- Great
Fantastic podcast. Just one suggestion, organize the patreon Apple feed by seasons. It’s a nightmare trying to listen to one series straight through. Other than that, perfect!

I just finished the FFT season and I just had to say I appreciated the mention of “zeny from ragnarok online” . That was my GAME as a kid.. I was definitely addicted!
But I truly enjoy this pod, and I want to say thank you guys for your fun banter and humor during the gameplays. Your thorough analysis and critiques were fun treats I looked forward to after a long stressful day at my new teaching job !
Now I gotta go back and listen to your previous seasons..! Keep up the good work 👌🏾😊

This is a wonderful podcast that covers the best JRPG games and the hosts are great together and the humor is also cool. Also cool that you’re in Louisville Kentucky. I live across the river in New Albany. Great to hear local guys on a podcast :)
