We sit down with Pokemaster JoCat to learn a thing to or about the wild world of Nuzlockes! JoCat is fresh off their own Pokemon Journey and shares all the required rules for our upcoming Soul Silver / Heart Gold adventure. But It doesn't stop there: Garrett and Kyle have built the tech to take this adventure to the next level. Our upcoming Soul Link adventure will be also Randomized. Jocat has a few tips and house rules that might elevate some pressure, but it's going to be an uphill battle with our terribily outdated knowledge. We also open some random starters to get a feel for the meta and what we will need to know. Supportourbromance.com and all your pulls will be Garchomp.
FFXIV is a game where one character can do it all, where you can quest along side friends and build a community to join you in your journey: Rath Games took that personally. Garrett and Kyle sit down with the man who has set out on the wild adventure to defeat Endwalker by himself. No damage is too great, no check to impossible for Solo Only. From his favorite MMOs to his background in Game Development, to the video production process, Rath gives us a behind the scene look at what it has taken to make his journey come to life.

While at Fan Fest we made some new friends. Friends who may have not played FF14 in a while, who may have experienced the Fan Fest crowd and energy for the first time. Let's see what they are feeling after the bombastic weekend that was. SupportOurBromance.com or we'll be more angry about Dawntrail.
In this episode of the Vookcast, Ollie, Luke, and Michael are back to chat about a host of recently classified but totally unannounced games for Switch 2. They also dive deep into new announcements for upcoming Switch 2 games, like Splatoon Raiders, Orbitals, and Final Fantasy 14, and lament the messy world of HDR content.It's all capped off with an incredible game of Nintendo 20 Questions.

We gather the Round Table to discuss the big news and the future of our beloved MMO. Fan Fest announcements, Evercold Trailer, Evolved Combat and more. The "vacation" expansion Dawntrail seems brighter knowing we head into the darkness again. What was the crowds reaction? What was life like online during the big announcements. Jesse Cox and Preach "the big man" return for the big talk. SupportOurBromance.com or we'll never ask Preach to watch Evangelion again.
Hallo Freunde fürs Extraleben,mit dem Titel der heutigen Episode sind spezifisch zwei Meldungen der gemeint: Letzte Woche spekulierten wir noch über den Preis und die Zukunft von Gamepass, diese Woche ist die Preisänderung schon Realität. Wir reden drüber, ob das nun der entscheidende, große Schritt für Gamepass in die richtige Richtung ist und ob noch mehr Änderungen kommen werden. Zudem bewahrheiteten sich die Gerüchte um Assassins Creed Black Flag Resynced. Tatsächlich kommt das Remake des Ubisoft-Hits schon im Juli und Manuel und Daniel haben durchaus Bock drauf!Des Weiteren in den News: ein releasedate für Splatoon Raiders sowie diverse Switch 2-Ports, neue Kuriositäten aus dem Hause Build A Rocket Boy und Neuigkeiten zu den filmischen Umsetzungen von Zelda und Elden Ring.Gespielt wurde natürlich auch: Daniel ist weiterhin begeistert von Pragmata und Marathon, während Manuel mit dem Ende von Death Howl so seine Probleme hat, dafür aber viel Gefallen an Tomodachi Life findet.Viel Spaß!Dies und Das05:46 Daniel empfiehlt PluribusWas wird denn hier gespielt?09:27 Manuel hat Death Howl tatsächlich (bewusst) nicht beendet29:49 Daniel lobt abermals Marathon47:25 Manuel und seine Miis59:45 Daniel spielt weiterhin PragmataNachrichten aus der Spielebranche1:06:00 Xbox senkt die Gamepass-Preise (und schmeißt COD raus)1:15:07 AC Black Flag Resynced kommt im Juli1:27:18 Splatoon Raiders hat ein releasedate1:32:34 FF14 kommt für Switch 21:38:15 Annapurna kündigt diverse Switch 2-Ports an1:40:31 Bei BARB wird alles noch bizarrer1:46:43 Pragmata verkauft sich gut1:51:35 Die Dreharbeiten zum Zelda-Film sind abgeschlossen1:56:48 Wird Elden Ring der bisher teuerste A24-Film? ffelpodcast@gmail.comExtrafreunde@social.colognehttps://www.facebook.com/Extrafreundehttps://www.instagram.com/extrafreundehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGusrYncNi-relSm6YC8k7Q
Kelley is here to introduce the new Home Maintenance 'Cast. Matt is finally freed from the drudgery of the Atelier gauntlet, but is now avoiding all the games... because they're SaGa. Andi is enjoying the bonus bleeps from Chris across the room. Oh, and there's another person we can't give a boat to. Question of the Week Is this the expansion that gets you into (or returning to) FF14? Check out the show notes here! The post RPG Cast – Episode 810: “Steampunk Ys Metroidvania” appeared first on RPGamer.
