Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to another Monday and another episode of The Downpour Podcast!
On the show this week: a little less news, but a little more site content to discuss! Have you gotten your votes in for READER’S PICK: Vote for the Top 10 Game Boy Advance Games You Want on Wii U Virtual Console yet, for example?
After some business, Jonathan, Jared and Randy have a decent discussion about Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete. Tune in for some history that goes a tad beyond what they discussed during the Final Fantasy Roundtable from a while back—but be careful of spoilers for Advent Children during the talk!
In games: Randy and Jared talk at length about Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. Has Randy been enjoying the game, even after his review has gone live? How does Jared feel about it? Also: Jonathan’s been experiencing Pokémon in more and different ways than one might imagine. Last but not least, there’s talk of the new Strider game on the back-end.
This week’s special guest is Joe Walker, a big fan of retro gaming who happens to be the same guy as the one you’ll find in The Backlog with Joe Walker. Our interview, focused on finding the good in games, starts at 1:13:22 and runs ‘til 1:55:28.
Here’s the latest episode of The Backlog to help whet your appetite.
And in the anime section, enjoy some talk about The Wind Rises and Miyazaki. How will his retirement affect the future of 2D animation as we know it?
