A, B, C, D, FF3 / Feels like a mid-rank to meVery few podcast, article, or video topics on the internet get folks more enthusiastic or more up in arms than tiers, lists, or a combination thereof. On today's emotional episode of Retro Encounter, four panelists play a fantasy-draft style game to place the main-series Final Fantasy games (plus FF Tactics) into five tiers. What quintet of RPGs land in the coveted S tier? Which panelists skipped the PS3 and PS4 entries in the series? Listen to find out! Prepare to feel feelings!

t's getting crazy out there. Fresh off of E3 Lite comes a slew of new game announcements, more than we could possibly cover, nonetheless play. And this brings up a good point, one we burrow down on: Who's gonna be able to buy and play all of this stuff in an ecosystem dominated by vacuum-like powerhouses that leave little room for competition? Are we nearing a breaking point, where there are simply too many games seeking too few players spending too few dollars, even as the industry grows? Well, we're about to find out. The news this week is otherwise copious: Horizon LEGO Adventures is coming to PS5 and PC... and Nintendo Switch?! Mark Cerny gives a rare interview and provides some insight into PlayStation's thought processes. Black Ops 6, Slitterhead, Civilization VII, The Thing Remastered, Doom: The Dark Ages, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and so much more were announced. Sea of Thieves dominates the PlayStation Network, foretelling an obvious continuing migration of Xbox games to PS5. And much more! Then: Listener inquiries. Is Astro's Playroom teasing upcoming PlayStation announcements? How come publishers and developers are keeping specific release dates so close to their vests? Could anything get us excited about Assassin's Creed Shadows? Is Colin accidentally inhaling mind-altering chemicals while he cleans the shower? This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

This week, we're chatting about Dragon Quest Wars. Since the eShop closed for the 3DS it seemed like a good time to chat about this DSiWare game. We also talk about other DSiWare games and about tactical RPGs, including Vandal Hearts, Battle Ogre, FF Tactics, Triangle Strategy, and more. Plus, some tidbits on Advance Wars and Infinity Strash releasing later this year.

Retro Rewind will be once per month, a currently available game with a corresponding episode of On Topic Retro. Retro Rewind PLUS will be every 3 month and feature a more obscure game that may require you to buy physically. Keeping cost in mind. Icebreaker - what did you buy? And what did you play?

I'm going to list off 4-5 games, and everyone else has to guess how much the games are worth in total. Whoever's guess is the closest wins that round, and the next person lists off their games. Everyone brought a list of games, and everyone guesses on each other's lists. At the end of the game, whoever won the most rounds wins the game! But look out for Polterguest! He guesses $300 on each list, and if he wins the game I have to give away a sticker from the merch store!” Dan's list Sam's list John's list “Spot the fake” We're given a list of game titles, and we have to guess which one was made up. “Games Described Badly” We're given several descriptions of video games and we have to guess what game is being described. "Retro-pedia" I'm going to start reading the description of a game from wikipedia. As soon as you think you know it, yell out your answer! If you're wrong I'm giving the other people an opportunity to guess. If everyone's wrong I'll keep reading until someone else yells out. “Trivia Card” Check out the Price Is Retro Database at Retrologic.games, we'll be having Flightsy on an episode coming up to talk PiR stats! Show Topic Topic: 2022, the year of tactics. Advance Wars: Re-Boot Camp Triangle Strategy Mario VS Rabbids: Sparks of Hope Metal Slug Tactics Front Mission 1st Dune Spice Wars twodollarhero — My love for the criminally underrated Codename STEAM is well documented at this point, but I'm constantly thinking about how good Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was. Every time it comes up in conversation, it's like a fever dream. That concept had no business being that good of a strategy game. the Well-Red Mage — FF Tactics, somedays my all-time favorite Final Fantasy ❤️ Fight Crab Fanatic — Jeanne D'Arc for the PSP was really good (and unforgiving) Mystaria Realms of Lore for the Sega Saturn oops — Tactics ogre and final fantasy tactics (my favorite game of all time)are the goats but a very underrated game I really enjoyed was arc the lad twilight of spirits on ps2. ElPeeDee (Liam D) — the Fire Emblem and Advance Wars GBA games are favorites of mine since I played them on my SP in the back of my college Economics classes (woops). in the broader strategy sense, i spent a lot of time playing the Command & Conquer series over the years and just started playing through Warcraft 2 again. I love base building and planning out offensives Flightsy — Does Pikmin count? I don't really play tactics games, but they've always seemed interesting. Actually, this leads into a CCQ of my own! What are some good Strategy and Tactics games I could try out? solo_something — FE 3 houses. Love how it's tactics and some drops of rpg running around the grounds as I complete quest, reunite missing items, and take time for a cup of tea; sometimes from what I planted. Also, helping a girl realize she doesn't have to stay locked up in her room. SpiderShan — I have the most experience with Fire Emblem games which I first picked up on a whim on GameCube (Path of Radiance). Since then I've played nearly all the English released games in the series. I don't mind the newer games like Three Houses, but I miss the older ones without the dating/marrying/kids stuff. My favorite strategy game is probably the original FF:Tactics. The GBA sequel was okay but I wasn't crazy about the Law mechanics which bogged down the battles. I really want to get into Triangle Strategy one of these days! Community Couch Questions Flightsy — CCQ: How do you find good retro stores near you? I've tried looking it up and only stuff like Game stop and Disc Replay seems to come up. Fight Crab Fanatic — If you had to collect a niche of retro games what would you pick? (example: WWII games, Wrestling games, The DS Imagine Babysitters series) oops — 03/19/2022 What's a game you missed when it was new then revisited later and you could not believe how good it was?

