- Favorite Characters
- Classes and Promotions
- Debate around what the 'best' of each class is (Knight, Mage, Healers, Warriors, ect)
- The way the RNG works for level ups and characters growth charts
- The strange or comedic elements to the game (The play in the first town of Chapter 2, being turned into a chicken in Manarina, Jogurts various appearances, ect)
- The Remake on GBA as well as the increasing difficulty (Balbazak might want to talk about his insanity in getting so many stars)
- The difficulty and the ways people have found to make the game more challenging. Specifically with this you could include guests who made the various difficulty patches, people who did special runs like I did for Challenge mode or the single character runs of the game and others like that. Also Team SFC Shining Force, those were always entertaining.
- The Lore around the game (also for the sequels how elements from the previous games make their way into the newer ones) also could have a discussion on the timeline as well.

Ansa brings up a couple of things that many might be wondering.
How long will the episodes be and roughly how many of them will there be.
I would defer a concrete answer until the core group is in place, but I'm thinking:
An hour or so max. I wouldn't be worried about hitting a certain time, just whenever the subject has been covered, but longer discussions may require multiple episodes.
I see 20 without diving too deep into the details. Once the basic info episodes are done, then the contributors can decide on additional episodes. I personally would like to do a couple on similar games, for example, so it will depend on the contributors and what content they are passionate about presenting.
An additional thought worth sharing is that I would like these to be timeless. Little to nothing that isn't related to the subject or that will become irrelevant. We will have fun and have banter, but in 10 years, or 20 years, I would like these to hold up.

I think it's important to figure out what the target demographic of the podcast will be? Because if it's SFC regulars, or people familiar with Shining Force, certain topics will almost certainly be redundant.

Currently in the middle of playing through all of them in Japanese btw.
Living in Tokyo, so time difference might be an issue though.
