Gundam ZZ has a terrible first 13 episodes of just slapstick nonsense. But somehow it breaks the mid-series curse with a thought-provoking and empathetic second & third act narrative. Plus, with extremely few exceptions, unlike its predecessor, the characters in Double Zeta are actually likable.

Mythos: Final Fantasy XVI launches on 28th Feb. I was thinking about releasing another preview chapter. You interested?

Another playthrough of Final Fantasy XV completed. It remains unquestionably my favorite mainline title in the series. I’ve also been enjoying the commentary/lectures by @profnoctis.bsky.social alongside this run which have made it exceptionally more thought-provoking and enjoyable.

STAR WARS: FATE OF THE OLD REPUBLIC has just been announced at #TheGameAwards

Listening to your new episode @finalfantasypod.bsky.social (creating FFXVII) and I feel like you guys should play Octopath Travelers 0 when it releases in two weeks….cause it looks to be EXACTLY what you discussed

This is the best thing we’ve done since our interview with @mjgallagher.bsky.social and we hope you’ll all check it out.

And onwards to season 4! Another wonderful season of The Gilded Age.

Finished Zeta Gundam last night and it was kind of a disappointment. The story was darker but that doesn’t make it better, the antagonists all felt caricatured, eps. 20-32 felt like a blur of inconsequential events, and the concept of N-Types really exploded into something fantastical.

The Gilded Age remains a top tier series and I’m looking forward to another season in the future. Onwards to the finale next week!

Welcome to #FinalFantasy Tactics One of the greatest video games of all time and one of the best-written stories of the last 30 years in ANY medium, join us on our journey through this absolute classic!

Finally caught up to Doctor Who and I am going to sorely miss N’cuti Gatwa. He really shot up to top 3 Doctors and his stories were all amazing. All I need is to see his smile and my day automatically becomes fantastic.

Me, writing about Final Fantasy: “I must not mention Star Wars in ever chapter.” Also Me: “I have two endnotes about the OT (so far…) and mentioned Luke Skywalker right at the start of the chapter.”😭

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale ~ Borderlands 4 > Wedding > Final Fantasy Tactics > Digimon: Time Strangers That 30-day period is going to be the best of 2025 for me, without a doubt.

Final Fantasy Tactics (Creative Studio 3), out Sept 30th

WE WON!

Now that I’ve beaten the original FF VII for the first time, I can say it was a great experience and certainly elevated my opinion on Rebirth—frustrating mini-games notwithstanding. I did reassess my thoughts on IX though; the failure of Necron as a final boss aside, the game was incredible.

Finished Gundam Seed: Freedom this evening and I enjoy it. Contrived as some parts were, it felt like an interesting epilogue much like Endless Waltz. So, I had to update the list (and consolidate 00 to abyssmal). Still chugging through Zeta . . . thank god for Char.

Finished my rewatch of the 13th Doctor and it was overall brilliant. Jodie, Mandip, Tosin, Brandley, and John all had amazing chemistry together. Plus, the end with the gathering of past companions felt like a perfect bow for Jodie’s tenure as rhe Doctor.

Join Dwayne, Tosin & Andrew as we break down the penultimate episode of #TheLastOfUs Part 2, and, honestly, one of the best episodes in the series! Subscribe now on iTunes, Spotify, and everywhere! quarantinezone.buzzsprout.com

In Greek myth, Persephone is a goddess of springtime and closely associated with the blooming of flowers. However, she is also Queen of the Underworld, and the afterlife's most powerful female figure. Both these characteristics are reflected in Aerith during Final Fantasy VII.

“Dick move” is like Zeus’ signature attack😂

FFT Onion Knight inspired sketch:

Finishing up my Clone Wars rewatch and The Siege of Mandalore is simply unbeatable in overall storytelling and production. I think it’s safe to say that the series has three fantastic endings, given its history, but the S7 finale is among the best bit of Star Wars storytelling.

