After fleeing Marquis Ondore’s swank crib, the game wastes no time in dropping you right off at the start of the next area. Balthier, for the third time at least, caresses his ego by showing off features of his ship, this time a cloaking device he borrowed from a StarCraft Wraith. It’s sadly not inaccurate […]
Tonight at 7pm, you can join Chris and I on his Twitch channel as we guide our hapless protagonists from one ill-advised misadventure to another. I have to make a minor correction: Last week I claimed that the developers designed the game with the intention that Sheva gets the rifle and Chris gets the shotgun. […]
This week, Paul is the one that showed up with a fistfull of topics, and I’m the one who… doesn’t. I could get used to this. Hosts: Paul, Shamus. Episode edited by Issac.

In this week’s episode, we rescue the princess. This means that our party is now complete. And I have to say I’m not really a fan. Of any of them. Oh sure, there’s all the problems we’ve already covered, like how their personal goals don’t align with the plot, or indeed go anywhere interesting. But […]
We open to the party being brought aboard Ghis’ flagship, the Dreadnought Leviathan. Hilariously, the little transport craft has these two protrusions on the front that look like someone welded two swords to the bumper. I can’t help but imagine this little bumper-car ship ramming dreadnoughts with its teensy little fender blades. As the party […]

Take a drink whenever… Sheva enters the frame via a Miranda shot. Anytime Chris or Sheva say “partners” to each other. Every time Chris impotently […]
In this week’s entry Rocketmaaaaa-an! talks about the scene where Basch meets with Ondore, the Marquis,[1] the narrator guy, or whatever the game is calling him at any given moment. Ondore meets with Basch, but then he says something ominous about needing to “keep up appearances”. Basch draws his sword, some imperials charge in, and […]
As much through a stroke of good luck as anything, the bounty hunter Ba’Gamnan has at last drawn his target to him, and Balthier and co. arrive in Bhujerba. The Strahl’s flyover of the skycity is freakin’ gorgeous, too; Final Fantasy XII really is a beautiful game. At the airport, Balthier points out once again […]
