Jurandir Filho, Felipe Mesquita, João Pimenta e Bruno Carvalho batem um papo as diferenças entre os RPGs japoneses (JRPGs) e os RPGs ocidentais (WRPGs). Embora compartilhem a mesma base, como evolução de personagens, grandes narrativas e escolhas estratégicas, cada lado desenvolveu sua própria identidade cultural, estética e mecânica ao longo das décadas. Os RPGs japoneses surgiram fortemente influenciados por títulos de mesa como "Dungeons & Dragons", mas rapidamente ganharam personalidade própria. São marcados por histórias lineares e cinematográficas, personagens bem definidos e um foco narrativo que coloca o jogador como espectador de uma grande saga. Jogos como "Final Fantasy", "Dragon Quest",  "Chrono Trigger" e "Persona" moldaram essa tradição, com narrativas emocionais, heróis arquetípicos e mundos fantasiosos.Já os RPGs ocidentais nasceram de uma vertente mais próxima dos jogos de mesa, prezando por liberdade de escolha e construção de personagem. O jogador não interpreta um herói pré-determinado, mas cria o seu próprio avatar e molda a história com decisões morais e éticas. Séries como "The Witcher", "The Elder Scrolls", "Fallout", "Baldur's Gate" e "Mass Effect" são exemplos emblemáticos dessa abordagem, em que o mundo reage às ações do jogador, e cada jornada é única. O foco aqui está menos em uma trama fixa e mais em imersão e agência, transformando a narrativa em algo emergente, construído dinamicamente.Nos últimos anos, entretanto, essas fronteiras vêm se misturando. Jogos como "Persona 5" adotam elementos sociais e liberdade de escolhas típicos do Ocidente, enquanto "The Witcher 3" e "Cyberpunk 2077" apresentam tramas fortes e personagens profundos, à maneira japonesa.

In today's Daily Fix:Microsoft is saying the controversial price of the ROG Xbox Ally X wasn't set by them, but rather hardware maker ASUS. The Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X are $599 and $999 respectively, and feature Xbox-themed UI and connect to the users' Xbox accounts, but are technically ASUS products under the ROG brand. Despite the price, Microsoft claims the devices have sold out on the Xbox store and other retailers, and the critical response has been overall positive, despite the steep price. In other news, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3's co-director is saying that the game's combat system is not yet decided, despite calls for the series to return to turn-based roots. This comes after the surprise success of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which features many game mechanics popularized by JRPGs like classic FF titles. And finally, a leak about more Resident Evil remakes may prove to be real, with reports saying Resident Evil 0 and Code Veronica are next on Capcom's to-do list.

Nachdem zuletzt mit Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth ein eher nisches aber auch tolles Rollenspiel im Digimon-Franchise erschienen ist, welches mit seinem rundenbasierten Kampfsystem und doch eher textlastigen Geschichte überzeugen konnte, setzt Time Stranger gerade im Bezug auf Quality of Life einen drauf. Ellenlange Texte verschwinden gänzlich und Story sowie Nebenmissionen werden kurz und knackig mit einigen Zwischensequenzen erzählt. Klasse! Und Apropos Nebenmissionen: Diese lohnen sich hier aufgrund der Belohnungen richtig. Neben über 400+ Digimon zu sammeln, gibt es erstmals einen Skillbaum, mit dem wir Werte und Digitationsanforderungen beeinflussen können. Dazu benötigen wir Agentenpunkte, die wir durch das Abschließen von Haupt- und Nebenmissionen erhalten. Was Cyber Sleuth treu bleibt, ist das Kampfsystem. Rundenbasiert schicken wir bis zu drei Digimon in den Kampf, bis zu zwei weitere Mitstreiter können uns in der Story begleiten. Auch der aus Cyber Sleuth bewährte Scan-Mechanismus bleibt erhalten: Pro getroffenem Digimon steigt dessen Scanrate, ab 100% können wir dieses jederzeit “Umwandeln” und in unser Team aufnehmen. Leider hinkt das Spiel technisch gerade vielen JRPGs hinterher. Besonders in den ersten Stunden fallen die etwas altbackene Grafik und starren Animationen stark ins Gewicht. Dennoch: Auf das Digimon Franchise betrachtet, ist dies auf jeden Fall das beste Digimon Story-Spiel für langjährige Fans und Neueinsteiger!

