Mark and Alex are back with a fresh start in the next Final Fantasy series title, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age! This is by far one of the boys' favorite RPG's, and the story begins by laying the groundwork of a power struggle between civilizations. Many new faces are introduced and new systems need to be learned as this title is quite different than all of the previous Final Fantasy games. After meeting the main protagonist, Vaan, the boys worked their way through the story and take on the first hunt, Hunt No. 01: Rogue Tomato.

Mark and Alex discuss with the last remaining Dark Aeons, and introduce the "ultimate" boss Penance. The boys also go into detail on how to boost character stats to even be able to on these very powerful foes and stand a chance at victory. This episode finishes off the last remaining side content the boys want to go over, so the only thing left to do is to finish the story!

The boys continue their discussion on side content by first finishing off Omega Ruins by taking on Ultima and Omega. They then take a brief moment to go over how to customize ultimate armors and which abilities are most useful for super bosses. The episode is finished with a look at some of the Dark Aeons and what to expect when encountering these crazy fights in Final Fantasy X!

Mark and Alex take a pause in the storyline to cover more of the side content in Final Fantasy X. They start off by discussing creative ways to customize weapons to maximize experience gains in battles. Many items used for these customizations are difficult to gather, but many are granted as rewards from the Monster Arena. The boys do a quite review of rewards and tactics to go about but are unable to dive deep into the arena because of how much content is there! The episode is finished off by stepping into Omega Ruins, the last undiscovered area in X. If you're searching for the beginning of a series, check the quick info below!

The boys continue their push through the end of the story in Final Fantasy X! After taking a brief moment to finish up the conversation on Celestial weapons, Mark and Alex dive back into Sin to see what comes next. The inside of Sin is quite bizarre and as if the crew was transported to an alternate dimension in open space. No doubt there's the final (hopefully!) encounter with Seymour as we're aware he's inside Sin as well with the heavy foreshadowing of his laughter and image.

Mark and Alex progress the story line in Final Fantasy X by taking on Sin! In this climactic battle, the crew is attempting to traverse inside of Sin to confront Yu Yevon, but it's easier said than down. Taking on the beast is no simply task but a marathon of amazing cinematics is the reward! The boys finish up by discussing Celestial Weapons, including where to find and upgrade them.

In this last installment of the Blitzball Series, Mark and Alex wrap up by discussing their final thoughts on this Final Fantasy X mini-game. The boys finish off their picks for their level 1-30 All-Star teams, discuss some favorite players, and talk through what improvements they would make to Blitzball. This mini-series has been a blast and it's farewell to Blitzball, for now! If you're searching for the beginning of a series, check the quick info below!

Taking a brief pause from the story walkthrough, Mark and Alex begin to dig into the massive amount of side content in Final Fantasy X. Discussed in this episode are the airship passwords and hidden coordinates, Belgemine and Remiem Temple, Cavern of the Stolen Fayth, and Baaj Temple. These optional areas contain the most powerful, and hidden, aeons which are well worth picking up! The boys also cover treasures and prizes found in these areas, which includes the ever-frustrating chocobo race at Remiem Temple.

The boys pick up where they left off in the story in their Final Fantasy X walkthrough! The crew heads back to Bevelle to confront Maester Mika and get more information on how to destroy Sin now that Yunalesca is dead. Mika does offer some details, but it is the fayth of Bahamut that finally fills in the majority of missing pieces. Yu Yevon was an age-past summoner that summons Sin from within, and once Sin is destroyed he uses the Final Aeon to give birth to a new one. With a new target in their sights, Yu Yevon, the party quickly devises a plan on the next course of action. If you're searching for the beginning of a series, check the quick info below!

The second-to-last Final Fantasy X Blitzball Series episode is packed full of content! Mark and Alex make their 4th picks in the levels 1-30 All-Star challenge, discuss the many remaining shot techniques, and stat deep-dive into Brother (a usual fan favorite) and Mifurey.
