Final Fantasy 8, Part 5: SeeD Babies

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Brooklyn Zed (@hardrockhope) are junctioning themselves to a new Final Fantasy experience: FF8.

Post Show Recaps presents “Final Fantasy,” a very creatively named podcast series in which Josh introduces his friend Zed to the best video game series of all time. Best, of course, is a relative term …

Following their deep-dive into all things FF7, Josh and Zed now embark on “Final Fantasy 8.” In FF8, the player assumes the role of brooding bad boy Squall Leonhart and his fellow members of SeeD: students at the local Garden by day, globe-trotting soldiers by … also day. It’s one of the more controversial installments in “Final Fantasy,” but as the successor to FF7, it’s the next natural step for Josh and Zed’s tour through the series. So draw some magic, don’t forget to junction a Guardian Force, and get ready for a ride.

In this week’s podcast, Josh and Zed get to the big twist of the game, and it’s definitely a doozy, even if it’s not quite the tragedy of FF7’s major curveball. What does it mean? No, seriously, can someone explain it? Josh and Zed do their best!

If you want to play along while you listen to the podcast journey, “Final Fantasy VIII” is available on various platforms: Nintendo Switch, PS4, Steam and even the original PSX version, assuming you, like Zed, still have an old-school system.
