Final Fantasy Tactics E25: A Blood Member of Darkness...

Retrograde Amnesia: Comprehensive JRPG Retrospective ·

2024/09/30

What devilry is this? It’s a podcast, once in which we’re wading in rebirth, boasting the brain of a dullard, fighting an old foe who died but didn’t, indulging in gratuity, interrupting pervert preparation, hanging a bag of teeth, refusing to acknowledge death, unpossessing numen, thinking of our sire’s flesh, becoming a blood member of darkness, wondering if stones can pervert perverts, and recruiting someone to kill their father. Ere long you shall know darkness deeper still. 00:00 Rebirth |

The stone chooses the flesh. You have chosen to listen to us as we’re wondering why Aerith needs money, laughing like Kefka, not agreeing with arbitration, spilling blood on fancy riggins, looking for a good drubbing, refusing to argue with ghosts, killing dead people again, crushing grapes, leaving a fearsome stain, playing dumb and dumber about mossfungus, listening in secret, sensing perversion, exploring the necrohol, reserving questions for the victor, distinguishing between vampire and

Let’s away before we’re found. But first, listen while we’re ignoring height, raising a sluice gate, breaking Orlandeau out of the break room at work, questioning Valmafra’s allegiance, finding the one competent person who likes us, suffering a plague of fools, perverting an idiot, flashing that, gandering a goose, murdering a willing zealot, buying a flower, speaking to a robot, commanding that robot to kill, killing a different robot, turning a dragon into a lady, applying father’s mercy, coming

Now there is a podcast I had not thought to find in these wastes! Bathe with us in the muck as we’re learning from Matsuno why Orators get guns, possessing powerful evidence of the church’s misdeeds, staying two steps ahead, acting as expected, dropping spores in the wind, respecting the constitution, only understanding transactional relationships, excusing Orlandeau from villainous plotting, picking the same wall, resisting the poison, double-gripping the stabby knife, hacking blood up all over

God is watching, have faith. God is also listening to us assuming the piss position, successfully whistling grass, gaslighting ourselves, flying in from Final Fantasy XII, pursuing beauty, acquiring heroes of myths and legends, ordering dairy from the liquor bar, caring not for coin, remembering Beowulf facts, befriending a dragon, wishing for the anti-pervert, quitting darkened halls, thinking as a free thinker, reframing Ovelia as sister-girlfriend, questioning our own motivations, and yearning to

Zodiac stones read the metadata of your heart. You ears read the metadata of us narrowing seven to four, making our name shit, waiting for a new dawn, using the auracite for good actually, false fighting the second pervert, citing heaven, campfire’ing next to corpses, killing jobbers off screen, simultaneously referencing U2 + Queen + Jefferson Airplane, ruining a good name, stripping new hires of their clothes, inflicting atheist effects, and radicalizing another bereaved sibling.

2024/08/19

All such tales of gods and their miracles are false. But not us, and not when we’re swearing on words that have no honor, realizing scripture is leverage, taking fate into mine own hands, listening to death noises, slaking thirst for revenge, selling out for the lord, perverting into another ghoul, unthinking brains, slaying another pervert, surveying the murder room, frowing up on myself, letting Isilud rest, sparking divinity from Alma, losing days’ past, retching our innards, repaying debts with

The air is thick with death’s foul stench. This episode is thick with sliming rockets, adding another cultural stereotype, invalidating past benevolence with modern action, resolving sibling arguments, allowing a heretic to triumph, opening the orphanage-to-assassins pipeline, becoming conduits of heaven and nether, speaking to a frog, becoming a knight in shining armor, slaying lingering souls, hiding fascism with austerity, assigning true power to the templar, gaslighting the church, slapping the

We are all but puppets, dancing as they pull our strings. You are all but listeners, frolicing as we’re taking shelter from the rain, meeting with an outland mage, being honest about forbidden knowledge, refusing to be a puppet, wishing no more need of tears, excavating at the mines, delivering job reports, falling out of Mana Secrets, recruiting a juvenile game hunter, buying freedom with blood, slaughtering deserters, appearing on a handbill for heresy, justifying infinite war, adopting a son in

