S4 Ep 14Suikoden | E14: Dad is The Ultimate Enemy [Battle with Teo, Part I]
EYou must not die here, don't waste the life Gremio gave you. As we determine the logistics of the Soul Eater, we're receiving intel from Kasumi Ninja, mulling over the ethics of fighting our fathers, falling fast to armored cavalry, letting Pahn take one for the team, beating up our buddy's dad, hearing there are 27 True Runes, napping some inspiration, dredging up the Fire Spear idea, recruiting more children, observing open raw sewage, trading items around to do the laundry, becoming an idler, playing a fucked matching game, and sipping some stew to impress another chef. Now that I know these things, I cannot let them go. 00:00 S4 Bonus Content Outline |02:00 Intro | 04:20 Soul Eater Housekeeping | 05:27 War Room Debrief | 10:14 Battle Teo's Army I | 14:29 Pahn vs Teo McDohl | 21:20 Dreaming of Leknaat | 24:56 War Room Plotting | 29:54 Recruiting Trail | 38:05 Kirov | 48:49 Real Net | 51:55 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

S4 Ep 13Suikoden | E13: All the Organic Matter [Soniere Prison & Scarleticia Castle]
EI'm prepared to die and I won't miss this world. While we try to beat the rapids, we're escalating neighborly beef, kickstarting the industrial revolution, hauling an engine across town, confessing our lack of purpose to raise our death flag, visiting a hermitage, throwing an isolationist in prison, recruiting a secret illiterate, forcing Flik to fill Kimbery's cup, using Bugs Bunny tactics on a scrivener, cranking an opal out of a Nightmare, breaking Liukan out of jail, finding the right time to die, recruiting some narcissists, acknowledging corruption beyond control, finding a human casio, and choosing practicality over vengeance.

S4 Ep 12Suikoden | E12: Classic Imperialism [Exploring Milich's Domain]
EAll I'm interested in are boats. Before we brave the rapids, we're squaring off against some jabronis at Garan, murdering 3000 soliders with the Lepant family, refusing a recon mission, inhaling poisonous pollen, foreshadowing Gremio's doom, wondering if pharmacists were invented yet, locating a guy who can appraise anything, denying imperialist town reclassification, accessing the Blinking Mirror, not needing old men, dancing on stage with Mina, robbing Antei of its merchants, slaughting feral creatures for an urn, locating Lotte's cat that is also called Mina, and telling three pirates to get their fucking lives together. We're all over. 00:00 Intro | 04:31 Battle at Fortress of Garan | 08:19 Garan Debrief | 09:58 Battle at Scarleticia Castle | 11:55 Scarleticia Castle Debrief | 18:52 Rikon | 24:35 Teien | 34:53 Toran Castle 3.0 | 37:53 Scarleticia Castle | 38:52 Antei | 50:37 Jabba & Lotte | 54:09 Pirate Fortress | 01:01:25 Real Net | 01:04:15 Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

S4 Ep 11Suikoden | E11: The Hop Pissed [The New Liberation Army]
EWe found our way here, to this mystery. As we pivot from military recruitment to cult assembly, we're playing Mark's voicemail, wondering if we've slaughtered Kuromimi's family members, separating choice from destiny, adding a bunch of elfes (elves), paying off a food debt, leaving children unattended in perpetuity, jumping ahead three months, butting heads with Flik, allowing the silent to speak, forcing animal friends to sleep outside, creating an alliance, naming a sword Odessa, and preparing to take on Garan. It'll be 30 bits per creature. 00:00 Happy Birthday Chris | 08:41 Pannu Yakuta Aftermath | 17:59 Kobold Village | 25:54 Lorelai | 27:21 Apple | 30:08 Toran Castle | 32:22 Flik's Back | 39:29 Toran Castle 2.0 | 42:52 Flik's In Kaku | 49:32 Garan Fortress Planning | 51:18 Real Net | 55:12 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

