1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Sanny and Samantha and welcome to Stephane 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: Never Told You production of iHeart Radio. And today we 3 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: are back with another sub sub sub sub whatever, segment 4 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: of fictional women around the World. I haven't found the 5 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: alternate title like activists around the World, but I'm still 6 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: thinking about it. I'm still thinking about it. And do 7 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm very happy today because we are 8 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 1: taking it back to one of my very faves, one 9 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: of my very first favorite fictional characters, Tara Branford from 10 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: Final Fantasy three slash six. And yes, that is confusing. 11 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: I always when I was growing up, I always knew 12 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: it as three, so that's probably what I'm gonna call it, 13 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: but um I I understand that it's more traditionally known 14 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: at six. So well, we're just gonna roll with him. 15 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: And once again, Samantha is gonna be kind of courting 16 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: me as I as I trying to explain this, but 17 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: always feel free to ask any questions. I have no 18 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: idea what this game is at all, Like I know 19 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: the name, but that's the end. And there could be 20 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: a lot of questions because the Final Fantasy series is 21 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: a bit daunting to explain. Yes, and that's like the 22 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: understatement of the century perhaps, and a part of that 23 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: is because it is a series that was created in 24 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: Japan originally, and some things for we're sure got lost 25 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: in translation, like the whole years that three years it 26 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: six thing um, or the fact that in the Japanese 27 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,839 Speaker 1: version of this game, Tara's name is Tina and apparently 28 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: when they did test American markets, everyone the name. Kind 29 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: of similar thing with Aris slash eris like in the 30 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: one I grew up with, the character's name was mistranslated 31 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: to Aris as opposed to Arith. And this is a 32 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: character from Final Fantasy seven who is another favorite of 33 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: mine that we will definitely come back to. But okay, basically, 34 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,559 Speaker 1: these games are generally role playing games that take place 35 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: in fantasy worlds, some more fantastical, some more technological slash futuristic, um, 36 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: some a mixture of both. They are not connected storyline wise, 37 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: unless you're looking at Final Fantacy Tin and Tin two 38 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: or thirteen and thirteen two something like that. But Final 39 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: Fancy three was one of my absolute favorites as a kid. 40 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: We had it on the Supernintendo, which meant we only 41 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: have three safe slots, and even though me and my siblings. 42 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: I have two brothers, so there's three of us. Seems 43 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: like it should work. No, they would erase my game 44 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: all the time for their quote special runs brothers. Also, 45 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: this game does have a big Star Wars connect like 46 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: there's characters same bigs and Wedge, There's an emperor, things 47 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: like that, so I loved that. Also. Um Tara is 48 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: the first playable character in Foul Fantasy three Slash six 49 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: and a necessary character for the first half of the game. 50 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: UM some characters are optional, she is not, and not 51 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: only that, she is a required party member for most 52 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: of the game. When the game starts, she is an 53 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: eighteen year old magic user that has been captured and 54 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: enslaved by the Castralian Empire. Magic users are pretty rare 55 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: in this universe, and her powers are an enigma. When 56 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: you first start, you know her as a question question 57 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: question of course, of question mark, a bunch of question marks, 58 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: and a later girl because they've stripped her of her 59 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: name and her identity. UM. As the game opens, she 60 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: and some Imperial soldiers are in these like Meccannis walkers 61 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: hunting down a mysterious esper, which are these powerful magical 62 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: mystical beings, and when they find the asper, a strange 63 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: reaction takes place between it and Tara, knocking back the 64 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: soldiers and freeing Terra of the device he used to 65 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: control her. Once she has freed, she struggles with amnesia 66 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: and experiencing emotions to the point that she's afraid that 67 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: she cannot feel love. She is rescued by an anti 68 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: imperial activist who enlist a thief named Locke to get 69 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: to safety, and from this point Tera embarks on a 70 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: journey across the continent, which I would kind of describe 71 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: this world as maybe a more fantasy and land based 72 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: version of Star Wars. I know, I always prepare everything 73 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: to Star Wars. It's just a good reference point for me. 74 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: Um where You've got your evil empire, even complete with 75 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: evil emperor betrayed by his apprentice. You've got your rebellion, 76 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,679 Speaker 1: You've got your magic, your different worlds, your mysterious power 77 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: crystals mostly extinct, magical race, rogue, smugglers, spies, traders, kings, 78 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Also, like with most games, you can 79 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: give characters other names if you want, and I used 80 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: to use the name King Edgar. I would name his 81 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: character after my brother because there was the whole scene 82 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: or Keska, who is this villainous clown essentially Darth Vader. 