VGCTC - Final Fantasy X-2 - Part 8: Video Killed the Gameplay Star

In this episode, we cover all of chapter 4. There's a whole lot of video in this one and very little gameplay, but we do our best to power through the seeming filler and discuss our thoughts as we head into the last chapter and the resolution of all of this.

VGCTC - Final Fantasy X-2 - Part 7: The Plot Episode

This time around, we managed to finish up Chapter 3. There's a lot of plot to be had, and also Chris shows off his mastery of the Fiend Arena, one of the lesser-discussed aspects of the X-2 experience, and a much larger minigame than originally suspected.

VGCTC - Final Fantasy X-2 - Part 6: Speculation City

In this episode, we spend some time discussing the plot of X and how it ties into the sequel and try to fill in some holes in the story of the original game with what we know now. Warning for heavy spoilers for X in this episode, particularly around the finale.

VGCTC - Final Fantasy X-2 - Part 5: Calm Lands Grand Prix

In this episode, terrible realizations are made by both of our hosts. Somewhat less importantly, we discuss the last parts of chapter 2 and our predictions for the remaining chapters. Chris gets into some real galaxy brain thinking.

VGCTC - Final Fantasy X-2 - Part 4: Minigame Madness!

This episode, we're a little less keen on what's happening. We reached the dreaded part of many a video game where fun and merriment comes to a screeching halt - the minigame section. We are sad to report that none of these games is Blitzball, so obviously they all stink. But we did them anyway, because we are dedicated to our craft.

VGCTC - Final Fantasy X-2 - Part 3: Tourist Trap Zanarkand

After last week's incident, we're back on track and making good progress. This time we managed to get into chapter 2 and discuss the final parts of chapter 1 and the plot that's started to kick in! We're honestly pretty eager to see what happens next from here.

VGCTC - Final Fantasy X-2 - Part 2: And So It Begins Again... Again

Well, we done goofed. This week we learned that this game is VERY particular if you're trying to complete everything and get that precious 100% run. So we're at the first section, again. And yet, somehow, in spite of that we actually seem to like it better this time. Funny how that works.