S4 Ep 10Suikoden | E10: The Power of the Science [Dwarf Vault & Pannu Yakuta]
EGod? There is no god in these modern times. As we seek to shatter the Burning Mirror, we're discovering Kage is working both side's case, stealing a root to prove our worthiness, getting beat up because we're poor, solving an incredulous phone number puzzle, slaying Gigantis, commissioning a Firewind Cannon, delaying a proposal for dramatic effect, finally obtaining a map, idiotically submitting to a bounty, recruiting a talking dog, leaping into a full scale war, representing battlefield death with ascending angels, seeing the power of the science, resting with a lady, and surmounting the insurmountable. War is timing, and now is the time. 00:00 Intro | 04:50 Chief of the Dwarves | 08:19 Dwarf Vault | 15:56 Presenting the Water Root | 17:12 Elf Village Aftermath | 24:40 Kobold Village Confrontation | 33:22 Battle at Pannu Yakuta Castle | 45:20 Kwanda's Fortress | 50:56 Kwanda Rosman | 55:47 Kwanda's Fate | 01:01:31 Real Net | 01:04:31 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

S4 Ep 9Suikoden | E9: Wet Elves in Our Bed [Village of the Elves]
EHo ho, you smell like humans. After we roll this wet elf out of our bed, we're recruiting more children into the army, throwing dice for another degenerate, sacrificing morals for money, slaughtering Christmas trees, recruiting a teleporting amnesiac, meeting a talking dog, receiving racism, counting chicken hearts, getting locked up, busting out of jail, fondly recalling abandoned twitter handles, marveling at circular dwarven windows, appraising a piss boy, and inventing electricity. It looks like I blew it. 00:00 Intro | 05:19 Recruiting Trail | 15:56 Great Forest | 21:28 Kobold Village | 24:57 Village of the Elves | 34:09 Elf Elder | 37:24 Elf Jail | 47:41 Dwarf Trail | 53:21 Dwarf Village | 01:00:17 Real Net | 01:04:50 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

S4 Ep 8Suikoden | E8: Husband Lady [Lepant, Part II]
EWant to take a bath? You'll feel refreshed. While we refuse to discuss our trauma, we're escaping Lepant's fun house, stealing a named sword, refusing to get poisoned again, donning a skin cloak, threatening a man's wife, taking a man's life, dividing our will to kill, making a family fighting team, letting a cop in the squad, throwing a dinner party, dealing with a ninja assassin, storing our precious antiques in the hot tub, and finding a friend who swam here. You are no longer my wife. 00:00 Intro | 03:17 Wheel of Fortune | 06:25 Operation Lepant: Debrief | 12:18 Lepant Unleashed | 15:20 Kraze Showdown | 29:08 Pahn | 32:38 Toran Castle | 36:42 Banquet | 43:07 Toran Castle'n | 50:22 Elf | 54:46 Real Net | 57:43 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

S4 Ep 7Suikoden | E7: Hello, Fellow Thieves [Lepant, Part I]
EA liberating invention needs a liberated world. On the New Liberation Army's Founding Day, we're receiving a non-electronic tablet to coordinate destiny, starting a cult, being watched in our sleep, seeing stars, sleeping in the dirt chamber, uniting our recruitment efforts, installing an elevator in the castle, putting indie stores out of business, employing those we've made unemployable, hallucinating an elf, appraising question marks, stealing a sword to create a conversation, literally descending from the rafters, and smelling what Rock is vaulting. When the world is twisted, so are people's minds. 00:00 Intro | 03:08 Toran Castle Lore |05:05 Commander Tir |13:51 Stars of Destiny | 18:45 Toran Castle Exploration | 22:47 Recruiting in Kaku | 26:13 Recruiting in Kwaba | 28:13 Recruiting in Seka | 33:31 Recruiting in Garan | 36:32 Recruiting in Great Forest | 42:19 Operation Lepant | 48:00 Lepant Home Invasion | 55:54 Real Net | 59:14 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

S4 Ep 6Suikoden | E6: Soul Eating in Front of a Children [Seika & Toran Castle]
EThis is the fixed version, we hope! Here we go then, too late for regrets. And too early for lining up great walls, declaring false identities, seizing the moment to fake a temper tantrum, blaming fate for problems, finding skilled professionals with no obvious means of employment, making Mathiu an offer he can refuse, confusing doctor with sensei, murdering soldiers in front of children, giving kids a year of homework, seeking a Headquarters, denying Camille's payment, throwing dice in a magic cup, scouring a haunted castle, and giving our castle a new name. That's what you get for acting big even when you're dead. 00:00 Intro | 03:20 Odessa Is Dead | 05:36 Kwaba Fortress | 14:07 World Mappin' | 18:25 Seika | 22:26 Mathiu's House | 41:20 Kaku | 44:46 Kaku Tavern | 50:01 Tai Ho | 54:40 Toren Castle | 01:03:18 Real Net | 01:08:58 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