In this episode Gino, Pete, and Em discuss the Project Triangle Strategy demo with special guest Matthew Rorie of Giantbomb.com. We cover the demo's odd choice to start in the middle of the story with little context, it's very FF Tactics-style gameplay, and its Game of Thrones world. We conclude by asking everyone if they were inspired by the demo to actually pick up the full game. You can follow Rorie @frailgesture on Twitter.

Austin had some top secret access on iOS and B.J. got selected for it on Google Play Store. So today, we’re talking about it! Austin was able to write about it for work, so read his ScreenRant article here: https://screenrant.com/dragon-quest-tact-preview-monster-collecting-mechanics/ Monsters and Gameplay It’s like Pokemon meets FF Tactics, but all simplified for a mobile game (for good and bad). Collecting monsters is cool, and it almost makes Austin want a strategy-based combat system in the upcoming Erik and Mia DQM game. Almost. We love the monster designs. We talk about our favorites. What are yours? How Long Is the Beta? Both betas go until Chapter 6, Stage 9. Some minor SPOILERs here. But it's a mobile strategy game, so it's not that much. What Did we like/hate about DQ Tact? Like: the monster recruiting mechanics and the cast Hate: the tactics part is pretty surface level. I wish there was more variety in stages, rather than just “oooh look, a barrel is here now.” Also, HATE all the in-your-face ads and premium stuff that I’m sure will be even worse in the real game. After playing the beta, I don’t know that I have it in me to play through ALL of that all over again. But maybe. And remember, next week, is our annual Dragon Quest Special Halloween episode! It’s gonna be so much it’s...scary!

