[Unit-01]

Been waiting for this one. Thanks guys.

 

[Tennyo]

Haha it's a long one.

 

[Happy Little Lemon]

I managed to listen to about an hour of this while I was working earlier (I started to daydream about what the Trail of Blood section will be like in the remake and decided I better knock it off ) and I'm about to listen to the rest while I make dinner. Very entertaining, I look forward to going back through the rest of the series.

Oh - and whoever said the 'boil them, mash them, stick them in stew' line made me laugh and inhale a lungful of hot coffee...but it was so worth it

 

[Tetsujin]

Ryu's audio quality is unusually low this time. What happened? o.O

Also, nitpick: No mentioning of the EU release date in the beginning
I figured you left them out for previous games because the EU received those way after, but with FFVII being the first main game officially released here I thought it would've been worth mentioning

 

[Avalanche87]

I was so psyched when I saw the post on facebook for this podcast!!

I'M SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!

Going to force my poor wife and unborn baby to listen too

Once the remake is here, I plan on having my baby boy sitting "goo goo, gaa gaaing" next to me while I play ha ha ha, teaching him from a YOUNG age!! lol!

 

[Avalanche87]

TOTALLLLLYYYYY had tears well up listening to the end of the podcast.... ooohhh boyyy!!!!

Great podcast, as always, it's a shame there were some sound quality issues :S it made it a little bit hard to listen to. ALAS, a new podcast shal follow!

 

[Jason Tandro]

Answer to the Question:

There are some obvious answers:

Phoenix + Final Attack
Quad Magic + Bahamut Zero

But these are everybody's favorite options, so allow me to offer a few fun ones that I use:

Sneak Attack + KOTR (Because I like to think that Cloud, when startled, will powderize first, and ask questions later).

HP Absorb + KOTR (Learned about this one this playthrough when I fought Emerald Weapon. Combining it with Mime makes you basically invincible).

Added Effect + Hades (When added to your armor it's the next best thing to a Ribbon. Attack and it's like you've got the FF8 spell "Pain" equipped to your weapon).

Finally have the chance to give this a listen. I'm about 20 minutes in, where you're talking about the CPR mini game.

Recording from a different location, and I had to deal with a less benign recording location and a pair of dogs.

That's not a nice thing to call Vader and me.

I'd never call you two dogs. For one, you're nowhere near as cute as Belle and Winston. And much less well trained, to boot.
