| Final Fantasy Tactics | E20: Atheism is Only Temporary [Brevenia Free City] | 26 Aug 2024 | 00:55:29 | |
Zodiac stones read the metadata of your heart. You ears read the metadata of us narrowing seven to four, making our name shit, waiting for a new dawn, using the auracite for good actually, false fighting the second pervert, citing heaven, campfire'ing next to corpses, killing jobbers off screen, simultaneously referencing U2 + Queen + Jefferson Airplane, ruining a good name, stripping new hires of their clothes, inflicting atheist effects, and radicalizing another bereaved sibling. Power over spice is power over everything 00:00 Season 7 | 04:41 Intro | 08:35 Riovanes Castle Aftermath | 18:19 Riovanes Castle Foyer | 24:07 Zeltennia Castle | 29:04 Fiddlin' | 37:08 Dugeura Pass | 39:05 The Free City of Bervenia | 49:19 Real Net | 51:53 Outro

| Final Fantasy Tactics | E19: Perverts Can Never Die [Riovanes Castle] | 19 Aug 2024 | 01:02:15 | |
All such tales of gods and their miracles are false. But not us, and not when we're swearing on words that have no honor, realizing scripture is leverage, taking fate into mine own hands, listening to death noises, slaking thirst for revenge, selling out for the lord, perverting into another ghoul, unthinking brains, slaying another pervert, surveying the murder room, frowing up on myself, letting Isilud rest, sparking divinity from Alma, losing days' past, retching our innards, repaying debts with vengeance, throwing a guy off the roof, and killing one to achieve victory over three. You need a broad range of interests or you're going to become like that one guy. 00:00 Intro | 01:55 Riovanes Castle Gate | 08:07 Riovanes Castle Dungeon | 11:44 Riovanes Castle Keep | 22:23 New Pervert | 29:26 Riovanes Castle - Conference Room | 39:00 Riovanes Castle Roof | 45:37 Assassins | 52:08 Real Net | 57:14 Outro

