Dust off that cloth map, it's time to head to Cyrodil! That's right, we're off to explore the verdant pastures and thrilling forests of Bethesda's Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion! Topics covered this week: Pee Stew, Vanessa's CSI problem, Matthew's naughty kitty Felix, Vanessa's slight Oblivion obsession, Sean Bean sightings, John blaming glitches for pretty much everything wrong with his life, and so much more!

This Week: We meet Brother Martin and rescue him from Kvatch in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion! Next Week: We play until you interrupt the ceremony with the Path of Dawn cult in the Dagon shrine!

Final Fantasy VI Part 8 - A Little Night Hooters Sep 03, 2018

Show notes

It's all Sondheim all the Sond-time on this episode of Square Roots! We learn about Sondheim's famous love of breasts, his pioneering of reverse-alley staging (and the sex position), and his improvised piano songs in a series of completely true facts that were not made up. OH. We also finish Final Fantasy VI! TAKE THAT KEFKA, YOU THIRD RATE FINAL FANTASY VILLAIN. While we may be down on mimes, clowns, and clown-mimes we are definitely all for what might be the single best final boss battle of any Final Fantasy game. Add to that questions about the ancient queen's love of Odin (was the horse part of it?) and the introduction and thorough dissection of Gogo, you have an amazing end to a fantastic game.

This Week: We finish Final Fantasy VI! Next Week: We meet Brother Martin and rescue him from Kvatch in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion!

Final Fantasy VI Part 7 - Sympathetic Catfishing Aug 27, 2018

Show notes

We collect all the missing party members! Good news! No one died! Unless you left Shadow out to die, you monster. Wait, he left his friend to do so maybe you're the real monster if you save him? Morality is weird, friends. We talk about catfishing, the secrets of silk production, teen pregnancy, Locke gets his dead girlfriend back, Strago joins a cult, and we don't even know what was going on with Owzer and Relm.

This Week: We gather the gang together in the World of Ruin! Next Week: We finish the game!

Final Fantasy VI Part 6 - Sabin All My Love For You Aug 20, 2018

Show notes

We're all flipping water bottles, dabbing, and diving out of moving cars in this exciting, hip, current episode of Square Roots. Is John compensating because he's now 39? Is Matthew known for being angry? Is Vanessa fed up with ladies giving up because they learned about motherhood? Is Jim just cranky? YOU BET. Also there's tons of Star Trek talk, the sad death of Bananaman, the dark, moody World of Ruin, discussing the name Darill, the ethics of looting a crumbling house, ten minutes of Star Trek talk, and so much more.

Musical references this week: Living on the Edge by Aerosmith, Never Been to Me by Charlene, Mouth by Bush, Love Shack by B52s.

Final Fantasy VI Part 5 - Simply Quite Precrocious Aug 15, 2018

Show notes

Lulu! Rubber shirts! Esper Rumspringa! John questions Vanessa's age! The earth gets mad! Final Fantasy VI presents what seems like an early endgame as Kefka wreaks havoc on the planet, and then the party... well... it doesn't really save anyone. But! There are robots. And TWO Ultros appearances!

Sierra Roots! Aug 13, 2018

MATTHEW'S LAPTOP EXPLODED. So our regularly scheduled episode won't be up for a couple of days. So in the mean time, here is the first episode of Sierra Roots. We discuss the best and worst of Sierra, Vanessa premieres her phantasmagoria true crime podcast documentary, and ReVenture Games's Natalie Juhasz discusses how Laura Bow's beloved stupidity helped inspire Lorna Bains.

Final Fantasy VI will be there REAL SOON! I swear!

We're hot and distracted in this episode, so bear with us. You may want to, you know, skip ahead to the Quest Mog. We're just saying. It's tangent town, population: this podcast! This week we discuss train suplexing, Kefka's unhappy army, Terra's crappy scenario, why Shadow is a jerk, dogs enjoying badminton, blue spartans, Nomi Malone, that weird Final Fantasy III commercial where Mog has a gruff voice, ULTROS, a kid that can destroy the most powerful karate man, Gau's tragic backstory that is orchestrated with comedy music, and so much more!

There's a lot of talk about child stars in this episode of Square Roots, which is suprising given that we're talking about THE NUMBER ONE GREATEST RPG EVER, Final Fantasy VI. So is it really the Number One Greatest? Are Biggs and Wedge dating? Is Terra a witch or a sorceress? Is Edgar flirting due to societal pressure, or is he a creep? How can Sabin be a bear icon when he doesn't even have a beard? Stay tuned for the weremammothiest, lightning snailiest, daddy killingiest Square Roots yet!

03:20 - Level Up 22:00 - The Quest Mog 01:14:00 - Bullshit Minigame Corner 01:15:48 - Squarely Against
