Nate, Sebastian, and David convene to discuss FINAL FANTASY VII, a blockbuster RPG that took the gaming world by storm and introduced America to spiky-haired, sword-wielding, amnesiac protagonists. Come for the discussion of the game's cinematic techniques and environmentalist themes, stay to hear the plot point David refers to as "the JFK assassination of '90s videogames." Nate has an awkward movie trailer voice, Sebastian admires the game's ending, and David imagines Marlon Brando as Sephiroth.
