Axe of the Blood God: Fire Emblem Echoes and Final Fantasy XII Feature in This Week's RPG Podcast

PODCAST | We share our thoughts on Fire Emblem Echoes, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, and more!

This article first appeared on USgamer, a partner publication of VG247. Some content, such as this article, has been migrated to VG247 for posterity after USgamer's closure - but it has not been edited or further vetted by the VG247 team.

Axe of the Blood God is our weekly RPG podcast hosted by Kat Bailey and Nadia Oxford. You can find the previous episodes here.

In this week's episode of Axe of the Blood God (download link here), Nadia and I discuss Final Fantasy XII, Fire Emblem Echoes, and more!

I was a bit more down on Fire Emblem Echoes than a lot of other sites, mostly because I was unhappy with the unbalanced difficulty. But I love it in other ways, which made the review kind of hard to write. The same could be said for Final Fantasy XII, which has long been one of the more controversial entries in a controversial series. Lots to say on both of these, so tune on in!
