The Nickscast: Recent Episodes
The Nickscast
A podcast where three friends named Nick discuss video games, TV, anime, movies and other pop culture. New episodes usually posted Fridays, offshoot shows posted throughout the week.
Tales of Phantasia is Z's favourite game of all time. A J-RPG from the mid 90s with a story based on an unpublished Japanese fantasy novel, a unique fighting game-inspired battle system, and fantastic music and sound, listen as Z explains what he loves so much about this game (accompanied with some of that awesome music).
Z did his research for this episode using the wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_Phantasia) and the Aselia wiki page (http://aselia.wikia.com/wiki/Tales_of_Phantasia) for "Tales of Phantasia"
As always, thanks for the Z show theme music go to G and T.
