In our longest episode to date, we delve deep into the desperation, dualities, and despair of Yoko Taro's brilliant Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139... We cover the ways this remake vastly improves on the original, its themes of miscommunication, body shame, and existential despair, and detail the story and how it diverges in its numerous replays. As a spoiler alert, we also touch on its connections to lore from Nier: Automata (which you should play immediately) and the Drakengard series (which you should probably avoid playing).  Mr. Clemps' DrakeNieR videos  Please support us on Patreon - monthly patron-exclusive episodes stating in June! We've restructured our Patreon rewards and will be launching a third Patreon-exclusive episode of Combo Chain, released every month, starting in June! $5 patrons get access to the exclusive episodes, and $2 patrons will get our two public monthly episodes a week early.

Ep 26: Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139... w/ Alexander McConnell

One of the greatest, and perhaps most underrated, JRPG's of the 16-bit generation, Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium is a sci-fi epic with a narrative and mechanics before its time. Alexander McConnell joins us to discuss the definitive conclusion to this four game saga, delving into its epic scope, charmingly sleazy protagonists, magical cats, and dad joke-spouting aliens.  Pledge drive time! We need your help covering the costs of hosting and producing Megaten Marathon and Combo Chain, which are more than $500 a year. Plus, we’re giving away early-access episodes to contributors.

Ep 21: Phantasy Star IV w/ Alexander McConnell

Hello skeletons! This week's guest is Alexander, a friend of mind from the Duckfeed Slack. We sit down and discuss his journey through the Souls series, going on some unique side paths like "what's the deal with parrying" and "how to be the only person in your town that knows what Demon's Souls is." It's a good one, so enjoy! Don't Give Up, Skeleton is on Patreon, which is a great way to support the show if you can. Donations go to keeping the podcast bills paid, as well as my ever growing collection of Souls games.  You can also support the show by leaving an iTunes review, or by sharing the podcast with your friends.  Merch! Wear a skelly on your belly!Links:Alexander McConnell (@paxtenebrae) | TwitterRachel and Alex vs The Whoniverse
