| 11 Nov 2024 | Lunar: Silver Star Story | E2: Turd-Smoking Coward [Development & Localization, Part II] | 01:18:14 | |
We’re still talking about the Lunar before we play it. You know what that means: we’re altering game code for the reality of commerce, smoking turds like a coward, slandering Shannen Doherty, dubbing in dubious farts, artificially adjusting the difficulty, cringing at the worst magazine ad of all time, giving away a demo disc, choosing kindness over grittiness, giving in to the astonishment of holograms and paper stock, learning about Fan Art Edition, finding Lunar through internet friends, and getting fat-phobic, drunk, and S.C.R.O.T.A.L. The regular, eternal flow of the show starts next week! We promise! 00:00 Objects of Power | 01:45 Intro | 03:09 Working Designs, Part II | 21:28 Cut/Adjusted Content | 27:14 Promotional Media | 34:16 Contemporary Reviews | 41:28 Physical Media | 50:16 Hacks & Mods | 52:25 Memories | 01:04:48 What We’re Playing | 01:06:15 Counts | 01:08:24 Real Net | 01:13:03 Outro

| 06 Mar 2020 | Season 1 Trailer [Xenogears] | 00:05:30 | |
Retrograde Amnesia is a comprehensive discussion show where we re-live a classic JRPG -- chapter by chapter, beat by beat. We delve into the story, dialogue, game mechanics, music, influences, and themes. Through these conversations, we re-experience our lost memories of treasured classics and discover why these stories have become so precious to us and so many others. Season 1 covers Xenogears (1998). | |||
| 03 Aug 2020 | Xenogears E45: Exegesises on Crucifixes [Promised Land + Waiting Death] | 01:01:02 | |
Girl, that hurt. Today we're crucifying machines and Chu-Chu, negotiating with Krelian, finding our precious birds, doing sick combos, doing even sicker combos, doing the sickest combos, listening to Omen, wondering why we were left alive, deleting digital existence, looking fleshly, aligning pronouns with nanomachines, not going to Cracker Barrel, refusing to listen to reason, and blaming my problems on my girlfriend. Your feelings must be in the right place. That is strength. 00:58 - Intro Find us on Patreon at www.patreon.com/retroam, on Twitter at @retroamnesiapod and through e-mail at retrogradeamnesiapodcast@gmail.com. | |||
| 06 Mar 2025 | Suikoden | E66: War Touches Everyone [The Legacy, the Remaster, and Aidan Moher's New Book] | 01:26:38 | |
Surprise! We’re back to season four with a very special 66th episode. We’re joined by Aidan Moher to discuss his upcoming book on Suikoden and Suikoden II and listen to some of Aidan’s thoughts on Suikoden I&II HD Remaster. In finer detail, that includes: accepting Suikoden pronunciations, measuring Suikoden’s place in RPG history, wondering if RPG sequels have a place in today’s game space, exiting battles in five seconds, filling a world with life and activity, totaling the cost of violence, interpreting Suikoden differently as adults, comfortably adjusting to sprite changes, making questionable decisions about what to remaster and what to leave behind, failing a background check, experiencing existential dread in a remastered Pizza Hut, smoothing out some legends of localization, and remaining true to piss. You must still Determine or Cancel. Find Aidan and his work at: 00:00:00 Intro | |||
| 06 Jan 2020 | Xenogears E15: The Only Toilet in the Ignas Continent [Gear Dock Raid] | 00:52:21 | |
We live in a new room. It has a playlist of one song. It never stops. We're also talking about Kislev's strength-based merit system, meeting a new candidate for Best Doctor, receiving advice from a toilet nun, interpreting Kislev's iconography, sending Rico's brain to hell, shutting Hammer up, jumping on a moving train without committing suicide, and being amused by Fei's resolve to "just go wild." Fei denies he cares about Rico but due to classic male insecurity he cannot admit he cares about Rico. Just like me.

| 31 Jul 2023 | Suikoden II E40: Fully Destiny-Pilled [Retaking Muse] | 01:10:07 | |
It makes my heart soar like an eagle to see your face again. Hear our voices again as we’re debating pregnancy, switching Greenhill’s music, loving a lady like a sister, locating some lost clay, reuniting the musical trio, recruiting another cave-dwelling misanthrope, reuniting the two best dandy fops ever made, saving Pesmerga for last, living by the way of a level 14 sword, containing truth inside of lies, marching the troops outta here, listening to Jowy’s idiot plea to run away, cleansing the stain of defeat, telling girls what they look like, letting some of our guys get eaten by magic wolves, and seeking the Third Impact. Our friendship is what’s truly precious. 00:00 Star Wars Hotel | 03:48 Intro | 05:31 Pico | 13:41 Jude | 19:05 Alberto | 20:42 Mazus | 23:59 Vincent | 29:36 Pesmerga | 33:14 Genshu | 38:46 Ninja Village | 40:24 Muse Invasion Meeting | 43:40 Jowy’s Gambit | 51:50 Major Battle: Liberating Muse | 54:23 Golden Wolves | 01:00:41 Real Net | 01:03:03 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| 28 Oct 2019 | Xenogears E5: Additional Ominous Banter [Desert Attack] | 00:45:08 | |
Hi. Before spending an entire episode on Xenogears' Desert Attack chapter, we inventory the accumulation of foreshadowing and its primary distribution method, Citan Uzuki. We go on to debate the logistical fallacies of Grahf's costume, spin our propeller-hats at Citan's conversation with "Emperor," and meet a surely band of sand pirates. We must find god's resting place and resurrect him. That is our final prayer. 00:22 - Intro Find us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroAM, on Twitter @retroamnesiapod, and through e-mail at retrogradeamnesiapodcast@gmail.com. | |||