Join us as we revisit the legendary games that left a lasting mark on gaming history: Metal Gear Solid 2, Final Fantasy VII, Dragon Quest IV & VIII, Diablo II, and Space Harrier.In this relaxed, retro-filled episode, we share how these iconic titles shaped our love for games — with deep dives, personal stories, and classic nostalgia.If you're into JRPGs, retro gaming, or just love talking classic games, this one's for you!

Ein Meisterwerk Final Fantasy VII ist für viele der Durchbruch der JRPGs im Westen, nicht zu Unrecht: tolle Technik, eine immer noch aktuelle Geschichte, sympathische Charaktere und großer Umfang. Mit dem 2. Teil des Remakes Final Fantasy VII Rebirth geht SquareEnix in die vollen. Bombastgrafik, eine überraschende Story, die filmreif erzählt wird und eine tadellose Spielbarkeit, machen das neue Rollenspiel zum Meisterwerk. Peppis Elektromobilitäts-Desaster Noch ist nicht entschieden, aber die potentiellen Auswirkungen sind fatal. Der NIU Elektroroller hat tiefentladene Batterien. Was das heißt, erfahrt ihr im Podcast. Der Wüstenplanet Dune Teil 1 wurde von vielen SciFi Fans schon ziemlich gefeiert. Teil 2 ist derzeit bei einem Box Office von 700 Millionen Dollar und das zu Recht: Eine spannende Geschichte, überzeugende Schauspieler, ein packender Soundtrack und dazu überwältigende Bilder. Dune 2 ist ein SciFi Meisterwerk. Vertikale Windräder Wir alle kennen die klassischen Windräder. Die mit dem Propeller. Es gibt aber auch Windräder wo nicht eine horizontale Achse gedreht wird sondern die Vertikale. Das Problem hier sind Strömungsabrisse und eine höhere Empfindlichkeit. In einer Studie haben Schweizer Wissenschaftler nun mit Hilfe von KI Profile entwickelt, die 200% mehr Energie erzeigen und dabei die Vibrationen um 77% reduzieren. Fatoni featured wieder Deutsch Rapper Fatoni ist wieder bei einem Feature am Start. Zusammen mit Ami Warning meint er, er „War dabei„. Wir stellen Euch den neuen Track vor. Neue humanoide Roboter Erinnert ihr euch noch an Atlas? Der ist wohl in den Ruhestand geschickt worden (HD Atlas). Aber wie zu erwarten war, ist das nicht das Ende der Forschung an Robotern in Menschenform. Nun gibt es wieder einen Atlas (All New Atlas). Einen neuen. Und der ist unangenehmer denn jeh… Und dann wäre da noch der Figure 01. Ein OpenAi basierter Roboter, der uns mal im Haushalt helfen soll.. Band of Brothers 3.0 Steven Spielberg und Tom Hanks haben sich zusammen getan, um nach Band of Brothers und The Pacific eine weitere packende Weltkriegsserie zu erschaffen. Masters of the Air erzählt diesmal die Geschichte einer B17 Flying Fortress Staffel. Packend und aufwändig erzählt. KIs sind auch nur Menschen Und alles andere als frei von Vorurteilen. Das hat gerade das Österreichische Arbeitsamt gelernt, die einen AI Chatbot eingesetzt haben. Und wie solle es anders sein, der denkt, Frauen gehören an den Herd… Emulation auf dem iPhone Endlich lässt Apple aufgrund des DMA Emulatoren auf dem iPhone zu. Allerdings ist es entweder immer noch sehr umständlich an die Apps zu kommen oder sie sind mit Werbung & Spam gespickt.

