While I'm a picky eater when it comes to JRPGs, I'll never forget my first - Final Fantasy IV (FF2 on the SNES). I recently played the Pixel Remaster version for the first time, so I wanted to give Cecil and friends another round of RTG.

I don't disagree with anyone that says Final Fantasy VI is the superior game, but IV isn't without its charm. I love the characters, betrayals, and combat system, and personally I like the linear party management of this one better to future entries where you can mix and match as you please. It's really wild to see how far JRPGs have come since Golbez's started robbing jewelry stores, and I think FF IV deserves its flowers for helping the series evolve from its basic NES counterparts.

Captain N of the Retrotopia podcast joins me this week and we both geeked out pretty hard over this game. A couple dungeons (Dark Elf) and characters (Spoony Bard) got under our skin, but at the end of the day I think we agree that this is a must-play for fans of the genre, and a great place for someone new to Final Fantasy to get their feet wet.

And before we argue with Tellah, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks what the next big trend in gaming is going to be? What Mario moment blew my mind the most as a kid? And where doI stand on silent protagonists in games?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Final Fantasy legends: Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy IX, and Final Fantasy X.