83 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: I guess I was cursing about and I loved it. 84 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: So I would be like using my brother's name and 85 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: calling him like all these insults and I would just 86 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: leave it laugh. And he didn't know that. Yeah, he 87 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: didn't know that until I told him sently and it 88 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: was a nice you know I used to raise my 89 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: game was not sane, but a little one up, a 90 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: little one up on him. Okay, So back to Tara. 91 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: Tara is confused and lost without her memories or her emotions, 92 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: so she follows Lock to meet up with the returners, 93 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,239 Speaker 1: who are this is the underground Resistance movement. As they arrive, 94 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: they learned that the Emperor's second in command, an unhinged 95 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: gesture named Kevka, is about to launch an attack on 96 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: a city they just fled to claim the expert. That's 97 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: so affected Tara, so they rushed back to try to 98 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: step Kafka, and Tara suddenly transforms into an ethereal being, 99 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: screams and flies away, and the scream is very haunting. 100 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: By the way, um, it's one of the I think 101 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: only two sounds she makes in the game because this 102 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: was you know, early game, and you can look it 103 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: up on her like fandom page and you can play it, 104 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: and it gave the goose bumps. The game goose bumps. 105 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: Lock and the crew pursue her and find her being 106 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: healed and her memory restored by another expert, who reveals 107 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: that she is the hybrid daughter of an expert warrior 108 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: and a human mother. Uh Their hidden world was attacked 109 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: and both the parents perished. The Emperor killed Tara's mother 110 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: and kinnapped Tara. He took her back to the Empire 111 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: and experimented on her, using her to create the magic 112 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: Armory weaponry called magic Tech that allowed for their continued 113 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: dominance of this world, and Tara herself was used as 114 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: a living biological weapon. To control her, Kevka placed a 115 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: crown of enslavement on her and ordered her to kill 116 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: fifty soldiers in Magicitech armor. She completed the order in 117 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: three minutes. With her memories restored, she can now access 118 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: her esper abilities and I guess by the way, when 119 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: espers die, they turned into these crystals that the Empire 120 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: has been using to power their technology. They call them 121 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: Magic Site However, Tara is hamstrung by the memories of 122 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: what the Empire made her do and being made into 123 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: a weapon again, so she's a recurring theme throughout. She 124 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: is constantly questioning people's motivations. She's always wondering if they're 125 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: just using her for her magic. She helps the Returners 126 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: locate the hidden world of the Espers, but when released, 127 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: they start eventually attacking the Empire without thought, and this 128 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: forces the hand of the Emperor and he makes a 129 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: deal with the Returners um and they partner to bring 130 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: peace between the Espers and humanity. But alas it was 131 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: all a big scheme by the Emper and Gefka, and 132 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: they betray the alliance, of course, killing their on liaison 133 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: to Leo I Remember and several Espers. In their betrayal, 134 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: they attack the Esper world to get their hands on 135 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: the source of their power, an arcane object the Emperor 136 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: intends to use to grant him god like abilities. However, 137 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: another betrayal, Keefka, kills him, pushes the artifact out of 138 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: alignment to destroy the world, and of course gives himself 139 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: god like powers. This brings us to part two. Now 140 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: in the most apocalyptic world where Tara is optional and 141 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: I find this interesting because um an Empire spy named 142 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: Sellis who's kind of like an endemy of yours at 143 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: some point, but switch Sides is the one trying to 144 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: round up party members in part two, and I love Zellis. 