Let's not imagine things. It's not good for your heart. What's real is spilling beverages on podcast equipment, identifying 2018 lyrics in a 1998 song, appreciating Bart carrying plot points across time, squirting, collecting different shaded rocks, encountering Shevat's assemblage of ragtag rebels, parlaying with Chu-Chu's, turning yesterday’s tears into tomorrow's smiles, receiving all of the lore at Shevat Palace, blending our fake religion with Xenogears' real legends, getting gaslit by Yui, and meeting a 5x centenarian. The best part of this game can only happen if you have Bart with you. 00:40 - Intro 05:40 - Meeting Maria in Shevat (music sample: "Shevat - The Wind is Calling") 14:46 - Hopping around the Shevat Liberation Barracks 24:00 - Stopping by Deep Sea Bros 27:30 - There's a Gear shop? 29:42 - Oh my god the Chu-Chu room 34:47 - That musty fountain room 35:55 - Abandoned house 38:46 - Let's go to Shevat Palace: library, command room, lab 55:23 - Mrs. Uzuki 59:39 - Let's go to prison 01:01:52 - Meeting Zephyr in the throne room 01:06:50 - Maria's reflections (music sample: "Gathering Stars in the Night Sky") 01:15:27 - Outro 01:17:52 - Chris started playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Find us on Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/retroam, on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/retroamnesiapod, and through e-mail at retrogradeamnesiapodcast@gmail.com.