Pre-Fan Fest special!
「「FF14」パッチ7.5「彼方に至る路」のトレーラーが公開!メインクエスト「彼方に至る路」や「FF11」コラボ第3弾「ウィンダス:ザ・サードウォーク」が登場」 スクウェア・エニックスは、オンラインRPG「ファイナルファンタジーXIV」において、4月28日に公開予定の大型アップデート パッチ7.5「彼方に至る路」のトレーラーを公開した。
In today's Daily Fix:Crimson Desert had a strong debut, with hundreds of thousands of gamers firing up the game during its debut weekend, but user reviews have been mixed. Many complained about bugs and other technical issues, and thankfully publisher/developer Pearl Abyss has responded with a patch that fixes many of these problems. The game's Steam reviews now currently sit at 'Most Positive' after the patch went live. In related news, Pearl Abyss finally admitted to using generative A.I. for some of the game's 2D assets, explaining that they were meant as placeholders until proper asserts could be made. Pearl Abyss is now doing an audit of the entire game to replace these assets. And finally, FF14 director Yoshi-P blames the Final Fantasy series' long development times for younger games not engaging with the storied franchise.
We played Deadlock. A lot of Deadlock. The memes are true, it will overwhelm you and you'll be left wanting more. Kyle is happy to report that Slay the Spire 2 is more Slay the Spire, exactly what we wanted. Garrett played World of Warcraft, and its exactly what he wanted. Nintendo sueing America? Everyone wants that. But it seems not everyone wanted FF14 loot? This is GG Podcast. Supportourbromance.com or we'll make Grinding Gear 2, but it will be DIFFERENT! '
Games come and games go, some fast and some slow. This is Grinding Gear podcast where we discuss all the industry happenings, along with our own retro journey. Sony Pulls back from games on PC. Resident Evil 9 sold well, but lacks cultural splash. Highguard announces final update. Crimson Desert hype is building? Pokopia crits player desires. We've been playing Arc Raiders, RE1, Minecraft, FF14 and Deadlock.
Jesse and Preach return to the Podcast to discuss the MSQ that was and the surrounding state of MMOs. Final Fantasy XIV has delivered a tight patch and a glimpse at where the story is heading. We question what will be important later, who are the Winterers, the Squirrel Suit, what was Yoshi P hinting at and much much more. Fan Fest will be here before we know it and the Roundtable shall return. Supportourbromance.com or Alphinaud will just stand there in 8.0.
You'll take our PCs from our old RAM hands! On the GG podcast this week Kyle is lost in the BG3 sauce again, Garrett gets sold on Blue Mage, Highguard sure has low hype, AI might be on the ropes, and folks want to know about Garrett's NYC adventures!

