Parasite Eve sure starts with a blast. Aya watches the people around her burn as she investigates why that opera lady has crazy eyes. Retro Encounter discusses how refreshing it is to play a strong, independent woman before talks focus on the battle system and the benefits of a cinematic RPG. We wrap up the podcast debating the pros and cons of linearity in games, which inevitably leads to talks about Final Fantasy XIII. Also, it wouldn't be a Retro Encounter without being distracted by a Zelda game; this time it's Skyward Sword.Featuring: Josh Curry, Caitlin Argyros, Peter Triezenberg, Chris Gebauer, Mike SalbatoNote: We had to re-number our episodes several years after publishing.
