Simply Complicated Universe

Before The Credits Roll: Mission One - Tales Of Eternia

Time is finite, but the backlog is forever. Welcome to Before The Credits Roll, a new sub series from Simply Complicated Universe where TheMCZX takes on the games he's always wanted to finish, the classics he somehow missed, and the ones he never got the chance to complete. For Mission One, we're going back to some unfinished business more than 20 years in the making: Tales of Eternia, formerly known in North America as Tales Of Destiny II. Wanna know what happened and how we got here? Take a listen. Mission one begins here.

The Stories Episode!!!

"The art of storytelling is a beautiful concept and record". After a busy two weeks, we are back! We got stories!! Production Note: We ran into a recording issue during this episode that affected Reezu's microphone. Fortunately, the conversation was recovered from another mic, so you may notice some differences in audio quality. You can hear Reezu, but he may sound a little distant. Thank the stars, the boys were not talking over each other. And thank you for rocking with us!
