Show Notes
We’re joined by post-gamer and friend of the show Austin Walker to talk about the latest and greatest in the long running Final Fantasy series. That’s right, it’s Clive time! Join us as we try to grapple with this large action RPG and talk mostly about its story and themes. Some mechanical talk, but this is very writing centric as an episode. Enjoy! Check out Austin’s podcasts Friends at the Table, A More Civilized Age, and Shelved by Genre! They’re all good! NOTE: This episode released a bit early, so maybe think about sending in Muv Luv emails if you’re hearing this week of release, okay?
