Final Fantasy Union has returned once again for another Final Fantasy Fantastic episode! This week, Darryl is joined by Colin, Lauren, and special guest Spencer. As promised, this episode is all about questions; in particular, your questions. After a brief introduction, the gang launch directly into answering your inquiries!

Listen to the group respond to questions about their favorite moogle, the false FF Versus 13 rumor, how good a Chris Nolan FF game would be, whether X-2 and XII will get an HD treatment like X, was Versus 13 just a marketing scheme to get people to buy the other 13 games, which FF ending should be changed, FF themed restaurants, and much MUCH more.

You'll have to listen to the full episode to hear them all! And as always, the show closes out with a great remix and this week brings a remix from Final Fantasy 10-2 that'll get your blood pumping. Enjoy this episode and see if your question was answered. Final Fantasy Union is part of the Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts Union podcast channel on Gaming Union/iTunes and releases an episode of FFU every four weeks.

Oh goodness.. way to end the show on a bad note (haha). "What Can I Do For You"... those 6 simple words made me despise FFX-2 before I even tried it. Well, at least the rest of the mix was the Japanese version. Which is decent.

Also, I'd buy day one a release of FF12 HD. HD'ing of that game would be priceless. However I'd hope they'd do the Zodiac version. I also would hope they would do similar to how Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D was done where zones within a single area was merged. While the game on a Cart might make that necessity go away, it would still make the game seem larger.

Great episode and thanks for answering my question. It is unfortunate that I cant get that little theme anywhere but, I would pay for it on itunes just to let you guys know.... I really want it!!!

Equally as unfortunate are the usual anti-FFXIII hater comments by the fat Asian guy. Said something along the lines of wanting all the characters in XIII dying in the end in order for no XIII-2, then claim that Hope was actually a good/decent character in XIII-2? I think your trying to hard fatman.

But, what can I do? Nobody is forcing me to listen to it and I dont pay for the podcast, haters gonna hate I guess.

Good way to end the episode, I love Real Emotion but, I still prefer my English version

Good podcast and I look forward to the next episode.

Therefore there can be no understanding between you and me, nor may there be any covenants between us, till one or other shall fall and glut grim Ares with his life's blood."

Good job, but Spencer's mic was crap. Need to get that fixed by next episode.

Mic Problem is already fixed I know that bugged the crap out of me...but that's technology. Seriously every other podcast I do sounded fine, but I found out what the problem was. Sorry for the trouble.

Fat Asian guy? Now that's just rude. In any case, I see what you're saying and you're just misunderstanding. Let me rephrase: Hope was definitely a better character in XIII-2, but that's a standalone opinion of the game by itself. Personally I felt that XIII should've ended with the l'Cie sacrificing themselves - death or crystallization, not because I didn't like the characters, but because it would've been a much more impactful ending imo. After all, XIII was built up where one of its key plot points was that the l'Cie would not survive their mortal form if they do or don't complete their focus. My not liking of the characters has no bearing on how the game ends and is my own opinion, if you disagree with that you're more than welcome to, but be more respectful in the future.

eh I was kinda wondering how Colin would respond to that comment but anyway great show guys even though Spencer was on it(just kidding spencer...I guarantee it). My favorite part was definitely the last part, heh a FF Union Mafia. I can totally imagine the scenario, you guys would have bats too.

Great show, guys! Thanks for answering my question. I'm hoping Spencer's optimistic prediction comes true, haha.

It would be nice if they gave us the international zodiac version of XII with HD treatment. I'd buy XII HD regardless though.

Looking forward to Episode 71!

No, the only reason why I "misunderstood" was becuase you did not elaborate of your anti XIII comments in any way. Sure, you can try to make a save right now but, you cant change what you said in the podcast. And that was that the group shouldve died in order for no XIII-2. Go to the podcast and fast forward to the 26:00 min and hear you own response to that question. Usual type of comments by you and I am not in the least bit surprised you are attempting a save.

Referring to you as asian fat dude is just me calling it like it is but, I do see how it would be considered rude of me to say that. And I believe that just becuase you enjoy trying to get a rise out of people and being stupid does not mean that I need to be an idiot intentionally as well. So please, accept my apologies for calling you like it is Collin.

Also, I dont know which FXIII ending you saw, but I saw one in which the characters do precisely what you just told me you wanted them to do. They sacrificed themselves to save Cocoon, how did you even miss that part? The reason as to why I think you were dissatisfied with ending was because they were decrystallized (if even a word) but, if you played XIII-2 and payed attention you eventually learned that Etro took pity on them and "saved" them.

I also want to add that you call Hope a very generic character and thats just quite simply not the word to describe him. Now, im not defending Hope here but, the word you were looking for was crap or trash. Generic characters are space marines or soldier types that say nothing but kill everything, for example Master Chief or COD and BF soldier guys. However, by Japanese games standards he could be generic, im not sure since I dont play any Japanese games outside of Final Fantasy so I could be mistaken.

^WOW...Just the sheer amount of stubbornness I'm seeing before my eyes is absolutely ridiculous, Just because he has a difference of opinion to you doesn't make him wrong or give you an excuse to just be a total **** to other people.

Since when did Colin say something to provoke you to the point of being a jackass, and if the answer to that has ANYTHING to do with FFXIII, then boy...you need to grow up REAL fast and look at yourself in the mirror, because what everyone else sees in you at this point is not pretty at all.