| Final Fantasy Tactics | E10: The Most Religious Man Available [Zaland Fort City] | 17 Jun 2024 | 01:05:37 | |
Those who live by deceit are the first to die by it. Those who listen to this episode will hear tales of jumping in first-person, rescuing a pony-tailed squire, blinging the magic rocks, climbing walls and talking shit, bringing a gun to a wizard fight, realizing we're in Final Fantasy XII's future, losing patience with Mustadio, finding Christ without a crucifixion, creepin' on some ladies, blowing grass, wishing for no quarrel, leaving us wroth, soiling our names, coddling the boy, sipping villainously, and wondering if Agrias is lost in the sauce. Ramza's brain is discolored. 00:00 El Fira | 02:55 Intro | 03:58 Castle City Zaland | 13:46 Dank Room Meeting | 24:07 Propositions | 25:50 Ovelia's Worries | 34:00 Battle Notes | 41:25 Balias Tor | 44:56 Eagrose Castle Solar | 54:26 Real Net | 01:01:35 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Suikoden E20: Fury, Chaos, and Anger [Northern Checkpoint & Moravia Castle] | 10 Oct 2022 | 01:05:32 | |
I dislike myself intensely when I am fighting. As we experience classic RP Games, we're being infiltrated by a spy, realizing it's not just a drill, rejecting breakfast and surrender, failing an execution, contriving subterfuge, applying a ruse, invading a castle, resting on a guy, busting our boys out of jail, auto-joining man servants, calling upon the city states of Jowston, forcing Kasim into non-violence, utilizing a narcissist, citing Don Quixote's influence, and telling Mathiu his ideas are impossible. I don't mind, but do you really trust me? 00:00 Gun Circle | 02:33 Intro | 05:09 The Mathiu Trust Initiative | 09:10 Maneuvers Site | 10:25 Griffith's Folly | 15:50 Mathiu's Feint | 18:32 The Chewbacca Plan | 21:12 Moravia Castle | 29:31 Kasim Hazil | 40:58 Vincent de Boule | 46:49 Maximillian | 51:54 Mathiu's Boat Plan | 54:46 Real Net | 01:00:29 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Suikoden E19: Another Ted Talk [Seek Valley] | 03 Oct 2022 | 00:59:49 | |
We've had a rough time getting here, and we're taking this stuff. Before that caper, we're romanticizing a studio apartment, wondering if sleeping poison is really poison, foreshadowing the third ingredient, locating the final blacksmith, shattering sentient crystals, obtaining moonlight weed, sorting through another Ted dilemma, fading from existence, picking a big flower, encountering a sober emperor, excommunicating from dragon club, wishing Krin was dead, and deciding exactly one rich guy is honorable. I never thought I'd run into a flower thief on a sleepless night. 00:00 Intro | 03:34 The Joshua Negotiation | 11:46 Seek Valley | 17:41 Ted & Windy | 25:55 Dragon Knight's Fortress Regroup | 27:07 Futch's Big Adventure | 31:21 Futch Fallout | 38:45 Krin & Kasumi | 40:24 Taggart | 44:18 Mace | 47:16 Real Net | 52:26 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Suikoden E18: Cock and Bull Schemes [Dragon's Den] | 26 Sep 2022 | 01:02:29 | |
Wishy washy, aren't we? As our glorious island fortress levels up for the final time, we're moving Kimberly in with Tai-Ho, pondering the beef between Mathiu and Leon, explaining Plate Armor, befriending a centenarian cultist, lucking out with Clive's spawn, suffering a denial of service at the Dragon's Den, paying for a dine & dash, sneaking into a cave, discovering the secret of sleeping dragons, obliterating our very presence, and poaching everyone cool at the Dragon Knight's Fortress. There's still time to do the right thing. 00:00 Intro | 06:10 Tropical Bath | 07:49 Convening the War Council | 11:41 Leon Silverburg | 16:40 Pesmerga | 21:43 Crowley | 24:23 Clive | 29:07 Dragon's Den Entrance | 31:19 Antei Antics | 35:57 Return to Dragon's Den | 39:21 Dragon Cave | 43:07 Dragon Knight's Fortress | 51:21 Real Net | 55:53 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Suikoden E17: Lord of Necks [Neclord's Castle] | 19 Sep 2022 | 01:06:44 | |
What's wrong? Is there something on my face? After the talking sword sends us to the past, we're meeting Ted in boy form, damning the damned, charing a village, encountering the enigmatic Yuber, cursing Ted with a sorrowful fate, accepting the Star Dragon Sword, recruiting a librarian, reading Old Books in front of a simulated live audience, impressing recruits with our recruits, installing Window in our castle, observing vampire invitation rules, naming a sword to join a party, dramatically playing an organ, cutting off a head, and finally making a woman happy. May the birth of this new warrior be celebrated by all. 00:00 Ranking of the Virtuas | 01:58 Intro | 03:55 Village of the Hidden Rune | 08:44 It's Windy Here | 16:47 Bye Ted | 20:37 Talking Sword | 22:15 Return to Qlon | 24:20 Chris Reads All The Old Books | 31:18 Recruiting Trail | 36:14 Return to Warrior's Village | 40:20 Neclord's Castle | 46:20 Inside Neclord's Castle | 54:11 Vampire Slain | 59:12 Real Net | 01:03:13 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Suikoden E16: All My Homies Call Me Starmaster [Warrior's Village & Qlon Temple] | 12 Sep 2022 | 01:06:19 | |
We've killed our father. In our slightly-related quest to united rebel factions, we're tripping over fresh graves, investing in a murderer and executioner, dismissing a bloodsucking vampire lord as a rumor, hearing the word NECLORD, finally recruiting Marco, stacking blacksmiths, faking out a lore flashback, testing exactly one gender norm, losing a fight to a vampire, failing to express warrior-sanctioned masculinity, requiring yet another magic weapon, finding Zen and Morgan at a temple, and insulting a talking sword. We are destined to gather together under Master Tir's sign. 00:00 Intro | 03:43 Who Are We Fighting Next | 06:13 Lorimar Fortress | 12:58 Warrior's Village | 24:55 Zorak's Cabin | 32:08 Neclord Takes His Bride | 38:08 Vampire Hunters | 40:28 Qlon Temple | 46:26 Fuiken | 50:54 Cave of the Past | 53:45 Real Net | 58:41 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Suikoden E15: Machiavellian as Shit [Battle with Teo, Part II] | 05 Sep 2022 | 00:59:06 | |
Our father is a loser but we're still not winners. Before the rematch, we're wondering how many spears are on fire, entering a town that's a dungeon, finding trust in eyes, stopping the thieving dipshit network from harassing a tall lady, paying a freelance ninja, required boats for land transport, shaking Kun To down for those boats, burning down armored cavalry, battling father against son, denying decapitation, bludgeoning our father who will soon art in heaven, and receiving hell powers. What do you plan to leave in the wake of your battle? 00:00 Crisis of Chris | 02:52 Intro | 04:22 Beating Up Your Dad: Ethical Considerations | 05:58 Kalekka | 13:49 Secret Factory | 18:51 Inside Secret Factory | 24:56 Return to Kirov | 34:15 Toran Castle | 35:54 Major Battle: Battle With Teo | 37:71 Teo Aftermath | 43:06 Teo McDohl vs Tir McDohl | 44:06 Teo Regrets Nothing | 51:15 Real Net | 53:58 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Suikoden E14: Dad is The Ultimate Enemy [Battle with Teo, Part I] | 29 Aug 2022 | 01:01:19 | |