On this day one year ago, we launched HADES II in Early Access!!🌒🌕🌘 It's been incredibly exciting and eye-opening as we've worked to realize the potential so many of you see in our game. Thank you for all your feedback and patience as we get closer to the finish line!

Really gonna be hard to top this scene for me. Isabela Merced deserves all the nominations and accolades for her facial and emotional performance this episode. #TLOU

Amazing how so on point Andor is.

I’m thoroughly enjoying revisiting the story of #TheLastOfUs Part II, both the old and new additions. But it’s so hard to decide if I enjoy Isabela Merced or Catherine O’hara more. They both bring so much to the show, especially Gale’s inclusion to the narrative and character dynamics.

Watched Revenge of the Sith today for its 20th Anniversary re-release. I could recite the whole movie by heart but it is still fantastic to watch, especially on the big screen.

Final Fantasy fandom—this one's for you❗ 📣 I sat down with @mjgallagher.bsky.social, one of my favourite authors, for a deep dive into his writing, passion for mythology and upcoming projects. 📬 Read it in this week’s newsletter. Let's mosey! thevideogamelibrary.substack.com/p/the-video-...

Even knowing what was coming from playing the game, holy shit that episode of #TheLastofUs was phenomenal. Seriously, it was like the game was just a blueprint for this episode to release years later.

So, I’m listening to Unfinished Tales for the first time and I feel wrong for really enjoying the story of Aldarion and Erendis. Then again, the story that preceded it, the Children of Hurin, is not a happy tale.

Now that I’m mostly through my rewatch of the 13th Doctor, I think I know why people didn’t like these seasons. Most episodes are a subtle commentary of modern crises that also (sometimes) use historical figures. Some viewers found that as boring, preachy, or distracting from the “escape” of tv.

#DaredevilBornAgain had a fantastic finale. While I still had some reservations on the visual style of certain scenes throughout the season, I’m looking forward to seeing how this saga continues/ends in S2.

Poster art for the new video game STAR WARS: ZERO COMPANY. The new turn-based tactical combat game will be unveiled at Star Wars Celebration Japan.

This seems like a fantastic opportunity. Definitely gonna look into participating as a viewer.

My friends, if you backed the Kickstarter for my new book, Mythos: Final Fantasy XVI, I've just released a preview chapter for you to read/download. You can access it from the email in your inbox or via the 'Updates' section of the campaign page. Enjoy!

In honor of the 6th anniversary of Star Wars Celebration Chicago today, a reminder of this story… A young girl named Harley Ignacio delivered Death Star plans to every Leia she saw at Celebration. Harley left her final copy of Death Star plans at a memorial for Carrie Fisher 🥺

32 today

Beat Final Fantasy IX for the first time this evening and I enjoyed it more than anticipated (still not a fan of the aesthetic). Now I need to decide between restarting—and completing for once—Final Fantasy VII or Final Fantasy XIII . . .

This is why Star Wars is one of the quintessential modern myths. Everything said in this back cover is a perfect reflection of “then and now.” And even if that were not overtly true today, the emotions and stories and characters within resonate across generations and ages.

Love that we are getting more Ventress and Tales, but still dislike that the majority of Star Wars remains in Imperial Era between the end of ROTS and the Mandoverse

On May 4, return to a galaxy outside the law. See the trailer for Tales of the Underworld, arriving with six all-new Star Wars Original shorts only on Disney+.

While I agree with some criticisms over Digimon Adv. Tri. (Loss and Coexistence*), I think the negativity it gets is largely due to misunderstanding. After watched 02: The Beginning, the same criticisms of Tri—narrative unfulfillment and contrived storytelling—could be made once again.

I’m just finishing this game for the first time and it’s been a very fun ride. But if they announce a remake, I couldn’t handle it at the moment.

Thought this would interesting to list out, so here we are: • top 4 books • top 9 movies • top 16 shows • top 25 games

Split Fiction is an utterly phenomenal game with a fantastic narrative (and extremely relevant in 2025). I would be flabbergasted if it didn’t win several GOTY awards.

Okay, this is my newest very very favorite meme.
