And you probably heard also that there will be changes coming to the new version, and we're not yet sure what most of them are. So, the CoNcast Team jumped at the chance to do some supposition while we wait for something more visual or playable, and we recorded an episode with our thoughts. Listen now, to be sure you can point out all the ways in which we were wrong later. Also listen to more talk about Four Job Fiesta, as I played my FJF run and streamed it to Twitch as we recorded. It was a trainwreck.

So, the fact that we're doing another already might seem weird, right? Well, not really, because this one is very specifically about what is fast becoming a summer tradition in the Final Fantasy community - Four Job Fiesta.

There is a great deal of stuff in Final Fantasy V that is done exceedingly well, and we're here to point those things out to you as a public service to those who haven't played it in years or at all. That said, because the consensus around this game isn't as easy to get to than our previous games, you'll get more debate to enjoy this time around as well.

So, we got our group together to preview things that might be there, and things that we should try to seek out while there. This time around, there's some added stuff for CoN readers, as Square Enix will have both their standard booth and additionally will be running two panels on Saturday, March 7, the day I'll be there. We'll talk about all those things and more, and we'll have some entertaining anecdota that goes well off-topic.

We discuss the history and future of playing the Final Fantasy series on PCs herein.

This year, mairocrat 8 is out, so here's another cast! It's full of us yelling at our Wiis and sharing the best parts of gaming at the holidays, like unwrapping games on Christmas morning or buying games we'll never play on Steamsale. It's also a nice, compact, exactly-forty-minutes that you can devour on the train or plane as you travel for the holidays.