S4 Ep 5Suikoden | E5: Mother-Commander [Mt. Tigerwolf & Sarady]
EIn any case, we have to go up. Let's go. While there we're investing in dad lore, finding Child Ted on the battlefield, plucking facts off The Cutting Room Floor, hiking up a snowy mountain, trusting a man with a bowl cut, remaining ignorant of bitter, drinking a beverage that is clearly poisoned, expressing discontent and doing something about it, poking around an isolated community, bonding with Odessa in the middle of the night, gaslighting the blueprint ninja, engaging in sexual innuendo, walking all the way back home, killing men in the sewer, and saying goodbye to a heroine. Throw my body in the river. 00:00 Intro | 04:51 Suikoden Pre-history | 12:50 Mt.

S4 Ep 4Suikoden | E4: Viktor Lays It Thicker [The Liberation Army]
EEverything's okay, make sure to hide your faces. Before we dry out, we're trusting the scoundrel Viktor with our lives, dining and dashing, shifting rows for better attack, sharpening weapons, attaching runes, daydreaming about murdering imperials, finding Odessa behind a clock, reaching the Time To Sewers, meeting our rebel conspirators, realizing we narc'd on comrades, censroing crucifixion, performing a casual arson, walking through a burning building and killing everyone inside, freeing/confusing Varkas and Sydonia, putting all of our faith in a Fire Spear blueprint for the secret factory. Father goes his way, I go mine. 00:00 Intro | 02:52 Cornered At The Inn | 08:24 Viktor Debrief | 12:46 Lenankamp | 18:18 Keyaki Inn Showdown | 23:52 Sewer Conference | 35:53 Rockland Reckoning | 38:23 Grady's Burning Mansion | 43:24 Return To Lenankamp | 50:23 Real Net | 57:52 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

S4 Ep 3Suikoden | E3: Did You Talk to the Graveyard? [Rockland & Mt. Seifu]
ELoneliness is a slow acting, but fatal, poison. Before we ingest the antidote we're taking a dragon to see a play, becoming tax collectors, watering the seeds of class warfare, cheating Marco out of a million bits, reading epitaphs, refusing to strike children, bullshitting a bullshitter, trapping the feds in ant holes, installing stairs in a mountain, fighting the unbeatable ant queen, performing some light colonialism, slaughtering bandits, murdering Imperial soldiers for the crime of child abuse, getting our bits stolen, using the Soul Eater, narcing on a friend, wandering for 300 years, and escaping through the kitchen. Never let your friends who like the cops go to walgreens. 00:00 Intro | 03:33 Return to Gregminster | 05:10 Kraze Debrief | 08:00 Tiny Characters Huge World | 11:21 Rockland | 23:13 Grady's House | 27:20 Mount Seifu | 32:39 Cave | 39:10 Varkas & Syndonia | 44:16 Return to Rockland | 47:04 Back to Gregminster | 51:53 Ted's Home | 01:05:08 Real Net | 01:09:48 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

S4 Ep 2Suikoden | E2: Ouroboros of Young Masters [Gregminster & Magician's Island]
EBoth magic sisters think I'm hot. While we admire ourselves in the floor, we're losing our father to a border crisis, reporting to a Krazy boss, hiring a magician who looks like my wife, auto-walking home, playing a real guitar, defining a Gremio, rifling through Milich's clothing, questioning the reality of Ted, keeping a food journal, dreaming in black and white, leaping in the elephant dragon's basket, fighting forest monsters, obtaining the emperor's astrology report, and opening the invitation to destiny. You must decide what is right, understand? 00:00 Intro | 02:47 Enter Tir McDohl | 06:10 Barbarossa's Court | 13:40 Royal Palace Exploration | 19:54 In My Father's House | 23:00 Exploring Gregminster | 33:23 Back In My Father's House | 46:23 Report To Kraze | 53:13 Magician's Island | 59:29 Leknaat | 01:04:06 Real Net | 01:11:20 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

