The Power of Lying (Final Fantasy Mystic Quest Part 3)
Final Fancast
Hey, guess what. You didn't hear this from me, but I heard a rumor that Final Fancast is finally wrapping up Mystic Quest. Yeah, I guess they met up with Reuben to smoke some Thunder Rock and finally tracked down Captain Mac. Weird, right? And then they got together with Phoebe to storm the Doom Castle! Can you believe it? Yeah, they say there was some kind of Dark King hanging out in there and they, like, beat him up. Oh, oh, and there were quizzes! So many quizzes! OMG, yeah pass it on! I can't wait to see Mike and Remy's faces when they find out everyone knows!

Final Fancast
The fancast? Final. The quest? Mystic. In this episode we kick off our Mystic Quest miniseries as we follow Benjamin, the most ordinary youngster you could ever imagine who is also better than everyone, on his journey to liberate the crystals. This game has it all: destroyed villages, an ancient prophecy, a Focus Tower, WIZARD MAGIC, bombs, and an old baboon man on a cloud who we're not sure we can trust. In this leg we tackle the Bone Dungeon by way of Foresta and the Ice Pyramid by way of Aquaria with help from our friends(?) Kaeli, Tristam, and Phoebe, and a special encore appearance by...

X-Plane This, Michio Kaku (Final Fantasy Legend III Part 2)
Final Fancast
With Maitreya out of the way, it's time to zip around in our very own Talon. That's right, our airship can finally fly! Until it can't. In this episode we explore Pureland (no, not that Pureland) on our continuing quest to stop the Water Entity and learn what a Xagor is. We'll collect some Mystic Swords and gather the Talon's crew members before plunging into the depths of the Underworld on our way to Goht. Also, was Mike the only person who watched Mummies Alive? What about Arthur and the Knights of Justice? That one doesn't come up in this episode, but still.

This episode takes us across the past, present, and future in our quest to stop the Water Entity from flooding everything everywhere all at once. We'll stop off in Dharm, Elan, Lae, Viper, and Muu, and eventually blast off to Floatland for a showdown with Maitreya. Along the way we puzzle over the new five-step transformation system, wonder at the mechanics of nonlinear causality, and demand answers about Talons and their Units. And who or what is Xagor?

Evil-ution at Its Purest (FF4 The After Years Part 9)
Final Fancast
It’s the FuSoYa chapter starring Golbez. Is Golbez’s first name Theodore or Selena? Counts rule counties; Count Malboros rule Big Mean Jerkface County. FuSoYa, the powerful Lunarian archmage, seems to have roughly six and a half MP at any given moment. How do the moon phases work when we’re actually on a moon? Is osmose secretly useful? Flashbacks to FF4 ensue. Lunarian nesting dolls are a thing. We shimmy and shake along with Zeromus’s Bonus. This definitely shouldn’t be your very first Final Fantasy game. Right? It seems like maybe it shouldn't be.

Also, we cannot stress this enough: there is no Clown Town, nor should there be. If you find yourself in Clown Town, something has gone horribly wrong and we advise you to leave as quickly and carefully as possible.