Mon, 18 August 2014 10:55:00 -0500 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/redefining-retro-the-concast-episode-25/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=e025 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/podcast/media/concast_e025.mp3 retro, retro gaming, final fantasy, square, square enix, cthulhu, penny arcade, caves of narshe, narshe 48:53 no This time around, our panel is reviewing the subjectivity of "retro" gaming, particularly as it relates to Final Fantasy. The idea of what makes a Final Fantasy game "retro" is something that can change based on your own experience or lack thereof with the series, and to address that, we talk not only about what makes particular games in the series retro to our minds, but also what we as gamers can do to communicate effectively about the series to those who have a different perspective. Tue, 27 May 2014 11:00:00 -0500 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/an-e3-precap-the-concast-episode-24/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=e024 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/podcast/media/concast_e024.mp3 e3,e3 2014,final fantasy,kingdom hearts,tomb raider,theatrhythm,deus ex,sony,microsoft,nintendo,square enix,square,caves of narshe,narshe,squaresoft,squenix 47:30 no We spend some time touching on what the big three will or won't have around for E3, and of course we take some time to talk about what Square Enix might bring for their big franchises like Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest, Tomb Raider, and Deus Ex. Join Stiltzkin, Lasz, Tiddles and me for a (p)recap of the games you're going to be looking for soon. Wed, 9 April 2014 15:10:00 -0500 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/the-canon-of-characters-the-concast-episode-23/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=e023 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/podcast/media/concast_e023.mp3 final fantasy,protagonists,final fantasy protagonists,cecil,squall,cloud,lightning,ramza,bartz,zidane,tidus,caves of narshe,narshe,squaresoft,square,square enix,squenix 44:58 no A series like Final Fantasy - 25 years old, with twenty-plus games bearing the name - is sure to have an extremely diverse set of characters. Or, is it sure after all? Perhaps the series uses the same archetypes over and over again with slightly different twists. The CoNcast team spends 45 minutes dissecting the lead characters of the series and distilling them to work out the similarities and differences, as well as just the good from the bad. Tue, 18 March 2014 14:00:00 -0400 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/final-fantasy-iv-is-awesome-the-concast-ep-22/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=e022 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/podcast/media/concast_e022.mp3 final fantasy iv,final fantasy,cecil,rosa,super nintendo,super famicom,snes,psx,psp,nintendo ds,remakes,jrpg,caves of narshe,narshe,squaresoft,square,square enix,squenix 51:16 no Last year, we introduced the topic of Final Fantasy VI being awesome as we released new FF6 walkthrough content. The second game CoN added to the site, over a decade ago, was Final Fantasy IV. To stay in order, we now talk about the basics of why FF4 is awesome. Wed, 26 February 2014 10:00:00 -0500 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/square-enix-censorship-the-concast-episode-21/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=e021 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/podcast/media/concast_e021.mp3 censorship,gaming censorship,bravely default,localization,translation,final fantasy,super nintendo,nes,square,square enix 56:39 no A minor controversy brewed up just before the Western release of Bravely Default, with some female characters becoming more clothed and more 'acceptably' aged. Naturally, the response to this news ran the gamut from those who found it pointless to those who seemed to have a much creepier viewpoint on the whole thing. Naturally, this got us thinking, so we spent some time talking about this newest game and some of the history of censorship in Final Fantasy games, whether forced by Nintendo or willfully taken on by Squenix localization teams. Thu, 6 February 2014 12:00:00 -0500 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/its-open-world-the-concast-episode-20/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=e020 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/podcast/media/concast_e020.mp3 open world,games,open world games,rockstar,grand theft auto,red dead redemption,bioware,mass effect,dragon age,square enix,square,final fantasy,mmo,mmorpg 46:40 no For more than a few years, the notion of making a game's world be open and available for exploration and plot advancement at the gamer's whim has grown into a hot genre. Games from Rockstar and Bioware have long been considered to be among the cream of the crop, but it seems like perhaps the JRPG and Square Enix specifically have been behind the curve a bit. This podcast explores the allure of the open-world game and investigates what Squenix might be willing or capable to do to capitalize on this market that they've left largely untapped. Mon, 20 January 2014 10:30:00 -0500 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/welcome-to-2014-the-concast-episode-19/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=e019 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/podcast/media/concast_e019.mp3 45:47 no With 2014 underway, the CoNcast crew looks forward to the Square Enix games for the new year, as well as some other big titles on the way (especially Nintendo, as it turns out!). If you're not up to speed on what's coming next and enjoy folks who are in the same boat, download now. Wed, 25 December 2013 10:30:00 -0500 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/merryocrat-christmas-concast-episode-18/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=e018 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/podcast/media/concast_e018.mp3 holiday,christmas,mario kart,wii,livestream,nes,nintendo,32X,mega drive 48:30 no It's Christmas day, folks! The holiday season is so hectic that it took me two weeks to record and get this CoNcast ready for publication. Also because of the holidays, there weren't many folks around to talk, so we just decided to blow a couple hours playing mairocrat and chatting about the holidays. It's funny, in the end we didn't really talk too much about the goings-on on our respective Wiis, or at least we left that all on the cutting-room floor. What we did talk about a lot is the holiday season, be it this one or good memories of the past. And, of course, with it being CoN, there are a number of semi-entertaining digressions and a fair bit of oversentimentality about the site itself. Mon, 25 November 2013 14:00:00 -0500 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/the-one-biggest-question-the-concast-episode-16//?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=e017 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/podcast/media/concast_e017.mp3 thanksgiving,giving thanks,gaming,final fantasy,final fantasy vi,bioshock,bioshock infinite,borderlands,nintendo 3ds,grand theft auto,open world games,squaresoft,square,square enix,squenix 48:13 no This week is Thanksgiving, here in America, so what better time to talk about all the things that make us thankful for the year in gaming? To make it all the better, we invited three people who don't celebrate Thanksgiving in November (a Canadian and two Brits) to give their own in-depth feelings about being forced to be thankful for an American holiday. And we were even a bit thankful for Square Enix towards the end! Mon, 4 November 2013 15:45:00 -0500 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/the-one-biggest-question-the-concast-episode-16//?