You must not die here, don't waste the life Gremio gave you. As we determine the logistics of the Soul Eater, we're receiving intel from Kasumi Ninja, mulling over the ethics of fighting our fathers, falling fast to armored cavalry, letting Pahn take one for the team, beating up our buddy's dad, hearing there are 27 True Runes, napping some inspiration, dredging up the Fire Spear idea, recruiting more children, observing open raw sewage, trading items around to do the laundry, becoming an idler, playing a fucked matching game, and sipping some stew to impress another chef. Now that I know these things, I cannot let them go. 00:00 S4 Bonus Content Outline |02:00 Intro | 04:20 Soul Eater Housekeeping | 05:27 War Room Debrief | 10:14 Battle Teo's Army I | 14:29 Pahn vs Teo McDohl | 21:20 Dreaming of Leknaat | 24:56 War Room Plotting | 29:54 Recruiting Trail | 38:05 Kirov | 48:49 Real Net | 51:55 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Suikoden E13: All the Organic Matter [Soniere Prison & Scarleticia Castle] | 22 Aug 2022 | 01:25:53 | |
I'm prepared to die and I won't miss this world. While we try to beat the rapids, we're escalating neighborly beef, kickstarting the industrial revolution, hauling an engine across town, confessing our lack of purpose to raise our death flag, visiting a hermitage, throwing an isolationist in prison, recruiting a secret illiterate, forcing Flik to fill Kimbery's cup, using Bugs Bunny tactics on a scrivener, cranking an opal out of a Nightmare, breaking Liukan out of jail, finding the right time to die, recruiting some narcissists, acknowledging corruption beyond control, finding a human casio, and choosing practicality over vengeance. I'll see you in hell. 00:00 HEALTH's Radhan Fest | 02:05 Intro | 05:15 Old Men & Power Boats | 16:13 Rikon & Regrets | 19:35 Liukan's Hermitage | 27:20 Toran Castle | 28:52 Kimberly & Tesla | 39:37 Forging the Letter | 41:58 Soniere Prison | 48:21 Spores | 55:71 Pity Party | 59:08 Esmeralda | 01:00:49 Battle at Scarleticia Castle | 01:02:29 Scarleticia | 01:11:25 Real Net |01:14:26 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Final Fantasy Tactics | E9: The Taste of Lies [Zirekile Falls] | 10 Jun 2024 | 00:51:42 | |
The day grows lovelier by the hour. Just like us, as we're eavesdropping on a conspiracy, threatening a heretic brand, wonder which magic spell hurts the worst, rescuing a large bird from goblins, gouging eyes out, climaxing at a waterfall, realizing Gaffgarion's true nature, writing the scenario in real time, refusing to step over dead guys, understanding class warfare but choosing to not care, denying filth of money, reasoning with each other in front of a waterfall, and understanding the church to be…the church. Do you so enjoy the taste of lies? 00:00 Intro | 02:57 Dorter Trade City | 16:27 Araguay Woods | 22:51 Zeirchele Falls Preamble | 29:22 Zeirchele Falls Battle | 38:14 Animated Cut Scene | 42:26 Rumors | 43:13 Real Net | 48:46 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Suikoden E12: Classic Imperialism [Exploring Milich's Domain] | 15 Aug 2022 | 01:06:20 | |
All I'm interested in are boats. Before we brave the rapids, we're squaring off against some jabronis at Garan, murdering 3000 soliders with the Lepant family, refusing a recon mission, inhaling poisonous pollen, foreshadowing Gremio's doom, wondering if pharmacists were invented yet, locating a guy who can appraise anything, denying imperialist town reclassification, accessing the Blinking Mirror, not needing old men, dancing on stage with Mina, robbing Antei of its merchants, slaughting feral creatures for an urn, locating Lotte's cat that is also called Mina, and telling three pirates to get their fucking lives together. We're all over. 00:00 Intro | 04:31 Battle at Fortress of Garan | 08:19 Garan Debrief | 09:58 Battle at Scarleticia Castle | 11:55 Scarleticia Castle Debrief | 18:52 Rikon | 24:35 Teien | 34:53 Toran Castle 3.0 | 37:53 Scarleticia Castle | 38:52 Antei | 50:37 Jabba & Lotte | 54:09 Pirate Fortress | 01:01:25 Real Net | 01:04:15 Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Suikoden E11: The Hop Pissed [The New Liberation Army] | 08 Aug 2022 | 00:58:57 | |
We found our way here, to this mystery. As we pivot from military recruitment to cult assembly, we're playing Mark's voicemail, wondering if we've slaughtered Kuromimi's family members, separating choice from destiny, adding a bunch of elfes (elves), paying off a food debt, leaving children unattended in perpetuity, jumping ahead three months, butting heads with Flik, allowing the silent to speak, forcing animal friends to sleep outside, creating an alliance, naming a sword Odessa, and preparing to take on Garan. It'll be 30 bits per creature. 00:00 Happy Birthday Chris | 08:41 Pannu Yakuta Aftermath | 17:59 Kobold Village | 25:54 Lorelai | 27:21 Apple | 30:08 Toran Castle | 32:22 Flik's Back | 39:29 Toran Castle 2.0 | 42:52 Flik's In Kaku | 49:32 Garan Fortress Planning | 51:18 Real Net | 55:12 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Suikoden E10: The Power of the Science [Dwarf Vault & Pannu Yakuta] | 01 Aug 2022 | 01:07:34 | |
God? There is no god in these modern times. As we seek to shatter the Burning Mirror, we're discovering Kage is working both side's case, stealing a root to prove our worthiness, getting beat up because we're poor, solving an incredulous phone number puzzle, slaying Gigantis, commissioning a Firewind Cannon, delaying a proposal for dramatic effect, finally obtaining a map, idiotically submitting to a bounty, recruiting a talking dog, leaping into a full scale war, representing battlefield death with ascending angels, seeing the power of the science, resting with a lady, and surmounting the insurmountable. War is timing, and now is the time. 00:00 Intro | 04:50 Chief of the Dwarves | 08:19 Dwarf Vault | 15:56 Presenting the Water Root | 17:12 Elf Village Aftermath | 24:40 Kobold Village Confrontation | 33:22 Battle at Pannu Yakuta Castle | 45:20 Kwanda's Fortress | 50:56 Kwanda Rosman | 55:47 Kwanda's Fate | 01:01:31 Real Net | 01:04:31 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Ho ho, you smell like humans. After we roll this wet elf out of our bed, we're recruiting more children into the army, throwing dice for another degenerate, sacrificing morals for money, slaughtering Christmas trees, recruiting a teleporting amnesiac, meeting a talking dog, receiving racism, counting chicken hearts, getting locked up, busting out of jail, fondly recalling abandoned twitter handles, marveling at circular dwarven windows, appraising a piss boy, and inventing electricity. It looks like I blew it. 00:00 Intro | 05:19 Recruiting Trail | 15:56 Great Forest | 21:28 Kobold Village | 24:57 Village of the Elves | 34:09 Elf Elder | 37:24 Elf Jail | 47:41 Dwarf Trail | 53:21 Dwarf Village | 01:00:17 Real Net | 01:04:50 Outro

