Podcasts about Final Fantasy Tactics

This time, Tom shares his adventures in Mexico, and Julie has tales to tell from Greece. Then, we kick of our discussion of video games that feel like board games with Eric's obsession with Blue Prince, before moving on to a bunch of other electronic games, including some that have made the leap to boardgames. We open up the mailbag for a question and Tale of Horror, and break down our Roses, Thorns, and Hula Hoops. 00:57 - Following the Script 01:21 - Announcements: Dice Tower Cruise and East 02:24 - Tom in Mexico 06:27 - Julie in Greece 06:48 - Video Games that Feel Like Board Games 08:05 - Blue Prince 10:42 - Slay the Spire 11:24 - Balatro 16:22 - PS Remote Play 19:26 - Final Fantasy Tactics 21:26 - Citizen Sleeper 22:21 - Sunderfolk 23:35 - Jackbox 24:57 - Telltale Games 26:24 - Making the Jump to Board Games 36:25 - Question/Tale of Boardgaming Horror 44:28 - We Love Cats 46:41 - Ito 49:55 - Donald Duck in Happy Camper 54:51 - The Morrison Game Factory 58:20 - Lynx 59:43 - Camino a Xibabla Questions?

Patreon.com/RememberTheGame XCOM 2 has been lurking near the top of my "someday I'll play it" list for years, and I finally puled the trigger (no pun intended). After over 70 hours of sitting at my PC fighting aliens, I can safely say that XCOM 2 isn't just one of the best tactical RPGs I've ever played, but one of the best games I've ever played, period. If you've never played it, XCOM 2 is a tactical RPG, like Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy Tactics. You move your soldiers around on a board game-esque grid, and take turns with the computer, who's doing the same with aliens and robots. But in between missions, you're traveling the world gathering resources and using them to upgrade both your troops and your ship. Aliens have taken over the planet, and it's up to you to take it back. It's a little tough to pick up out of the gate, but once you're over the hump, it's addictive as hell. My guest this week is the winner of our Extra-Life charity auction from last December, Robert. He picked this game and now I can see why. We get into the meat of XCOM 2, talk about the superb War of the Chosen DLC, talk about our favourite soldier/ability/equipment combinations, and laugh at the bulshit that is missing a 94% shot with your ass on the line. And before we save the world, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week, we HAVE to talk a little Switch 2. How am I feeling about WrestleMania this year? And will OG Switch games be discounted after the Switch 2 drops? Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 of the highest scored tactical RPGs on Metacritic: Valkyrie Chronicles, Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions, and Fire Emblem: Awakening. Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1992, Final Fantasy V came to Super Famicom in Japan, but in the west, the seminal JRPG would remain a mystery for years. In 1999 (via PS1!) English-speaking audiences would gain access to the game for the first time (unless you played fan translations via emulator, of course), and since then -- whether on GBA, PC, phones, or more recently modern consoles -- FFV has always held an interesting place in the pantheon of great Final Fantasy titles. Is it as monumental as IV, VI, or VII? Not at all. But it's still extremely special in its own right, an adventure predicated on a robust jobs system that would later help inspire the likes of Final Fantasy Tactics, jobs utilized by a small core group of protagonists that stand the test of time (and pull at your heartstrings, too). For KnockBack's triumphant return, we thought we'd get back into the Pixel Remasters where we left off, and needless to say, we've got a lot to go over. So get in your airship, or on your chocobo, or whatever mode of transportation speaks to you most, and join us for another old-school chat. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a new series on 1997's Interstate '76.

Welcome to the latest episode of Crystal Core Radio Podcast with your hosts, Brian and Chris. This week, we delve into the ever-evolving world of MMORPGs in 2025, focusing on major developments and upcoming trends that could reshape the genre. The episode kicks off with a deep dive into World of Warcraft's ambitious new player housing system. We explore how Blizzard aims to redefine housing in MMORPGs by leveraging advanced technology, addressing past challenges, and what it could mean for the future of WoW and its community. We also compare it with Final Fantasy XIV's housing system, highlighting potential strengths and drawbacks. Our hosts also reflect on the current state of MMORPGs as we discuss the shifting landscape with players moving away from games-as-service models back to more traditional MMORPG experiences. We examine how these changes could influence player engagement and community dynamics. We give special shoutouts to our live chat members—Edwin, Chemistral, Black and White Duo, and Postum—for their participation in the pre-show chat, enriching our discussion with live insights. In addition, the conversation touches on broader gaming topics, including the potential remakes of iconic titles like Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy Tactics, the challenges of content pacing, and how to balance new player experiences with veteran engagement in today's gaming ecosystem. Finally, delve into personal gaming experiences, as our hosts share thoughts on taking breaks, exploring new games, and finding the right balance in gaming lifestyles.