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=e016 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/podcast/media/concast_e016.mp3 final fantasy vii,final fantasy 7,ff7,remake,tech demo,mr. t,squaresoft,square,square enix,squenix 51:55 no It's not "Fetch," and nobody on the CoNcast looks like a member of The Plastics. However, there is something that we've all tried to make happen over time and we haven't gotten anywhere: a remake of Final Fantasy VII. We talk about the history of false starts towards this game, the opinions expressed by Squenix employees over time, what it would take to make the fanbase happy, and even whether we actually care ourselves. But, really, who doesn't care? Tue, 22 October 2013 11:30:00 -0500 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/all-about-gaming-style-the-concast-episode-15/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=e015 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/podcast/media/concast_e015.mp3 art,art in games,video game art,photorealism,3d gaming,2d gaming,squaresoft,square,square enix,squenix 52:41 no For all of gaming history, as technology has evolved, so has the capability to do things graphically. We've reached the point where games can be nearly photorealistic, or they can go a very different route. Shall the twain ever meet? Is one objectively better than another? What games benefit from what art direction? All this and more in the CoNcast. Mon, 07 October 2013 11:30:00 -0500 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/square-enix-handheld-the-concast-episode-14/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=e014 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/podcast/media/concast_e014.mp3 handheld,mobile,ios,android,nintendo 3ds,playstation vita,playstation,nintendo ds,caves of narshe,narshe,squaresoft,square,square enix,squenix 58:01 no Inspired by a post at the CoN forums, the group takes a look at whether the quality of work available from Square Enix on portable devices is better than the current work on machines hooked up to TVs. It's a brawl between remakes and smaller, new IPs versus the Final Fantasy juggernaut - kinda. Who will come out ahead? Mon, 16 September 2013 14:30:00 -0500 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/new-hardware-cavalcade-the-concast-episode-13/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=e013 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/podcast/media/concast_e013.mp3 sony,nintendo,vita,vita tv,2ds,playstation 4,playstation,handheld,3ds,tokyo game show,persona,metal gear,final fantasy xv,caves of narshe,narshe,squaresoft,square,square enix,squenix 45:30 no Sony and Nintendo have both been talking about new hardware recently, the former about both their upcoming console but also the new Vita TV. Nintendo, meanwhile, have an odd-looking handheld that is a 3DS sans 3D. Tokyo Game Show is coming this week, too! And for some reason we talk about fast food. Mon, 26 August 2013 20:30:00 -0500 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/a-sequel-frenzy-in-concast-episode-twelve/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=e012 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/podcast/media/concast_e012.mp3 sequel,sequels,trilogy,vagrant story,half-life,prince of persia,skies of arcadia,fable,bastion,transistor,fifa,madden,football manager,caves of narshe,narshe,squaresoft,square,square enix,squenix 50:00 no In this episode, we're talking about sequels. It seems like every game is guaranteed a sequel these days, and some of them are warranted, and some are not. Of course, which ones are which are a matter for debate, so Neal, lasz, DP, and I spend some time talking about games that need more sequels, and games that instead need to be put on the shelf. Wed, 31 July 2013 19:00:00 -0500 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/final-fantasy-vi-is-great-the-concast-episode-11/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=e011 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/podcast/media/concast_e011.mp3 final fantasy vi,final fantasy,shadow,terra,snes,jrpg,caves of narshe,narshe,squaresoft,square,square enix,squenix 38:11 no Today's episode, in honor of both CoNniversary and the relaunch of the Final Fantasy VI section, is just about how great Final Fantasy VI really is. Obviously, this could cover a great many podcasts (and over time, I suspect it will!), but for today we just wanted to talk a little, in broad strokes, about the things that made us all fall in love with it over the years. For this, we got the original CoNcast group together for the first time in a few months, and I, Tiddles, lasz and DP spend an afternoon touching on a few things that keep us coming back to the game. This one is a nice quick listen, so if you've never tried one of our podcasts before, or just love Final Fantasy VI, you should give it a try in honor of the site's 16th birthday. Let us know what you think and we'll be back with a new episode in a few weeks! Tue, 23 July 2013 02:30:00 -0500 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/speeding-through-concast-episode-ten/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=e010 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/podcast/media/concast_e010.mp3 speedgaming,speed demos archive,thespeedgamers,competitive gaming,livestream,twitch,caves of narshe,narshe,square enix,squenix 50:07 no This time around, with TheSpeedGamers' Final Fantasy marathon still fresh in our minds, Lasz, Jav and I brought in a former CoN staffer to talk to us a bit about speedgaming. Folks here might remember him as Caesar, but nowadays he plays games very, very fast over at Speed Demos Archive under his real name, PJ. We spend an hour with PJ talking about all sorts of things about gaming with pace, from how his background at CoN romhacking Final Fantasy V helps him in his gaming, to the games he likes best to speed through, to why more people don't try to speedrun Final Fantasy games. We even talk a bit about the competitive and cooperative aspects of speedgaming and how they share some connection to the rapidly-growing field of eSports. We even wrap up with just a little talk about what's coming for this year's CoNniversary. That's next week! Holy cow! Thu, 12 July 2013 17:00:00 -0500 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/plus-one-to-con-the-concast-episode-nine/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=e009 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/podcast/media/concast_e009.mp3 seiken densetsu 3,seiken densetsu,secret of mana,twitch,twitchtv,let's play,livestream,squaresoft,square enix,squenix 1:02:25 no Tiddles, Neal (from Games Bucket!), EvilEye and R51 get experimental by doing a podcast recording-cum-livestream-cum-let's play of Seiken Densetsu 3. The team both enjoys and mocks simultaneously both the game's first hour and the technical difficulties of SNES netplay. Soon to have an extended cut with video!

