Do we know what time it will be on the eshop? My wife has owned a 3ds since just after launch waiting for this game and if I can have it installed when she wakes up I'll be the best husband ever.

Well I was going to offer an honest gentle poke at your lifestyle not being conducive to you finishing games and blah blah. In honor of James being verbally abused I decided to keep it crude. :D

The guy who made the whiny comment about James is wrong. He is funny, most of the times his energy level brings the rest of the crew up, and he is the right amount of chaos. When the discussion is getting to blah blah he derails it into absurdity and helps end it. The whole crew has their quirks. Just because James is one that annoys you doesn't make you right. Guillaume is a lacking confidence, Metts has a habit of being a know it all  and Jon well lets be honest Jon is old. :D The whole crew helps to balance out the character quirks of the others. I was worried when Greg left but you guys struck a great new balance. there is slightly less push into the fine print style discussions but now we have a great person with different taste that is fun and doesn't let the conversations go into technical blah blah as much any more. For real guys you are awesome. I moved to Hawaii 2 and a half years ago and when i was feeling like a lonely fucking lump this podcast held me up. You're like old friends. And I don't fucking know you at all. James is awesome the end.


PS still don't let him host. Chaos in human form shouldn't wield such power. haha

Greg your personality consisting partially of perfectionist and loving disgustingly hard challenges is something we all just benefited from. I didn't notice anything different.  Now for your next challenge edit some old episodes together to make James sound like he loves Pokemon mystery dungeon.

Finished Chrono Trigger 2 days ago and almost through my second play through. Take that admiral never finishes ****. haha I'm about to listen to the new episode on a car ride I sure hope you didn't beat it first. But I'm very sure I have nothing at all to worry about. But seriously it just took 3rd place in my favorite RPG of all time list and it might over take ff6 if it holds out with the level of fucking awesomeness it has had so far . It has been a long time since a game has made me want to play it over and over again.


I had been stuck at the part where you have to find the wings of time for about a year or so.... well I bought it when it came out played for a week and got stuck and just now went back.(I always feel like I'm cheating when I use a walkthrough.)


Thanks for not letting this game go it honestly sparked that special feeling I got the first time I played ff6/3. I hope the admiral gets the same enjoyment I have from it.


And as always this show is what it is because it is edited well. I can't even imagine the level of frustrations that are involved with editing this mess but thank you.

Is my IPhone stupid or are the chapter pictures and breaks missing from the last 2 episodes? If they just aren't being done anymore I’m formally complaining. The pictures make it more distracting on my crappy Monday mornings at work. The chapter breaks let me and my friend discuss the episode better and more clearly. And I already commented on ITunes that I love the editing and I consider this part of the editing process.
I still love the show keep it up.

I guess in the end my complaint isn’t that my characters fell behind. I’m used to that in ff games and other rpg’s but it is just how fast the characters were pushed out of the group. It was just a couple of battles where they weren’t getting the kills. Then they were useless before I even realized it. and there hits are only doing like 1 or 2 damage so it is very hard to get the enemies close enough to death without killing them to get things evened out. I’m going through the process but it is just frustrating. An easy fix would be low level allies should pull extra exp for killing high level enemies. That would help even it out faster or something. Which might be already in place but I haven’t noticed it. I notice the reverse is true where upgraded allies get less experience for killing low level enemies which kind of has the same effect with evening out but just a lot slower and indirectly.

Ok so after playing this for hours and hours now, I have my opinions locked in. this game has a lot of good things that are done just a little off to make them not good.
 My first example is the music. I really like the music a lot….. But during battles every time the screen changes it has to start the song over again. And the music that plays as you are moving the characters on the field has a very noticeable intro to the song. And you get to hear it every 30-60 seconds. It got to the point that I had to turn the music way down to not get frustrated. My second example of something just a little off that is a lot of fun in theory is the leveling system.
 The characters level pretty quickly and get promotions with a new picture for the character. They even hold new weapons when you buy them and equip them. So it keeps somewhat interesting to buy new weapons and promote characters. But when a character has fallen by the side lines in a couple of battles all of the sudden it is impossible to get them caught back up without totally screwing around the entire battle getting enemies to 1 hp and then moving that character in for the kill. This is annoying.
 I remember playing this as a kid and my turtle being one of my best people and this time he didn’t get to finish off the enemy in a couple battles and now he is a total suck fest. I’m going through the trouble of getting him kills just because I know how useful he can be.
 I love the big battles that make even the small leveling battles seam important. This is a lot different than games I played at the same time like ff6. Which you end up grinding forever and it never takes any brains. With these battles even the grinding feels somewhat difficult. The balancing is done very well in this game.
The characters are diverse and interesting. That cute little turtles attack is fucking adorable. All in all I like this game a lot.
It was a good game to play as a kid about the same time as ff6 and it is still a good game today. If you can get past the dialogue which has gotten better but still sucks pretty freaking bad.

I remember playing this game as a kid and have been waiting for it to come out on vc but I thought it was shinning force 3 so I’m glad this game was chosen. Because now I realize this game that has been out for a while is actually the one I’ve been waiting on.  I’m only about 1.5 hours in maybe a little more and I remember the appeal this game had so vividly now. I have some complaints right up front with it that my former kid self didn’t have. First the dialogue is so so so bad. They have just enough info in the statements to make it tolerable to care about the story line. Hopefully it gets a lot better further in but I’m not gonna hold my breath on that one. And my second complaint it why didn’t they give themselves enough room in the class or job description box to type out all of the job descriptions. It is just one of those things that by being over looked makes this game come across in the first 15 minutes as crap when it really isn’t….well not at least from what I remember.