This has been an exciting week in Sacred Symbols World. We're riding high off of our two hour interview with ex-Sony executive Shuhei Yoshida, and we're eager to reminisce and reflect on it. (You can watch or listen for yourself on Sacred Symbols+.) But as far as news is concerned? Well, this week is a little slower than most, which is why we packed extra listener inquiries into the show, and still covered what was there: Fresh rumors of a Tony Hawk 3+4 Remastered Collection, leaker updates concerning Square Enix's remakes of Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy Tactics, clarity on HBO's seasonal plans with The Last of Us, the potential emergence of a major Rainbow Six Siege update, and much more. As usual, we then round things out with listener inquiries on a variety of subjects. What are our thoughts about the recent layoffs on the Marvel Rivals team? Does SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku run the risk of overexposing the Yakuza/Like A Dragon franchise? Why are many creators so eager to politically and socially alienate their audiences? Is Colin on the verge of converting to Islam? Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.

To enter Season 6's final episode is to bid goodbye to the light of day. If you accept, we're referencing other Final Fantasies games in bullshit missions, letting someone else explore Midlight's Deep, slaying the hell magician, fighting in fart gas, destroying more jobbers, bending knees to demons, trying to kickstart Virgo, wanting for blood, identifying the universal pervert endgame, sealing off the pervert portal, marveling at the airship graveyard, wearing thong for the ultimate battle, winning the game, gathering at a grave, and remaining pure of heart at the end.

You know nothing, Beowulf. You know we're inventing additional antagonists for unnecessary sidequests, re-dragoning someone for a kidnapping plot, walking into an obvious trap, treating with steel, literally casting doubt, stealing a lady back from a pervert priest, debating belief vs fornication, nervously crafting a birthday scheme, overdoing the poop metaphors, costing a goodly amount, looking odd, unlocking the secrets of giant books, leaving behind ignorance, and casting open the very gates of hell. There is no turning back now. 00:00 Intro | 03:25 Lionel's New Liege Lord | 10:35 Lionel Castle Gate | 14:14 Lionel Castle Oratory | 23:08 Agrias' Birthday | 29:46 Orbonne Monastery Vaults, 4th Level | 32:51 Monastery Vaults, 5th Level | 36:49 Necrohol | 40:36 Real Net | 43:51 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Twitter: @retroamnesiapod YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com  

Lives and levels, or men and boards? How about pods and casts, featuring us dropping in on perverts, murdering clergy members, slingin' blood off a sword, remaining lawful, observing an indoor turd river, picking up a book, exposing craven cowards, returning to the father, serving death by steel, reborning a brother, re-killing a brother, pumping a dying guy for information, refusing to join a princess party, slipping a secret knife, taking what's due, and returning to where it all started: robbing poor people. We'll serve our vengeance another day. 00:00 Warcraft 3 | 02:41 Intro | 04:20 Mullonde Massacre | 12:43 Mullonde Cathedral | 15:38 Mullonde Cathedral Nave | 26:46 Mullonde Cathedral Sanctuary | 33:34 Mullonde Temple | 36:26 Disorder In The Order | 44:50 Disorder In The Order Part II | 52:23 Real Net | 01:00:50 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Twitter: @retroamnesiapod YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com  

Here's a souvenir for you on the way to hell. It's a podcast, one in which we're appreciating sprite animation, frustrating the high confessor's plot, working to see queens made for true, pretending to leave the room, rendezvousing with perverts, resisting every scenario, screaming in the dark, naming that mushroom, adding a Cletienne scene, going to the gods, exceeding our feeble capacities, creating the circle of trust, passing strange, jumping in a brother-based triple threat match, and using mimes for both benefit and determinant. Do you see anyone alone who is saddened? 00:00 Apple Bastards | 01:28 Intro | 03:38 Zeltennia Castle Throwdown | 23:26 Beoulve Royal Cemetery | 30:49 My Darling Cletienne | 36:52 Chris Tasks | 40:34 Eagrose Castle Showdown | 59:30 Master Math | 01:00:10 Real Net 01:04:04 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Twitter: @retroamnesiapod YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com  