On this episode of the Plug N Play Podcast, Henry delves into the weebish world of Tokyo Game Show. We go through every game shown at Sony's State of Play and determine if the hype is warranted. We also go into The King of Crashout's (Randy Pitchford) thoughts on Borderlands 4's poor performance, Xbox raising prices on consoles AGAIN, and Doug Bowser stepping down at Nintendo of America president.

I recently played the Pixel Remaster version for the first time, so I wanted to give Cecil and friends another round of RTG.I don't disagree with anyone that says Final Fantasy VI is the superior game, but IV isn't without its charm. I love the characters, betrayals, and combat system, and personally I like the linear party management of this one better to future entries where you can mix and match as you please. It's really wild to see how far JRPGs have come since Golbez's started robbing jewelry stores, and I think FF IV deserves its flowers for helping the series evolve from its basic NES counterparts.Captain N of the Retrotopia podcast joins me this week and we both geeked out pretty hard over this game. A couple dungeons (Dark Elf) and characters (Spoony Bard) got under our skin, but at the end of the day I think we agree that this is a must-play for fans of the genre, and a great place for someone new to Final Fantasy to get their feet wet. And before we argue with Tellah, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week, someone asks what the next big trend in gaming is going to be? What Mario moment blew my mind the most as a kid? And where doI stand on silent protagonists in games?Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too!

Ein Mann Entwicklung Wenn man 7 Jahre als Einzelentwickler an einem Spiel arbeitet, muss man schon eine gewisse Energie haben. Matthias Linda hatte diese und hat mit Chained Echoes eine Hommage an die große Zeit der JRPGs veröffentlicht: ein tolles Kampfsystem, eine unterhaltsame Story ohne zuviel Kitsch und schöne 2D Grafik. Matze hat das Spiel durchgezockt. Woher kommt eigentlich der Strom Klar, aus der Steckdose. Aber wie kommt er da hin? Und vor allem aus welcher Technologie? Diese Fragen beantworten die Electricity Maps. Hier seht ihr, welche Technologie ein Land zur Erzeugung von Strom verwendet, wie viel CO2 anfällt und sogar die Im- und Exporte. Ganz interessant vor allem vor dem Hintergrund des deutschen Atomausstiegs. Direktvertrieb, ein Drama Die großen Spielestudios oder Hersteller wollen ihre Produkte direkt an den Mann und die Frau bringen. Dabei läuft das Ganze aber mehr oder weniger ziemlich schlecht, wie Matze bei Sony, Nintendo und SquareEnix erleben durfte. Achtung, es wird schmutzig. Wie sicher ist dein Passwort? Wir wetten: Unsicherer als gedacht! Oder hättet ihr gedacht, dass ein 7 Zeichen Passwort mit großen und kleinen Buchstaben nur 1 Sekunde braucht, um geknackt zu werden? Packt ihr noch Zahlen hinzu, sind es immerhin 2 Sekunden. Es gibt hier eine schöne Übersicht, wie lange welches Passwort standhält und dazu auch eine Entwicklung, wie schnell das Brute Force Hacken geworden ist. Und das ist das wirklich erschreckende. Fatoni lässt einen ziehen Im Mai kommt endlich das neue Album von Fatoni. Matze hat sich die bisher 4 veröffentlichten Tracks angehört und ist verzückt. Neues Opfer in der Smart Home Schlacht Schon öfter haben wir darüber berichtet, dass Betreiber einfach mal die Server abschalten und die damit verbundene Technik dann vom Smart Device zum Briefbeschwerer mutiert. Wie der Google Watch Blog berichtet, scheint Google die Funktionen der Nest Hubs einzustellen. Es geht hierbei um Smart Displays für den Haushalt. Support für Drittanbieter wurde wohl schon eingestellt und der Funktionsumfang der eigenen Nest Hubs wird wohl eher schrumpfen als weiter ausgebaut. Zudem wird auf die Kompatibilität mit Android fokussiert, was die Kombination mit iOS erschwert Tetris, ein Film? Wer macht den sowas… Ja, AppleTV+ hat tatsächlich einen Film zur Klötchenknobelei Tetris veröffentlicht und der ist spannender als man glauben mag: es geht um die Geschichte hinter dem Lizenzpoker um die Rechte eines der wohl erfolgreichsten Spiele aller Zeiten. Wirklich toll gemacht, spannend und witzig. Unbedingt anschauen! Starlink – Erfahrungen von Unterwegs Dieses Internet über Satellit von dem Typen, der Twitter gekauft hat. Kann das was? Was kostet das? Macht das Spaß? Diese und weitere Fragen können wir euch beantworten.

