Mythic Mind Games is a conversation about video games as secondary worlds. We look at story, design, and the moral imagination of play: what games train us to love, fear, hope for, and become. This is not a review show and not a strategy guide. Episodes sit with particular games and ask what they are doing to the soul. Grief, home, identity, freedom, and wonder show up here as often as bosses and endings. Hosted by Andrew Snyder, Ph.D., alongside friends from the Fellowship.

(Søren Kierkegaard) Final Fantasy Tactics stages justice, class warfare, and a church that looks faithful while feeding demonic deception. Ramza's war for order sits beside Delita's rise, and the Lucavi plot under the surface of Ivalice's politics. In this Mythic Mind Games episode, Dr. Andrew Snyder reads FFT as a story about what lurks beneath political movements: genuine prayer and salvation language at the start, then a religion unmasked as demonic revolution against true justice.
