Alexander Schmid Podcast

In this episode, Mr. Wesley Schantz and I consider (a) making it to the third disc and how beginnings and ends affect our judgments of any communicative effort; (2) what Hojo and Aeris and Sephiroth mean as ideals, and (3) how the Final Fantasy series as a whole mimics the epic tradition through its serial growth, what the epic tradition is attempting to produce, and we begin to answer whether Final Fantasy VII is itself worthy of the moniker "great" or "epic". (Unfortunately, some of our best stuff was left unrecorded (due to operator error--me), and thus was lost to time like tear drops in the rain.) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/support
