JRPGs (Part 2): FFVIIR FREVR

Today on Never Was A Gamer: what did Final Fantasy 7 Remake teach us about JRPGs? 

NOTE: This is a really fun episode, but Michelle has some thoughts on the Corneo Mansion scene that require a content warning (CW) for discussions of sexual violence involving drugging, transmisogyny, and homophobia. It's at the very end of the episode, after the score, and it's clearly marked and introduced in the pod, so we hope you will dip out after the score (around 1.22.00) if you need to avoid those topics today.  xo
