No One Can Know About This: A Podcast Where We Play Every Final Fantasy

It’s the beginning of Thanksgiving day on the podcast. We play some hot and cold, getting as many chocographs as we can. Then Spencer Crittenden joins us, and we talk about video games while we begin preparing the meal.   Corn Casserole Recipe: 2 cans creamed style corn 1 can southwest style corn or “mexicorn,” drained (you can add a second can of roasted style corn or normal corn to make it more corny) 8oz box of jiffy corn muffin mix 8 oz sour cream 1 egg 1-2 teaspoons of Salt and a bunch of pepper 1 tablespoon sugar (about a half of 1 jalapeno, hot pepper, or a tablespoon of hot sauce optional) (You can swap in a cup or two of fresh corn for canned corn but not the creamed style corn) (I haven’t noticed much of a difference but you can add half a stick to a full stick of butter and honestly probably up to 2 sticks, salted or unsalted) Make sure the corn is drained, melt the butter, and then mix basically everything together in a big mixing bowl, order doesn’t really matter. Combine, pour into a 13x9 casserole dish/glass pan and bake for like 1 hour at 350F, check after 40 minutes. It should set and get little cracks or bubble holes in it like a cake. The top sets kinda like a corn bread but the inside will be much wetter like a stuffing or bready casserole.    Discord: https://discord.gg/uBw8TsBxKs Video Version at Patreon: patreon.com/nockat For T-shirts and mugs: http://etsy.com/shop/nockat For Mognet messages, email: NOCKATpodcast@gmail.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@noonecanknowaboutthispodca2316 Twitter: @NOCKATpodcast

We dig around in Chocobo’s Lagoon for a while, turning up chocographs and softs. Then we search the world for treasures, running into some difficulties.   Video Version at Patreon: patreon.com/nockat For T-shirts and mugs: http://etsy.com/shop/nockat For Mognet messages, email: NOCKATpodcast@gmail.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@noonecanknowaboutthispodca2316 Twitter: @NOCKATpodcast

We finally embark on the big hot and colding, pecking around in the Chocobo Forest looking for Chocographs. Then we start scouring the world, looking for the treasure, before getting gassed and waking up in Chocobo’s Dreamworld.   Video Version at Patreon: patreon.com/nockat For T-shirts and mugs: http://etsy.com/shop/nockat For Mognet messages, email: NOCKATpodcast@gmail.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@noonecanknowaboutthispodca2316 Twitter: @NOCKATpodcast

With the airship in hand, we travel the world looking for what side quests are out there. Eventually, we find the city of Daguerreo, where the scholars live in peace with a Leviathan statue.   Video Version at Patreon: patreon.com/nockat For T-shirts and mugs: http://etsy.com/shop/nockat For Mognet messages, email: NOCKATpodcast@gmail.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@noonecanknowaboutthispodca2316 Twitter: @NOCKATpodcast

We meet Hilda who finally turns Cid back into a human. Then she gives us the rundown of what to do next. We take a quick trip to Alexandria to find Dagger’s voice, and fly the drone around for a while before finally getting control of the airship.   Video Version at Patreon: patreon.com/nockat For T-shirts and mugs: http://etsy.com/shop/nockat For Mognet messages, email: NOCKATpodcast@gmail.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@noonecanknowaboutthispodca2316 Twitter: @NOCKATpodcast

We explore the Lost Continent, looking for Esto Gaza. We find the ancient temple, but how did anyone even get here? Then we head into the dungeon of Mount Gulug, looking for Kuja. Will Mog sacrifice herself to save Eiko?   Video Version at Patreon: patreon.com/nockat For T-shirts and mugs: http://etsy.com/shop/nockat For Mognet messages, email: NOCKATpodcast@gmail.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@noonecanknowaboutthispodca2316 Twitter: @NOCKATpodcast

We fuel up on ramen, then take on the Desert Palace as Vivi. There are a lot of torches to light before we confront Kuja and blow up his lies. Then we chase him to the Lost Continent and end for the day.   Video Version at Patreon: patreon.com/nockat For T-shirts and mugs: http://etsy.com/shop/nockat For Mognet messages, email: NOCKATpodcast@gmail.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@noonecanknowaboutthispodca2316 Twitter: @NOCKATpodcast