The Retronauts East crew (Jeremy Parish, Benj Edwards, Ben Elgin, and Chris Sims) responds to YOUR letters about episode topics that may or may not have already been published, including New Super Mario Bros. and Final Fantasy Tactics.
In This Episode: EA - June 8 Jedi Fallen Order Metroidvania-ish (Metroid Prime) Not hack and slash combat. More measured. Looks like an approachable dark souls combat style (minus the frustration?) After order 66 and before Rogue One Microsoft - June 9, 3pm CST The Outer worlds The interesting parts of fallout in a sci-fi setting On game pass October 2019 Bleeding Edge 4v4 Online melee combat Game pass Minecraft Dungeons Minecraft Diablo My kids want this Spiritfarer Way to the Woods Cyberpunk 2077 Keanu Reeves Spring 2020 Battletoads Microsoft bought Doublefine Psychonauts 2 LEGO Star Wars Skywalker Saga Gears of War 5 Phantasy Star Online 2 Tales of Arise Elden Ring Next Xbox “Project Scarlett” - Holiday 2020 4 generations of content Connect across devices Launching project Scarlett with Halo Infinite Xbox Game Pass on PC ($5/month) Xbox ($10/month) and Ultimate on Xbox/PC ($15/month including Xbox live gold) Basically, if you’re going to buy 2+ games during the year that are exclusive to Microsoft game studios then this is a good deal Phil spencer seems like an executive that actually gets video games. It feels like he wants all games on all platforms. Cross play Play wherever you want Game pass seems like a better and better deal all the time 34 games premiering on game pass from the press conference alone Xcloud streaming From the cloud or from your own Xbox I hope PS5 does something similar Xbox Game Pass is the only thing getting me to actually consider Xbox for the next gen system. I still wouldn’t get it as my primary console. I think I’m pretty set on PS ecosystem at the moment for my main console. Bethesda - June 9, 7:30pm CST Boring updates on Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Blades Battle Royale, bleh Ghostwire Tokyo ESO more season of the dragon content Commander Keen Mobile game Boring updates on elder scrolls legends, rage 2, wolfenstein Deathloop Arkane game with time loop No actual gameplay though, but an interesting premise Orion game streaming Doom Eternal Devolver Digital - June 9, 9pm CST Direct ripping off Nintendo… I love it Stole the whole graphics package. Wow, well done. Fall Guys was the only real game worth mentioning https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=2OAVHWmeV0c PC Gaming - June 10, Noon CST Vampire the Masquerade 2 Ubisoft - June 10, 3pm CST Watchdogs Legion London, lots of playable characters and the ability to recruit everyone No main character, you gather a ton of characters. Individual characters can die but you can recruit more. Lots of interesting systemic things going on I’m more interested in this than any of the past Watchdogs games I want to see a systemic game without a central hero Mythic Quest TV show Rainbow six siege new season Ghost Recon Elite Squad (Mobile) Uplay+ $14.99 for all their games Stadia too Roller Champions Free alpha e3 demo now Free to play Gods and monsters Mythology game AC team Trailer hints at mix of assassin's creed and breath of the wild Square Enix - June 10, 8pm CST FFVII Remake March 2020 First game is midgar but an expanded Midgar 2 BluRay discs Real time action RPG ATB bars that fill up when you land standard attack Use them for tactical mode (slow mo almost turn based abilities) Spells and special abilities They must be stretching out the story. This first game is only Midgar. Midgar in FFVII is only like 5-6 hours if you’re going slow and taking your time. This game is 2 Blu Rays worth of game. They have to flesh it out. Sephiroth is here and talking to Cloud in Midgar, so there are definitely changes. FFVII isn’t actually that deep of a story. It was for the time for a video game… but it’s really not overall. What if they never make part 2? Or 3? Or however many parts it will be. Most of the main characters aren’t even in Midgar. Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Aeris, and (barely) Red XIII. Life is strange 2 Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remaster PS4, Switch, Mobile Last remnant Remaster Available immediately Dragon Quest Builders 2 DQXI on Switch - Fall Circuit superstars KH3 DLC FFXIV Shadowbringers new trailer Romancing Saga 3 Saga Scarlett Grace War of the visions FFBE Looks like a FF Tactics game Outriders Oninaki FFVIII Remaster 2019 Out on everything including Switch Avengers Looks like it could be good, but it was hard to tell gameplay from cutscenes Hawkeye gets left out Single player and co op Separate from all existing Avengers stuff Multiple year content release schedule? New super heroes and regions at no extra cost. No loot boxes or P2W I come out of this more skeptical than I was going in Out on everything except Switch May 2020 Nintendo - June 11, 11am CST Early E3 - Pokemon Sword/Shield Legendaries and release date (Nov 15) Dynamax Wild Areas! Raids E3: Pokeball+ lets you take it away from the game, but you can’t use it as a controller. Floor demo has Water gym, Nessa as trainer, and uses dynamax Treehouse has live gameplay, so go watch archives ALL the DQ heroes in Smash. Not just Erdrick, but from all the other games, too.