Barista! Barista! Antifascista! Lasst euch vom ausschweifenden Intro nicht täuschen, auch heute gibt es wieder starke und korrekte Meinungen zu Telespielen im Allgemeinen und japanischen Rollenspielen im Besonderen. Stefan hat heute das 2D-HD Remake von Dragon Quest 3 mitgebracht und Marc darf am Ende noch kurz was zu Voice of Cards: The Beasts of Burden sagen. Lasst es euch schmecken!Intro:Intermezzo - from the Dragon Quest 3 2D-HD Remake OSTPerformed by: Koichi Sugiyama (der Bastard!)

The Boys Staffel 3 Es gibt endlich wieder eine neue Staffel der etwas anderen Superhelden Serie von Amazon. Die ersten 3 Episoden waren direkt verfügbar und jeden Freitag kommt eine neue. Die Frage der Fragen: Wann dreht Homeland komplett durch?? Japano Kram Ein neues JRPG im GamePass? Gleich von Matze ausgecheckt. Eiyuden Chronicle Rising ist der Kickstarter Vorgeschmack des neuen JRPGs der Ex-Suikoden Macher. Wundervolle Pixel-Art Grafik, nette Charaktere und gute Spielbarkeit machen das Spiel aus. Matze ist entzückt. Teslobotticus? Autos, klar. Weltraum, auch klar und Satelliten-Internet? Kennen wir alles. Aber wer hat schon von Teslas Roboter-Butler gehört? Die sind den Gerüchten zufolge ein guter möglicher Grund dafür, dass Tesla seinen AI Day auf den 30.09.2022 verschoben hat. Präsentieren sie da den ersten Prototypen? Kein Historiendrama Bei King Richard könnte man ein Shakespear Drama erwarten, aber mit dem Film King Richard wird tatsächlich die spannende Geschichte der Venus Schwestern zum Ruhm erzählt. Will Smith brilliert als ehrgeiziger Vater. Rap aus Bayern The Gaudi is wieder Real! Liquid und Maniac bringen Ihr neues Album im Juli und die erste Single mit Dexter ist ein cooler Banger 3D Druck IM Köper Das ist abgefahren… Bei diesem neuen 3D Druckverfahren wird eine Flüssigkeit gespritzt, die dann durch Ultraschall aushärtet. So können z.B. Implantate IM KÖRPER gedruckt werden. Abgetaucht Sky beweist mit der 3. Staffel von Das Boot, dass sie einfach die besten dt. Serien produzieren: tolle Ausstattung, cooler Look, gute Schauspieler und v.a. eine spannende Story machen auch die neue Staffel wieder zu einem absolut Sehenswerten Ausflug in den 2. Weltkrieg. Invincible Noch eine etwas andere Superhelden Serie. Wieder ein Amazon Original. The Invincible ist eine Cartoon Serie, die schon in der ersten Episode so krass auf die Kacke haut, dass man kaum was verraten kann. Synchronsprecher sind unter anderem Steven Yeun, Zachary Quinto. Outing Als Kurt Krömer sich in seiner TV Show als depressiv geoutet hatte, war der öffentliche Zuspruch hoch. Nun arbeitet der Comedian in seiner Biographie viele Punkte davon auf. Witzig, tiefgründig, aber auch nicht zu schwer machen „Du darfst nicht alles glauben was Du denkst“ zu einem tollen Buch. Todesstoß für die PS – Jetzt steht das Ablaufdatum Fest Natürlich wird die PS4 dann nicht direkt abgeschaltet, aber die First Party und Exclusive Spiele sind schon manchmal ein Kaufgrund für Konsolen. Damit ist bei der PS4 aber ab 2025 Schluss. Sony wird dann Bei der Entwicklung von First Party Spielen keine Rücksicht auf Old Gen mehr legen. Wer ist die Nr. 1? Wenn man sich den Paketmarktbericht 2021 der Bundesnetzagentur anschaut, dann ist es ganz klar DHL mit 40% Marktanteil. Amazon als neuer Anbieter positioniert sich aber ganz gut und es bleibt spannend, ob z.B. das starke Wachstum beim Paketverkehr anhält und wer der größte Profiteur davon ist.