What devilry is this? It's a podcast, once in which we're wading in rebirth, boasting the brain of a dullard, fighting an old foe who died but didn't, indulging in gratuity, interrupting pervert preparation, hanging a bag of teeth, refusing to acknowledge death, unpossessing numen, thinking of our sire's flesh, becoming a blood member of darkness, wondering if stones can pervert perverts, and recruiting someone to kill their father. Ere long you shall know darkness deeper still. 00:00 Rebirth | 04:09 Intro | 05:55 Return of the Gath | 19:19 Limberry Castle Undercroft | 36:18 Undercroft, Post Zalera | 43:52 Real Net | 49:01 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Twitter: @retroamnesiapod YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com  

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we conclude our series on Heroes of Might and Magic. We confess that we should have learned more about this game before we tried it, and then turn to takeaways and email. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary.

The stone chooses the flesh. You have chosen to listen to us as we're wondering why Aerith needs money, laughing like Kefka, not agreeing with arbitration, spilling blood on fancy riggins, looking for a good drubbing, refusing to argue with ghosts, killing dead people again, crushing grapes, leaving a fearsome stain, playing dumb and dumber about mossfungus, listening in secret, sensing perversion, exploring the necrohol, reserving questions for the victor, distinguishing between vampire and pervert, and coming back to life because you have good hair.

Let's away before we're found. But first, listen while we're ignoring height, raising a sluice gate, breaking Orlandeau out of the break room at work, questioning Valmafra's allegiance, finding the one competent person who likes us, suffering a plague of fools, perverting an idiot, flashing that, gandering a goose, murdering a willing zealot, buying a flower, speaking to a robot, commanding that robot to kill, killing a different robot, turning a dragon into a lady, applying father's mercy, coming from other space, and importing another protagonist.

Now there is a podcast I had not thought to find in these wastes! Bathe with us in the muck as we're learning from Matsuno why Orators get guns, possessing powerful evidence of the church's misdeeds, staying two steps ahead, acting as expected, dropping spores in the wind, respecting the constitution, only understanding transactional relationships, excusing Orlandeau from villainous plotting, picking the same wall, resisting the poison, double-gripping the stabby knife, hacking blood up all over ourselves, and merging the templars with the perverts. It was 27 years ago and I don't remember the details. 00:00 Season 7 Winner | 01:43 Intro | 03:24 Paging Matsuno | 04:53 Outlying Church | 13:25 Beddha Sandwaste | 26:16 Conspirators Conspiring | 37:48 Fort Besselat | 40:16 Dycedarg Dices Larg | 50:31 Real Net | 53:21 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Twitter: @retroamnesiapod YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com  

God is watching, have faith. God is also listening to us assuming the piss position, successfully whistling grass, gaslighting ourselves, flying in from Final Fantasy XII, pursuing beauty, acquiring heroes of myths and legends, ordering dairy from the liquor bar, caring not for coin, remembering Beowulf facts, befriending a dragon, wishing for the anti-pervert, quitting darkened halls, thinking as a free thinker, reframing Ovelia as sister-girlfriend, questioning our own motivations, and yearning to slay men of the cloth.

Zodiac stones read the metadata of your heart. You ears read the metadata of us narrowing seven to four, making our name shit, waiting for a new dawn, using the auracite for good actually, false fighting the second pervert, citing heaven, campfire'ing next to corpses, killing jobbers off screen, simultaneously referencing U2 + Queen + Jefferson Airplane, ruining a good name, stripping new hires of their clothes, inflicting atheist effects, and radicalizing another bereaved sibling.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we start a new series on Heroes of Might and Magic. We set the game a little in its time, talk about the way the game creates a divergent path from other tactical turn-based combat games.

All such tales of gods and their miracles are false. But not us, and not when we're swearing on words that have no honor, realizing scripture is leverage, taking fate into mine own hands, listening to death noises, slaking thirst for revenge, selling out for the lord, perverting into another ghoul, unthinking brains, slaying another pervert, surveying the murder room, frowing up on myself, letting Isilud rest, sparking divinity from Alma, losing days' past, retching our innards, repaying debts with vengeance, throwing a guy off the roof, and killing one to achieve victory over three. You need a broad range of interests or you're going to become like that one guy. 00:00 Intro | 01:55 Riovanes Castle Gate | 08:07 Riovanes Castle Dungeon | 11:44 Riovanes Castle Keep | 22:23 New Pervert | 29:26 Riovanes Castle - Conference Room | 39:00 Riovanes Castle Roof | 45:37 Assassins | 52:08 Real Net | 57:14 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Twitter: @retroamnesiapod YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com  