Hello and welcome to Infinite Perfect, a new periodic Retrograde Amnesia podcast series built to assemble the devastating anecdotal happenstance that connects one of the hosts to their favorite games.

| 12 Dec 2022 | Suikoden II E7: Eat This Medicine [White Dear Inn & Muse] | 00:58:15 | |
It’s medicine. Eat it. While we decide what’s most dear about this, we’re being denied entry to Muse, winding up at an inn in the woods, absorbing the ravings of a treasure obsessed husband, helping find treasure to get an entry permit, collecting shapes, placing those shapes in holes to open doors, fearing Mr. Venus, engaging a nifty contraption, slaughtering a two-headed snake, throwing away an herb, finding our wife passed out on the floor, reviving her with that fated herb, role-playing away our idiot plan, becoming incarcerated again, waxing about the past, and telegraphing the fall of a hero. Don’t talk to me over-familiar, got it? 00:00 The Best PS3 Game | 01:58 Intro | 04:00 Muse City Gate | 06:19 White Deer Inn | 10:25 White Deer Morning | 13:35 Alex: Raving Lunatic | 17:45 Sindar Ruins | 29:42 Treasure of Dreams | 35:33 Hilda Crisis | 41:55 The Muse Permit Gambit | 45:10 Muse Jail | 47:12 Full Moon Reflections | 52:52 Real Net | 54:44 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

You kids are wack. And our hearts are content as we’re wondering if Mel took Meribia by force, placating the masses, lying to children, having a big dream, entering Dross negotiations, partying till we puke, knowing dragons are real, practicing swordsmanship, seeing our shoes under her bed, inventing meteorology, foreshadowing the necessity of magic, gender coding Luna to clean things, freaking out over a wig, and meeting a an ominous fortune teller. You’re a magician now. 00:00 Miniseries 6 Winner

| 17 Jun 2024 | Final Fantasy Tactics E10: The Most Religious Man Available [Zaland Fort City] | 01:05:37 | |
Those who live by deceit are the first to die by it. Those who listen to this episode will hear tales of jumping in first-person, rescuing a pony-tailed squire, blinging the magic rocks, climbing walls and talking shit, bringing a gun to a wizard fight, realizing we’re in Final Fantasy XII’s future, losing patience with Mustadio, finding Christ without a crucifixion, creepin’ on some ladies, blowing grass, wishing for no quarrel, leaving us wroth, soiling our names, coddling the boy, sipping villainously, and wondering if Agrias is lost in the sauce. Ramza’s brain is discolored. 00:00 El Fira | 02:55 Intro | 03:58 Castle City Zaland | 13:46 Dank Room Meeting | 24:07 Propositions | 25:50 Ovelia’s Worries | 34:00 Battle Notes | 41:25 Balias Tor | 44:56 Eagrose Castle Solar | 54:26 Real Net | 01:01:35 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| 10 Jul 2023 | Suikoden II E37: The Sin of Tricking Me [Neclord and Not Running Away] | 01:08:27 | |
Now is the time to destroy the demon. As we reset reality, we’re declining the temptation of abdication, breaking our sister, following orders into hell, acting on bad information, soft-locking inside Gustav’s house, tunneling with Neclord, stating the need to seal a soul, shipping Sierra and Klaus, tricking promising youngsters, hating the self that cannot die, ethically sucking off, assembling a golem out of sprites, cutting a promo on Neclord, confirming Jesus, lamenting the zombies’ effect on local commerce, and witnessing Jess accept humility. The sin of tricking me is a heavy one. 00:00 Season 5 Update | 02:09 Intro | 03:24 No, Nanami | 05:00 Jess: Idiot | 11:46 Mine Accident? | 16:44 Crom & Kahn | 21:14 Tigermouth & Sierra | 27:44 Crom Meeting | 35:10 Abandoned Mine | 41:47 Neclord: Showdown | 53:24 Post-Neclord | 01:00:39 Real Net | 01:06:36 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| 12 Apr 2021 | Chrono Cross 26: Fluid of the Eyes [Surprise Attack!!!] | 00:49:44 | |
The ground here is hot. This time we’re confronting Radius with Radius, rubbing a child’s head, getting in a real time turn based fight, boarding the reflection bridge, churning resolution from flashbacks, putting everyone in this game in our party, reflecting our image on the mirror of truth, finding out Marcy is nine fucking years old, hearing Harle’s plot legends, telling space aliens about tears, solving snake statue puzzles, and finding the true bastards. The ground here has cooled down. 01:35 Intro | 04:06 Plotat Hermit’s Hideaway | 11:49 Surprise Attack! | 16:30 Aboard the S.S.

