Deep Listens is a gaming podcast series I'm recording with a few of my friends. Every two weeks we pick and play a new game and then discuss it from a literary, philosophical, and game design perspective. Its kind of like a book club for video games. We try to dig as deep as we can on an individual game every episode so check it out!

In our third episode of our continuing series of podcasts on FFIX Gino, Pete, Billy, and Chris "ZombiePie" -REDACTED- discuss disc 3 of FFIX. We start out by taking everyone's temperature and admonishing Billy's crippling case of the grinds. Afterwards, we discuss every major plot point on disc 3 including Alexandria, Lindblum, the Desert Palace, Ipsen's Castle, and the grand events in Terra. I think we're all finally on board. Or at least on board enough.

Final Fantasy Nine Lives: Part 3

Looking forward to the "Vivi is the main character" discussion, because he totally is. No other character is as consistent with the themes of the game, or tied to the antagonist as well as he is. Might not be intentional, but he totally steals the show outside of just being everyone's favourite character.