| Suikoden E8: Husband Lady [Lepant, Part II] | 18 Jul 2022 | 01:01:04 | |
Want to take a bath? You'll feel refreshed. While we refuse to discuss our trauma, we're escaping Lepant's fun house, stealing a named sword, refusing to get poisoned again, donning a skin cloak, threatening a man's wife, taking a man's life, dividing our will to kill, making a family fighting team, letting a cop in the squad, throwing a dinner party, dealing with a ninja assassin, storing our precious antiques in the hot tub, and finding a friend who swam here. You are no longer my wife. 00:00 Intro | 03:17 Wheel of Fortune | 06:25 Operation Lepant: Debrief | 12:18 Lepant Unleashed | 15:20 Kraze Showdown | 29:08 Pahn | 32:38 Toran Castle | 36:42 Banquet | 43:07 Toran Castle'n | 50:22 Elf | 54:46 Real Net | 57:43 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Suikoden E7: Hello, Fellow Thieves [Lepant, Part I] | 11 Jul 2022 | 01:05:16 | |
A liberating invention needs a liberated world. On the New Liberation Army's Founding Day, we're receiving a non-electronic tablet to coordinate destiny, starting a cult, being watched in our sleep, seeing stars, sleeping in the dirt chamber, uniting our recruitment efforts, installing an elevator in the castle, putting indie stores out of business, employing those we've made unemployable, hallucinating an elf, appraising question marks, stealing a sword to create a conversation, literally descending from the rafters, and smelling what Rock is vaulting. When the world is twisted, so are people's minds. 00:00 Intro | 03:08 Toran Castle Lore |05:05 Commander Tir |13:51 Stars of Destiny | 18:45 Toran Castle Exploration | 22:47 Recruiting in Kaku | 26:13 Recruiting in Kwaba | 28:13 Recruiting in Seka | 33:31 Recruiting in Garan | 36:32 Recruiting in Great Forest | 42:19 Operation Lepant | 48:00 Lepant Home Invasion | 55:54 Real Net | 59:14 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Suikoden E6: Soul Eating in Front of a Children [Seika & Toran Castle] | 04 Jul 2022 | 01:11:16 | |
This is the fixed version, we hope! Here we go then, too late for regrets. And too early for lining up great walls, declaring false identities, seizing the moment to fake a temper tantrum, blaming fate for problems, finding skilled professionals with no obvious means of employment, making Mathiu an offer he can refuse, confusing doctor with sensei, murdering soldiers in front of children, giving kids a year of homework, seeking a Headquarters, denying Camille's payment, throwing dice in a magic cup, scouring a haunted castle, and giving our castle a new name. That's what you get for acting big even when you're dead. 00:00 Intro | 03:20 Odessa Is Dead | 05:36 Kwaba Fortress | 14:07 World Mappin' | 18:25 Seika | 22:26 Mathiu's House | 41:20 Kaku | 44:46 Kaku Tavern | 50:01 Tai Ho | 54:40 Toren Castle | 01:03:18 Real Net | 01:08:58 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

