Alex Moukala)](https://soundcloud.com/resonantarc/the-music-of-final-fantasy-xiv) _2026-08-26 · State of the Arc Podcast_ Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn had the impossible task of rebuilding a failed MMO, and its music had to help redefine what Final Fantasy XIV could be. In this episode of The Music of Final Fantasy, we're joined by composer and musician @AlexMoukalaMusic to break down Masayoshi Soken's soundtrack for A Realm Reborn, how his background in sound design shaped his approach to composition, and what… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2388633027-resonantarc-the-music-of-final-fantasy-xiv.mp3) ## [Xenogears' Ending Is Deeper Than We Thought (ft. Keith Comito)](https://soundcloud.com/resonantarc/xenogears-ending-is-deeper) _2026-08-20 · State of the Arc Podcast_ In this episode, we're joined once again by Keith Comito to revisit the final scene of Xenogears! We examine what the confrontation between Fei and Krelian is really saying about human suffering, love, free will, and our desire to truly understand one another.

We are going to surprise and maybe even enrage you with our most overhated picks, and then sooth you with our very overreasonable explanations. We discuss the games that have gotten the most hate, but that changed the trajectory of gaming for the worse. You don't have to love everything, or even like it. But joining the hate train ain't… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2380604538-resonantarc-the-most-overhated-games-state.mp3) ## [Why We Keep Remaking The Odyssey After 3,000 Years | State of the Arc Podcast](https://soundcloud.com/resonantarc/why-we-keep-remaking-the) _2026-08-06 · State of the Arc Podcast_ Nearly 3,000 years after Homer’s epic was first told, The Odyssey remains one of the most influential and frequently retold stories ever created. Christopher Nolan’s new film has brought Odysseus back to the center of popular culture, but no single adaptation can explain why this story has survived for millennia. In this episode, Mike and Casen explore the origins, structure, translations, and… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2376812345-resonantarc-why-we-keep-remaking-the.mp3) ## [YouTube Doesn't Want You To See Our Podcast](https://soundcloud.com/resonantarc/youtube-doesnt-want-you-to-see) _2026-08-05 · State of the Arc Podcast_ UPDATE: Good news—the final copyright claim was released this morning, so the full Odyssey episode is now available.

Released as a four-part anime OVA in 1994, Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals takes place 200 years after the SNES game and follows a new cast of heroes trying to protect the elemental crystals. Despite its connection to Final Fantasy V, this OVA looks, sounds, and often feels detached from the game that inspired it. In this… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2366277335-resonantarc-the-bizarre-final-fantasy.mp3) ## [Sony Just Killed Physical Media | State of the Arc Podcast (ft.

Today we are joined by Del Walker, an AAA game developer who has worked for Naughty Dog, Sega, and Rocksteady, to discuss what this means for both… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2361270764-resonantarc-sony-just-killed-physical.mp3) ## [Does The Star Fox Remake Pass The Test? | The Remake Trials](https://soundcloud.com/resonantarc/does-the-star-fox-remake-pass) _2026-07-08 · State of the Arc Podcast_ Welcome to The Remake Trials, a new series where we put classic games and their remakes on trial—not simply to ask whether the remake is “good” or “bad,” but to ask whether it understands the spirit of the original. For our first case, we’re looking at Star Fox: the original SNES game, Star Fox 64, Star Fox 64 3D, and the new remake. Using our Remake Fidelity Matrix, we break down the difference… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2355807272-resonantarc-does-the-star-fox-remake-pass.mp3) ## [Can A Video Game Prepare You For Death?](https://soundcloud.com/resonantarc/can-a-video-game-prepare-you) _2026-07-01 · State of the Arc Podcast_ What are the most spiritual games you've ever played?

People have long held the answer to be the movie Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. However, that makes no sense. Think about it. Sakaguchi was their best game producer. Why demote him for a movie that flopped? Why not just put him back in charge of games which he is obviously VERY good at and is the company's central product? We tackle these… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2345988608-resonantarc-the-real-reason-sakaguchi-left.mp3) ## [4 Game Villains Who Were Actually Right](https://soundcloud.com/resonantarc/4-game-villains-who-were) _2026-06-17 · State of the Arc Podcast_ Sometimes the most compelling villains are the ones who correctly identify a real problem: a collapsing society, a broken system, an impossible moral dilemma, or a truth the hero would rather avoid. In this episode, we look at four video game villains who may have been right in their diagnosis—but heinously wrong in their prescription. Time Codes: 1. Intro (0:00) 2.
