Final Fantasy Tactics Analysis (Ep.4): Chapter 3 | State of the Arc Podcast

Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey isn’t just a sci-fi classic—it’s a cinematic milestone that changed the language of film. In this video, we break down the film’s mysterious symbolism, groundbreaking visuals, and philosophical questions about evolution, technology, and humanity’s place in the universe.

Whether you’re a film buff, a philosophy nerd, or a JRPG fan who spotted the Xenogears influence a mile away, this deep dive is for you!

Kubrick’s Mind-Bending Masterpiece, Explained  2001 A Space Odyssey  State of the Arc Podcast

In its opening moments, Suikoden II plunges you into a war-torn world where childhood friendships are shattered and impossible choices must be made. Underscored by Miki Higashino’s masterful soundtrack, it promises a journey filled with heartbreak, betrayal, and a desperate struggle for peace.
This isn’t just another retro RPG — it’s a deeply personal tale about the cost of conflict, the bonds that define us, and the tragic paths we walk in the name of power. Suikoden II’s emotional weight and unforgettable characters have cemented its place in the rich history of the PlayStation library. Today, we dive into what makes this classic resonate so deeply, even 26 years later.

Vivi Finally Gets ANGRY | FF9 Analysis

Gear up for this SPOILER filled review of Death Stranding 2!

Death Stranding 2 Review [SPOILERS]

Princess Garnet has been locked up everywhere she has gone, and doesn't feel like she has much control over her life. That may be about to change.

We go from Kuja's prison, through Oeilvert through to the point at which we can finally fly in an airship! This is Final Fantasy IX at its peak.

What Is The Point Of Remakes?

Final Fantasy 11 has an incredible soundtrack that has too often been overlooked.

The Music of Final Fantasy XI | State of the Arc Podcast

Final Fantasy 12 has some devastatingly beautiful music, and only one single song on the entire soundtrack was written by Nobuo Uematsu. The rest was done by Hitoshi Sakimoto, with some additional contributions by Masaharu Iwata. While we all miss Nobuo Uematsu, Hitoshi Sakimoto absolutely nailed it on this soundtrack. It's incredible! Mike and Casen come out of this episode with an even higher opinion of this OST and a greater excitement to dive back into the game in the possibly near future....
