is here to discuss all things FF related. Unfortunately, there’s very little to discuss! Join in with Darryl, Colin, and Lauren as they sit down to chat about the franchise. After ranting a while about there being very little news since the release of FF13-2, they move into the two pieces of news: the DLC in FF13-2 for Sazh and the estimated sales figures. The gang is not impressed with either of them so listen in to find our why. They move right into reading your answers to the Burning Question which was “What do you think of the FF13-2 DLC?” After a brief discussion on what it would be like if Square-Enix outsourced the FF franchise to another company, they go right into your questions including how they each played Noel in the game, their thoughts on the voice acting in the game, and whether Versus will be released on the PS4 rather than the PS3. And this show, the music gives you a throwback to the era of FF2 with a killer remix.
