   Cat and Jess are hard at work on completing the final episodes of "MOTHER," She Wrote's epic adventure through EarthBound Beginnings! In this Coffee Break, they share some details for what's in store and pick back up on a thread you may remember from Episode Zero: early in their relationship, Jess and Cat set out to play each other's favorite video games. Jess played Cat's favorite video game, EarthBound, and Cat started playing Jess' favorite video game: Final Fantasy VI (originally released as Final Fantasy III in the US). At long last, Cat has finally finished playing this legendary milestone in RPG video games and in this episode she shares her thoughts on the game, her experiences with it, and how its informed her perspective on the arc of RPG history.
