Phantasy Star IV | E30: Perfect Cosmic Horror [Finale]
This is it! Now we determine Algo's future... our future! Before we sleep in peace, we'll be jumping into the hole, replicating a sick 1994 screensaver, appreciating an efficient end game dungeon, fighting differently colored jobbers, producing a disgusting sound, inventing Lavos, predicting a god-christ form, blowing it all at once, breathing in sword dust, entering a protective bubble, speculating the genesis of Phantasy Star V, demanding a hopeful ending, saying everyone's name, and deciding to stay home. And now the curtain rises on a new age. Join us next week for season nine: Skies of Arcadia. 00:00:00 Is This it 00:01:01 Intro 00:03:09 The Edge 00:09:45 The Profound Darkness Phase I 00:16:07 The Profound Darkness Phase II 00:18:15 The Profound Darkness Phase III 00:20:37 Victory 00:28:49 A More Promising Future 00:34:54 Epilogue 00:38:57 Staff Roll 00:46:39 Real Net Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

Phantasy Star IV | E29: Lifeforms Around the Hole [Planetary Tour]
Wouldn't I be of some help to you? It wouldn't hurt to listen to us talking about taking party members to new planets, auditioning the fifth friend, "holding space" for a suicide pill, pinning the latest civilizational blight on the Black Energy Wave, rockin' with Raja, performing the inaugural Sad Battle, beating up my dead mentor, wailing and lamenting for an illusion, refusing to seek the power in an obvious test of morality, thinking of the biggest hole, making Only Fans content, and talking to dead people. Done-in people. I'm not going to be a nuisance. 00:00:00 Fun Factor 00:01:36 Intro 00:03:05 Motavia Spaceport Greetings 00:09:20 The Fifth Party Member 00:14:23 Anger Tower 00:27:22 WORLD TOUR Piata 00:33:02 WORLD TOUR Piata Academy 00:36:17 WORLD TOUR Krup 00:36:40 WORLD TOUR Tonoe 00:37:15 WORLD TOUR AIEDO 00:37:46 WORLD TOUR Monsen 00:38:06 WORLD TOUR Mile 00:40:31 Real Net Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

Phantasy Star IV | E28: I'm Not Gonna Fight for No Mission! [Rykros, Part II]
But what use is an invisible planet? It's not like material planets could aid us in realizing the lore is a Piccolo Situation, sealing off dimensions, returning a secret planet every 1000 years, referencing other ages of heroes, determining who/what has been "born," refusing to accept reality, realizing our hero is out over his skis, depending on Chaz to fight, rejecting an order from god, accessing Luts' memory piece-meal, meeting another talking sword, referencing past protagonists, and creating a future free of terror. To tell you the truth, I don't know what's going on. 00:00:00 XCOM 2 00:02:27 Intro 00:04:20 The Age of Fables 00:33:59 Esper Mansion 00:37:18 Elsydeon 00:43:55 Dezolis Spaceport 00:44:58 Real Net 00:51:02 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

Phantasy Star IV | E27: Inching Into the Gnosticism Zone [Rykros, Part I]
It looks like we're really free from any problems now. And yet we still find ourselves fondly recalling Syphon Filter, completing phase 2 of the Reshel Revival, confusing asteroids with islands, marveling at fluorescent alien geography, hiding a planet for a thousand years, stirring the hand of darkness toward a planet, orbiting like a comet, getting a fetch quest from god, feeling trapped in inventory hell, watching jobbers get blown away, submitting protector qualifications, and receiving jewelry that appears to be named after planets. Beloved ones, I await your return. 00:00:00 What's Up Dog 00:03:27 Intro 00:07:50 Reshel Revisted 00:14:27 Heading to Rykros 00:18:09 Silence Temple Tower 00:27:21 Rykros World Map 00:29:08 Strength Tower 00:39:41 Courage Tower 00:43:03 Return to Silence Temple Tower 00:43:58 Real Net 00:49:39 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

Phantasy Star IV | E26: Consequences All Over the Place [Silver Solider, Soldier's Temple]
The things we do seem to have consequences all over the place. One day, we will pay for the sins of slaughtering servants, traumatizing the traumatized kids with robots, blowing up mermen, getting behind the circuit, indiscriminately destroying all AI systems, realizing Rune does not acknowledge computer guys, deleting life, arguing with computer daughter, meeting a curious late game party member, lighting the path to Rykros, transforming the badguy into a bad guy, stealing Sonic 2 sound effects, and wondering if you can be a scenario guy ignorant of the scenario. There is a fundamental error in your self awareness. 00:00:00 Banned Words 00:02:11 Intro 00:03:30 Guild Quest: Silver Soldier 00:04:58 Back To Zema 00:09:40 Vahal Fort 00:31:14 Return to Zema 00:34:13 Who The Hell Is Seth 00:38:15 The Soldier's Temple 00:41:18 Aeroprimsers 00:50:54 Real Net 00:54:25 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

Phantasy Star IV | E25: Head Honcho [Guild Quests]
My son is convinced that he is going to die. But you, you must live and listen to us cleaning a dirty kitchen, making wild assumptions about rice farming, comparing geographical educations, eatin' up fields, getting ate up (personally), locating porn on the bookshelf, further developing Hunters Are A Joke theory, demanding a toy sword to cure a fake illness, realizing the non-humans are the most human, deeming a large bird to be a Head Honcho, loving big bird butt, eating over one thousand birds, and enacting a flawed bird conspiracy. I had no idea you guys would be so strong. 00:00:00 Hot Button Turnaround 00:01:45 Intro 00:03:17 Dirty Pitstop 00:05:00 Guild Quest: Dying Boy 00:07:42 Exploding Torinco 00:16:56 Torinco Houses 00:22:45 Imagined Sickness 00:31:37 Guild Quest: Man With Twist 00:47:16 Real Net 00:50:24 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

Phantasy Star IV | E24: I Want to Know About Rick Ross [Gumbious Tower, Guild Quests]
If you're happy, try everything. Everything we tried to make us happy includes getting close to feet, seeming downhearted, reducing the cost of sleeping, refusing an apology, not wanting to get involved, assaulting a temple with powerful waves of pure hate, owing thanks to a bishop, suppressing Rykros information, receiving a free speedboat from our girlfriend, shipping a three way, embracing happiness, pretending to hate our idiot daughters, spending our youth in prison, and ripping off Sailor Moon. This is no time for niceties. 00:00:00 Becoming A Father 00:02:05 Intro 00:05:05 WORLD TOUR Esper Mansion 00:09:00 WORLD TOUR Jut 00:15:44 WORLD TOUR Motavia 00:17:01 Return to Gumbious Temple 00:27:01 Return to Motavia 00:30:39 Guild Quest: Stain in Life 00:32:28 Exploring Uzo 00:39:11 Jail Girls 00:49:39 Real Net 00:52:38 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com
