This week on Retarnots, the moon is like super haunted.

Hello everybody and welcome to Retarnots.

I am your host for this week, Nadia Oxford of the Axis of Blood God Arbucci Podcast.

Thank you for joining me. This week I'll be talking about Final Fantasy IV, the after years,

a direct sequel to Final Fantasy IV that did not need to happen, but happened anyway, and keeps happening.

Joining me today is my good friend and after-year defender, Victor Hunter.

It's that Lally Ho over there, Victor Hunter.

And Ash Paulson, another very good friend of mine. Ash Paulson, are you a defender of after years or just a tourist watching the disaster from afar?

Well, I feel like I need a nickname too, so I'll say it's that Spoonie Bard over here.

Ash Paulson, I wouldn't call myself a defender, but I don't hate it.

I don't have this vitriolic hate of the after years that so many other people seem to.

And I kind of, I liked it in its own weird quirky way, so I'm not going to go out and say like, I defend this game to the death.

Like I would Final Fantasy XIII for example, and I just lost all of your audience. I'm so sorry Nadia.

I hear the phone in your side. I'm 100% I'm on your side.

Yes, yes, one of us. Thank you. There are dozens of us.

But no, I like it in its own quirky weird way, even though I wouldn't call myself a staunch defender of it.

I think that that goes for most people who like the game like I am a kind of a defender.

The more I play the stupid broken game more irritated I get, but the more I like it at the same time.

Like I like seeing conclusions for our favorite characters, and they're all just not like all neatly wrapped up Harry Potter conclusions like their actual struggles and stuff they have to deal with.

And I mean, I was compared to having a beer with old friends who you know you love being with them and you love talking to them, but they are jabbing the back of your hand glass every 10 minutes and or spitting in your beer.
