- Congrats Rachel!
Been following the pod for so long and I was sad the pod wasn’t active, but I’m happy you’re finding your way and decided to share with us! Loved listening to Rich, and we’ll be listening even if they aren’t there!
This is a fun podcast that feels like talking nerd stuff with ur friends
It’d be cool if you did FF1+2 dawn of souls next. Just to kinda juxtapose kh3 to the remake of ff1

Podcast Addict55 years agonull- The chocobros just send it
Love these guys. Good funny people with great detail with the FF series and sometimes Zelda :). The special episodes are also great. Love the rants and arguments. Check them out!!
Apple Podcasts5Dope_cheetahUnited States5 years ago - The Podcast of the Decade.
Final Fantasy is one of my absolute favorite games to play, and the concept of this show is exactly what I’ve been looking for in a podcast. I’ve tried for others in the past, but when I found these guys a couple weeks ago while at work, I was excited and yet intrigued by the name. They don’t just talk about Final Fantasy, but other game franchises I know and love dearly as well. I love how this is their way to stay friends after their depart into adult life in the world. I wish I had a friend l... more
Apple Podcasts5shane_thePainUnited States6 years ago - Solid
Really enjoy it most of the time however one pet peeve is how often the facts/details are flat out wrong when they try to remember what happened in a game or why it happened. Otherwise it’s great!
Apple Podcasts4BlackhalfoatUnited States6 years ago Stop calling Fran Freya....Lol. In all seriousness this show is really fun. They go deep into the FF games. I really like their discussions about FF12 and excited to go back and hear the previous episodes!
Podcast Addict56 years agocritchey886- Very Enjoyable
Found this podcast because I was in the mood to listen to some Final Fantasy 8 talk. Love the rapport between these guys. Will be sticking around and listening to their backlog. Good job and thanks!
Apple Podcasts5SowiejaUnited States7 years ago - Great FF Nostalgia
Long time listener, love the pod, keeps me entertained on long commutes and travels. Jakes word repetition gets grinding but in all honesty still makes a better FF pod than most out there. Hope you guys keep on doing this. Chrono trigger, ffxii, golden ah , and grandia II would be cool episodes
Apple Podcasts5o'HuoliUnited States7 years ago - Jake and Rich are hilarious
These two have great humor and overall chemistry together. Keep it up, I’m a fan now!
Apple Podcasts5Ryan MarineUnited States8 years ago - A Great Podcast
Being a veteran gamer myself I appreciate the #### and enjoy this podcast. I can listen to these guys all day and I have...to catch up. I do wish to hear your thoughts on the XIII Trilogy. My favorite podcast...PERIOD!
Apple Podcasts5King Emil WashUnited States8 years ago - Love the banter!
Man this podcast is so nostalgic for me. I was searching for an FF7 podcast on Stitcher and this came up. The chocobo holding a bottle of Jack obviously piqued my interest!
I love how you guys take the audience through each major scene and talk about how ridiculous certain things are. It's genius. Like how Red XIII is dancing in his sailor outfit but nobody says a word. I love those call-outs! So funny thinking about those moments and now seeing them in a new light.
I'm only five episodes in ... more
Apple Podcasts5loneswishUnited States9 years ago - Great show
I love the show, it's funny, entertaining, and overall a joy to listen to. Also, I'm pretty sure one of the guys is severely autistic so listening to this podcast makes you feel like you're supporting the disabled. I also enjoy the occasional interviews, even though the interviewees rarely show any enthusiasm for the games that are supposedly their favorites. Still, tons of fun.
A couple of constructive criticisms that I woud make are:
1. You guys seem to often forget or misremember parts the... more
Apple Podcasts5j-j-j-jrpgUnited States9 years ago - Love it.
This podcast really makes me want to show my nerdy side a little bit more and kinda encourages my ambitions to possibly invest into a game hardcore. Love, love, LOVE FF8!!!
Apple Podcasts5UnfoundwarriorUnited States9 years ago - Strong
Great job guys! Can't wait for you to do Tactics.
Apple Podcasts5ExoudusUnited States9 years ago - I really enjoyed it
I really enjoyed listening to the podcast, it was a lot of fun.
Playing the games and then hearing what they did differently or had to say about certain parts was really interesting and engaging, it helped me get more out of the experience.
They're not always great at the games or miss stuff or complain about difficulty but that helps show that they're just ordinary people playing the games and experiencing it all how we should the first time through, or the first time after a long break, though... more
