GameSpot Asia Beat Ep. 9: Active Time Babbling

On this week's episode, we talk about Final Fantasy and nothing but; at least after the 12 minute mark.

14 Comments

To celebrate the recent Final Fantasy 25th anniversary party that happened in Japan on September 1 and 2, we figured we should share our Final Fantasy memories to you avid listeners. While opinions on the Final Fantasy XIII saga are still divided, at least we can look back at a time when Square Enix (then called Squaresoft) could do no wrong with the legendary series that placed the "J" on the JRPG genre.

Yours truly geeks out with Robots Gone Bad's Aaron Yip and Mary-Anne Lee, and SGCafe's Sim Cheng Kai about draw systems, mental cases with giant swords, and Shinra allusions. On with the show (cue sound of field-to-battle transition).
