Abnormal Mapping 118: Lost Odyssey

This month we feast on one of the largest games time investment
wise we’ve ever played for Abnormal Mapping, but it just so
happens to be the game we initially bonded over well before we
started the podcast. Thankfully, we can’t get too self indulgent,
as we’re joined by special guest Molly Rhinebeck to navigate the
ins and outs of the 1000 year journey of Kaim and Seth and their
wives.


Please enjoy this supersized episode about how games can be
meaningful and uneven in the same breath, the hell space that was
late 00s console JRPGs, and how Final Fantasy is truly an essence
that can be captured if the right people are making it, brands be
damned.