| 20 Dec 2021 | Final Fantasy VIII 22: Alien in the Basement [Return to Balamb Garden, Part II] | 00:58:42 | |
I sent my students to kill my wife. And yet, we’re eliminating symbiotic organisms, transforming our school into our car, admiring the balcony vista, setting out to open sea, thinking too much, half-assing a tour of our school, experiencing retrograde amnesia, making a boyfriend promise, losing our temper, delivering our report to NORG, revealing a surprise marital connection, and murdering a capitalist overlord. It’d be heartbreaking to know I was forgotten. 01:12 Intro | 04:03 Mobile Structure Garden | 14:41 Squall’s Mind Prison | 16:22 Rinoa’s Garden Tour | 24:36 Solo Garden Exploration | 33:09 Garden Level B1 | 37:52 NORG | 51:39 Real Net | 55:38 Outro Find us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroAM, on Twitter at @retroamnesiapod and through e-mail at podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com. | |||
| 09 Oct 2023 | Xenosaga | E7: A Finitely Bound Realm [Gnosis Attack, Part III] | 00:56:56 | |
KOSMOS has the capacity for being sassy. We don’t, but we’re debating the rules of Gnosis-touching, engaging the Hilbert Effect, cutting sausage goblins, fiddling with the menus, demanding our deaths mean something, wondering of Asimov’s laws of robotics apply here, death rattling “Feb,” once again seeking god in the machine, typing on the computer while the world ends, wondering when physicality came back to games, reporting in to a Scenario Guy, laughing like Bryan Fury, and riding an escape pod doggystyle. Your life has meaning. Death does not. 00:00 Intro | 02:57 KOSMOS Enters the Chat | 14:51 Woglinde Evacuation | 21:18 Zohar Hangar Showdown | 24:45 Post-Virgil | 38:27 Still Evacuating | 40:51 Woglinde Explodes | 45:14 Real Net | 51:29 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| 02 Oct 2023 | Xenosaga | E6: Baphomet Feet [Gnosis Attack, Part II] | 01:05:50 | |
The company says we can’t free the slaves. While you’re in our company, we’re pounding human meat into bloody shit, violating privacy agreements, sucking a Gnosis out the airlock, dying like it’s our job, moving randomly, citing divine intervention, running around like an idiot, looting a dead man’s key, going awol during battle, going down with the ship, faking death to escape death, suffering fuel Eric explosives, citing facts and logic as we kill fake real people, and resigning from life with a whimper. Oh well, I’m going to die anyway. 00:00 Zohar: The Book of Splendor | 02:05 Intro | 03:34 Gnosis Attack | 08:15 KOS-MOS Wakes Up | 15:53 Surviving The Woglinde | 20:18 Shion & Virgil | 32:47 Gnosis Attack More | 40:14 Zohar Chamber Evac | 42:45 Shion & Virgil II | 59:14 Real Net | 01:03:13 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

We need a boat. Today we’re digging through the rubble at Viper Manor, feigning ignorance, wondering if plumbing has been invented, appreciating dynamic light sources, blowing any chance at deception, learning about the Dead Sea, getting an awful boat, acquiring a baby talking baby dragon, absorbing Guldovian trade ethics, getting depressed across dimensions, breathing underwater, schooling fish, fighting and befriending a space alien, and ripping a laser gun out of a fish. Dragons have small arms. They can’t build shit. 01:08 Intro | 03:20 Viper Manor | 09:21 Hello, Norris | 19:16 Gotta Get Draggy | 27:13 Guldove Home World | 35:18 El Nido Triangle | 39:08 Gotta Get Starky | 47:38 Arni’s Alien Gun | 51:18 Real Net | 52:24 Outro Find us on Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/retroAM, on Twitter at @retroamnesiapod and through e-mail at :retrogradeamnesiapodcast@gmail.com. | |||
| 06 May 2024 | Final Fantasy Tactics E4: For Want of Coin [Igros Castle] | 00:50:57 | |
Mayhap your ears not fail you. For, if they do, you wouldn’t hear us telling the same stories, loving our brave lads, creating a time paradox, seeking justice for a waylaid marquis, hunting down a whoreson, shitting into Argath’s mouth, being assigned to guard the base, chatting on a thinking bridge, throwing a rock into a pond, bursting a sister’s seam, putting a spy with the enemy, honeying some words, blowing an ominous wind, and chancing upon Final Fantasy monsters in the wood. Mind your own limits, you can’t be responsible for everything. 00:00 Intro | 03:10 God Smack 2 | 08:18 Eagrose Castle | 15:22 Argath’s Chip | 18:53 Family Business | 29:02 Shopping | 32:33 The Siedge Weald | 38:53 Real Net | 43:51 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Rockin, I knew you’d come. This time we’re taking stock of the Zelbess, becoming semi-permanent felines, hurting our back, observing a remorseful pirate, sneaking through a crow’s nest, learning about the power of song, disabling cheaters, confronting Father, falling into a monster fighting pit, stalking a sage, clearly telegraphing a magic concert, recruiting a magician, and befriending a mermaid.

I don’t wash my hands, so I’m always hungry. Come along with us on a fantastic fart voyage while we’re reeking of fish, becoming the Orca, leaning of Luna’s reputation, filching a chicken, encountering the beastmen, noticing the absence of lore outside of the Four Heroes, hinting at a race war, cruising for a bruising, speaking without dentures, lacking sufficient statistics, offering edible toe cheese, getting drunk off of smells, losing a coin toss, discovering it was all rigged, and missing a secret Laike. If you see the captain, will you tell him he’s a moron? Thanks. 00:00 Intro | 02:57 Surveying Saith | 14:38 Saith Buildings | 42:20 Gamblin’ | 50:55 Real Net | 58:42 Outro

The bigger you get, the stronger you’ll be. As we widen, we’re meeting men of the sea, getting a reference, keeping the children toasty, using a Gameshark to time travel, recruiting a well-informed old lady, getting robbed by a flying child, hiring an idiot armorer, tasting meunière, observing black water, swallowing warm fish heads, overloading on puns in the dog village, finding respect for Gengen, and speculating the nature of foul pie contents. They wouldn’t trust you much if you were with a hoodlum like me. 00:00 Intro | 04:00 Lakewest | 12:41 Clive Incident #2 | 17:14 Taki | 21:51 Tetsu’s House | 25:46 Two Rivers | 35:39 Winger Zone | 45:00 Kobold District | 53:51 Real Net | 57:57 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

If you're lying, they’ll kill you. In our search for truth, we exploring cop land, blowing off a mustache, refusing to sing a song, abandoning our milk slinging duties, rejecting army recruiters, filling Kent’s head with dragon fantasies, beating up a harpy, listening to a tremendous beating of wings, finally hearing about Lord TcDohl, finding a big egg in a gravy pool, christening Bright, helping Miklotov remain inconspicuous, forcing while resisting, debating clockwork knights, and preparing to enter Muse.

