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 this episode Gino and Chris "ZombiePie" -REDACTED- discuss the end of Final Fantasy X-2 and answer a number of user questions! We answer listener questions on the role ketchup plays in rice preparation (it should play no role), what defines JRPGs, and what makes the Final Fantasy franchise a franchise. We then talk about Chapter 5 of Final Fantasy X-2 and how the ending made us feel. We finish up by placing FFX-2 within our ongoing ranking of all FF games and singing out our sadness.

All Aboard the Paine Train: Part 4 - The Grand Final-e

Congratulations on suffering through Final Fantasy X-2! I apologize in advance for the email I wrote in regards to some of the discussion you had on this episode, but that's what happens when I'm name-dropped by my dumb internet moniker on your podcast.
