033: Emet-Selch Is Smarter Than You Thought

In this episode of the premiere Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker lore podcast, Sean and Chadd look at the narrative of Emet-Selch in Shadowbringers in dialogue with with works of Susan Sontag. Along the way, they talk about disease, Camp, and the inexorable replacement and preservation of memory, and come to a surprisingly concrete conclusion about the nature of the text of FFXIV: Shadowbringers.
