Dogs and cats and chocobos, oh my! Here are our picks for the most lovable and steadfast pet companions in the Final Fantasy multiverse.

We continue with Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro as our hero meets Clarisse, receives a mysterious ring, and embarks upon the adventure of sneaking into the castle for its many rewards.

We listen to OVER TWENTY pieces of overworld music, mostly from non-Final Fantasy RPGs. We go on a journey from 1986-2018 and hear a variety of ways a variety of composers (including Koji Kondo and Yoko Shimomura) have approached the task of giving so many wonderful worlds their vibe.

From turn-based and ATB systems to more action-oriented gameplay, the Final Fantasy multiverse has added a ton to the lexicon. Let's celebrate the best battle systems of Final Fantasy!

We continue Final Fantasy IX into the Village of Dali where Zidane, Steiner, and Dagger continue to iron out their hilariously complicated dynamic while Vivi takes his first steps on a melancholy self-discovery.

We chat with Peter Broderick about his new album White Mages - Ode to Final Fantasy, featuring gentle and relaxing music from our favorite series. We talk about the process of picking pieces of music, choosing how to adapt them, and listen to a few samples including Hymn of the Fayth (FFX) Under the Rotting Pizza (FFVII) and Melodies of Life from FFIX.

Final Fantasy VIII gave us "The Man with the Machine Gun" a paradigm-shifting piece of music for the game and the franchise and a fan favorite to this day. We listen to and learn about synth sounds and theory, including some classic movie/TV themes, and Blue Man Group! Plus, we finally listen to some Black Mages!

Final Fantasy XV has often been criticized for being incomplete. Well I've got a few things to say about that. #finalfantasy #FFXV