Service Meldung zur Corona Warn App Die Corona Warn App zeigt unterdessen ja auch den Status an, den man hat, also 2G oder 2G+. Leider ist es aktuell aber so, dass der Booster nicht als + angezeigt wird. Da muss man also bisschen drauf aufpassen oder zur Not auf die CovPass App umsteigen, bei der scheint das besser zu gehen. Sollte das wirklich so nicht gewollt sein, wir das sicherlich in einer der nächsten Versionen gelöst werden Verloren im Weltraum Eine tolle Sci-Fi Serie geht mit der 3. Staffel auf Netflix zu Ende: Lost in Space hat ein tolles Finale, eine spannende Geschichte und Matze findet es gut, dass es auch mal gute Enden und vor allem ÜBERHAUPT Enden bei Serien gibt. Mal schnell mit dem Auto zur Arbeit fliegen Gut, danke mehr Akzeptanz für Home Office wird das mit dem „in die Arbeit“ fahren in Zukunft hoffentlich sowieso entspannter, aber wer längere Wege hat, der kann die vielleicht demnächst flahren. Also fliegen und fahren. Das soll mit dem slowakischen Aircar bald möglich sein. Erster Erfolg: Nun liegen wohl die ersten EASA Prüfungen vor. Japano RPG Eines der besten JRPGs der letzten Jahre und das beste aus der Serie: Tales of Arise ist Matzes erstes Tales und macht eine Menge Laune. Ein griffiges Kampfsystem, eine schöne Fantasywelt und eine epische Geschichte. Ein Spieletipp! Tanz! Edgar Wasser bringt angeblich am 29.02. ein neues Album. Die erste Single heißt Tanz, tanz und ist ne ziemlich abgedrehte Nummer. Ein ablehnbares Angebot Manche Angebote sind wohl einfach nicht gut genug, um sie anzunehmen. Selbst wenn sie von Elon Musk kommen. Der wollte für 5.000$ einen Twitter Kanal stilllegen. Wow, ein neuer VOD Service…. Mit Peacock ist am 25.01. der gefühlt 10.000 VOD Service in Deutschland auf Sky gestartet. Enttäuschende Inhalte, nichts Exklusives und technisch auch nichts besonderes. Sie werden länger und länger Die Sprache ist von Filmen. Autorin Jenny Jecke hat sich den neuen Batman mit 175 Minuten Laufzeit mal zum Anlass genommen um zu schauen, wie lang Filme eigentlich so waren bisher. Und siehe da, Sie werden immer länger. In den 80er Jahren waren nur zwei Filme über 130 Minuten. In den 90ern Waren es 5 Filme. In den 2000ern sogar neun. Die 2010er waren mit sieben ein wenig besser. Fraglich ist allerdings, wie viele Filme das wirklich gebraucht hätten. Könnt Ihr uns hören Die Geschichte des deutschen Rap, wie könnte sie besser als von den Leuten erzählt werden, die sie gestaltet und erlebt haben. Ein spannendes Buch für alle, welche etwas über die Kultur und Ihre Größen erfahren wollen. Leider noch mehr Sympathie für den Game Pass Klar, das haben sie nicht freiwillig gemacht, aber in Zukunft informiert euch Microsoft darüber, wenn sich euer Abo verlängert und sie wollen sogar selbstständig kündigen, wenn lange nicht mehr genutzt wurde.

