Abnormal Mapping 147: Final Fantasy XVI

We’re joined by post-gamer and friend of the show Austin Walker
to talk about the latest and greatest in the long running Final
Fantasy series. That’s right, it’s Clive time! Join us as we try
to grapple with this large action RPG and talk mostly about its
story and themes. Some mechanical talk, but this is very writing
centric as an episode. Enjoy!


Check out Austin’s podcasts Friends at the Table, A More
Civilized Age, and Shelved by Genre! They’re all good!


NOTE: This episode released a bit early, so maybe think about
sending in Muv Luv emails if you’re hearing this week of release,
okay?


Thank you so much as always for listening, please rate and review
the podcast, and tell all your friends on whatever social media
you call home that they should check us out. See you next month!

general to abnormalmappingpodcast@gmail.com!