Hello Adventurers! Wait, is that how it goes for this? Does it even matter? Who knows! So this episode, theoretically a "bonus" episode, is actually a product of two years worth of work. In 2024, over the course of two different panels at MomoCon and KamiCon HAI (RIP), we had panels where we attempted to rank all the mainline Final Fantasies (plus two bonus games). As we had different people on each panel, we of course had two different rankings! What was a podcast to do? Well, all six of us got together to record One Final (Fantasy) Podcast to determine the final ranking. This is that episode! PS You may notice that we have not indicated if this is an OSMcast! or a Carbuncle Chronicle episode. That's because it's both! Almost all of the OSMcast! side, and all of The Carbuncle Chronicle side are in this, AND it covers Final Fantasy XIV to boot, so it made sense to just call it an episode for both. OSMnotesWhoo boy! This was a real pain to edit! But Basil also got real extra with the audio and music for the episode this time, so we hope you enjoy the half a year he took at poking and prodding this thing into Listenable Audio™. Anyroad, have some Time Cues:We start the OSMcast!ing – 00:00General Gabbing (Introductions and explaining The Process) – 02:04The Great Final Fantasy Ranking!Part I: Where we talk about all the Final FantasiesFinal Fantasy I - 04:44Final Fantasy II - 10:36Final Fantasy III - 17:06Final Fantasy IV - 21:45Final Fantasy V - 32:13Final Fantasy VI - 35:37Final Fantasy VII - 41:41Final Fantasy VIII - 49:56Final Fantasy IX - 53:49Final Fantasy X - 58:24Bonus Game: Final Fantasy Tactics - 01:05:00Final Fantasy XI - 01:09:05Final Fantasy XII - 01:11:48Bonus Game: Lost Odyssey - 01:15:58Final Fantasy XIII - 01:21:18Final Fantasy XIV - 01:27:30Final Fantasy XV - 01:34:24Final Fantasy XVI - 1:38:10Part II: Where we actually rank said Final FantasiesThe Battle Begins - 01:41:39The Battle Ends - 02:03:09Oh!

The Grindys, The Golden Gears, Return! The Best of 2025. What a year it has been. GG has survived several YouTube-polyspes and played many games. Some retro, but more modern than our normal affair. This is the final official podcast record for the year 2025 and we have our own LEGALLY DISTINCT accolades to hand out. An insane year for video games comes to a close. Who will win “Best I Think It's an Indie game” and who will walk away with Brightest Dumpster Fire. Our plans are big for 2026, we'll see you then. Supportourbromance.com for a big new year of GG in 2026! That's no joke.
Jesse Cox returns to the show to discuss the Game Awards! The reveals, the trailers, the gossip and the awards. Fathoming Highgaurd and trying to sell us on Ace Combat. What is Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic? How much goo fits in a single Divinity body? These are all classic questions that Garrett and Kyle need answers for. We are also on the eve of a fresh new Final Fantasy XIV MSQ Patch. We all played Dispatch too. Supportourbromance.com and you too can get that WB face.

We touched the grass, ate the turkey and watched the sports ball. Video game discord trudged on. With these perspectives, we return to ai up to its old bull. Banana Fish has been released on Amazon Prime Video with a horrid case of the Computer voice for the english dub. Where Winds Meet's ai chat bots are being tricked into completing quests early. In other news, Team Cherry wants to make new things, Jeff Keighley has found a terrible portal and Kyle's voice is going out!
Hello Adventurers! Earlier this year we took a trip out to St. Louis, Missouri to check out a most excellent Final Fantasy XIV fan convention: GATEway FATE 2.0! This was their second year and we had heard so many good things about its first year, we were really excited to try it out for ourselves. And we were not disappointed. But don't take our word for it! Wait, no… Actually do take our word for it, but in audio form! This is a podcast, after all. Spoiler Levels: Larboard/Starboard Chicken Tenders with fries “are ready to fry!” This was just one of the many delicious food options that they had in their Last Stand food stall in the convention center. And yes, we do realize that we said both “delicious food options” and “in the convention center” within the same sentence! It was just one of the many things that really impressed us about this con. (Just wait till you hear us gush about the flooring!)OSMnotesGATEway FATE 2.0 was a lot of fun, and we are very much looking forward to GATEway FATE 3.0 on October17th-18th, 2026!

The Game Awards nominees are here! Let's see how many Expedition 33 racked up and who else broke through! On top of that Yoshi P is out here hyping up the next chapter for FFXIV, WoW housing is bumming us out, and Steam Machines are back and made by Valve!
