Hey listen! A new episode is available. This week we invite our friend (and PAX West roommate) Jacob McCourt (@jacob.bsky.social) on the show to talk about Final Fantasty Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles!
Are you playing it? Let us know your thoughts!

I've played 30 hours of FINAL FANTASY TACTICS – The Ivalice Chronicles.
Despite having a couple of rough edges, I found myself enamoured with the job system and drawn in by the political intrigue of the story.
If you haven't played a game in the FF Tactics series, this is a great entry point.
We have another bonus episode out now!
@jacob.bsky.social has played 30 hours of FINAL FANTASY TACTICS - The Ivalice Chronicles and is here with @lukewarmlewis.bsky.social to go through his full thoughts!

"FINAL FANTASY TACTICS – The Ivalice Chronicles is a very solid SRPG with quality of life and presentational improvements over the PS1 and PSP versions of the game. These changes help modernize it for new audiences, but it isn’t without its quirks."

Everdeep Aurora review image
Everdeep Aurora is a charming, 16-bit-inspired exploration-based platformer with some nagging flaws that keep it from classic status.

I did NOT realize that Expelled! is like Overboard. Overboard is BRILLIANT.
Thanks for sharing Mike!
Finally wrote some words about Expelled!
"Expelled! is a fun whodunnit that is an excellent follow-up to Inkle’s 2021 narrative-focused title Overboard!"
