How are video games doing in 2024? Well, that buzzing noise you’re hearing is the screams of the damned, thousands upon thousands of jobs destroyed. It is bad out here, bro. We gotta talk about that first.

Then comes all the usual Final Fantasy news and stuff. President Square Enix had his annual letter. AI continues to be a thing. NTFs somehow continue to be a thing. But in better news: people are very horny about the new FFXIV expansion. People have discovered a lot about themselves with Female Hrothgars. And people are also very horny about new FFVII: Rebirth trailers.

This month’s FFWiki Podcast is hosted by BlueHighwind, SomeColorMage, and Technobliterator. Podcast music is “La Montana de los Caballos Jovenes” by XPRTNovice off the OC Remix Album Balance and Ruin, based on Mt. Koltz from FFVI.

BlueHighwind’s old computer died literally the very night he finished the November Podcast episode. So this is being done on new computer! Woo!! Technobliterator is in the UK on holiday, so does not have the best mic with him. Please forgive the rough and ready audio quality. SomeColorMage sounds beautiful, as always.

It is the end of 2023, so we discuss the huge glut of news that came by. There’s all that happened in The Game Awards. The Final Fantasy XVI DLC. The Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth theme song. The Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth Cait Sith stuff (who is Scottish, not Irish, in case some podcast hosts do not know the difference, not naming names). The Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth Red XIII Stuff.

And then we nominate our choices for Final Fantasy of the Year 2023. It’s a long two hour podcast. A lot happens.

Food. It is what you eat. You either eat it, or you die. Or you die very slowly. Or you die anyway from the food you eat. Either way, you’re always eating, you’re always digesting, and you’re always dying.

Final Fantasy is not really a series much interested in food, but it’s Thanksgiving season here in America so let’s talk Final Fantasy foods. Catuse has the Final Fantasy XIV cookbook and gives us a quick rundown of the recipes he’s tried and the ones he’s interested to show off.

It is not a huge month for Final Fantasy news. But we still have a show! There’s the new Viper class in Final Fantasy XIV’s upcoming expansion. Young Sephiroth is having adventures in Ever Crisis. And people thirst for Estinien.

Then we discuss the many horror elements that have appeared in Final Fantasy games, from the Train Graveyard to the jumpscares of FFXV. Does Hell House make for a good Halloween costume? Can a JRPG really be “scary”?

Most of the Wiki Staff was in Australia this month due to either A) living there, or B) going to the BIG WIKI WEDDING. Mazel Tov to Yuanchosaan and ScatheMote, now married.

Along the way, BlueHighwind stopped off in Tokyo to visit the Eorzea Cafe in Akihabara, a very strange experience with surprisingly good food.

Also it’s a huge month for Final Fantasy news. Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis was released on phones and is as disposable as you’d imagine. Then we had the next big trailer for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, now officially releasing in February 2024. There’s also discussions of the existential crisis for game developers, the big Taylor x Kelce bombshell news, and whether any rapper has surpassed Tupac.

This month’s FFWiki Podcast is hosted by BlueHighwind and SomeColorMage and Technobliterator with a special intro recorded by just everybody who has ever been on the show before (8bit, Yuan, Scathe, BH, SCM, and Catuse played by a fly).

Final Fantasy XVI Discussion Part 3, basically. SPOILERS ABOUND. BlueHighwind published his long review of the game and that sets the tone of the discussion. Some of us are very positive on the game, some are not. The discussion goes places such as “what do we want in a sequel?”, “why is Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom inferior/superior?”, and finally: “is Clive Jesus Christ?”

Big episode, Final Fantasy XVI is a month old. And we’re going full hard core SPOILERS!!! on this thing. Nothing is safe, all bets are off, and somebody on the podcast is unafraid to be very mean to this game where it fails. (Largely around women, why does FFXVI hate women?) We struggle to stay on-topic and even do the news because there’s so much FFXVI to cover.

We also have the big new upcoming expansion for Final Fantasy XIV, Dawntrail. Yoshi-P has been extremely busy, how does he sleep? The Warrior of Light has slicked his hair back and is on a tropical vacation to fantasy Latin America for tacos. We dream of Female Hrothgars.

Final Fantasy XVI has been out for a week! The game we’ve been discussing for basically as long as this podcast has had an RSS feed is here, is now real. We’ve played 20 hours roughly, or if you’re BH, you’ve only played 10.

However, this is a first-look, even if our opinions are mostly fully-formed at this point. **SPOILER WARNING** up to roughly the second time skip.

Many things are discussed including, the snack geometry of our protagonist. Who is the Donald and Goofy to Clive’s Sora. Whether any of the five of us have gotten a Game Over once in this game. And how much fun can gameplay be that it makes up for some of the most boring sidequests ever seen in the history of humanity.

Final Fantasy XVI releases in under a week, meaning that June will simply be too epic a month for just one episode. It’s a rare mid-month *BONUSODE*!! Where we discuss everything from FFVII Rebirth, FFVII Ever Crisis, Door Dash, and so much more. Techno wonders if Bugenhagen is really Red XIII’s grandpa. BlueHighwind ponders a Sephiroth-Cloud-Tifa tentacle polycule. SomeColorMage is legally able to take SE money to promote Foamstars.

Next time, it’s gonna be Final Fantasy XVI, I promise you. More Final Fantasy XVI than you mind can handle.

BlueHighwind is back, and is tired of talking about all the Final Fantasy XVI media cycling. So instead he brought on Yuanchosaan and ScatheMote, who have just recently played/replayed Final Fantasy XV. Remember that one? Noctis? Boy stuff? Turns out, there are other, more positive perspectives on that game. People do like that game for a reason.

Also, somehow medieval English history keeps coming up in the discussion. We don’t know what to do with that.