Man, you look way too serious. As the world ends, we’re reaching max level, reading Selphie’s Laguna webpage, breaking down the couch cars, meeting the President, being called a faerie, performing calisthenics at critical plot points, staying on a boat for ten years, flashing back to Laguna’s rebellion, outwitting a sorceress, sending our problems to space, working too much to visit my dead wife, sending our body to the future, concocting a plan to visit the future in the past, believing in our friends’ existence, and learning it’s all about love, friendship, and courage.

Welcome to the rat cellar. A beating has loosened our tongues, allowing us the chance of identifying the wrong song, speaking false to a knight, getting a guy muddy, discovering an actual Dune reference, endlessly reviving Ramza, employing an ineffective mage, configuring the proper Post Up, beating up prisoners, bearing a ribald tongue, filling different radicalization meters, wishing to end the aristocracy, pulling off one last job, arguing over the necessities of a rebel army, speaking our fill, and trading one life for another.

We are all but puppets, dancing as they pull our strings. You are all but listeners, frolicing as we’re taking shelter from the rain, meeting with an outland mage, being honest about forbidden knowledge, refusing to be a puppet, wishing no more need of tears, excavating at the mines, delivering job reports, falling out of Mana Secrets, recruiting a juvenile game hunter, buying freedom with blood, slaughtering deserters, appearing on a handbill for heresy, justifying infinite war, adopting a son in law, and making our first real friend.

| 09 Sep 2024 | Final Fantasy Tactics E22: Wither Their Constitution [Bed Desert + Bethla Garrison] | 00:57:37 | |
Now there is a podcast I had not thought to find in these wastes! Bathe with us in the muck as we’re learning from Matsuno why Orators get guns, possessing powerful evidence of the church’s misdeeds, staying two steps ahead, acting as expected, dropping spores in the wind, respecting the constitution, only understanding transactional relationships, excusing Orlandeau from villainous plotting, picking the same wall, resisting the poison, double-gripping the stabby knife, hacking blood up all over ourselves, and merging the templars with the perverts. It was 27 years ago and I don’t remember the details. 00:00 Season 7 Winner | 01:43 Intro | 03:24 Paging Matsuno | 04:53 Outlying Church | 13:25 Beddha Sandwaste | 26:16 Conspirators Conspiring | 37:48 Fort Besselat | 40:16 Dycedarg Dices Larg | 50:31 Real Net | 53:21 Outro

Now, where does the real you exist? As we exist, we’re applying the rules of characters to our characters, sharing curry instead of a campfire, noting the lack of estrogen as applied to sexist stereotypes, sleeping with food, witnessing Allen go down in flames, crawling with mutants, directing eyeballs, throwing guns all over the bed, rubbing couches for secret items, potentially pulling a Shinji on a sleeping robot, killing everyone, firing an invisible arrow from an invisible bow, failing to execute the sleeping robot, capturing the Elsa’s screaming hole, exercising the habit of pulling a gun, and explaining how we’re definitely soldiers and we go where we’re told.

| 20 Sep 2019 | Xenogears 0: Expectations & Reality | 00:46:14 | |
In the pilot episode of Retrograde Amnesia, a podcast series covering Xenogears in exhaustive detail, we contextualize Xenogears in the professional (and our personal) climate of 1998. We clarify why we've decided to make this comprehensive podcast series, whether we expect Xenogears' themes and ideas to stand the test of time, and how to best play Xenogears with modern hardware. Episode Zero lets you decide whether this project is either a rationalization or an explanation of our devastating attentiveness to a twenty-one year-old videogame. Subsequent, proper podcast episodes will devour Xenogears chapter-by-chapter (and the recording quality greatly improves after episode two). Links & References: | |||

Dreams exist in the temporal vortex. 01:30 Intro | 02:59 Turnip | 11:20 Einlanzers | 15:40 Divine Dragon Falls | 17:05 Marbule 2.0 | 34:14 Hammer Time | 37:19 Janice | 41:14 Skelly & Viper | 47:20 Real Net | 50:40 Outro Find us on Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/retroAM, on Twitter at @retroamnesiapod and through e-mail at retrogradeamnesiapodcast@gmail.com. | |||
| 04 Apr 2022 | Final Fantasy VIII E37: I Wanted To Die in Space [Lunar Base, Part II] | 01:04:08 | |
Nobody ordered me to escape. Through the wineglass, we’re using our girlfriend as our therapist, cashing out our cards, receiving a ghost punch, breeding monsters on the moon, crying those monsters onto the planet, putting on a space suit, meeting a panicky space gentleman, opening a space tomb, shoving a cowboy into a sunroof, finding out what happened at the end of disc two, riding a handlebar elevator, playing the worst minigame of all time, and finding a secret space spaceship in space. Only then shall the sorceress provide you with dreams again. 01:55 Intro | 04:51 Ellone | 11:41 Rinoa’s Possessed | 14:56 Lunar Cry | 20:52 Rinoa Goes to Space | 26:33 Freeing Adel | 32:24 Rinoa Flashbacks | 42:11 Floating In Space | 50:00 Squall & Rinoa in Space | 55:52 Real Net | 59:26 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

