Being branded a l'Cie means being purged from your friends, families, and loved ones. But what happens when six adventurers band together, all branded as well, to try and put a stop to the purges and rescue those they have lost? Final Fantasy XIII is born! Composed by Masashi Hamauzu, FFXIII marks the first mainline Final Fantasy game to not feature the work and oversight of Nobuo Uematsu. But does Hamauzu have what it takes to fill the massive shoes that Uematsu has left? Join Peter and Cody as they welcome Corbin Rogers, a long time fan of the Final Fantasy franchise and superfan of the XIII trilogy, discussing the history of Final Fantasy XIII, their memories and first exposure with the game, and of course, the music that comes with it! You may have heard mixed feelings about Final Fantasy XIII across the web, but this episode is sure to confirm that this game stands tall among the rest.
