Episode 284: Parasite Eve Revisited (Patreon)

Our steady march through Final Fantasy's history (which we began, what, four years ago?) continues with this side excursion into a not-Final Fantasy game which is, at the same time, extremely Final Fantasy. And Chrono Trigger. It's swell, is what we're saying. And it involves opera and museums, too, so it's cultural! Parasite Eve contains multitudes. (Of mitochondria.) Thanks to Nina Matsumoto for the cover illustration!
By the way, if you missed us at PAX East this past weekend, despair not: That episode will be appearing in fairly short order. That's good!
Unfortunately, there is a chance PAX East may be the last time I travel to record for a while due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. I've already been forced to scrap the dev interviews I had slated for GDC, and who knows what else will be canned. That's bad! But hey, that's what this massive backlog of episode recordings I've been sitting on has been for. Some people hoard food and water for the apocalypse; I hoard podcasts.
Anyway, keep your fingers crossed that Retronauts will be able to continue as usual. Don't worry, though; even if air travel is banned for a while, we'll still make this thing work!—Jeremy