A ball rolls onto the court. Today, on the baller’s field, we’re determining why the sorceress is the sorceress, enshrining Selphie in the party, questioning the use of violence, showing growth through command, shooting a free throw, gaslighting the whole party, becoming children, camping at the beach, hogging sis, misdirecting affection, forcing love, losing memories, forgetting pain, reframing the assassination attempt, being visited by the faeries, and telling Rinoa to come with us. The cowboy knew when the cogs of fate began to turn. 01:33 Intro | 04:38 Basketball Thoughts | 16:01 Irvine’s Revelation | 20:16 Connecting Dots | 29:35 Beach Confessions | 34:11 Retrograde Amnesia | 38:51 Matron | 50:08 Real Net | 55:41 Outro Find us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroAM, on Twitter at @retroamnesiapod and through e-mail at podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com. | |||

I have a lot to tell you, unless you don’t want to hear it. In which case I’ll understand. After we put a bullet in the head of Triple Triad, we’re identifying the father of the son, ramming Lunatic Pandora, parking our dragon at the base, quitting our jobs to go drink, telling my boy we’re not a posse, killing the unkillable friend, wandering away to get kidnapped, swapping in disc four, junctioning a person to another person, mugging our imperiled girlfriend, and falling through compressed time.

| 04 Nov 2019 | Xenogears E6: Institutionalized Brainwashing [Stalactite Cave] | 00:54:02 | |
Greetings! The wrasslin’ boys Fei and Bart have fallen Gear-first into a dank cave system. We discuss the contextually appropriate but questionably alive organisms down there before we run into your classic old-sage-in-a-cave, Balthazar. This prompts a dive into the influence of gnostic Christian texts, speculation on the creation myth metaphor, Xenogears' internal god-tier systems, and the tight grip on the pen that writes history. A man made god? Created with the wisdom of a god? Such a Gear would have the power of a thousand Gears. In a wave of its arm, it could destroy whole cities. Its battle cries would thunder in the heavens. 00:22 - Intro Find us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroAM, on Twitter @retroamnesiapod, and through e-mail at retrogradeamnesiapodcast@gmail.com. | |||

The dream is dead. On this episode we’re waking up in jail, suffering from dipshit separation syndrome, remaining oblivious to Ward warping, moving cells, kicking Zell, surrendering to a Mean Cop, meeting small monsters, stating an obvious definition, receiving electrocution, using magic in jail, readying missiles for launch, submitting to globalist SeeD paranoia, tricking prison guards, growing to super size, and beating up our beautiful boys.

Get up, stumblebut, we got jerkin’ off to do. Nope, sorry, wrong podcast. On this one we’re kink shaming a flying cat, valuing experiences over possessions, sleeping on a cot, marveling at the Meribian metropolis, questioning if turds are monsters or monsters are turds, wondering if Meribia is under mob rule, using a traveler’s cheque, role-playing with some kiddos, discovering a deliberate typo, citing inspiration from Playboy, and protecting every man’s right to be drunk and sexist. An extra hour of shore leave is the difference between getting drunk and getting arrested. 00:00 Drugs Chicken

What nonsense is this? Well, it’s an audio variety show where we’re playing Dycedarg’s theme for a meeting with Zalbaag, wondering if Zalbaag is dumb, failing to avoid Alma, proving truth words, fighting a heresy examiner, perverting into the Lucavi, profaning the gods, cutting a deal with Alma, rumoring Elmdore’s death, storing books underground, acquiring magic rocks to gain the people’s trust, making Alma guard the base, wishing we were born a man, assigning the universal mong theory, and getting deep into subterranean book storage.

To enter Season 6’s final episode is to bid goodbye to the light of day. If you accept, we’re referencing other Final Fantasies games in bullshit missions, letting someone else explore Midlight’s Deep, slaying the hell magician, fighting in fart gas, destroying more jobbers, bending knees to demons, trying to kickstart Virgo, wanting for blood, identifying the universal pervert endgame, sealing off the pervert portal, marveling at the airship graveyard, wearing thong for the ultimate battle, winning the game, gathering at a grave, and remaining pure of heart at the end.

| 17 Mar 2025 | Lunar: Silver Star Story | E20: It All Goes Back to Golgatha [Return to Magic Guild] | 01:03:03 | |
Screaming will achieve nothing. That's why we're speaking at normal volume about lamenting the loss of democracy, getting weirdly nationalist about fish and chips, committing to a Ghaleon bit, doubling down on menopause jokes, finding ourselves incarcerated, taking Luna to Golgotha, spitting up dots, wondering if mom’s soul has been poisoned, smelling the real mom, freeing a criminal, growing a backbone, eating lunch during class, telling the world Alex is not a criminal, and doubling down on feet stuff. Crap on a Krispy Kreme. 00:00:00 Naming Roses

| 01 Aug 2022 | Suikoden E10: The Power of the Science [Dwarf Vault & Pannu Yakuta] | 01:07:34 | |
God? There is no god in these modern times. As we seek to shatter the Burning Mirror, we’re discovering Kage is working both side’s case, stealing a root to prove our worthiness, getting beat up because we’re poor, solving an incredulous phone number puzzle, slaying Gigantis, commissioning a Firewind Cannon, delaying a proposal for dramatic effect, finally obtaining a map, idiotically submitting to a bounty, recruiting a talking dog, leaping into a full scale war, representing battlefield death with ascending angels, seeing the power of the science, resting with a lady, and surmounting the insurmountable. War is timing, and now is the time. 00:00 Intro | 04:50 Chief of the Dwarves | 08:19 Dwarf Vault | 15:56 Presenting the Water Root | 17:12 Elf Village Aftermath | 24:40 Kobold Village Confrontation | 33:22 Battle at Pannu Yakuta Castle | 45:20 Kwanda’s Fortress | 50:56 Kwanda Rosman | 55:47 Kwanda’s Fate | 01:01:31 Real Net | 01:04:31 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

