Momento Mori

06/10/24 • 164 min

The arcana is the means by which all is revealed.

Hope you wanted an almost 3 hour analysis of Persona 3: Reload, because this is an almost 3 hour analysis of Persona 3: Reload. Covering what's new, what's changed, and answering some important questions that matter for fans of the original game, of the series as a whole, and maybe even any brave soul who has never played a Persona game. As spoiler free as humanly possible. It's too early in the show's history to have broken my brain and yet this episode finally exists.

XIV Reasons Why

Welcome to Did it All For The Moogle, a very serious podcast. Listen to this first episode to find out why one man would lose his sanity by devoting his free time to 100 hour video games and Fred Durst.

After a quick rundown of just what the hell this show is going to be, we jump into XIV Reasons Why, our segment discussing Final Fantasy XIV. This time the topic is the interesting reception Dawntrail's newest job has received so far, and where it could conceivably fit into the current caster role.

Later, in prep for FFVII Rebirth, we briefly touch on FFVII Advent Children, a relic from 2006 if there ever was one. Then, the hell of finishing all of Persona 3 Portable's achievements before Persona 3 Reload releases. And finally: Bizkit Bites, where we track the mischief Limp Bizkit got up to at the end of 2023.

(00:00) - Intro
(13:57) - XIV Reasons Why: Pictomancer Edition
(36:31) - FFVII Advent Children Is the Most 2006 Thing Ever
(40:55) - Persona 3 Portable Achievement Hell
(47:22) - Bizkit Bites: Hanabie Edition
(52:25) - Outro

Next Episode

Pictomancer Better Be Good

Sometimes you gotta let the anger out and be a bit of a hater. On this one I might have had a little too much haterade. But the good news is that Square Enix gets the brunt of it, so can you really blame me?

Our first topic is about the collapse of a private server for the defunct Shin Megami Tensei MMO, a drama unfolding just as I was trying to check it out. Never join the Discords.

Later I discuss my lingering disappointment with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Mind the spoiler timestamps if you haven't played it yet and care.

And finally I save XIV Reasons why for last, where I lament my frustrations with the state of Final Fantasy XIV days away from the Dawntrail expansion. But there's a hope on the horizon. I'm betting it all on pictomancer.