Josh and Chris take over the Gnomecast as Ang is on her Gnomecation. They talk JRPGs and the JRPG TTRPG Fabula Ultima. They played through a session 0 and four four hour sessions. Now they're here to give you their thoughts and feelings on the game.

This month we discuss a massive wave of censorship that is affecting the entire games industry and even forcing us to re-write chunks of our own game, The Last Waltz.  Then we go on to discuss older games - particularly JRPGs - and some of the mechanics that we're glad have been left behind. As much as we love the aesthetics and classic quality of these games... we are also glad that some mechanics have been left for the retro compilations now.  Finally, we talk about all the games releasing in August. It's a relatively quiet month, but that doesn't mean there aren't things coming up to pay attention to!

In today's episode, I'm playing a song from the early 90s adventure game, King's Quest 6 - the instrumental version of "Girl in the Tower," which played at the end of the game if you had the CD-ROM version of the game, a feat that was pretty cool at the time.  Although the song, composed by Mark Siebert, fit in perfectly with the top 40 adult contemporary hits of the early 90s and the themes of later JRPGs like those found in the Final Fantasy games, for me, it always stood out since it had all the parts I loved in 80s ballads - a catchy, hummable melody, an electric guitar instrumental break, and a piano instrumental.  I've always loved the contrast between all those parts.  Plus, it was the only CD we had for quite awhile.  I'd be lying if I didn't admit that a fair amount of the sound that makes its way into The Thirteenth Hour soundtracks comes from songs like this.Girl in the Tower (CD version)Girl in the tower instrumentalCassima's ThemeAnd that's why I wanted to dedicate today's episode and the rendition on piano that I attempted to Roberta Vaughn, who passed away recently, suddenly and way too young.  She was instrumental in forming the Classic Gamer's Guild in Facebook, a welcoming, positive group dedicated to celebrating classic games, especially adventure games of the 80s and 90s.  Truth be told, when I was playing with the idea of trying to figure this song out, I initially wasn't sure if I should.  What if she hated the game?  I wasn't sure and thought about asking folks who knew her better.  But I figured, given the kind of person I understood her to be, even if she wasn't the biggest fan of the game or the song, she'd appreciate the inherent 90s cheese of the lyrics and the nostalgia of it all and get a kick out of it.  At least I hope so.    May there be the hint books be infinite and the copy protection miniscule wherever you are, Roberta.  Thank you for all you did.  This one is for you.Thanks for listening!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD!   It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music.  (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes and special editions of the album there as well.)  The CDs are out now!-Check out the pixelart music videos that are out so far from the album:-->Logan's Sunrise Workout: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7SM1RgsLiM-->Forward: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9VgILr1TDc-->Nightsky Stargazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S0p3jKRTBo-->Aurora's Rainy Day Mix: https://youtu.be/zwqPmypBysk∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

Als einer der wenigen Release-Titel für die Switch 2 habe ich mich an das Remaster des 3DS Klassikers von 2012 gewagt, ganz in liebevoller Erinnerung an klassische JRPGs, welche es auf dem 3DS zu Hauf gab. Und Bravely Default ist definitiv ein sehr guter Kandidat, der dieses Genre super repräsentiert. Die doch recht klassische Story um die Wiedererweckung der vier Elementarkristalle wird verpackt in eine Oberwelt, Dungeons und Städte, gepaart mit Rundenkämpfen, Sammeln von Items und Job-Grinding. Die Jobs sind hier elementar, denn sie repräsentieren die Klassen. Jeder unserer vier Charaktere kann jeden der 24 Job lernen, allerdings müssen wir erst den dazugehörigen Asterisken einsammeln und dieser verbirgt sich meist hinter einen recht anspruchsvollen Bosskampf. Danach müssen wir die Jobs auch noch leveln, was Grinding erfordert, allerdings haben wir auch einen Nebenjob, welcher uns zumindest die Fähigkeiten eines bereits erlernten gibt, sodass wir auch ein wenig nebenbei leveln können. Aber dieses Leveln gehört irgendwie auch zu klassischen JRPGs dazu. Wichtig zu erwähnen sind die QoL-Features, wie eine anpassbare Zufallskampf-Rate oder Autokämpfe, welche dem Spiel gut tun. Überflüssig sind hingegen die neuen Minispiele,welche die Switch 2 Mausfunktion unbedingt reinbringen wollen. Insgesamt ist dieses Remaster aber vor allem für Neulinge ein sehr schönes JRPG!

