Moogle-Go-Round Radio Episode 40 – Back to the BS

Paul and Chille are back! After taking an unplanned break (mainly due to Paul’s internet issues) your favorite British FFXIV podcasters are back and streaming again! Not much is happening in game, but that doesn’t stop these two from BS’ing and having a good time. Come listen, because you never know what will happen!

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 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!
