OSMinterview! Rebecca Forstadt on 6/10/2024

John is back with another interview, and this time it’s with the one and only Rebecca Forstadt. Her voice has been in tons of anime, like for example: Nunnally Lamperouge in Code Geass, Rika Furude in When They Cry, as well as Tima from Metropolis. Or perhaps you may better know her as Reba West, when she was the voice of Lynn Minmei in Robotech. It’s a great conversation that covers her career, her blogging, and all sorts of things.

The Carbuncle Chronicle Issue 25: The Dawntrail Travelogues

Hello Adventurers! OK, we are actually finally here! It’s Dawntrail time! Now that said, it’s been a month and change since release. But this episode is a amalgamation of multiple sound bites that we all recorded when the expansion was just launched into early access. It covers the first, oh we dunno, two-thirds of the game? Right up into Zone 5. All those early moments, storytelling beats, the various dungeons and trails? Hanging out with Wut Lamat and scopin’ out Tural? As we experienced them, we set voice to microphone and recorded them for you. Enjoy.

Spoiler Levels: Tender Shortcake! Layered with whipped cream and sliced nopalitender tunas, this light and fruity desert is the perfect summertime treat. Just like this episode! (Okay look. We already explained the actual spoiler levels in the paragraph above. You know what you are getting into here!)

In other news, we have posted on our YouTube page The Music of Final Fantasy XIV Panel that Tobias and Anna hosted at MomoCon earlier this year! It was a fun time and a great panel. If you haven’t watched it yet, you should! They did amazing.

Music used in this episode are the various day and nighttime themes used in Dawntrail. While the official credits have not been published for these it’s a safe bet they were all worked on in some fashion by Masayoshi Soken, and for the nighttime themes also arranged by Keiko.

The Carbuncle Chronicle Issue 24: The Final Days… Before Dawntrail, Anyway!

Hello Adventurers! Well, we are finally here! Kinda. Not quite. We are now just days, days before the latest Final Fantasy XIV expansion: Dawntrail! The servers are down, the patch is up for download, and Square Enix is already asking folks to not spoil stuff. So we’re not gonna! Because this is all pre-Dawntrail stuff. The latest Letter from the Producer LIVE, our muses, our crackpot theories, all you need to keep that Dawntrail hype alive for a couple more days! And then we’re in it! So go forth, listen, and enjoy.

Spoiler Levels: Baked Eggplant! Now, you would think that Baked Eggplant wouldn’t be all that spicy. You’d think. But this is a potent DPS-rich meal! So perhaps this isn’t an episode spoiler filled per se, but we would recommend that you listen to this episode after you are current playing right before Dawntrail. And then listen right before you start Dawntrail!

So after you have listened to this episode, some other things to help while away the time!

The Carbuncle Chronicle Issue 23: Ten Years of Playing Final Fantasy XIV, Part 1

Hello Adventurers! While last year was the 10 Year Anniversary of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, this year is our 10 Year Anniversary of playing Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn! So, we thought it would be nice to look back at those halcyon days of times long ago. Specifically, ten years ago. And to join us down this trip on memory lane, we are joined by the fellows Chille and Paul of Moogle Go Round Radio! MGR is a FFXIV podcast and stream where they, if you can believe it, talk about Final Fantasy XIV. They also just recently celebrated their own 8th Anniversary of existence! You can trust us when we say they were the perfect pair to chat with us about how TP used to be real and could hurt you.

Spoiler Levels: La Noscean Toast! This is not an especially spoiler-filled episode, unless you have never played Final Fantasy XIV at all ever. In which case, have you heard about the free trial? And then come back to us after you finish up with ARR. Otherwise: Enjoy this delicious episode that has been soaked mixture of buffalo milk and eggs, and then fried in creamy butter. A specialty at the Drowning Wench in Limsa Lominsa!

OSMnotes

Once again big thanks to Paul and Chille for chatting with us! And as you may have noticed, this is a Part 1! Because we had planned to talk about the expansions leading up to Dawntrail, but we only got as far as A Realm Reborn. Guess we’ll have to schedule a Part 2 at some point! But until then, how about some Time Cues:

  • 00:00:00 – We Start the Carbuncle Chronicling
  • 00:14:41 – Our Humble Beginnings
  • 00:51:09 – A Realm Reborn

  • 01:30:21 – Outro
