Final Fantasy & Kingdom Hearts Union

There have been some significant updates to Kingdom Hearts Union X and we're going to be talking all about them throughout today's episode! On top of that, there's also time for plenty of cool questions from the community, so we hope you all enjoy the show!

It's time to revisit Final Fantasy IV in our continuing series of replaying the older games. Throughout this episode, we discuss the story, the characters, and the best version to play... all while talking about NieR Replicant

The ending update for Kingdom Hearts Union X has been delayed and there has also been a change of plans... as the update will now be released in two parts, as opposed to one. We also run through some of the Kingdom Hearts 3 Mods that have been released into the wild so far :D

We have brand new information relating to the Final Fantasy 7 Remake, as Episode Yuffie has now been named! Outside of discussing the name, we also run-through some of the new characters who're introduced, touch on Fort Condor and have a brief segment focussed on our excitement for the upcoming release of NieR Replicant v1.22

With so much talk about the PlayStation 5 and its fancy SSD, we discuss how this might affect any future installments of Kingdom Hearts on the next generation of consoles. In addition, there's some news related to Melody of Memories, the release of Kingdom Hearts on the Epic Games Store and an update on NEO: The World Ends With You.

Final Fantasy has featured some pretty impactful moments and as part of today's episode, we're discussing the ones that had the most emotional impact! In addition, we also have plenty of questions from the community relating to the Final Fantasy 7 Remake, favourite summons and how we've enjoyed the older games on our Twitch stream!

With KHUx coming to an end, it's time to discuss everything that's happened since the release of Kingdom Hearts 3! Throughout this episode, the crew take a deep dive into the canon story of KHUx while also taking time to recognise the 19th anniversary of Kingdom Hearts!

It's another episode and it's another huge update about the Final Fantasy 7 Remake! Yoshinori Kitase and Tetsuya Nomura have been speaking to Japanese media about what to expect from Intergrade, with some loose talks about Part Two, and there's also new information about First Soldier, Ever Crisis and... Forspoken (although that's not Final Fantasy-related!)

Numerous games have gone down the path of creating a prequel and that's the main discussion for today's episode... would it be worth Square Enix making a full on Kingdom Hearts 0? If so, what would the story look like and would it be a full-game or just a segment of another game?

After months of nothing, Square Enix decided to announce a load of news and games related to the Final Fantasy 7 Remake... all on the same day! Throughout this episode, we're discussing Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, Final Fantasy 7: The First Solider and Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis... it's going to be a hell of a ride!

After many, many years, development on the Kingdom Hearts mobile game will be ceasing as both games are now complete! Nomura revealed the news in an open letter, where he stated that once both teams had wrapped up their current workloads they would be merged with the rest of the Kingdom Hearts team. An offline version of the game will then be made available for fans to enjoy.

Based on some new comments from Naoki Yoshida, it feels like Square Enix will be taking a more measured approach with the marketing of Final Fantasy XVI. Throughout this episode, we discuss what this means for the next 6-12 months and why we're pleased with the comments Yoshida has made.

After many, many years, every major Kingdom Hearts game will now be coming to PC. It sees Kingdom Hearts 1.5, 2.5, 2.8, 3 and Melody of Memories all arrive as Epic Games Store exclusive titles and there will be some exclusive keyblades available too!

Having completed our playthrough of the last Final Fantasy game to appear on the NES, it's time to have a discussion about what it brought to the table! There's also a brief run-down of some recent Final Fantasy news, specifically relating to Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, the next expansion.

It's surreal to think it's already been two years since the release of Kingdom Hearts 3, but we thought it'd be a great time to reminisce! We've also got some new relating to a Kingdom Hearts novel that's being released and addressing some fan concerns about burnout with the franchise.

It's the 20th anniversary of Final Fantasy X and we felt it would be prudent to discuss why we hold the game with such reverence. It leads to some interesting discussions around the specific elements that we feel make Final Fantasy X such a special experience and we hope you enjoy!

With EA's exclusivity deal now ended, does that open for the door for Star Wars characters to start appearing within the Kingdom Hearts universe? That's the main topic of this episode, but there's also room to talk about Melody of Memory, its impact and some of the story elements that are a bit more nuanced.

The year has only just begun and there's already Final Fantasy 7 Remake speculation! Throughout this episode, we run-through the latest Final Fantasy trademarks, discuss our views on Final Fantasy XVI and run-through the various games we're excited to see and play throughout the year!

2020 has been a pretty crazy year on all fronts, and it's been one to remember for Final Fantasy. Throughout this episode, we have a focus on discussing the release of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition and the reveal of Final Fantasy XVI... as well as a brief look at our expectations for 2021! Thank you all again for sticking with us this year

Kingdom Hearts is an expansive franchise that appeals to all ages, but when it is best to start? This is one the many questions discussed on today's episode as Branden and Churro venture into other topics like SEJ's new working from home policy and Yoko Shimomura's music retrospective series!