145 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: I want to come back and do an episode on 146 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: her as well. She's got a whole opera scene that 147 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: I love anyway. Sellis finds a weekend to Tara, no 148 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: longer able to access her powers, and is now the 149 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: surrogate guardian for the children of a town kept burned 150 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: for he burned it down for defying him. Uh. Selli's 151 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: aids Tara and fighting a fire demon and if Tara 152 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: does not accompany you, it will attack again until she 153 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: rejoins the party. Tara is able to use her power, 154 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: but cannot revert back into her human form until she 155 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 1: realizes that the children who were initially afraid of her 156 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: esper appearance are still able to love and hope even 157 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: though the world is so dark at this point, and 158 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: that leads her to realize that so is she. She 159 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: can still love and she can still hope after all 160 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,719 Speaker 1: of her fears around that she entrusts the children to 161 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: the oldest of the group, who promised to watch over 162 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: them until she returns. The group goes to fight Kafka, 163 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: who has multiple like jibes and monologues about life not 164 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: being worth living, and the group, including Tara, provide many 165 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: excellent counterpoints. They defeat Kafka, but in doing so banished 166 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 1: magic and espers from the world. Tara is informed she 167 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: will disappear to unless she has learned how to love. 168 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: She begins to vanish, but it's pulled back at the 169 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: last minute, saved by the love for her friends and 170 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: the children. Life returns to their world as Tara goes 171 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: back home the end. Despite this being an ensemble game, 172 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: she's the main protagonist. Some people like to disagree, but 173 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: she is on the cover. She's in the original logo, 174 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: her theme is the main theme. She's appeared in other 175 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: games too, and I have I loved her costume. She 176 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: um I always wanted to do it at Dragon Con. 177 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: So she has like green hair, so I'd have to 178 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 1: get a green wig or dime my hair, I guess, 179 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: and a pink jumpsuit. It's kind of hard to tell 180 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: because the This was an early game, so that the 181 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: animation was a little you know, clunky, they're little sprites. 182 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: But I always thought she looked so cool as an Esper. 183 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: She had this like wild green hair. Um usually she 184 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: was naked, but the hair covered everything. Anyway, I digressed. 185 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: Tera wasn't supposed to necessarily be the protagonist, but I 186 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: think that she is. They wanted to showcase her arc 187 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: from a somewhat passive go with the flow character to 188 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: actively choosing her destiny. Hints why the second half starts 189 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: without her, um And there's certainly a bigger conversation that 190 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: we could have and have had about the whole like 191 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 1: giving up of being esper my magical abilities two to stay, 192 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: which is a storyline we see a lot with women, 193 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: but like the whole world got rid of all of 194 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: their magic anyway. Um. As a character, Terra is fairly 195 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: versatile in both magic and combat. She's able to use 196 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: things like swords and daggers. There is a whole classification 197 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: of things called female exclusive equipment that I want to 198 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: return to someday and do a whole episode on. So 199 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: these are like items that only women characters can use. 200 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 1: So in this game, it's like hair bands, mystery veils, tiaras, 201 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: the white dress, the regal gown, the Minerva Minerva bustier, 202 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: and the Princess ring. So yeah, one day there's also 203 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: items women can't use, so I could be a whole 204 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: fun episode. Nonetheless, Terra was really powerful and well balanced, 205 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: and I always wanted her in my party. And again 206 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: she can transform into an esper with her signature power 207 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: trance or morph, which was pretty good. I gotta say 208 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: the character was originally conceived as a young man, but 209 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: that idea evolved, and when this game came out in 210 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: the ninety nineties, a main woman character like that just 211 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: wasn't that common. Um, and she is well love. She 212 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: frequently pops up at the top of the list and 213 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: has many essays written about her character and why it 214 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: was important. People have argued she helped pave the way 215 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: for many video game heroines after her, and that she 216 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: had a complex and moving story that was rare and powerful. 217 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: Also kind of I guess worth noting Ters never coupled 218 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: with anyone romantically, but it was definitely implied that Locke 219 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: and King Edgar were interested. Um. But yeah, this game 220 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: was really formative for me. I no joke, think about 221 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: it all the time. I use it when I write stories. Uh, 222 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: It's got a lot of really fun elements like a 223 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: castle that compare itself, switching po vs, haunted trade and 224 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 1: haunted painting, and opera, vicious octopus, a frightening clown fishing 225 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: which was surprisingly fun. Um. But mostly it was a 226 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: really good story with an awesome character like Tara and 227 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: her path for self discovery being at the helm of it. 228 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: So I'm super excited to talk about her today and 229 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: now I so desperately want to play it again. Uh, 230 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: and I you know what, I just might, I just 231 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: might Well As always, listeners, if you have any suggestions 232 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 1: for this segment, please let us know.