We are bound by fate to ingest copious amounts of lore. This time we’re egging time on, initializing wormholes, doing a phase metastasis, staring into the sea, installing memories, radically dreaming of a different life, personifying Fate, braining mother, registering as arbiter, unfreezing a flame, listening to a villain speech, meeting an old friend, moonwalking, dying off, resurrecting geography, and eating each other.

For this reverse paradox we’re identifying sucking pouch technology, wearing SeeD clothes, learning arcane animal capture rules from Chocoboy, blowing a ChocoWhis, scattering chicobos, losing cards, defining the concept of Home, meeting Selphie’s Friend, developing whatever, reading about Ehrgeiz, drawing zombie from a graveyard, fixing a computer terminal, installing stuffed animal surveillance, and telling our deceased friends about a dream that came true.

Since we are risking everything, it’s a big gamble. Risk your time and listen to us rejecting a cruel unicorn’s thesis, peer pressuring Kiba into death, completing group math problems, receiving the divine power of destiny, yarring, merging for the kill, forging citizen soldiers, combining Capture The Flag with murder, invading Rockaxe Castle, double-ko’ing a battle, separating from the main party, suffering from Rune addiction, dodging bolts with critical input timing, forgiving signs with hungry friends, prioritizing the flag, and letting everyone console our weepy protagonist.

Cool, man. We cool men and a robot are socking a cheater in the gut, suffering a honker punch, getting duped by a lying treasure chest, allowing the fascists to pass through, teeming with the criminal element, moving drunk Kyle around the map, sleeping on a rock bed, building a jail in the basement, eating bugs, appreciating milfs, wondering if mountain fish is fresh, sashaying into a bedroom, smelling some sheets, reflecting people on mucus, becoming most entirely berserk and uncontrollable, and letting the brewskis run their course.

Can you shoot, gunner? After we wake in jail, we’re looking older and tougher, observing war’s effect on the citizens of Muse, holding on to a stranger’s contraband, feeling the bullets whiz by our face, becoming infantilized again, realizing Anabelle knows Genkaku, falling prey to idiot war schemes, conscripting a child to be a field medic, doing Anita’s bidding for a date, demanding access to make an accurate map, loving non-romantic romantic usage, watching teammates change clothes, and dressing up like our dead friends.

Show all the true soul of this imposter. Show your ears the tales of us demonstrating bravery, wearing underthings on the dome, prohibiting weapons at church, restoring memory with song, kidnapping singers for occult rituals, going Full Mom, predicting anime, desiring evil mommy punishment, blinging the dragon ring, passing back through the Cave of Trial, sorting through extended Sega CD events, and debuting the world’s finest Ghaleon impression. Brought to you by Michael “Rage” Hardy and James “Smarty” Cools. 00:00:00 Let’s Be Cops

| 06 Feb 2023 | Suikoden II E15: A Pest of a Man [Recruiting Shu] | 00:53:59 | |
Good morning. After we get out of bed, we’re entering a rich guy’s house, finding out he’s the worst kind of capitalist, failing to recruit him anyway, prostrating ourselves in front of him, finding a hard-boiled noir detective in the water margin, hearing of a risky trade, opening a plot debate, throwing a coin off a bridge, beating up a grown man, sifting through mud, and forging a much needed alliance. I already know what you want, but go ahead and tell me anyway. 00:00 ODE | 02:10 Intro | 03:58 Shu’s House | 11:24 Tavern | 16:01 Dandy Richmond | 19:00 Midnight Surprise | 23:09 Illicit Bridge Meeting | 27:26 Sluice Gate | 33:19 River Bank Scavenger Hunt | 36:32 Shu: Bastard | 42:01 Shu & Apple: Stars | 47:41 Real Net | 49:56 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| 18 Nov 2019 | Xenogears E8: Oblivious to the Dire Nature of Captivity [Operation Aveh + The Tournament] | 01:00:41 | |
Yes. This time we're exploring Aveh's capital, Bledavik, and plotting ways to bust Margie out of the prison she doesn't know she's in. We meet Ramsus, Miang, Shakhan, Vanderkaum, and an absolute wreck of a man who lives in the sewer. We wonder if gambling is the only human vice the stretches through time, speculate who's behind Dan's mysterious agency, and appreciate the interplay between fighting and sneaking. The best cure I ever came across for hangover was raw meat, and plenty of it. 00:37 - Intro Find us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroAM, on Twitter @retroamnesiapod, and through e-mail at retrogradeamnesiapodcast@gmail.com. | |||
| 06 Apr 2020 | Xenogears E28: Disagreeable Squirt [Sky City Shevat] | 01:20:56 | |
Let's not imagine things. It's not good for your heart. What's real is spilling beverages on podcast equipment, identifying 2018 lyrics in a 1998 song, appreciating Bart carrying plot points across time, squirting, collecting different shaded rocks, encountering Shevat's assemblage of ragtag rebels, parlaying with Chu-Chu's, turning yesterday’s tears into tomorrow's smiles, receiving all of the lore at Shevat Palace, blending our fake religion with Xenogears' real legends, getting gaslit by Yui, and meeting a 5x centenarian. The best part of this game can only happen if you have Bart with you. 00:40 - Intro Find us on Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/retroam, on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/retroamnesiapod, and through e-mail at retrogradeamnesiapodcast@gmail.com. | |||
| 12 Feb 2024 | Xenosaga | E25: The Christ for Robots [Attack on Kukai, Part I] | 01:04:50 | |
Well, it looks like we all managed to make it back. Now we’re relentlessly drawing a connection to Xenoblade 2, laughing through illusory worlds, existing in the subconscious, fighting energy with energy, vaporizing a gas giant, issuing the many worlds theory, pasting in a picture of space, disarming subconscious domain protection, denying a hug, earning a three-way, crying in a graveyard, giving Allen exclusive access to the future, passing out after the sex, showing feet, monologuing in bed, and reaching new depths of pity for Allen. This is Realians, let’s go. 00:00 Comics Zone | 02:54 Intro | 05:03 Green Tree Zone | 17:53 Space Theories | 22:20 Crucifixion | 26:44 KOSMOS Wakes Up | 29:46 Lapis’ Evidence | 33:00 Allen x Chaos | 39:44 Gaignun’s Office | 41:14 Shion Emotion | 44:31 Durandal Exploration | 52:55 Real Net | 01:00:06 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| 01 May 2020 | R4: Ridge Racer Type-4 Retrospective | 01:09:43 | |
And now, for something completely different. Released in North America on May 1st 1999, R4: Ridge Racer Type-4 closed a generation—and a millennium—with character and class. Namco’s signature racing series, once defined by its garish spectacle and manic energy, finally relaxed into a state of confident sophistication. This podcast is a complete retrospective on R4: Ridge Racer Type-4 written and narrated by Eric Layman.

