Ep 14: Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII w/ Fletch

With special guest Fletch in tow, we delve into one of the strangest, fascinating, and underrated Final Fantasy entires: Lightning Returns. Fletch and Paul sign the praises of a game that is over the top in all of the best ways, introduces innovative mechanics, and features best emotionless girl Lightning as the harbinger of the apocalypse for a delightfully ridiculous world. Unfairly maligned at its release, the game has become a cult classic in recent years, and for good reason. Join us as we discuss death cults, chicken seers, Louis Vuitton cross-promotions, and the brilliance of a battle system built on costume changes.