The air is thick with death's foul stench. This episode is thick with sliming rockets, adding another cultural stereotype, invalidating past benevolence with modern action, resolving sibling arguments, allowing a heretic to triumph, opening the orphanage-to-assassins pipeline, becoming conduits of heaven and nether, speaking to a frog, becoming a knight in shining armor, slaying lingering souls, hiding fascism with austerity, assigning true power to the templar, gaslighting the church, slapping the shit out of my son, and eliminating sport from revenge murder. I'll not abide your ill-mannered tongue 00:00 Retrotink 4K 02:30 Intro 03:37 The Walled City of Yardrow 14:48 Yardrow Post-Battle 27:15 Zeltennia Castle Chapel Ruins 30:39 The Yuguewood 34:09 Riovanes Castle 51:38 Real Net 55:03 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Twitter: @retroamnesiapod YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com  

Apologies, we've been having issues with our feed, so this is why this is just now being posted. * This was originally recorded on 06/17/2024 *Just ahead of a looming Nintendo Direct comes this week's edition of Video Games 2 the MAX where Sean and Marc discuss some older games that may finally be coming out like Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster, A Quiet Place game, and the Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition. Also, would Astrobot be just as awesome without all of the PlayStation nostalgia? Todd Howard says he's in no rush with Fallout 5 and Starfield is getting more Story DLC and possibly even annually. Sadly there are also more studio closures, layoffs, and folks leaving studios as well.You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: https://youtube.com/live/8Zfrjaf0q9c- If you prefer podcasts: Listen and give us a review on these platforms... -Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ag/podcast/video-games-2-the-max/id886092740Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2wjd0u3xO7TdAm4gKRM44LAmazon: https://www.audible.com/pd/Video-Games-2-the-MAX-Podcast/B08JJPTZTWPodchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/video-games-2-the-max-181386Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/?podId=2465904IHeart Radio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/53-video-games-2-the-m-28438312/- Follow on X (Twitter): -Sean on Twitter (X): https://twitter.com/W2MSeanMarc on Twitter (X): https://twitter.com/HumanityPlagueW2M Network on Twitter (X): https://twitter.com/w2mnetwork- Other Social Media -Follow us on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@w2mnetwork2Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/aydMgvUN9dFollow us on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/w2mnetworkFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/w2mnetwork/Follow Us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/W2MNetwork

We are all but puppets, dancing as they pull our strings. You are all but listeners, frolicing as we're taking shelter from the rain, meeting with an outland mage, being honest about forbidden knowledge, refusing to be a puppet, wishing no more need of tears, excavating at the mines, delivering job reports, falling out of Mana Secrets, recruiting a juvenile game hunter, buying freedom with blood, slaughtering deserters, appearing on a handbill for heresy, justifying infinite war, adopting a son in law, and making our first real friend.

Only with power can dreams be made real. Only with this podcast can we tell you about wishing for the Auto-Face, persisting in a fool resistance, fighting in the book store, confusing opponents by betraying our class, normalizing the battle gauntlet, girding for battle, becoming a thrall of the church, jokerfying yet another would-be ally, living for this, wiping a brain after defilement, switching to demon dialect, biting from the fruit of the tree of knowledge, leaving things undone, and reading from the brain that was reading The Scriptures of Germonique.

What nonsense is this? Well, it's an audio variety show where we're playing Dycedarg's theme for a meeting with Zalbaag, wondering if Zalbaag is dumb, failing to avoid Alma, proving truth words, fighting a heresy examiner, perverting into the Lucavi, profaning the gods, cutting a deal with Alma, rumoring Elmdore's death, storing books underground, acquiring magic rocks to gain the people's trust, making Alma guard the base, wishing we were born a man, assigning the universal mong theory, and getting deep into subterranean book storage.

Mentally, are you becoming a coward? Vocally, we're entering a pope meeting, pronouncing “Orlandeau,” feeling lost in the sauce, using a prisoner's confession as an excuse to kill a guy, recognizing Orlandeau's prowess, showcasing multiple councils, haggling over war logistics, closing the borders, going against the big tide, performing the forbidden dance, preaching secular theories, believing in god so much we quit the war, rescuing a shuffler, obtaining a battle dict., and shakin' hands.

