A chapter by chapter, beat by beat analysis of classic Japanese Roleplaying Games (JRPG). We delve deep into the story, dialogue, game mechanics, music, influences, and themes. We've covered Xenogears, Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy VIII, Suikoden, Suikoden II, Xenosaga Episode I, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. Yes, we will kill god.
It’s a dead man's party. That’s what podcasts are called on Lunar, where we’re realizing no underclass exists in Meribia, understanding Mel only trusts beastmen with weapons, verifying interspecies erotica, debating ho ho ho vs bwa ha ha, fist fighting a Hero, slandering lawyers and accountants, cringing at crushing on Jessica, locking tighter than a tenement in South Central, leaving a dent in your skull, slipping on drool, becoming victimized, getting son’d by Mel, dealing with The Guild of Brett, pushing buttons to make bridges, slaying a dragon, and having no doubt that she is the one.

You kids are wack. And our hearts are content as we’re wondering if Mel took Meribia by force, placating the masses, lying to children, having a big dream, entering Dross negotiations, partying till we puke, knowing dragons are real, practicing swordsmanship, seeing our shoes under her bed, inventing meteorology, foreshadowing the necessity of magic, gender coding Luna to clean things, freaking out over a wig, and meeting a an ominous fortune teller.

Get up, stumblebut, we got jerkin’ off to do. Nope, sorry, wrong podcast. On this one we’re kink shaming a flying cat, valuing experiences over possessions, sleeping on a cot, marveling at the Meribian metropolis, questioning if turds are monsters or monsters are turds, wondering if Meribia is under mob rule, using a traveler’s cheque, role-playing with some kiddos, discovering a deliberate typo, citing inspiration from Playboy, and protecting every man’s right to be drunk and sexist.

What nonsense is this? Well, it’s an audio variety show where we’re playing Dycedarg’s theme for a meeting with Zalbaag, wondering if Zalbaag is dumb, failing to avoid Alma, proving truth words, fighting a heresy examiner, perverting into the Lucavi, profaning the gods, cutting a deal with Alma, rumoring Elmdore’s death, storing books underground, acquiring magic rocks to gain the people’s trust, making Alma guard the base, wishing we were born a man, assigning the universal mong theory, and getting deep into subterranean book storage. Your mother's common blood forever stains you common. 00:00 1000xRESIST | 02:14 Intro | 03:56 The Royal City of Lesalia | 12:20 Lesalia Castle Postern | 16:49 High Confessor Zalmour | 27:10 Lesalia Castle Postern Post Battle | 33:57 Rumors | 34:52 Orbonne Monastery Vaults, First Floor | 46:17 Monastery Vaults, Second Level | 50:57 Monastery Vaults, Third Level | 53:50 Real Net | 01:00:50 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Mentally, are you becoming a coward? Vocally, we’re entering a pope meeting, pronouncing “Orlandeau,” feeling lost in the sauce, using a prisoner’s confession as an excuse to kill a guy, recognizing Orlandeau’s prowess, showcasing multiple councils, haggling over war logistics, closing the borders, going against the big tide, performing the forbidden dance, preaching secular theories, believing in god so much we quit the war, rescuing a shuffler, obtaining a battle dict., and shakin’ hands. There can be no peaceful end to this. 00:00 V Rising | 03:11 Intro | 05:15 Zeltennia Castle Keep | 15:20 Arazlam’s Words | 16:34 Fort Besselat | 26:40 Job Classin’ | 39:12 Mining Town of Gollund | 45:44 Ramza & Orrin | 48:13 Real Net | 52:24 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Think of us simply, as allies. Allies who are not touching our supper, expressing a shit head belief system, revealing a princess as false, laying out different scenarios, figuring out scenes were added to the PSP release, swearing vengeance to killers, granting Wiegraf a second act, finally 1v1’ing Gafgarrion, feeling cold, thrice damning Gafgarrion, making our purpose plain, showing up too late to save the princess, transforming into the taint king, excruciating in ecstasy, waving goodbye to our souls, and slaying the pervert. Church is bad and they’ve got the magic. 00:00 Ren Faire | 02:27 Intro | 04:17 Lionel Castle Dank Cell | 18:05 Lenalian Plateau | 24:00 Gate of Lionel Castle | 30:47 Zeirchele Falls | 36:13 Lionel Castle Oratory | 44:09 Cúchulainn | 52:03 Real Net | 57:25 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Stop looking at girls, stop looking at rocks. Instead, look at us with your ears as we’re warning Ramza off the criminal conspiracy, reading six books, wondering who pilled Delita, realizing the nobles and the clergy are united in corruption, sniffing out a fake, losing another princess, preferring Dragoon to Samurai, falling for a gallows-based switcheroo, expecting Ramza to prodigal son his way home, painting deeds as foul, appreciating Gaffgarion’s persona, literally saying “game of thrones,” and denying a solution to the trolley problem.
