Nadia and Alex are joined by Hayes Madsen, (RPG Site, An Evening At The Inn, Strange Scaffold) to discuss The Blood of Dawnwalker and the upcoming FFXIV Expansion Evercold!
The Blood of Dawnwalker - not since Majora’s Mask has time management been so immersive. Nadia, Alexi, and Hayes discuss what could be described as the first “Witcher-like”. Thoughts discussed:What is a main quest if everything feels significant?
Are animals repulsive to Vrakhiri, or is it the other way around?
Would the DSA approve of the Manumits?
Where in Svartrau can Nadia and Alexi find their ancestors?
In the world of FFXIV we discuss our excitement over new classes, subtle Square crossovers, and Evangelion -impact- on the game.

Eric, Victor, and Nadia are joined by Michael Higham to discuss Final Fantasy Resonance!
A new Final Fantasy is here, and it's a reheat of an old Final Fantasy! Resonance is a repacking of the first season of Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, the now-shuttered mobile game. Similar to Octopath Traveler 0, Resonance gives an HD-2D visual overhaul and a general zhuzh to the ingredients present.We also memorialize BioWare, which Electronic Arts shut down earlier this week.

This week, Victor and Nadia run through the highlights of this year's State of Play, including an array of JRPGs, one of which (Rhapsody in Scarlet) surrounds 1920's jazz-era NYC with a key missing ingredient; Crimson Desert DLC, Monsters, (both the Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, and Dragon Quest Withering World variety,); and Final Fantasy VII: Revelation!
Speaking of FF, Victor gives us the rundown on Final Fantasy Resonance.

Notas del episodio
It's finally here; your two-and-a-half-hour-long extra-special episode all about Final Fantasy and its intersection with the world of fashion.
From the billowing garments of Yoshitaka Amano to the workwear-inspired looks of Tetsuya Nomura to the dresspheres of Tetsu Tsukamoto to casual street fits of Miki Tamashita and as much in-between as we could fit in this episode.
I'm joined by THE Japanese street fashion guru Reggie Casual to pick his brain about the symbiotic relationship between fashion and Final Fantasy and the uniquely Japanese approach to style that makes it all possible. And my promise to you is that in an entire episode about Nomura we don't make a hack joke about zippers and belts because we're better than that.
Truly this is one of my favourite episodes I've ever done and if you enjoy it a fraction as much as I enjoyed making it it'll all be worth it. It's also available in video form with helpful visual aids over on our youtube channel! Check it out!
And check out Reggie's channel, The Casual, for more on the world of Japanese fashion, how to learn how to dress, and so much more.

We're answering burning questions to distract us from the heat of the Summer. Like when you really hurt yourself so you hurt another part of you but a little less to distract yourself. I had dental surgery earlier this week so I'm thinking about pain a lot.

"It was the best of times and everyone was like, 'this rules'" or however the book goes.
This week, Eric, Nadia, Victor, and special guest Kevin Bunch are reflecting on what the best years for RPGs were, with the rules surrounding that discussion evolving in real time. Is it something in the late 90s for the sheer quantity of interesting, experimental RPGs, is the year Persona 5 single-handedly invented jazz and made JRPGs good again, or is it 1994 for being the year Final Fantasy VI came out.

We're going to the only place where people can agree on what an RPG is... SPACE!
Victor and Nadia, with a little help from the listeners, discuss their favourite RPGs set in space, RPGs that feature space stages, and RPGs that feature space travel regardless of how much of the game is played in the void of space. Three very important distinctions. All that and pretty much just that on this out-of-this-world episode of Axe of the Blood God. Except we don't discuss the game Out of This World because we all agree, not an RPG.

Victor is back from Final Fantasy XIV Fan Fest in Anaheim and he brought a lot of thoughts and even more interviews from listeners, friends of the show, friends of himself, and new friends! Look forward to appearances from Harper Jay, Fusionx, CrystAAHHL, and many more! It's an honourary episode of Sharlayan Dropouts as Victor and Nadia discuss what they're excited about from the announcements of EverCold, and why the Blood God has the best community around. Look, I know the sound on this one might be off in some spots; I made a lot of work for myself. But I hope you can forgive some sound quality for what I think is a wonderful cross-section of our community. I had a wonderful time making this episode and I hope you enjoy listening whether you're a Final Fantasy XIV or XI player or not.