Think of us simply, as allies. Allies who are not touching our supper, expressing a shit head belief system, revealing a princess as false, laying out different scenarios, figuring out scenes were added to the PSP release, swearing vengeance to killers, granting Wiegraf a second act, finally 1v1'ing Gafgarrion, feeling cold, thrice damning Gafgarrion, making our purpose plain, showing up too late to save the princess, transforming into the taint king, excruciating in ecstasy, waving goodbye to our souls, and slaying the pervert.

Stop looking at girls, stop looking at rocks. Instead, look at us with your ears as we're warning Ramza off the criminal conspiracy, reading six books, wondering who pilled Delita, realizing the nobles and the clergy are united in corruption, sniffing out a fake, losing another princess, preferring Dragoon to Samurai, falling for a gallows-based switcheroo, expecting Ramza to prodigal son his way home, painting deeds as foul, appreciating Gaffgarion's persona, literally saying “game of thrones,” and denying a solution to the trolley problem.

Those who live by deceit are the first to die by it. Those who listen to this episode will hear tales of jumping in first-person, rescuing a pony-tailed squire, blinging the magic rocks, climbing walls and talking shit, bringing a gun to a wizard fight, realizing we're in Final Fantasy XII's future, losing patience with Mustadio, finding Christ without a crucifixion, creepin' on some ladies, blowing grass, wishing for no quarrel, leaving us wroth, soiling our names, coddling the boy, sipping villainously, and wondering if Agrias is lost in the sauce.

It's about time you learned about difference. The difference between battling under the threat of crimson snow, taking hostages, shooting the hostage, mongering flowers on a street corner, looking for a woke, losing ourselves to vengeance, flitting a forked tongue, igniting the gunpowder, debating the merits of new-fangled cut-scenes against old school cinematics, citing the contract for additional payment, realizing no one knows what Ramza wants, looking for the manipulator, and searching for the subservient. God knows where this path leads us. 00:00 Half Chris | 03:05 Intro | 04:50 Ziekden Fortress Showdown | 14:38 Ziekden Fortress Battle | 26:34 Animated Cut Scene | 30:48 Orbonne Monastery | 37:39 Rumors | 40:15 Real Net | 42:55 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Fighting is the only way out. Listening to this episode is the only way we can start listing Chris' top three tactics, aligning with Dycedarg, swallowing Dycedarg's shit, realizing the rich won't save the poor, criticizing common blood, speculating Argath is a radicalization agent, understanding a meager fate, realizing Milleuda is willing to die for this, watching Milleuda inflict psychic damage on Delita, deploying tricky smooth talk, kidnapping the wrong lady, thinking of the children, sending improper knights to kill someone, refusing to treat, defending bastard brothers, and wondering why all of this is happening. Never believe in never. 00:00 Intro | 05:00 Eagrose Castle | 07:40 Delita's Clenched Fist | 19:45 Animated Cut Scene | 23:59 Hot Gos | 25:37 Lenalian Plateau | 35:15 Fovoham Windflats Mill | 40:54 Fovoham Windflats Battle | 50:08 Windmill Whoopsies | 51:52 Real Net | 55:50 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Animals have no god. But they have us, and so do you, as we're correcting the marquis, nesting menus, rending equipment, interpreting the kindness of time, being false on another's behalf, once again realizing knights are cops, wasting strength and vitality, wondering if executing a scenario requires executing a god, demanding more than an apology, blowing up my clothes, supping on broth of bean, thinking beastly thoughts, doing it in the gutter, filling radicalization meters, and stealing one lady. God wants us to kill poor people. 00:00 Chris Run It | 02:22 Intro | 04:34 Big Dumb Idiot | 06:11 Inventory of Tactics | 13:03 Eagrose Castle | 24:36 Brigand's Den | 36:58 Post Battle | 41:55 Abduction at Eagrose | 45:54 Real Net | 49:41 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Welcome to the rat cellar. A beating has loosened our tongues, allowing us the chance of identifying the wrong song, speaking false to a knight, getting a guy muddy, discovering an actual Dune reference, endlessly reviving Ramza, employing an ineffective mage, configuring the proper Post Up, beating up prisoners, bearing a ribald tongue, filling different radicalization meters, wishing to end the aristocracy, pulling off one last job, arguing over the necessities of a rebel army, speaking our fill, and trading one life for another. You may yet keep your bacon. 00:00 Open World Paralysis | 02:47 Intro | 03:36 Dorter Slums | 08:52 Dorter Battle | 13:53 Slum House Interrogation | 26:11 Sand Rat's Sietch | 30:34 Wiegraf & Gustav's Disagreement | 36:36 Real Net | 41:44 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.
