    Fantastic Lore Companion cast
    This cast is doing a great job shedding a bit of extra light on people and places in Eorzea that I glazed over in my initial playthrough. Great listen if you are typically a lore buff and are well ahead of the episodes in your own adventure. Also, if the hosts read these: the One Night in ULDAH drop in episode 1 immediately won me over, Chess is my favorite musical.