S4 Ep 1Suikoden | E1: Please Tell Me The Answer [Introduction]
EIn the first episode of our fourth season, we're talking when where and how Suikoden first released, basic pronunciation guidelines, how the hell to play Suikoden in 2022, finding inspiration in anime soccer, identifying hot sound smiths, reading a german magazine ad, digging up and then settling old scores, indulging in the instructions, watching the intro movie, and deciding what to name Tir McDohl. All of this has to happen so we can play Suikoden II in a few months. 00:00 Intro | 02:47 Release History | 05:59 Water Margin | 07:26 Development Team | 20:00 Promotional Media | 22:14 Contemporary Reception | 26:56 How We're Playing Suikoden | 32:49 Instruction Manual | 35:32 Suikoden Intro Screen | 40:42 Press Start | 44:53 Real Net | 47:00 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

S3 Ep 44Final Fantasy VIII | E44: Is Love the Problem? [Epilogue]
EThe only Squall permitted here is you. As we sort through computer generated cut scenes, we're trying to remember the power of friendship, completing the time loop, accepting sorceress power, talking to myself, wandering through the desert, collapsing in futility, finding our soulmate in the abyss, becoming a no winged angel, speaking without a voice, blowing feathers around, holding up wedding rings, staring at a headstone, shooting a home video, shoving hot dogs in the mouth hole, raising a finger in ambiguity, and finally watching our sad boy find his smile. Next week we begin season 4, featuring Suikoden and Suikoden II back 2 back. 01:20 Intro | 04:35 Post Battle Ethereal Chaos | 08:06 Matron's House | 17:00 CG Cut Scene | 39:27 Pre Post Credits | 45:03 Credits | 53:24 Final Fantasy VIII: Videogame | 59:40 Real Net | 01:05:45 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

S3 Ep 43Final Fantasy VIII | E43: I Can't Even Final Fantasy [Ultimecia's Castle]
EFace my wrath for seeking thy sealed power. As we kompress time, we're multiplying save points and sorceresses, stepping over dead SeeDs on the beach, fastening wings to a castle, sealing our powers away, evaporating a rainbow, deducing latin paintings, weighing everyone in our party, turning blood green, slaying a fallen GF, meeting up with Xu and the CC Club, obtaining Proof of Omega, listening to an incoherent villain speech, fighting my ring, slaying a legendary beast, and facing off against the final sorceress.

S3 Ep 42Final Fantasy VIII | E42: About to Do a Blessed Sacrament [Lunatic Pandora]
EI have a lot to tell you, unless you don't want to hear it. In which case I'll understand. After we put a bullet in the head of Triple Triad, we're identifying the father of the son, ramming Lunatic Pandora, parking our dragon at the base, quitting our jobs to go drink, telling my boy we're not a posse, killing the unkillable friend, wandering away to get kidnapped, swapping in disc four, junctioning a person to another person, mugging our imperiled girlfriend, and falling through compressed time.

S3 Ep 41Final Fantasy VIII | E41: Shounen Energy [The Plan to Defeat Ulitmecia]
EMan, you look way too serious. As the world ends, we're reaching max level, reading Selphie's Laguna webpage, breaking down the couch cars, meeting the President, being called a faerie, performing calisthenics at critical plot points, staying on a boat for ten years, flashing back to Laguna's rebellion, outwitting a sorceress, sending our problems to space, working too much to visit my dead wife, sending our body to the future, concocting a plan to visit the future in the past, believing in our friends' existence, and learning it's all about love, friendship, and courage. You guys are the ones who were inside my head, right? 02:00 Intro | 04:40 Sir Laguna's Page | 14:53 Esthar Panic | 20:37 Presidential Palace | 27:18 Where's Ellone? | 32:01 Why Are You The President? | 41:30 The Place To Defeat Ultimecia | 47:53 Ragnarok Regroup | 58:06 Real Net | 01:01:40 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

