More than the pillars of Cloud, Sephiroth, and Aerith, Final Fantasy 7 is filled to the brim with memorable moments, both big and small.

Final Fantasy 7 wasn't just a game release. It was the changing of an era. The moment when the franchise grew from fun games to media events. As a result, the marketing for FF7 reached unheard of levels for videogames at the time. And with the marketing came, unprecedented hype. On this episode of A Gamer Looks at 40, we share stories of what it was like to be knee deep in the late 90's media barrage and how this full court press shaped our perceptions of the game before we even hit the first loading screen. Eddie Varnell (@thatretrocode) of the Boss Rush Network (@BossRushNetwork)Greg Sewart of the Player One Podcast and Generation 16 (@sewart)Ian (@teacherblokeJames and JJ of RetroFits on YouTube (@FitsRetro) John Trenbeath (@crazyjohnt)Julian Titus (@julian_titus) of The Stage Select Podcast (@StageSelectPod)The Lets Play Princess (@TheLPPrincess) Mekel Kasanova (@MekelKasanova)Michael K Hughes (@KaidanXain) of the Capes and Junk Podcast (@GamesAndJunk)Mike Albertin of Games My Mom Found Podcast (@mom_found)@MustinRyan aka @GameswCoffeeSONG COVERSFlowers Blooming in the Church (Final Fantasy VII) | Classical Guitar Cover by John Oeth Guitar - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBnoqDVg_ToTifa's Theme (Final Fantasy VII) | Classical Guitar Cover by John Oeth Guitar - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulsS27OC5KQMy Website: agamerlooksat40.comMy Discord: https://discord.com/invite/SdaE4atGjCMy Twitter: @agamerlooksat40My TikTok: @agamerlooksat40My Facebook: facebook.com/agamerlooksat40My Insta: @agamerlooksat40My Patreon: patreon.com/agamerlooksat40My Email: agamerlooksat40@gmail.comMy Phone Number: Ehhhhh, not gonna happen. :-D  Support the show

Any discussion of Final Fantasy 6 would be incomplete without a thorough deep dive into the cast. From rakish rouges to magic infused generals to a loyal solider, the characters in FF 6 are as varied as they are intriguing. In this first part of our character exploration, we discuss Terra, Locke, Celes, and Cyan along with some general thoughts on the cast itself.STARRING (all handles from Twitter) Aiden Moher (@adribbleofink)Greg Sewart of the Player One Podcast and Generation 16 (@sewart)James and JJ of RetroFits on YouTube (@FitsRetro)Julian Titus (@julian_titus) of The Stage Select Podcast (@StageSelectPod)Mekel Kasanova (@MekelKasanova)@MustinRyan aka @GameswCoffeeRyan Lindsay of KISS 105.3 in Ottawa (@THERyanLindsay)Seth Sturgill (@twodollarhero) from @allnpodcast  Tim Knowles of The Leetist Trey of the NintenDomain Podcast (@Ninten_Domain) Yurik (@YurikArkady on TikTok) SONG COVERS'Forever Rachel' (FINAL FANTASY VI) | Classical Guitar Cover by John Oeth Guitar - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnOIuRSSPzsPhantom Forest & Phantom Train (Final Fantasy VI) | Classical Guitar Cover by John Oeth Guitar - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rj4fYb1yZLUMy Website: agamerlooksat40.comMy Discord: https://discord.com/invite/SdaE4atGjCMy Twitter: @agamerlooksat40My TikTok: @agamerlooksat40My Facebook: facebook.com/agamerlooksat40My Insta: @agamerlooksat40My Patreon: patreon.com/agamerlooksat40My Email: agamerlooksat40@gmail.comMy Phone Number: Ehhhhh, not gonna happen. :-D  Support the Show.

If you were to build a Mount Rushmore of Final Fantasy antagonists, Kefka Palazzo would have to be included.

Send us a Text Message.If Final Fantasy 6's World of Balance is an action movie of moving castles, flying airships and magical creatures, the World of Ruin is an anthology of indie character dramas. Focused more on finding the motivation to do right thing as opposed to the right thing itself, the back half of FF6 is a contemplative reflection of growth through tragedy.So, let's talk about it! On this week's episode, we discuss the major and minor moments of the World of Ruin and how they shaped our 16 bit experience.STARRING (all handles from Twitter) Aiden Moher (@adribbleofink)Greg Sewart of the Player One Podcast and Generation 16 (@sewart) James and JJ of RetroFits on YouTube (@FitsRetro)John Trenbeath (@crazyjohnt) Julian Titus (@julian_titus) of The Stage Select Podcast (@StageSelectPod)The Lets Play Princess (@TheLPPrincess) Mike aka MageORage on Twitch and YouTube (@mageorage) @MustinRyan aka @GameswCoffeeRyan Lindsay of KISS 105.3 in Ottawa (@THERyanLindsay)Seth Sturgill (@twodollarhero) from @allnpodcast  Trevor and Jeff of New Dad Gaming Podcast (@NewDadGaming) Yurik (@YurikArkady on TikTok) SONG COVERSFINAL FANTASY VI: 'Searching for Friends' | Classical Guitar | John Oeth by John Oeth Guitar - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDWYdnPphPsDancing Mad Tier 4 cover ( Final Fantasy 6 - Nobuo Uematsu) by Farouque Raja - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mey5J9dmLagMy Website: agamerlooksat40.comMy Discord: https://discord.com/invite/SdaE4atGjCMy Twitter: @agamerlooksat40My TikTok: @agamerlooksat40My Facebook: facebook.com/agamerlooksat40My Insta: @agamerlooksat40My Patreon: patreon.com/agamerlooksat40My Email: agamerlooksat40@gmail.comMy Phone Number: Ehhhhh, not gonna happen. :-D  Support the Show.