However, this week's crew was really, legitimately excited about a lot of E3 2013 and as such we mostly didn't turn the snark up to crippling levels. We had some miscommunications around episode eight that ended up nixing our original plans for the episode theme - was lucky for us, then, that we had E3 the week before recording and we had a lot to say about it. Lucky even moreso because the very time we recorded was the time that Microsoft were making their epic turnaround on their always-online, Kinect-watches-you-sleep plan.

The CoNcast crew talks a little about crowdfunding and how absolutely insane it would be if Squenix moved that direction. Also, there's some chat about what's coming at this week's E3 show, and it's met with meh. Tue, 28 May 2013 15:00:00 -0500 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/concast-episode-sixbox-one/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=e006 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/podcast/media/concast_e006.mp3 xbox,xbox one,microsoft,final fantasy,square enix,square,caves of narshe,narshe,fantasy 56:19 no The Xbox One was announced just before this recording, so we spend the hour talking about the revelations contained therein and also what it could mean for Final Fantasy (a bit!). Tiddles also outs himself as a potential eBay scammer. Mon, 13 May 2013 14:00:00 -0500 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/final-fantasy-stories-concast-episode-five/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=e005 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/podcast/media/concast_e005.mp3 final fantasy,final fantasy vi,skyrim,bioshock infinite,square enix,square,caves of narshe,narshe,fantasy 1:02:13 no The gang regroups to immediately digress into chat about Skyrim and Bioshock Infinite, and then remembers what the podcast is nominally about. Moving on, there's some discussion about the new Final Fantasy VI content coming soon, and a chunk of time in which we wax nostalgic about our "Final Fantasy Stories," how we came to the beloved series in the first place.

We talk a little with Jav about his process and the outcome, and then debate the value of custom ringtones for our mobile phones and why there are awesome gaming ones both from the Squenix canon and in the wide world of games in general. Want to hear everything we're talking about?

We also talk about the best prank the CoN has ever pulled off, starring Chrono Trigger, and wrap up the day with an arched eyebrow towards Bravely Default: Flying Fairy, the notion of a PlayStation 4 Final Fantasy game, and the theoretical death and rebirth of Versus XIII.

Just after that, Death Penalty and laszlow join in for a discussion about the nature and role of gaming fansites in gaming culture, and finish up with a chat about PAX East 2013, with CoN represented by Rangers51.
