There are few games, few RPGs, as well known as Final Fantasy 7. For all of the popularity the Final Fantasy franchise had amongst RPG fans, it was 7 that broke through to a wide audience worldwide. So of course the announcement of a remake of this classic game caused a lot of excitement and worry. Would it live up to the original? Should this even be attempted? Join Austin, Patrick, Cado, and special guest Matthew Gault from Motherboard as they discuss Final Fantasy VII Remake, the new battle system, the structural changes made from the original, how the story fits into a modern context. We also answer listener questions!

| 0:00.0 | What's good internet? It's Monday April 6th and you're listening to Waypoint Radio. |
| 0:21.1 | Episode 304. I'm your host Austin Walker. I'm filled with Mako Energy, which is |
| 0:28.0 | a great place to be. I'm really missing the thing about Mako Energy. I thought about making |
| 0:35.4 | a t-shirt that says actually it's Mako and like doing it phonetically. No, I know. Same. |
| 0:42.8 | Joy to Mako purists. Mako purists. Patrick Kleppik is joining us. Matthew God, where do you stand |
| 0:49.6 | on the Mako issue? The Mako Mako issue? I'm glad and thrilled to be hearing that other people |
| 0:55.3 | also thought it was Mako. My whole life. My whole life. I thought it was Mako. I would be curious. There's |
| 0:59.7 | probably like a scientific explanation for like something of the English language that when you |
| 1:04.5 | look at that word, it makes you like default to that pronunciate. Like I just want to, what's the |
| 1:10.7 | there's probably some sort of actually good story about like where people fell on those two |
| 1:15.1 | pronunciations and why you landed in that way. I don't know. So here my question here is, |
| 1:21.2 | is it also a Mako shark and not a Mako shark? Oh, you don't know. Oh, God. You've just cracked |
| 1:29.8 | the case. I don't know. I think I'm on Wikipedia and it says the A is the A that you were pronouncing |
| 1:38.3 | father. So yes, I think it's a Mako shark and not a Mako shark. Which means there must be some |
| 1:44.5 | Maui. Fuck. My suspicion is that there are some sort of like zoo books ad or you know what I mean? |
| 1:53.6 | Like an episode of some like all that like something that we watched with someone said a Mako |
| 2:00.6 | shark and in our heads, it's like Mako. That's a word added to your dictionary, pronounce it Mako |
| 2:07.5 | and that would be it forever. My immediate thought is the word make, right? M-A-K. Yeah, that's |
| 2:13.4 | yeah, yes, 100% Mako Mako. Yeah, we'll just forget about how, but like looking at it phonetically, |
| 2:22.6 | there isn't, you need the E to make the makes it the A sound. And we just forgot that shit. Oh, |
| 2:28.5 | it's basically an E. You just move the O around a little bit and you got knee. Anyway, as you might |
| 2:35.8 | have guessed, we're here to talk about Final Fantasy VII remake, which is coming up this week. |