Come hang out with us during this “intermission” type episode. We will return to playing FFIX next week, but for now, we investigate our life while melting our brain by watching hours and hours of youtube.   Video Version at Patreon: patreon.com/nockat For T-shirts and mugs: http://etsy.com/shop/nockat For Mognet messages, email: NOCKATpodcast@gmail.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@noonecanknowaboutthispodca2316 Twitter: @NOCKATpodcast

We eat sandwiches, then give Cid the special potion. Then we’re given a boat, which we use to explore the world finally.   Video Version at Patreon: patreon.com/nockat For T-shirts and mugs: http://etsy.com/shop/nockat For Mognet messages, email: NOCKATpodcast@gmail.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@noonecanknowaboutthispodca2316 Twitter: @NOCKATpodcast

We all wake up in Lindblum and pick up the pieces after Alexandria was destroyed. Dagger is speechless, and we need to turn Cid back into a human.   Video Version at Patreon: patreon.com/nockat For T-shirts and mugs: http://etsy.com/shop/nockat For Mognet messages, email: NOCKATpodcast@gmail.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@noonecanknowaboutthispodca2316 Twitter: @NOCKATpodcast

We win a card tournament in Treno, then head back to Alexandria for the big coronation. Will Garnet’s ascension to queen go off without a hitch? Nope.   Video Version at Patreon: patreon.com/nockat For T-shirts and mugs: http://etsy.com/shop/nockat For Mognet messages, email: NOCKATpodcast@gmail.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@noonecanknowaboutthispodca2316 Twitter: @NOCKATpodcast

We witness a farce involving a love letter being passed around, get drunk to forget Dagger, then decide to head to Treno for a card tournament. It’s active time events galore as the stage continues to get set for disk 3. Also, Vivi grew up near Treno.   Video Version at Patreon: patreon.com/nockat For T-shirts and mugs: http://etsy.com/shop/nockat For Mognet messages, email: NOCKATpodcast@gmail.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@noonecanknowaboutthispodca2316 Twitter: @NOCKATpodcast

It’s day 7 of gameplay and disk 3 of the game! We’re back in Alexandria, and everyone is picking up the pieces after the big finale of disk 2. Having come full circle, we wander around the streets as Vivi, mostly racing a hippo kid.   Video Version at Patreon: patreon.com/nockat For T-shirts and mugs: http://etsy.com/shop/nockat For Mognet messages, email: NOCKATpodcast@gmail.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@noonecanknowaboutthispodca2316 Twitter: @NOCKATpodcast

It’s the big showdown with Kuja and Queen Brahne at the Iifa Tree. A lot of stuff goes down before the end of disk 2.

We go back to Madain Sari and find the Summoner’s Stone has been taken by Lani. There’s a competition between the bounty hunters. We let Amarant live and it blows his mind.   Video Version at Patreon: patreon.com/nockat For T-shirts and mugs: http://etsy.com/shop/nockat For Mognet messages, email: NOCKATpodcast@gmail.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@noonecanknowaboutthispodca2316 Twitter: @NOCKATpodcast

We head to the Iifa Tree and explore its roots. This place must be the source of the mist. Is this a tree of life? Or a tree of death? It’s a giant harp.   Video Version at Patreon: patreon.com/nockat For T-shirts and mugs: http://etsy.com/shop/nockat For Mognet messages, email: NOCKATpodcast@gmail.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@noonecanknowaboutthispodca2316 Twitter: @NOCKATpodcast

We explore Madain Sari and learn about the tribe of the summoners. Will we make enough food for the party? Where is Quina?   Video Version at Patreon: patreon.com/nockat For T-shirts and mugs: http://etsy.com/shop/nockat For Mognet messages, email: NOCKATpodcast@gmail.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@noonecanknowaboutthispodca2316 Twitter: @NOCKATpodcast

It’s the start of day 6. We make breakfast, then try to find the missing mail in the Black Mage Village, before eventually arriving at Madain Sari. We also try Gros Michel bananas.   Video Version at Patreon: patreon.com/nockat For T-shirts and mugs: http://etsy.com/shop/nockat For Mognet messages, email: NOCKATpodcast@gmail.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@noonecanknowaboutthispodca2316 Twitter: @NOCKATpodcast