Expedition 33 special with music YouTube extraordinaire, MarcoMeatball is today's offering! Marco joins the boys to talk not just about the exceptional music of Clair Obscure. But also it's story and the hot takes that start flying around chat whenever someone gets to the ending. Enjoy this deep dive in Sandfall's first game as well as our brains' as content creators!
Will Pokemon save us from the Ai? Stormgate, you remember Stormgate right? Tim Morten had a rather honest rundown of where he feels the post-Blizzard design team went wrong and brings up the changing landscape of Venture Capital. The episode can't help but get real on the eve of Pokemon's release. Love em or hate em, Nintendo is about to drop another massive Poke'drama'pocalypse into the world as reviews come in around 8/10. Xbox continues its cursed run by talking about an upcoming “ad supported” tier of Xbox Game Pass. We're both playing Megabonk. Emails and more.
The Round Table gathers. 7.3: The Promise of Tomorrow MSQ ends the Dawntrail ark in traditional fashion. Garrett, Kyle and Jesse freshen themselves up on the story happenings, having played it back in August. Preach, recently caught up, shares a fresh viewer's perspective. Is Calyx around for the long haul? What does that mean for the story and Sphene? What lessons have the devs learned from Dawntrail and what will they carry into the future. One thing is clear, FFXIV is a story first game and it's future rides on its ability to capture it's fans once again. 7.3 seems a solid start.
A day of many trailers, of many announcements. Kojima Productions, Capcom, Star Wars, Silent Hill and more. The Prince of Sweden is giving awards to Split Fiction. Fornite is trying proximity voice chat. The Expedition 33 continues, Garrett's playing Hollow Knight and Kyle is READING BOOKS?!
Nintendo Direct! New HOTS patch! The problem with game music. AND SO MUCH MORE! SupportOurBromance.com or… well we won't enshittify. So, thanks for the support!
The tubes are on fire. Or maybe they have been for a month. In a massive conspiracy turned reality, YouTubers found that they're views have dropped by half in the month of August due to YouTube's new features. Indie games don't know how to price themselves in the wake of Silksong's release. We got the Yoshi P interview round up covering all the teases and perhaps walkbacks on the upcoming job update. Blizzard continues to C&D classic plus private servers. Hollow Knight, Expedition 33 and more. Supportourbromance.com if you're a player who likes change, but also for everything to remain the same, with exciting changes on the horizon.
Expedition 33 talk later, news first. Silksong is only $20 but Monster Hunter Wilds certainly wasn't. Blizzard shuts down Turtle wow, or plans to. Yoshi-P asks people to be nicer. Then our thoughts on the first 3 hours of Expedition 33. Emails and More
Video games! More are coming and the ones that are here are under debate. Thats Gamescom 2025 for ya. A few winners grabbed our attention. Kyle is playing Hollow Knight. Crossovers be damned, MTG Airbender is looking real good. World of WarCraft showed off its newest expansion Midnight. Pick your side, because FFXIV mods lovers and haters are at each other this week. We got the full rundown to help you pick your side. Garrett's watching Evangelion as an adult. All this and more.
The merch cluster is under attack. Pokemon Worlds took place in Anaheim this week and it was invaded by SCALPERS. While Garrett and Kyle attempt to fathom this, Japanese McDonald's was also forced to end their Pokemon Happy Meal tie-in early. Gamescom is tomorrow, and World of Warcraft is set to show its newest cinematic for Midnight. Dandadan, Alien: Earth, and so much more.
The World of Warcraft news cycle has begun with the approach of their Midnight expansion Cinematic. WoW plans to get rid of Addons, going the FFXIV route and freeing themselves of their ever escalating arms race. WoW has also claimed massive success with their recent One Button rotation option. Final Fantasy XIV has sales down by 23%, but what does that even mean? We watched Kpop Demon Hunters, Dandadan and more.
We're back after our collective grass touching. Garrett and Kyle have toured Florida and return to, what ever all this is. Collective Shout is taking down Games with the help of Mastercard?
