Join Braden, Chris, and Adam as they discuss Hironobu Sakaguchi's The Last Story, including a brief recollection of Project Rainfall and what it was like to talk about JRPGs on the internet approximately 14 years ago. It's not all horror stories though, as they also cover the game's unique approach to combat, its non-unique approach to storytelling, and why basically no one talked about it after release (hint: it's Xenoblade's fault.) Our hosts found a game they actually enjoyed for once, which is good since the next game they're playing is going to be an absolute nightmare.

If Joe Rogan can become the most powerful podcaster in the world just by talking to his friends about random bullshit then we’re legally allowed to do a podcast episode that’s just Braden, Harley, Jatzu, and ZP vaguely talking about Netflix shows during an internet stream of The Last Story.

In this episode of Off the Deep End, we decide to rank multiple video games that the main Deep Listens podcast played, partially out of spite and partially because we needed a podcast for this week. Join Braden "ArbitraryWater" REDACTED, Chris "ZombiePie" REDACTED and Gino Grieco on a fun retrospective journey through almost a decade's worth of podcasts and more than a decade's worth of video games we vaguely remember. How many of them are better than Hybrid Heaven? Remember to join our patreon if you disagree with any of our takes!

Gino "ThatPinguino" Grieco joins Braden"ArbitraryWater" REDACTED and Chris "ZombiePie" REDACTED to talk about another beloved(?) PS1 JRPG from the late 90s with Legend of Legaia. Is this another overlooked cult classic? Are they even allowed to play those for this show? Find out by listening to them talk about the game's unique combo-based battle system, sick drum and bass lines, and even sicker random encounter rate. This time Braden doesn't even have the flu!
