This week on With a Terrible Fate‘s podcast, Aaron and Dan take a deep breath and dive into their very first, unfiltered, spoiler-rich thoughts about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Save this episode until you’ve finished the main scenario and are ready to dig into its microscopic and macrocosmic implications! We’re already eagerly planning new analyses centered on this latest addition to the Final Fantasy VII corpus, consistent with the spirit and approach of The Legacy of Final Fantasy VII Remake.
Ahead of the Rebirth roundtable, we also anticipate With a Terrible Fate’s lecture at PAX East 2024, which took place this past weekend! (The podcast was produced ahead of the convention.) We were overjoyed to engage a wonderful audience of hundreds of thoughtful, passionate gamers on the topic of bosses’ interactive and narrative content over the course of almost three hours, and we’re delighted to welcome many of these newcomers into the broader With a Terrible Fate community. Unfortunately, we encountered some unexpected recording issues and only walked away with partial footage from the lecture, but we’re excited to share as much as we can with the entirety of our audience in one form or another in the near future. Stay tuned!