While there we're investing in dad lore, finding Child Ted on the battlefield, plucking facts off The Cutting Room Floor, hiking up a snowy mountain, trusting a man with a bowl cut, remaining ignorant of bitter, drinking a beverage that is clearly poisoned, expressing discontent and doing something about it, poking around an isolated community, bonding with Odessa in the middle of the night, gaslighting the blueprint ninja, engaging in sexual innuendo, walking all the way back home, killing men in the sewer, and saying goodbye to a heroine. Throw my body in the river. 00:00 Intro | 04:51 Suikoden Pre-history | 12:50 Mt.

| Suikoden E4: Viktor Lays It Thicker [The Liberation Army] | 20 Jun 2022 | 01:03:36 | |
Everything's okay, make sure to hide your faces. Before we dry out, we're trusting the scoundrel Viktor with our lives, dining and dashing, shifting rows for better attack, sharpening weapons, attaching runes, daydreaming about murdering imperials, finding Odessa behind a clock, reaching the Time To Sewers, meeting our rebel conspirators, realizing we narc'd on comrades, censroing crucifixion, performing a casual arson, walking through a burning building and killing everyone inside, freeing/confusing Varkas and Sydonia, putting all of our faith in a Fire Spear blueprint for the secret factory.

| Suikoden E3: Did You Talk to the Graveyard? [Rockland & Mt. Seifu] | 13 Jun 2022 | 01:15:00 | |
Loneliness is a slow acting, but fatal, poison. Before we ingest the antidote we're taking a dragon to see a play, becoming tax collectors, watering the seeds of class warfare, cheating Marco out of a million bits, reading epitaphs, refusing to strike children, bullshitting a bullshitter, trapping the feds in ant holes, installing stairs in a mountain, fighting the unbeatable ant queen, performing some light colonialism, slaughtering bandits, murdering Imperial soldiers for the crime of child abuse, getting our bits stolen, using the Soul Eater, narcing on a friend, wandering for 300 years, and escaping through the kitchen. Never let your friends who like the cops go to walgreens. 00:00 Intro | 03:33 Return to Gregminster | 05:10 Kraze Debrief | 08:00 Tiny Characters Huge World | 11:21 Rockland | 23:13 Grady's House | 27:20 Mount Seifu | 32:39 Cave | 39:10 Varkas & Syndonia | 44:16 Return to Rockland | 47:04 Back to Gregminster | 51:53 Ted's Home | 01:05:08 Real Net | 01:09:48 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Final Fantasy Tactics | E8: The Father's Keeping [Fort Zeakden] | 03 Jun 2024 | 00:47:50 | |
It's about time you learned about difference. The difference between battling under the threat of crimson snow, taking hostages, shooting the hostage, mongering flowers on a street corner, looking for a woke, losing ourselves to vengeance, flitting a forked tongue, igniting the gunpowder, debating the merits of new-fangled cut-scenes against old school cinematics, citing the contract for additional payment, realizing no one knows what Ramza wants, looking for the manipulator, and searching for the subservient. God knows where this path leads us. 00:00 Half Chris | 03:05 Intro | 04:50 Ziekden Fortress Showdown | 14:38 Ziekden Fortress Battle | 26:34 Animated Cut Scene | 30:48 Orbonne Monastery | 37:39 Rumors | 40:15 Real Net | 42:55 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Suikoden E2: Ouroboros of Young Masters [Gregminster & Magician's Island] | 06 Jun 2022 | 01:13:42 | |
Both magic sisters think I'm hot. While we admire ourselves in the floor, we're losing our father to a border crisis, reporting to a Krazy boss, hiring a magician who looks like my wife, auto-walking home, playing a real guitar, defining a Gremio, rifling through Milich's clothing, questioning the reality of Ted, keeping a food journal, dreaming in black and white, leaping in the elephant dragon's basket, fighting forest monsters, obtaining the emperor's astrology report, and opening the invitation to destiny. You must decide what is right, understand? 00:00 Intro | 02:47 Enter Tir McDohl | 06:10 Barbarossa's Court | 13:40 Royal Palace Exploration | 19:54 In My Father's House | 23:00 Exploring Gregminster | 33:23 Back In My Father's House | 46:23 Report To Kraze | 53:13 Magician's Island | 59:29 Leknaat | 01:04:06 Real Net | 01:11:20 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Suikoden E1: Please Tell Me The Answer [Introduction] | 30 May 2022 | 00:50:22 | |
In the first episode of our fourth season, we're talking when where and how Suikoden first released, basic pronunciation guidelines, how the hell to play Suikoden in 2022, finding inspiration in anime soccer, identifying hot sound smiths, reading a german magazine ad, digging up and then settling old scores, indulging in the instructions, watching the intro movie, and deciding what to name Tir McDohl. All of this has to happen so we can play Suikoden II in a few months. 00:00 Intro | 02:47 Release History | 05:59 Water Margin | 07:26 Development Team | 20:00 Promotional Media | 22:14 Contemporary Reception | 26:56 How We're Playing Suikoden | 32:49 Instruction Manual | 35:32 Suikoden Intro Screen | 40:42 Press Start | 44:53 Real Net | 47:00 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Final Fantasy VIII | E44: Is Love the Problem? [Epilogue] | 23 May 2022 | 01:19:23 | |
The only Squall permitted here is you. As we sort through computer generated cut scenes, we're trying to remember the power of friendship, completing the time loop, accepting sorceress power, talking to myself, wandering through the desert, collapsing in futility, finding our soulmate in the abyss, becoming a no winged angel, speaking without a voice, blowing feathers around, holding up wedding rings, staring at a headstone, shooting a home video, shoving hot dogs in the mouth hole, raising a finger in ambiguity, and finally watching our sad boy find his smile. Next week we begin season 4, featuring Suikoden and Suikoden II back 2 back. 01:20 Intro | 04:35 Post Battle Ethereal Chaos | 08:06 Matron's House | 17:00 CG Cut Scene | 39:27 Pre Post Credits | 45:03 Credits | 53:24 Final Fantasy VIII: Videogame | 59:40 Real Net | 01:05:45 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Face my wrath for seeking thy sealed power. As we kompress time, we're multiplying save points and sorceresses, stepping over dead SeeDs on the beach, fastening wings to a castle, sealing our powers away, evaporating a rainbow, deducing latin paintings, weighing everyone in our party, turning blood green, slaying a fallen GF, meeting up with Xu and the CC Club, obtaining Proof of Omega, listening to an incoherent villain speech, fighting my ring, slaying a legendary beast, and facing off against the final sorceress.