S3 Ep 40Final Fantasy VIII | E40: The Great Neoliberal Lie [Sorceress Memorial]
EThe world's over, man. While continuing to neglect our witch girlfriend, we're throwing rocks in a lake, humming to summon a shadow, receiving awful clues, stealing a crop circle, getting Piet fired, scouring the world for unique NPC dialogue, exposing the public to Ultimecia, gathering materials for supreme violence, cutting Rinoa out of magic pipes, conceding Squall to Rinoa again, yearning to be a sorceress' knight, lying about forgetting, and sharing a romantic dream. As long as you can work with your buds, it don't matter. 02:16 Intro | 04:16 Obel Lake | 13:07 Pupu | 15:54 Crash Site | 16:35 Timber | 16:57 Winhill | 17:45 Deling City | 22:34 Dollet & Balamb | 24:11 Fisherman's Horizon | 25:31 Ultimate Weapons | 27:55 Sorceress Memorial | 34:56 Ragnarok | 38:23 Matron's House | 41:00 Field of Flowers | 52:41 Real Net | 56:28 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

S3 Ep 39Final Fantasy VIII | E39: More Headcanon [Deep Sea Research Center & Return to Shumi Village]
EWe understand each other's thoughts and hearts. While ignoring Rinoa's imminent peril, we're wasting a day with Triple Triad, failing to move the Queen of Cards, sailing past 100 hours, playing Red Light Green Light, picking the hidden option, spelling blow wrong, brimming with passion, beating up the boiler room, battling Ultima Weapon, indulging in the ultimate GF, finishing Laguna's statue, diegetically playing an Irish jig, breaking up a Shumi spat, and being content with more morsels of NORG lore. It's our nature. There's no real reason.

S3 Ep 38Final Fantasy VIII | E38: Absence of Space Dog [Ragnarok]
EI'm not your mom. In truth, I'm denying romantic impulses, killing and re-killing aliens, scanning my girlfriend, using a radio for the first time, resisting any attempt at creating intimacy, accepting a sorceress' fate, descending from Hyne, revealing the sorceress inside me, not doing shit about anything, repeatedly dying inside, flying with exuberance, and adding a mascot and sentient haunted trains as guardian forces. You've missed out on all the good things in life, you've missed out on so much. 01:08 Intro | 02:35 Enter Ragnarok | 06:55 Propagator | 13:37 Exploring Ragnarok | 22:07 Eyes On Me | 32:20 Separation | 38:06 Ragnarok Regroup | 46:58 We're Flying | 49:42 Selphie Diary Check In | 50:32 Jumbo Cactuar | 55:11 Doomtrain | 58:35 Real Net | 01:02:18 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

S3 Ep 37Final Fantasy VIII | E37: I Wanted To Die in Space [Lunar Base, Part II]
ENobody ordered me to escape. Through the wineglass, we're using our girlfriend as our therapist, cashing out our cards, receiving a ghost punch, breeding monsters on the moon, crying those monsters onto the planet, putting on a space suit, meeting a panicky space gentleman, opening a space tomb, shoving a cowboy into a sunroof, finding out what happened at the end of disc two, riding a handlebar elevator, playing the worst minigame of all time, and finding a secret space spaceship in space.

S3 Ep 35Final Fantasy VIII | E35: Hot Info That I Have [Esthar]
EThis place sure is weird. Inside this swirling pastel Oz, we're smiling through the pain, performing unpaid labor, ensuring a moomba develops CTE, taking a gun to work, picking the weirdest guy as the leader of the #resistance, misunderstanding the meaning of "special lady," rescuing Ellone, relishing the presence of an adult, leaving Rinoa up for human experimentation to the guy we rescued Ellone from, using the healing station, and going to the mall.

Inside the jar, we're waking up in the infirmary again, asking mom where the rest of her kids are, lying about why we want Ellone, listening to the legend of Hyne, denying responsibility of Rinoa, trading pornography for playing cards, stealing my girlfriend, talking to myself on the railroad tracks, loving only what I can't have, confessing to a body, adding mom to my party, running all over salty dinosaur bones, interacting with the glitch hole, and finding the magic city before we pass out.

ESurrender soul, lose brain. After that, we're wondering if it's over, staring at an unconscious person, falling into a cold coma, closing out the SeeD candidates, cleaning up after NORG, refusing to remove my sorceress clothes, hearing the ultimate goals of Ultimecia, punching a wall, zoning out during a work meeting, believing Ellone is on the White SeeD Ship, passing out near a bed, debasing ourselves for money, using a gunblade as a prop, looking for Ellone in the past, and limiting our time power.
