Rhythm Encounter 69 – Final Fantasy XIV: What Moogle Wakes Me?

How many Shakespeare references can Yoshi-P’s team pack into a Final Fantasy XIV expansion? How many of said references will we reference today? And what angel wakes Mike Salbato? The answer to some of these questions lie within our new dedicated Final Fantasy XIV episode of Rhythm Encounter. Because the show was on hiatus during the releases of Stormblood and Shadowbringers, we have not been able to feature as much from those expansions as we’d like. Today we played catch up. Glorious, literal-music-to-the-ears catch up. For a game featuring hundreds of songs, it’s hard to narrow it down to eight, but we think you’ll like what our musicbringers have in store for you.

Featuring: Mike Salbato, Hilary Andreff, Alana Hagues, Zach Wilkerson; Edited by Jono Logan