| 16 Mar 2020 | Xenogears E25: Yoke, not Yolk [Ocean Floor] | 01:10:01 | |
Oh god. We're missing our dead friends, determining the info line on Chu-Chu, keeping pictures of our house in our house, numbing our fear of Reapers with booze, ratioing/radioing Grahf with Miang, spending a lot of time in hallways and staircases, computing some math problems, watching nanomachine colonies assume human form, organizing the hierarchy of conspirators, figuring out what "yoke" means, and meeting some new Elements. Religion can only be used for wrongdoing. Drunks love to fight. It's ruined now, like some empty and hollow dream. I'm right, and you're the fucker here. 00:46 - Intro Find us on Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/retroAM, on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/retroamnesiapod, and through e-mail at retrogradeamnesiapodcast@gmail.com. | |||
| 31 Jan 2022 | Final Fantasy VIII E28: Big Bad Rascal Content [Visiting Winhill and Defending Balamb] | 01:07:57 | |
You were just as attractive when you used to beat me up. On this instant anti-classic we’re witnessing a cow abduction, mistaking chicabos for ghosts, speaking with a cat, locating table flowers, getting trucked by a chocobo, judging drop-outs, repairing dangerous roads, exchanging a vase for a rock, re-losing Georgie, saving a child from a train, lying to gain entry, manipulating dialogue boxes, stealing cards from children, dunking on Zell in his room, drawing Pandemona, and beating up or rival’s friends. I’m looking for my feet. 02:03 Intro | 04:19 North Winhill Revisited | 15:36 South Winhill Revisited | 25:40 Timber Revisited | 29:36 Galbadia Area Revisited | 31:26 Occupied Balamb | 42:31 Big Bad Rascal Escape Plan | 44:41 Zell’s Room | 48:03 Tracking Down The Captain | 53:49 Fujin + Raijin | 01:05:50 Real Net | 01:05:37 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| 20 Apr 2020 | Xenogears E30: Bartweiser, The King of Gears [Protect Nisan!] | 01:25:08 | |
You're really acting absent-minded chu-day. This time we're listening to half the soundtrack, "burning ass" back to the Yggdrasil, committing to Chu-Chu, fighting on a stage set, collecting our thoughts on a bridge, not robbing an abandoned store, exploring an actual spaceship, using our ancestral eyes to open sacred doors, lamenting the mausoleum's whack-ass dungeon, deathblowing each other, bonding pilots with robots, flying saucers, suggesting clergymen should commit suicide, and controlling Gears with our brains. Peace to all of those who come here. Use this giant weapon to murder everything. 01:00 - Intro Find us on Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/retroAM, on Twitter at https://twitter.com/retroamnesiapod and through e-mail at retrogradeamnesiapodcast@gmail.com. | |||
| 22 Jun 2020 | Xenogears E39: Monotheism is Not on the Menu [Shevat's Move + Broken Ties] | 01:19:03 | |
Let's go, Fei. In this episode we're acting on Emperor Cain's directions, concluding managers are no longer needed, denying mental health issues exist, selecting Ramsus as our favorite tool, realizing we're our own subordinate, registering as tenants in the room of cowardice, using our girlfriend as brain armor, defining The Coward and The Bully, encasing dangerous friends in carbonite, participating in apologetic group therapy, dismissing logic lords, downgrading to Steel Giant, and reading Grahf's sorrow. Don't acknowledge me when I put my headphones on. 00:49 - Intro Find us on Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/retroAM, on Twitter at https://twitter.com/retroamnesiapod and through e-mail at retrogradeamnesiapodcast@gmail.com. | |||
| 29 Jan 2024 | Xenosaga | E23: The End Comes Beyond Kevin [Old Miltia, Part I] | 01:03:02 | |
Would you shut up for a second, I’m in the zone right now. Get in your zone as we’re speculating Gundam names, shulking to ourselves, requiring only scenario guys, alluding to Udo and Zohar(s), losing nukes, deepfaking a space battle, figuring out how to edit truth video, fetishizing a cyborg knockout, finding strength in gloves, spotting a cop at the craps table, equating thunder to Kevin trauma, leveling up in the dream, building robots from father, and killing platypus helicopters.

