Well i'll be damned. Ya guys have done it again with another great podcast! Cant wait for ep.4! Keep up the good work guys! And half a year on an MMO? Try and top 6 years.
PS: Emilia haters need to take a chill pill. Come on guys and gals. It aint that damn annoying. It isnt even annoying to begin with! * Whispers* Megid claims another victim.
PSS: Why is it that she has a past that's pretty interesting and sad just like her video game counter part? Coincidence? Maybe. PSSS:Why'd ya leave out this charm? http://www.pso-world.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=1235&pictureid=14928 Also Two more words. SEGA! And... Chain 56! Yeah!

I now have a new-found respect for Emilia, and voice acting in general. And yes, it is quite the shame that the western release didn't have dialogue outside of cutscenes. Perhaps when Infinity rolls around the corner for overseas Sega would consider that.
Anyway, great job on the podcast, gentlemen and lady. Humoruos and informative. Keep it up!
MEGID!

This episode is a variation from the previous two. It should give regular listeners a chance to hear something different.

Emilia could buy a few game point cards and download it from her console if she does decide to check out the classic Phantasy Star games!!! Smiley faaaaace.

8 years here. Though the game I'm talking about have gone through major changes and is by many not concidered the same game anymore.
Anyway, great podcast. I can't wait to hear the next one ^_^

[Ovada]

"Okay, now I'm not hearing anybody, lol"

"MEGID!"

"Aah!"

Stephanie Komure~ <3 <3 <3

I went from not knowing who she was, to being her biggest fan in an hour XD
I'm glad she came here and spoke with us, that's awesome. I wonder how much she charges for a custom Emilia'ish voicemail message, lol. I'd love for Emilia to tell people that I'm too busy playing Phantasy Star to get to the phone

[Ovada]

Dangit, I'm all giddy over this XD
Please come back and join in another podcast! :3

What I wanted u guys to ask her was if offered would she do the voice for text in infinity

[Blizz3112]

Quite the chatterbox isn't she? I assume, she needs to be for her job, right?
