Re: Our next Final Fantasy podcast recording (16.2.19) - Issue 357: Final Fantasy VIII
Forgot to mention how much I like the soundtrack to this game. Partly for the aforementioned nostalgia reasons, but also because yer man Uematsu really delivers on the 'Twin Peaksy' jazz promise of parts of the FF7 soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjTw1Wcjzf8 and https://www.youtube.com/w...

Re: Our next Final Fantasy podcast recording: Final Fantasy VIII
I'm sure you'll get to it eventually, but the popular "Squall Is Dead" hypothesis really plays into just how odd the game is - people have essentially pieced together their own meta-narrative to justify the ethereal nonsense of this game. The story makes more sense in the hands of specula...

Re: Our next-but-one podcast recording (6.1.19) - Issue 352: Virginia
I'm quite glad you're covering this one, as it'll give me an excuse to replay it and see how much I still agree with what I'm about to type: My initial disappointment with this game was down to the fact that I'd been really looking forward to it: both as a fan of more narrative-focused "walking...

Re: 349: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (Biohazard 7: Resident Evil)
My own experience with the Resi series was pretty minimal up to this point. When I played Resident Evil 7, I think the only one I'd actually played before that was Resident Evil 5 (once on my own, and again in co-op mode with an old housemate, who got sick of me constantly running up to doors and ye...

Re: Our next Final Fantasy podcast recording (14.12.18) - 350: Final Fantasy VII
Like a lot of people my age from the UK, FFVII was my first experience with the series. The small screenshot that would accompany it in the reviews list at the back of every Official PlayStation Magazine fascinated me for some reason I can't explain, and that's basically the only reason I got it (I ...

Re: 324: Resident Evil (2002) (Biohazard)
As a fairly big fan of horror games (especially many of the “classic survival horror” ilk), it’s kind of surprising how long it took me to actually play the first Resident Evil. Before I played the PS4 port this year, I wasn’t sure what my opinion would be – for all I’d heard about the creepy atmosp...

Re: The "Introduce yourself" thread
Hello! I've emailed into the show a few times before, and thought it'd probably be worth actually joining the forum. Also I thought of a username that was kind of amusing (Cheese & Onion Knight) and managed to rework it in such a way that it fit the character limit. All in all, it's been a great...