Only with power can dreams be made real. Only with this podcast can we tell you about wishing for the Auto-Face, persisting in a fool resistance, fighting in the book store, confusing opponents by betraying our class, normalizing the battle gauntlet, girding for battle, becoming a thrall of the church, jokerfying yet another would-be ally, living for this, wiping a brain after defilement, switching to demon dialect, biting from the fruit of the tree of knowledge, leaving things undone, and reading

What nonsense is this? Well, it’s an audio variety show where we’re playing Dycedarg’s theme for a meeting with Zalbaag, wondering if Zalbaag is dumb, failing to avoid Alma, proving truth words, fighting a heresy examiner, perverting into the Lucavi, profaning the gods, cutting a deal with Alma, rumoring Elmdore’s death, storing books underground, acquiring magic rocks to gain the people’s trust, making Alma guard the base, wishing we were born a man, assigning the universal mong theory, and getting

Mentally, are you becoming a coward? Vocally, we’re entering a pope meeting, pronouncing “Orlandeau,” feeling lost in the sauce, using a prisoner’s confession as an excuse to kill a guy, recognizing Orlandeau’s prowess, showcasing multiple councils, haggling over war logistics, closing the borders, going against the big tide, performing the forbidden dance, preaching secular theories, believing in god so much we quit the war, rescuing a shuffler, obtaining a battle dict., and shakin’ hands.

Think of us simply, as allies. Allies who are not touching our supper, expressing a shit head belief system, revealing a princess as false, laying out different scenarios, figuring out scenes were added to the PSP release, swearing vengeance to killers, granting Wiegraf a second act, finally 1v1’ing Gafgarrion, feeling cold, thrice damning Gafgarrion, making our purpose plain, showing up too late to save the princess, transforming into the taint king, excruciating in ecstasy, waving goodbye to our

Stop looking at girls, stop looking at rocks. Instead, look at us with your ears as we’re warning Ramza off the criminal conspiracy, reading six books, wondering who pilled Delita, realizing the nobles and the clergy are united in corruption, sniffing out a fake, losing another princess, preferring Dragoon to Samurai, falling for a gallows-based switcheroo, expecting Ramza to prodigal son his way home, painting deeds as foul, appreciating Gaffgarion’s persona, literally saying “game of thrones,” and

Just when I thought this fen could grow no fowler, we’ve cast another pod. Indulge us as we’re believing in god to get through a gate, identifying the manipulator, vexing with such worryment, listening to myths and legends, understanding auracite as everything magic, listening to the church’s perfect pitch, murdering the dead, appearing clergy and merchant adjacent, trading rock for father, blinging auracite, revealing a magic rock switcheroo, and evicting chocobos from our party of heretics.

Those who live by deceit are the first to die by it. Those who listen to this episode will hear tales of jumping in first-person, rescuing a pony-tailed squire, blinging the magic rocks, climbing walls and talking shit, bringing a gun to a wizard fight, realizing we’re in Final Fantasy XII’s future, losing patience with Mustadio, finding Christ without a crucifixion, creepin’ on some ladies, blowing grass, wishing for no quarrel, leaving us wroth, soiling our names, coddling the boy, sipping

The day grows lovelier by the hour. Just like us, as we’re eavesdropping on a conspiracy, threatening a heretic brand, wonder which magic spell hurts the worst, rescuing a large bird from goblins, gouging eyes out, climaxing at a waterfall, realizing Gaffgarion’s true nature, writing the scenario in real time, refusing to step over dead guys, understanding class warfare but choosing to not care, denying filth of money, reasoning with each other in front of a waterfall, and understanding the church

Fighting is the only way out.

Animals have no god. But they have us, and so do you, as we’re correcting the marquis, nesting menus, rending equipment, interpreting the kindness of time, being false on another’s behalf, once again realizing knights are cops, wasting strength and vitality, wondering if executing a scenario requires executing a god, demanding more than an apology, blowing up my clothes, supping on broth of bean, thinking beastly thoughts, doing it in the gutter, filling radicalization meters, and stealing one lady