I have a lot to tell you, unless you don't want to hear it. In which case I'll understand. After we put a bullet in the head of Triple Triad, we're identifying the father of the son, ramming Lunatic Pandora, parking our dragon at the base, quitting our jobs to go drink, telling my boy we're not a posse, killing the unkillable friend, wandering away to get kidnapped, swapping in disc four, junctioning a person to another person, mugging our imperiled girlfriend, and falling through compressed time.

| Final Fantasy VIII | E41: Shounen Energy [The Plan to Defeat Ulitmecia] | 02 May 2022 | 01:03:51 | |
Man, you look way too serious. As the world ends, we're reaching max level, reading Selphie's Laguna webpage, breaking down the couch cars, meeting the President, being called a faerie, performing calisthenics at critical plot points, staying on a boat for ten years, flashing back to Laguna's rebellion, outwitting a sorceress, sending our problems to space, working too much to visit my dead wife, sending our body to the future, concocting a plan to visit the future in the past, believing in our friends' existence, and learning it's all about love, friendship, and courage.

| Final Fantasy VIII | E40: The Great Neoliberal Lie [Sorceress Memorial] | 25 Apr 2022 | 01:00:28 | |
The world's over, man. While continuing to neglect our witch girlfriend, we're throwing rocks in a lake, humming to summon a shadow, receiving awful clues, stealing a crop circle, getting Piet fired, scouring the world for unique NPC dialogue, exposing the public to Ultimecia, gathering materials for supreme violence, cutting Rinoa out of magic pipes, conceding Squall to Rinoa again, yearning to be a sorceress' knight, lying about forgetting, and sharing a romantic dream.

| Final Fantasy VIII | E39: More Headcanon [Deep Sea Research Center & Return to Shumi Village] | 18 Apr 2022 | 01:00:35 | |
We understand each other's thoughts and hearts. While ignoring Rinoa's imminent peril, we're wasting a day with Triple Triad, failing to move the Queen of Cards, sailing past 100 hours, playing Red Light Green Light, picking the hidden option, spelling blow wrong, brimming with passion, beating up the boiler room, battling Ultima Weapon, indulging in the ultimate GF, finishing Laguna's statue, diegetically playing an Irish jig, breaking up a Shumi spat, and being content with more morsels of NORG lore. It's our nature. There's no real reason.

| Final Fantasy VIII | E38: Absence of Space Dog [Ragnarok] | 11 Apr 2022 | 01:03:40 | |
I'm not your mom. In truth, I'm denying romantic impulses, killing and re-killing aliens, scanning my girlfriend, using a radio for the first time, resisting any attempt at creating intimacy, accepting a sorceress' fate, descending from Hyne, revealing the sorceress inside me, not doing shit about anything, repeatedly dying inside, flying with exuberance, and adding a mascot and sentient haunted trains as guardian forces. You've missed out on all the good things in life, you've missed out on so much. 01:08 Intro | 02:35 Enter Ragnarok | 06:55 Propagator | 13:37 Exploring Ragnarok | 22:07 Eyes On Me | 32:20 Separation | 38:06 Ragnarok Regroup | 46:58 We're Flying | 49:42 Selphie Diary Check In | 50:32 Jumbo Cactuar | 55:11 Doomtrain | 58:35 Real Net | 01:02:18 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Nobody ordered me to escape. Through the wineglass, we're using our girlfriend as our therapist, cashing out our cards, receiving a ghost punch, breeding monsters on the moon, crying those monsters onto the planet, putting on a space suit, meeting a panicky space gentleman, opening a space tomb, shoving a cowboy into a sunroof, finding out what happened at the end of disc two, riding a handlebar elevator, playing the worst minigame of all time, and finding a secret space spaceship in space.