| 01 May 2023 | Suikoden II E27: Married, Knighted, and Blighted [Battle Against Kiba] | 00:56:11 | |
Content warning (sexual assault) from 22:29 to 25:46. I love a good challenge, it’s what keeps me going. As we go into battle with no strategy, we're respecting our opponents, alienating the dog race, getting married and knighted at the same time, recognizing the wine of fealty, poisoning a blood beverage, rearranging units, performing racism as a ruse, equating ceremonial decapitation to a waste of resources, accepting a lesser strategist, aging 56 years in 37 years, killing Barbara in the kitchen, identifying a Mortal Kombat crossover, and trying to stop the mortal peril of high-level chef competitions. To lead, you must first die in your mind. 00:00 Understand | 02:35 Intro |03:56 Kiba and Klaus, Round 1 | 09:20 Bad Habit | 12:02 Wedding-Regicide | 25:46 Shu’s New Plan | 29:30 Kiba and Klaus, Round 2 |35:46 Kiba, Klaus, Welcome To The Resistance | 45:10 Castle Exploration | 48:59 Real Net | 53:45 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| 10 Apr 2023 | Suikoden II E24: The Secret Beneath Her Lips [Matilda] | 01:04:59 | |
Whack to your heart’s content. After we pickle up, we get down to employing a new voice, founding and then quitting the Jeanies, losing sheep in the woods, picking up a healthy chick, depositing books in the library, checking suspicious characters, washing GenGen in a wooden basket, recruiting even more children, making one of them a groupie, telling my lunatic boss I want to marry his sister, beating the fuck out of hideous pastel elves, reacquiring Viki, establishing a base, submitting to another fascist, refusing to save innocent lives, and disobeying Knight Law. I have to see it with my own eyes. 00:00 Pickles | 02:37 Intro | 05:28 Jeane | 09:11 Yuzu | 14:46 HQ Check-In | 22:22 Teresa, Shin, Nina | 29:07 Jowy’s Gambit | 33:40 Team Meeting | 38:54 Path To Matilda | 46:21 Knights Into Knightdom | 49:09 Leknaat | 50:54 Gorudo vs Refugees | 59:27 Real Net | 01:02:52 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| 03 Oct 2022 | Suikoden E19: Another Ted Talk [Seek Valley] | 00:59:49 | |
We’ve had a rough time getting here, and we’re taking this stuff. Before that caper, we’re romanticizing a studio apartment, wondering if sleeping poison is really poison, foreshadowing the third ingredient, locating the final blacksmith, shattering sentient crystals, obtaining moonlight weed, sorting through another Ted dilemma, fading from existence, picking a big flower, encountering a sober emperor, excommunicating from dragon club, wishing Krin was dead, and deciding exactly one rich guy is honorable. I never thought I’d run into a flower thief on a sleepless night. 00:00 Intro | 03:34 The Joshua Negotiation | 11:46 Seek Valley | 17:41 Ted & Windy | 25:55 Dragon Knight’s Fortress Regroup | 27:07 Futch’s Big Adventure | 31:21 Futch Fallout | 38:45 Krin & Kasumi | 40:24 Taggart | 44:18 Mace | 47:16 Real Net | 52:26 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

| 05 Jul 2021 | Chrono Cross 38: Daughter Moon Dot Com [Terra Tower] | 01:00:23 | |
It is your will to choose destruction. This time, I guess, we’re beating up sentient jelly, cheesing out with the Grandream, enduring a sadness wave, visiting ethereal Viper Manor, listening to the sage of reason, chatting up the Chrono Kids, ignoring sonic hints, getting blown, seeing Mothership, and mining additional unique dialogue. Chris is recreationally echoing because of a production boner, it’s not a bit. 01:06 Intro | 03:01 Terra Tower | 17:07 Pyrotor | 20:53 Belthesar | 34:30: Anemotor | 37:00 Luxator / Gravitor | 44:30 Unique Character Dialogue Omnibus | 56:18 Real Net | 58:10 Outro Find us on Patreon at www.patreon.com/retroAM, on Twitter at @retroamnesiapod and through e-mail at podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com. | |||

| 23 Jan 2023 | Suikoden II E13: You Don't Suck Wrong Blood [North Window & Cave of the Wind] | 01:00:43 | |
This is punishment for what you did to my body. Through our pain, we’re forgetting Pohl ever existed, formally accepting Flik and Viktor, wondering why Freed has a last initial, repeating Suikoden’s vampire subplot, dragging Pilika along, remaining oblivious to the concept of sex, raising the dead, missing our magic talking sword, beating up rocks, mounting a forehead rune, solving a rock pushing puzzle, finding Kahn in the middle of a damn cave, using a doppelganger secret, insulting the talking sword, and rekindling our relationship with that surly weapon. Well, I’m leaving, so do whatever you want. 00:00 Midnight Climb | 02:56 Intro | 04:30 South Window Tavern Strategy Meeting | 11:43 South Window City Hall | 17:45 South Window Tavern Strategy Meeting II | 23:55 North Window | 26:34 Gothic Neclord | 35:03 Cave of the Wind | 47:46 Star Dragon Sword | 54:30 Real Net | 58:17 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.
