Final Fantasy 8 Analysis (Ep. 1) | State of the Arc Podcast Resonant Arc 2021-03-15 | In this first episode of our deep-dive into Final Fantasy VIII, we look at the key members of the development staff and the reasoning behind their decisions to mix things up and take FF8 in a very different direction from past entries. We also examine the style of director Yoshinori Kitase and character designer Tetsuya Nomura--this being their first opportunity to do things the way they saw fit without the oversight of Hironobo Sakaguchi. What makes a strong hook? Are the characters convincing? Was the setting relatable and compelling? We answer these questions and more after playing through the opening hours of Final Fantasy 8!**We're Now On Spotify**: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gIzzvT...**Listen On Soundcloud**: soundcloud.com/resonantarc**Listen On iTunes**: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...**Listen On Google Play**: https://play.google.com/music/listen?...**Listen On Pocket Cast**: http://pca.st/NJsJTime Codes:1.

Yevon in Spira | Final Fantasy X Discussion on Religion w/ Michs Resonant Arc 2024-05-22 | Michs is getting his Masters Degree in Theology at Harvard University, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to talk about Final Fantasy X and the Yevon religion that rules Spira. No, we are not talking about Final Fantasy X-2. Maybe one day... In the mean time, enjoy this discussion we had. It touches on a variety of topics, ranging from Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov, to the Bible, to politics and modern monetary policy. I hope you enjoy it!

Is The Localization For Unicorn Overlord BAD? | State of the Arc Podcast Resonant Arc 2024-03-06 | Localization is one of the most challenging aspects of game development, it can either make or break a game. But sometimes it's done extremely well and some people just can't see it. It's OK to disagree with the translation choices made by a team of translators, however, if you think the translation for Unicorn Overlord isn't DOPE then you run a high likelihood of being wrong. I think the odds are maybe like 99% that you're wrong. But hey, there's still a chance. Listen to hear opinions that are softer than this description might let on.

Is Squall DEAD? | Final Fantasy VIII Analysis | State of the Arc Podcast Resonant Arc 2024-02-14 | Is Squall dead? Is he just dreaming?

Is Final Fantasy VIII too Fantasy and not based enough in reality for you? Do we feel the need to bring fantasy down to the materialist, hyper-rational world in order to enjoy it, or can it just stand on its own two feet?
