Ep 127: Final Fantasy 7 (Part 9) - The Birth of a Fandom w/ Justin Hamm

March 10, 2025 • Bill Tucker • Episode 127

Last week, Barry Carenza shared some impassioned takes on Final Fantasy 7 as a mini franchise in the larger Final Fantasy universe. This week, we have a one on one conversation with Justin Hamm as a counter point. Ranking as his favorite game of all time, FF7 not only marked the beginning of a love for RPG's, it became the catalyst of a lifelong love of the medium in general.
