Episode 57 – Hooked on Final Fantasy

With Final Fantasy celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, we decided to ask the community about some of their favorite things about the Final Fantasy franchise. We read off some of their responses, talk about our own experiences, and reminisce about 30 years of Final Fantasy. In this week’s Lore segment, Seyrr discusses Azeyma the Warden.

 

Episode 56 – All the Interviews!

This week the Phoenix Down Radio cast talk about the numerous interviews released by the gaming media, including one from our very own Chille, who was ever so gracious in allowing us to submit a number of questions as well. To our surprise, Yoshida answered all of them! We go in-depth with the psu.com interview, talk briefly about a couple of other interviews released shortly after Paris Games Week, and are joined by FusionX from Gamer Escape to discuss his interview with Masayoshi Soken from the FFXIV Orchestral concert in Tokyo.

Moogle-Go-Round Radio Episode 39 – Extra Spoiled

The boys are back at it this week! Chille is absolutely wrecked after participating in Extra Life 2017 with the FFXIV Content Creators group, while Paul is extremely hyper. They discuss the 4.1 storyline, dungeon, and talk a bit about the recent world first and second clears of the Unending Coil of Bahamut (Ultimate)!

Episode 55 – No Stone Unturned

In this episode, we take the spoiler tag off the MSQ and talk all about the storyline and plot, including our opinions of the direction the writers seem to be taking with characters like Fordola and Yotsuyu. Seyrr opens the book on the lore of Ivalice by talking all about the Lucavi and their Zodiac Stones. We also talk about the upcoming Extra-Life Game Day Charity Stream, which is coming up on November 4th.

Moogle-Go-Round Radio Episode 38 – That’s what Yoshi said!

Paul and Chille talk just a bit about FFXIV this week, mainly due to the fact that Paul hasn’t been playing much lately. The majority of the conversation stems around random topics, including Paul’s broken gaming chair.

Episode 54 – The Eorzean Housing Crisis

This week, the PDR crew talks about patch 4.1, spoiler-free. The discussion topic shifts to one of the major issues in the game, the housing system, and how the lack of available houses and the inability to take part in one of the game’s biggest opportunities for creativity and individual expression has many players upset. Seyrr discusses the patron deity of crafters, Byregot, and we discover that Chille really loves when Luna does push-ups!

Moogle-Go-Round Radio Episode 37 – Sweet and Salty

In this week’s show, Paul and Chille talk about the upcoming patch 4.1. Paul is a bit saliferous as usual, but thankfully Chille is hopeful, even though he is a bit under the weather. Please enjoy!

Episode 53 – Give and Take

On this week’s episode, Klauss, Luna, Seyrr, and Chille discuss the news from Live Letter 39, which seemed to give more information about Patch 4.2 than it did 4.1, but we still try to talk about the upcoming content and changes expected in the newest patch. We discuss what people are doing to either keep entertained within FFXIV or to break the monotony caused by the current content drought. Seyrr’s lore segment goes over the Elementals of the Black Shroud, and we to figure out how Chille can be on so many podcasts in one day!

Paul and Chille are joined once again by Flattuss from Maelstrom Radio. The trio discuss the future of FFXIV, and throw around ideas on how they think the game could be improved.

Episode 52 – The Crucible v Ishgard

We start our third year of podcasting by bringing in the masterminds of FFXIV’s trash tabloid, The Crucible: SaferSephiroth and Brohamut. They talk to us about how they got their start, what its like to create their content, and things they’d like to do in the future. Things take a dark turn to Chille’s delight as Saferoth shares his passionate disdain for Estinien and Ishgard. Seyrr continues the lore of the Twelve as he discusses LLymlaen the Navigator.
