Episode 244: The Psychology of Final Fantasy with Dr. Anthony M. Bean

The Final Fantasy series has made for some of the most beloved storytelling in all of video games, but it goes beyond giant swords, spiky hair, and fancy graphics. There's an entire world of psychology behind every cast of characters, every world full of crystals, and every mustache-twirling villain. Dr. Anthony M. Bean's new book, SURPASSING THE LIMIT BREAK: THE PSYCHOLOGY OF FINAL FANTASY, explores the elements of psychological science that permeate these fantasy worlds, from trauma, to life and death, holistic crystals, and even gender identity and subtypes. If you've ever wanted to know how Final Fantasy's stories interact with our brains, he's the guy to listen to.
