In our first episode outside of the dark metropolis of Midgar, Allen and Erin regroup with the party in Kalm, a quaint little town with some different perspectives on the impact Shinra has had on the world. We talk about the role of The Big Sword(TM) in Japanese pop culture and its deep historical roots, some thoughts on the "multicultural" aspirations of this entry in the Final Fantasy series, and the generational nature of the conflicts at play in the story.
We also get majorly bummed out at 16-year-old Cloud in our first big flashback cutscene, and discover that Sephiroth is just Dennis from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
