Episode 8: Xenoblade Chronicles (Part Two) w/ Allisa James

Allisa James and Paul take us through the epic conclusion of Xenoblade Chronicles—humans get turned into mechs, our characters see abstract astral visions, and they go to war with a god—this one's got it all, folks. Rarely does a JRPG with this much story stick the landing, but this one is the rare exception. And even more rarely does a game on underpowered systems like the Wii and the 3DS produce such vibrant worldbuilding. This one's special, folks.