As you can see, Joe didn't finish Final Fantasy tactics yet again. Instead of reviewing the classic game, the guys sit down to discuss a few tactics for Final Fantasy Tactics. This idea came from Joe's recent destruction at the hands of Belias. They also cover a very interesting piece of news involving Al-Qaeda. Enjoy!
Spotlight: Yasumi Matsuno Now that we’ve officially in the Tactics run of the Ivalice era, I figured that now would be a good time to shine a little light on a huge force behind the scenes of the Tactics games: Video Game Designer, Director, and Producer, one with an absolutely stellar career: Yasumi Matsuno. Yasumi Matsuno was born October 24th, 1965 in Myoko, in the Niigata Prefecture of Japan. Growing up in a rural environment, Matsuno claims that he was very isolated as a child. Thus, nearly all of his time was spent in front of television screens, reading books, and practicing the very specific hobby of creating dioramas, especially those based on World War 2. Oddly enough, quite the indoor kid considering that he grew up in the countryside. His had his first video game experiences as a high schooler, playing one of two arcade games at the local train station. One was PacMan, a game I’m sure we’re all familiar with, and the other was a game called “Xevius”, a vertically scrolling shooter war game where you take on the role of a combat airplane. Matsuno wanted to become a writer for either books or movies, but he decided to do the smart thing and go to college and study Foreign Policy. Finding his studies unfulfilling, he dropped out of school after 3 years to pursue his dreams. He did manage to get a writing gig as an economic reporter, but he wanted something more creative. A fan of the games Ultima Online, Dragon Quest, and The Legend of Zelda, he tried to land a writing job at a gaming company. Incredibly good at getting jobs, Matsuno landed a lead “Planner” position at a game developer called “Quest”. The first game he did “planning” for was for the NES game “Conquest of the Crystal Palace”, not much is known about this game’s development, except that this was the first time Matsuno and his later partner in crime, composer Masaharu Iwata, began working together. Moving up to a director position at Quest, Matsuno pitched a Fantasy RPG strategy game that would be put out on the new SNES. Borrowing strategy, fantasy, and Active-Time elements from the games “Nobunaga’s Ambition”, “Daisenryaku”, and “Master of Monsters”, game would come to be known as “Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen”. If I were to describe the gameplay to a Final Fantasy player, it would be Final Fantasy Tactics, but with a much simpler map. A couple interesting facts about the game: the North American Edition of the SNES version is considered one of the rarest games of all time since only 5000 copies were ever shipped. Another odd fact: Ogre Battle was a Queen song, and also Queen’s name is used in The “March of the Black Queen” part of the title. Basically, Matsuno is a huge fan of Queen and refers to them often in his games. After the success of Ogre Battle, Matsuno would get to work on a sequel, changing the gameplay in drastic ways, focusing more on intimate battles, and making the world a 3D one. Behold the awkwardly titled “Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together”. Now Ogre Battle was pretty much FF Tactics, but this, if you’ve seen screenshots of it, was almost exactly the same game, but with a tragic multi-branching storyline inspired by the Bosnian Genocide. Tactics Ogre was an extremely popular game, with RPG Gamer calling it “forever [...] a masterpiece”. Oh, and “Let Us Cling Together” is a Queen song. Not one to stay anywhere for very long, in 1995 Yasumi Matsuno quit “Quest” to move to the big leagues. He would get a job at Square Soft, getting to work on a game very, very, very, similar to Tactics Ogre, a game called… ...Bahamut Lagoon. ...Which would later have the Final Fantasy name slapped on it in the form of “Final Fantasy Tactics”. Tactics, of course, would turn out to be legendary. As in hearing people tell us to get to tactics is a legendary pain in the ass. That’s how popular the game has become. Creating the Ivalice Universe, Matsuno would stretch his strategic and tactical game design skills in the loosely-related Vagrant Story. Inspired by architecture from France, nearly canceled due to it’s size, it released in 2000, and would be a smash hit, and earn the coveted 40/40 from Famitsu Magazine. Next he would oversee Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced in a producer role, and also help out with the horrible PlayOnline Function on FFXI, but his next big gig would be as co-director (along with Hiroyuki Ito) of a little PS2 game called “Final Fantasy XII”. FF12’s development history is insane and I’m not gonna get into it here, but Matsuno was one of the people deeply upset by Hironobu Sakaguchi’s messy departure from Square-Enix, and quit square officially over “illness”, which may or may not be true, we talk about that on the FF12 review I think. Since 2006, Matsuno has been a free man, a freelance game that many companies have clamored for. He wrote the super-violent Wii game “Madworld”, as well as the 3DS game “Crimson Shroud”. He was asked to help write another Tactics Ogre Game, and even worked with Hironobu Sakaguchi on his mobile title “Terra Battle”. Currently he’s working on two games for Mobile Platforms, “Unsung Story” and Lost Order”. In conclusion, for those guys who think that the greatest Final Fantasy game of all time is Tactics, you know who to thank. Matsuno is one of those game Directors who truly has a unique style. Way to go, Matsuno
The guard shifts this week, as Jeremy takes over hosting duties for Games, Dammit. Since Jeremy was too busy being in meetings, he didn't prepare show notes, so he, Scooter, Jose Otero, and Ryan Winterhalter talk about a bunch of random stuff. Here's a list to illustrate how off-topic this episode gets: Mario Kart 7, a hypothetical Star Dracula Kart, PlayStation Vita and a Black Eyed Pea, the big stick robbery, "Rage guy", James Bond, Superman, Yuji Naka's fishing game, Japanese vacation games, incompetent Ziff-Davis executives, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online, the FFV Four Job Fiesta, FF Tactics for iOS, and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Tune in next week for either normal games podcasting or more off-topic shenanigans.
