Ultima Final Fantasy | The Ultimate Final Fantasy Podcast
373 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 1 month ago - ★★★★★ - 314 ratingsFor over 5 years Ultima Final Fantasy took you on a journey through the entire Final Fantasy series; from the main games that you know and love, to obscure titles such as "My Life as a Darklord". Every game was played and reviewed, every major media release was touched on, and you got to hear all the stories, tangents, and life struggles of the hosts who went through it. For years the show was supported on Patreon, and you got to see goals reached such as multiple "Megadeth" Song Covers of classic Final Fantasy songs, a phone line, and Twitch streaming for the MMO's. All of these things, along with the Patreon Invite episodes, added so much to the show.
Now here we are at the end of our journey, the end of the weekly show (although occasionally returning to discuss some of the other FF-related games). The show, and our lives, must go on in a different fashion.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for these amazing years.
