Everything Is Final Fantasy

From turn-based and ATB systems to more action-oriented gameplay, the Final Fantasy multiverse has added a ton to the lexicon. Let's celebrate the best battle systems of Final Fantasy!

We chat with Peter Broderick about his new album White Mages - Ode to Final Fantasy, featuring gentle and relaxing music from our favorite series. We talk about the process of picking pieces of music, choosing how to adapt them, and listen to a few samples including Hymn of the Fayth (FFX) Under the Rotting Pizza (FFVII) and Melodies of Life from FFIX.

Final Fantasy VIII gave us "The Man with the Machine Gun" a paradigm-shifting piece of music for the game and the franchise and a fan favorite to this day. We listen to and learn about synth sounds and theory, including some classic movie/TV themes, and Blue Man Group! Plus, we finally listen to some Black Mages!

Final Fantasy XV has often been criticized for being incomplete. Well I've got a few things to say about that. #finalfantasy #FFXV
