Hey folks. Sorry about the delay on this one, but we explain at the front of the show.
This episode we're headed to Facade and get to talk about the cultures that sprout up in Nier Replicant's version of the post-apocalypse.
Also in this show, we talk about episode rollout for the Nier season, and try our best not doomsay about BioWare in a mini BioBit.
Enjoy the show!
Hey! Sorry this one's late. We're caught up in another big RPG that's coming out tomorrow that we're not allowed to talk about yet but will probably on this show, even.

Hey. We're back! Sorry it took so long.
This season we're diving into the Nier series, starting with Nier Replicant, the remaster of the original game. In this first episode we talk through the series' Drakengard backstory, our history with the series, and play through the first section of the story of Nier and Yonah.
Enjoy the show!

Hey all. We're gearing up to start the Nier season of Normandy FM, and as such, that means the Patreon will be starting up again. We won't be turning it back on until August just so everyone has a chance to assess their subscription. But that does mean that you'll get access to episodes early throughout July free of charge just for sticking around during this hiatus.
So this is us just p...
Hey folks. Ken here. Wanted to drop a quick line here about the Nier season.
Our plan now is for Normandy FM to return to its regularly scheduled programming in July. On top of my recovery, Eric and I are about to enter Big Summer Video Game Bullshit Time in the coming weeks. Between Zelda, Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, and some industry events, we're gonna be real busy at our day jobs ...
Hey folks! It's been a minute.
At this year's PAX East we had a fun panel with returning guest Janet Garcia and newcomers Carli Velocci and Jarrett Green. Eric made Tinder profiles for a handful of video game characters and the panel decided whether or not they'd swipe right or left on your faves. We've included a Google Presentation link of the slides for y'all to follow along with the a...
2023-04-09 22:35:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone. We wanted to take a moment ahead of the Cyberpunk 2077 finale to set some expectations, as the show will have to go on a brief hiatus ahead of the Nier season. Some life stuff has come up, and we're not going to be able to pick up right after Cyberpunk as planned, so we decided to put this announcement on the podcast feed where everyone would hear it.
The Patreon will be fr...
Hey, folks. We’ve decided to postpone the planned mailbag episode until January while Ken recovers. But this does mean y’all have some more time to submit questions for us to answer to normandyfm@gmail.com before we record. Thanks for understanding!

2022-12-01 00:55:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey y'all. This is a public post so that it can be viewable to all patrons. But for those who don't subscribe at the $5+ level, we just released the Cyberpunk 2077 finale for that tier and up. The Cyberpunk season of Normandy FM will be rolling out publicly up until the first week of the new year. So the show's pretty well set for a few months.
The reason we recorded the Cyberpunk season...
And so V and Johnny Silverhand's story comes to an end.
In our Cyberpunk 2077 finale, we talk about all the games' endings and why we picked the ones we did in the end of our respective playthroughs. We touch on the inner politics of Arasaka, finding a new family in the Aldecaldos, and what it means to stay in Night City after everything V has been through.
We also close out the epi...
2022-10-31 02:50:42 +0000 UTC View PostBefore we head into the finale, we've got some odds and ends to clean up. Collin MacGregor and Sam Greer join us to talk through some of Cyberpunk 2077's Act 3 side quests, and we work through our feelings on the uneven segment of the game, and hypothesize why it ran out of steam at the very end.
Enjoy the show!

After patiently waiting for a dozen episodes, it's time for Ken's V to find love. This episode is all about Kerry Eurodyne, his feelings about the life he's made, why Johnny's return has thrown a wrench into it, and how Ken's V can fix him.
Enjoy the show!

It's finally time to talk about the man in our head. It's the Johnny Silverhand episode.
Tim Rogers joins us as we talk through Johnny Silverhand's relationship to those in life and in death, discuss how Cyberpunk 2077 handles V's autonomy as Johnny starts to take control, and finally meet Ken's boyfriend: Kerry Eurodyne.
Enjoy the show!

We ran into some unfortunate audio issues with this one. We've attempted to salvage the conversation and bring y'all a good episode, even if it doesn't match up to our typical audio standards. But that's the nature of recording podcasts remotely. Tech issues happen. We hope y'all will still enjoy this episode for the quality discussion.

Why does this game hate Evelyn Parker?
Edit 6/27, 12:53 am: Hey folks. Noticing an audio echo issue on this episode that I could only hear when I got to hear it on my airpods 🙃 will address this tomorrow and get an updated audio file swapped in. The same link should work fine! Apologies!
Edit 6/27, 11:06 am: Hey again! Things should be fixed now. Sorry about that!
Y'all ready for a heist?

Homestretch, y'all. Just a heads up: We're looking into finishing the next three episodes over the course of the next two weeks. These will be the last episodes of our Final Fantasy X season, covering X-2's final chapter and the broader FFX extended universe content. Then our plan is to head straight into Cyberpunk 2077 and start banking those episodes, as well. We'll likely be putting out an a...
