Podcast appearances and mentions of alex fraioli

In this episode, we tackle a long-standing frustration of mine: the current state of Final Fantasy XIV. As someone who loved FFXIV 1.0, I've long been off the Final Fantasy XIV train. Today, I have some negative feelings about the game's current state, so I wanted to talk to someone who still likes it.Alex Fraioli, who previously appeared on our podcast about Love Letter RPGs, returns to discuss his love for Final Fantasy XIV in the modern day.Visit Alex's website for his links.

Respectful game criticism can be tough, especially when being critical. Alex Fraioli recently had to walk that line when creating a video criticizing the narratives and dialog of the 16-bit RPG love letters, Sea of Stars and Chained Echoes. I talk to him about his experience creating that video and about his hopes for creating his own RPG in the future.

Jeremy and Bob go international to examine the origins of the world's most influential console RPG series. First, we stop in Nagoya to talk Dragon Quest with Alex Fraioli. Then, USgamer's Nadia Oxford beams in from Canada to lament the cruelty of DQII.

In this episode Charlie talks to Alex Fraioli, the owner of Critical Hit Bar in Nagoya. Starting a business in Japan can be an incredibly tough challenge, and while you don't need Japanese you do need to have a lot of resilience. Alex shares his entrepreneurial journey with us.

This week on The Free Cheese Podcast: Joe sits down with Alex Fraioli of the No More Whoppers podcast and the bar CRITICAL HIT. We discuss living in Japan and how you can never get used to the xenophobia. We talk about Alex's bar, CRITICAL HIT, a bar centered around classic video games in Nagoya, Japan. Alex explains the benefits of living in Japan, along with some of the aspects of the country that make it difficult as an American. We discuss the reasons why classic video games will always be better than modern games, and how playing a game can take you back to that one kid's weird basement over twenty years later. Alex tells us what happens when you ignore your mail in Japan, and gives advice for anyone who is looking to open their own business or move to Japan. We also talk about his podcast, No More Whoppers, and how recording each week helps to keep everything in order.

Enix's Dragon Quest series was an ostensibly unremarkable RPG when it first came out in Japan, but it soon swept the nation and is now a guaranteed blockbuster. The series was less loved in America, but those who stuck with it -- like us! -- got just as much enjoyment out of it. Ray Barnholt and Alex Fraioli return for a game-by-game chat of the entire Dragon Quest series, including speculation about its upcoming online sequel, Dragon Quest X. // www.crunkgames.com// scroll.vg

In December 2000, Sega released Phantasy Star Online for Dreamcast. PSO not only brought back a dormant RPG franchise, but it legitimized large-scale online play on game consoles. But after PSO, what else was there? Rather than tackle this in writing on their outdated web site, Crunk Games' Ray Barnholt and certified Phantasy Star nut Alex Fraioli harness the magic of audio to review and reminisce about the Phantasy Star series in the 10 years following PSO. Including making fun of PS Universe. ** www.crunkgames.com ** Artwork: Erin Mehlos