Fighting is the only way out. Listening to this episode is the only way we can start listing Chris' top three tactics, aligning with Dycedarg, swallowing Dycedarg's shit, realizing the rich won't save the poor, criticizing common blood, speculating Argath is a radicalization agent, understanding a meager fate, realizing Milleuda is willing to die for this, watching Milleuda inflict psychic damage on Delita, deploying tricky smooth talk, kidnapping the wrong lady, thinking of the children, sending improper knights to kill someone, refusing to treat, defending bastard brothers, and wondering why all of this is happening.

This place sure is weird. Inside this swirling pastel Oz, we're smiling through the pain, performing unpaid labor, ensuring a moomba develops CTE, taking a gun to work, picking the weirdest guy as the leader of the #resistance, misunderstanding the meaning of "special lady," rescuing Ellone, relishing the presence of an adult, leaving Rinoa up for human experimentation to the guy we rescued Ellone from, using the healing station, and going to the mall.

It's like a swear jar, for meat. Inside the jar, we're waking up in the infirmary again, asking mom where the rest of her kids are, lying about why we want Ellone, listening to the legend of Hyne, denying responsibility of Rinoa, trading pornography for playing cards, stealing my girlfriend, talking to myself on the railroad tracks, loving only what I can't have, confessing to a body, adding mom to my party, running all over salty dinosaur bones, interacting with the glitch hole, and finding the magic city before we pass out. She's not dead, they just don't know what's wrong with her. 01:23 Intro | 02:50 Infirmary | 04:40 Matron's House | 07:25 White SeeD Ship | 13:52 Zone & Watts | 21:24 White SeeD Leader | 25:05 Balamb Garden | 28:04 Squall Abducts Rinoa | 32:34 Seaside Station | 38:38 Great Salt Lake | 45:14 Infiltrating Esthar | 49:30 Real Net | 52:39 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Surrender soul, lose brain. After that, we're wondering if it's over, staring at an unconscious person, falling into a cold coma, closing out the SeeD candidates, cleaning up after NORG, refusing to remove my sorceress clothes, hearing the ultimate goals of Ultimecia, punching a wall, zoning out during a work meeting, believing Ellone is on the White SeeD Ship, passing out near a bed, debasing ourselves for money, using a gunblade as a prop, looking for Ellone in the past, and limiting our time power.

Yes, we will kill mom. In this uniquely arranged hell we're acquiring more depression in Trabia, betting on the MogMogMoogle Team, building a god-blessed glove, preparing a cursed motivational speech, cruising past a deer, taking our buddy's ring, fighting to prove we belong, launching motorbikes, holding onto a cliffside for two hours, ignoring the previous problem, manipulating the boy of destiny, and reclaiming authority with a good-actually speech.

A ball rolls onto the court. Today, on the baller's field, we're determining why the sorceress is the sorceress, enshrining Selphie in the party, questioning the use of violence, showing growth through command, shooting a free throw, gaslighting the whole party, becoming children, camping at the beach, hogging sis, misdirecting affection, forcing love, losing memories, forgetting pain, reframing the assassination attempt, being visited by the faeries, and telling Rinoa to come with us.

