    Phantasy Star IV | E23: This Place is Brains [Garubek Tower]

    Your condition has improved considerably. You're feeling so much better, you can listen to us burning down the forest, making levels out of biology and doors out of guts, failing the reverse aniki maneuver, falling asleep to a bad smell, donning vestments, defending Alien movies, suggesting hunters were fake, admiring large sprites, blowing up a temple, selling an irreplaceable weapon, Lunar'ing the whole world, receiving new facts from an old guy, wearing a favorite hat (without any worry), and saying such unscientific things. Do you want to get whooped again?

    Phantasy Star IV | E22: Non-Rascal Variety [Air Castle]

    Why are you reincarnated like that? It's an honest question, and one that can only be answered by begging to steal a torch, absconding with a special zippo to kill a guy, learning of an air castle in asteroid space, taking credit for killing an arch villain, telling a sir he's unsteady, cleansing the unclean, beat matching a sacred rascal, fighting dinosaur head pauldrons, refusing to fear the bomb, using magic the win important battles, coming back from Phantasy Star I, referencing ancient Virtual On forums, and bringing the torch home. What can't be, can't be. 00:00:00 Valueless 00:02:28 Intro 00:03:52 Gumbious Temple Invasion 00:13:03 Gumbious Temple Post Invasion 00:15:35 Spaceport 00:18:58 Air Castle Part I 00:33:43 Air Castle Part II 00:38:08 Lashiec 00:50:06 Returning the Torch 00:52:32 Real Net 00:56:03 Outro

    Phantasy Star IV | E21: Pope Hatted Out and Whatnot [Jut, Weapon Plant, Gumbious Temple]

    There are things here that I have no clue as to what they are. Help us engage with these strange objects while we're worshipping the flame, putting an anti-blowing string in a hat, looking for lucky finds, acknowledging home invasion, wishing god would kill Chris' house, casually insulting religion, entering the conveyor belt dungeon, spitting out repair kits, merging faith with government, intending to remove a sacred relic, reducing to ashes all that is unclean, doing the complete suite of dew, and yearning for an empowering physical space What is Christ if not a hero from the past?

    Phantasy Star IV | E20: You Can Suck and Be a Wizard [Esper Mansion]

    What a gentle looking face this statue of a woman has. And what gentle ears you have, listener, to hear us injecting life energy into sick people, confirming midi-chlorians, wearing capes from space, meeting a girl of exceptional courage, sexually harassing the nurse, spawning infinite trees that eat people, meeting another anime space princess, seeking Lutz who is also Noah, improving body and soul, blackening the earth, christening a special boy of destiny, and praying for your safety. Yes, we will make it a hospital. 00:00:00 Our Next Miniseries is… 00:02:23 Intro 00:05:14 Meese Sick House 00:14:46 Raja Falls Ill 00:20:56 Carnivorous Forest 00:31:26 Esper Mansion 00:45:48 Inner Sanctuary 00:56:06 Real Net 01:01:29 Outro

    Phantasy Star IV | E19: Have Penguins, Have No Problems [Zoza, Climate Center, Meese]

    You shouldn't say such unscientific things. Let us us do it while we're somehow waltzing into another JRPG penguin town, "making improvements" to owls, creaming a guy, turning Chaz into a Hero Leader, buying a penguin follower, leading a breeder's life, slaughtering zombies, hearing word of man-eating trees, meeting Dark Element Lars, debating the relationship between monsters and computer, contracting illness, letting the kids go outside, and converting the inn into hospice. Rest in peace to those spirits who are victims of illness

    Phantasy Star IV | E18: When Satan is in the Computer [Kuran]

    My head is out of whack. Solve this neural distress with us as we're growing new hands, making sure vehicles don't get cut, admiring the galaxy map, solving the button mystery, shootin' goop, greeting a treasure chest, putting Satan in the computer, wishing for greater robot lore, pitch-shifting gak, contrasting red and black, failing to fix climate chaos, keeping a special car in space, busting through ice in our new car, speaking with cats, feeling a fond remembrance, and discussing the unparalleled beauty of badminton equipment. I am living a real life version of a life simulator.

    Phantasy Star IV | E17: The Androids are Dating While Everyone Else is Hunting Bears [Ryuon and Tyler]

    Two fists is the best situation. But you can also use two ears to hear us speaking with fire, curating creamsicle outerwear, admiring the JRPG snow town, humping a rock, speaking an untranslatable pun, identifying foundational videogame farts, going hard on Tic Tacs, huddling tight on winter nights, looking at this lot with suspicion, buying armor we already have, blowing hats off, thinking of our favorite Tyler, installing a grandfather in every town, respecting father and mother, freebasing Pez, and expecting to see a spaceship buried under the snow grave cave. Trust that body to us.

    Phantasy Star IV | E16: A Flamboyant Landing [Dezolis]

    What a flamboyant landing! Embrace the reentry glitz as we're always feeling like something is wrong, confusing Marvel Chrises, becoming divided over robots wearing cloaks, shorting out, feeling safe with Wren, witnessing a procession of absurdities, destroying an important temple, dragging an old man around with us, taking a "pleasure trip," guarding what's left of this place, summoning the pocket rover, and wondering if you can make soap dirty. How strange, it's raining machines.

    Phantasy Star IV | E15: Absolute Unit [Zelan]

    Thank goodness you've revived. Now you can listen to us raising a spaceport out of the sand, losing another party member, investigating the dorms, caring for another's child, running out in a tab, remaining an influencer, sorting out the estranged families, falling into crack, slaying ooze, going to SPACE, looking at space, curing the problem, denying weather control, revealing a second teacher, extending the problem we cured, meeting up offline, and digesting gas station pills. Perhaps he was talking about the end of himself.

    Phantasy Star IV | E14: Anime Shadow Sadness [Nurvus]

    Everyone's mothers are congregating and looking sad. They're listening in as we're investigating a deadly premonition, becoming an honorable adult, withholding emotions through dark eyes, innovating narrative pain and agony through manga panels, revealing a dark backstory, checking Rune's stats, encouraging Hahn to leave, recalling videogame graves, getting inside the nucleus, making sure a robot carries the gun, doth seeking the power, assuming the battle was death-rigged, using weapons as items, putting a robot into the computer, and telecommuting with a guy in space. From now on, you have to carve out your own destiny, by yourself.

    Phantasy Star IV | E13: The Person of Lordly Caliber [Plate System & Ladea Tower]

    I can smell the urge to fight in you. With such pungency, you're aiding us in contracting pink eye, wasting MP on a robot, naming a kid "gunner," fearing the mono-eye robot, adapting weird machine parts for androids, refusing to look at naked robot, watching Gryz express facial emotion, worshipping a heroine of yore, aggressively referencing Phantasy Star I, locating the depraved daughter, putting our feelings in metal, rapidly blinking eyes, dying recovered, eliminating another jobber, and fearing her last breath. Put your adversary down by force.