We once caught a fish this big! Randomly selected by the Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button, this gone fishin' simulator was developed by Expansive Worlds, part of the Avalanche Studios Group. Speaking of expanding the group, Tom and Chris have brought along CJ of Player One Podcast for this episode. As a game developer himself, CJ will bring along a unique perspective when it's time to discuss the details of everyone's first hour angling those simulated fish. With only minimal real world fishing experience between them, Tom and Chris are bound to learn a few things as they play. Will it be enough to get them hooked? Join our three hosts as they discuss the pros and cons of exploring the great outdoors while remaining comfortably indoors and discover if this title is a prize catch or one that should be tossed back!

While Final Fantasy was already a Japanese phenomenon, things here in the states were slower to gather steam. FF4 did well in stores, but nowhere near the numbers overseas. So, what to do with Final Fantasy 5? Release this complex, job heavy dungeon crawler to a market not ready for it or maybe soften the blow. Just a bit.That lighter game became Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest, a stripped down version of the Final Fantasy formula made accessible to everyone.

In the winter of 1991, Final Fantasy 2 stormed onto North American shores as an SNES launch title and was met with middling enthusiasm. US gamers were too busy stomping Goombas and driving hovercrafts  to worry about turn based combat and wandering in circles.But for those who took the plunge, they discovered not only a love for the series but a new genre to adore. Join myself and a host of  fans as we share our earliest recollections and memories of Final Fantasy 2 - I mean, 4.

While we were stomping Goombas and hunting ducks, Japanese gamers were embarking on epic NES adventures. When the missing Final Fantasy 2 and 3 were finally released to the West, fans were excited. Finally, we could try those missing 8-bit epics without downloading sketchy emulators and learning Japanese. While the reality never lived up to the hype, the NES sequels earned the respect of the community, even if they didn't quite live up to the loft standards of 1 and 4. On this edition of A Gamer Looks at 40, we explore this JRPG two-some and do some memory mining of our very own.STARRING (All handles from Twitter)Aiden Moher (@adribbleofink)Barry Carenza of Premium Edition Games (@HawkHellfire)@DancarnateGreg Sewart of the Player One Podcast and Generation 16 (@sewart) John Trenbeath (@crazyjohnt)Mekel Kasanova (@MekelKasanova) Mike of the Distorted Illuminations YouTube channel (@MadMonarch_DI) Moses aka @thewellredmage of the-pixels.com and Gamelogica on YouTubeNate McLellan (@natedoescomedy79 on TikTok)Ryan aka @GameswCoffeeSONG COVERSFINAL FANTASY II: 'Town' | Classical Guitar by John Oeth Guitar - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZwJ-Ap82FoFinal Fantasy II - Tower of the Magi (Harp Solo) by Harpsibored - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdMwNDcl1Bs My Website: agamerlooksat40.comMy Discord: https://discord.com/invite/SdaE4atGjCMy Twitter: @agamerlooksat40My TikTok: @agamerlooksat40My Facebook: facebook.com/agamerlooksat40My Insta: @agamerlooksat40My Patreon: patreon.com/agamerlooksat40My Email: agamerlooksat40@gmail.comMy Phone Number: Ehhhhh, not gonna happen. :-D  Support the show

When Final Fantasy hit North American shores in 1990, it sparked an RPG revolution in the West. Gamers like myself and many of my friends fell in love with the interesting mechanics, player expression, and overarching story.These days, Final Fantasy 1 feels like a relic of an era gone by. As a cultural artifact, it's significant but whether it's worth playing, even on the spiffy new re-masters, is under debate. But not on this podcast. Join over a dozen of my friends and fellow Final Fantasy fans and I as we discuss our first time playing the title, the mechanics, and the lasting legacy of a game that's more than worth visiting, even if it's for the first time. STARRING (all handles from Twitter)Aiden Moher (@adribbleofink)Barry Carenza of Premium Edition Games (@HawkHellfire)@DancarnateGreg Sewart of the Player One Podcast and Generation 16 (@sewart) J.R.