I don't think I have time for this. For this reverse paradox we're identifying sucking pouch technology, wearing SeeD clothes, learning arcane animal capture rules from Chocoboy, blowing a ChocoWhis, scattering chicobos, losing cards, defining the concept of Home, meeting Selphie's Friend, developing whatever, reading about Ehrgeiz, drawing zombie from a graveyard, fixing a computer terminal, installing stuffed animal surveillance, and telling our deceased friends about a dream that came true. See you at the basketball court. 02:11 Intro | 04:36 Pandemona | 07:34 Gardening | 14:11 Chocobo Forests | 25:54 Balamb Revisited | 30:23 Trabia Garden | 36:41 Whatever Facts | 41:21 East Trabia | 44:15 Trabia Classroom | 46:10 West Trabia | 54:25 Real Net | 57:00 Outro Find us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroAM, on Twitter at @retroamnesiapod and through e-mail at podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com. | |||
| Final Fantasy VIII | E28: Big Bad Rascal Content [Visiting Winhill and Defending Balamb] | 31 Jan 2022 | 01:07:57 | |
You were just as attractive when you used to beat me up. On this instant anti-classic we're witnessing a cow abduction, mistaking chicabos for ghosts, speaking with a cat, locating table flowers, getting trucked by a chocobo, judging drop-outs, repairing dangerous roads, exchanging a vase for a rock, re-losing Georgie, saving a child from a train, lying to gain entry, manipulating dialogue boxes, stealing cards from children, dunking on Zell in his room, drawing Pandemona, and beating up or rival's friends. I'm looking for my feet. 02:03 Intro | 04:19 North Winhill Revisited | 15:36 South Winhill Revisited | 25:40 Timber Revisited | 29:36 Galbadia Area Revisited | 31:26 Occupied Balamb | 42:31 Big Bad Rascal Escape Plan | 44:41 Zell's Room | 48:03 Tracking Down The Captain | 53:49 Fujin + Raijin | 01:05:50 Real Net | 01:05:37 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Final Fantasy VIII | E27: Non-Traditional Looking Sentient Beings [Shumi Village] | 24 Jan 2022 | 00:57:17 | |
Specialist is surprised they let you in. Tonight we're going to an isolationist village, paying five G's for Ultima, going 323 meters underground just for fun, listening to diegetic Julia, reading at a bad time, finding a god damn Laguna statue, falling off another cliff, becoming what's in our hearts, working to earn anything, showing off my big open hand, punching an ass, and convincing Shumis to perform their talents. If you have come here, you must know Master Laguna. 02:07 Intro | 04:49 Winter Island | 09:04 Elevator | 10:39 Underground Outdoors | 13:31 Inn | 16:52 Artisan's House | 20:50 Workshop | 25:30 Elder's House | 32:20 Stone Quest | 42:01 Completing the Statue | 52:15 Real Net | 56:18 Outro Find us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroAM, on Twitter at @retroamnesiapod and through e-mail at podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com. | |||
| Final Fantasy Tactics | E6: Who Will Lick the Boots? [Thieves Fort] | 20 May 2024 | 00:55:41 | |
Animals have no god. But they have us, and so do you, as we're correcting the marquis, nesting menus, rending equipment, interpreting the kindness of time, being false on another's behalf, once again realizing knights are cops, wasting strength and vitality, wondering if executing a scenario requires executing a god, demanding more than an apology, blowing up my clothes, supping on broth of bean, thinking beastly thoughts, doing it in the gutter, filling radicalization meters, and stealing one lady. God wants us to kill poor people. 00:00 Chris Run It | 02:22 Intro | 04:34 Big Dumb Idiot | 06:11 Inventory of Tactics | 13:03 Eagrose Castle | 24:36 Brigand's Den | 36:58 Post Battle | 41:55 Abduction at Eagrose | 45:54 Real Net | 49:41 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| Final Fantasy VIII | E26: Nida is the New Bingo [Centra Ruins] | 17 Jan 2022 | 00:51:16 | |
Let's play for fun, from now on. This time we're becoming Commander, taking down Card Club cardsters, meeting the true CC King, piloting army school across the world map, surviving twenty minutes, observing an octahedral frame, appreciating lost art, drawing pain, placing eyes in concrete, putting numbers in magic fire, challenging a norse god, and slaughtering slow knife boys in order to summon their king. Those who defeat me will be granted august powers. 01:39 Intro | 02:36 Classroom Check-In | 07:42 Cid's Office | 10:48 CC Group Quest | 16:59 Big Dumbass School Boat | 21:47 Centra Ruins | 33:00 Odin | 40:20 Tonberry Genocide | 45:45 Real Net | 48:25 Outro Find us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroAM, on Twitter at @retroamnesiapod and through e-mail at podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com. | |||
| Final Fantasy VIII | E25: The Ballad of Wimbly Donner [Garden Festival] | 10 Jan 2022 | 01:01:13 | |
We must heal the trauma of war with music. On this one fourth of one hundred episode we're planning a show, arranging a score, selecting instruments, becoming the cowboy, watching Squall sleep, wearing our Sunday best, trapping our dick, absolutely fucking up the composition, sitting near porn, taking a swing at a date, saying anything to leave, confessing insecurities, crying in the rain, losing cards to a scrub, and wondering about NORG. Find your own Wimbly Donner. 01:33 Intro | 04:13 Concert Planning | 10:16 Tryouts | 14:29 Operation Irvine | 18:44 Selphie Blogs Vol 2 | 27:24 Surprising Squall | 35:15 Screwball Concert | 50:40 Bedroom Flashbacks | 51:24 Garden Check-Ins | 55:42 Real Net | 58:41 Outro Find us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroAM, on Twitter at @retroamnesiapod and through e-mail at podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com. | |||
| Final Fantasy VIII | E24: This MF (Master Fisherman) [Fisherman's Horizon, Part II] | 03 Jan 2022 | 01:01:27 | |
If you can drink every day, you must be in good health. This time we're visiting a sullen expatriate, apologizing to a pissy mayor, accepting we're beacons of violence, deducing cigarette etymology, watching diplomacy fail, calling for the Iron Clad, reuniting with our friends, feeling a feeling, stating the need for battles, resorting to both sides-ism, learning from a hologram, stopping Grease Monkey's harasser, planning a show, and naming a new leader of Garden. It is your destiny to lead the way in defeating the sorceress. 02:26 Intro | 03:53 Martine | 07:17 Dobe & Flo | 14:14 Galbadia's Invasion | 19:34 After Iron Clad | 27:43 Finishing Fisherman's Horizon | 33:21 Fisherman's Horizon Origins | 41:33 Triple Triad Tribulations | 42:50 Garden Festival Planning | 47:23 Cid's Office | 54:51 Bed Thoughts | 55:57 Real Net | 01:00:46 Outro Find us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroAM, on Twitter at @retroamnesiapod and through e-mail at podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com. | |||