Resident Evil changed everything.  When originally released in 1996, what was once a niche genre for enthusiasts was now a blockbuster staple in every second home.  All of a sudden people were craving zombies, horrifying monsters and disturbing themes.  It was so popular that Square, far more known for its more traditional JRPGs, decided to throw its hat in the ring and make Parasite Eve.On the surface, the game appeared to be textbook survival horror.  But dig a little deeper and you could see that Square was unable to escape its roots.  Turn based mode happened in a sphere similar to Vagrant Story, upgrades were plentiful and incremental, and the storytelling had more cutscenes than gameplay at least in the early stages.  Thematically this was still horrifying…but under the hood was a different story.Was this blend of genres ultimately successful, giving survival horror a fresh new perspective?  Or is it impossible to reconcile grim resources management with the power fantasy that RPGS almost always offer?On this episode, we discuss:StoryHow does Parasite Eve use real world science to lend an air of credibility to the horrific changes that are happening all over Manhattan?  Does it execute the smaller details well even if the larger picture is a bit silly at times?CombatHow enjoyable is the moment to moment real time combat of Parasite Eve?  The game requires you to dodge attacks, and pick the best moment to strike.  Is this too simplistic or does it work well?ProgressionHow do the weapon and armour upgrades work in Parasite Eve?  Does it provide the player with a satisfying sense of progression, or is it all just a confusing mess?We answer these questions and many more on the 132nd episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast!—Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherParasite Eve OST: Yoko Shinomura—What crazy weapon upgrade paths do you like to use?  Is the NG+ mode worth playing?  How is Parasite Eve 2 different from the original?  Come let us know what you think on our discord server!Come let us know what you think or recommend us a new game on our community discord server!If you would like to support the show monetarily, you can buy us a coffee here!

In this episode of the Gaming Round Table, we delve deep into the world of Final Fantasy with a special focus on Final Fantasy XIV. Join us as we welcome back guests Cole, Moogan, and Scrag, who bring their unique insights into the current state of the game. We tackle the controversies and frustrations surrounding the Final Fantasy XIV community, questioning whether these represent standard cycles or signal larger issues for the game's future. The conversation also expands to Square Enix's recent announcements about exploring turn-based JRPGs, hinting at a return to their roots. Our guests share their opinions on whether Final Fantasy should bifurcate into separate action and turn-based branches to satisfy diverse player expectations. We also explore the realm of job identity and new features for the anticipated 8.0 expansion. With an unlimited budget as a playful hypothetical, ideas range from revitalizing the sub-job system to creating more complex roles within the game. Our discussion wouldn't be complete without addressing the role of Yoshi P, whose influence on the franchise has been monumental, yet whose workload appears overwhelming. We ask if it's time for him to focus on new projects or even a brand-new Final Fantasy MMO. Tune in to hear these perspectives and more, and stay plugged into the developments that could shape the future of this beloved gaming series!

The global economy is in a tumultuous state, inflation has carved away everyone's purchasing power, and prices are almost universally going up. So naturally, PlayStation will follow suit and jack its rates up too, right? Well, no. Instead, they're doing the exact opposite of what seems natural: For their annual, weeks-long Days of Play sales event, Sony has slashed prices on PS5 and PS5 Pro, PSVR2 and DualSense, and even DualSense Edge and the Access controller. Is Sony's boldness in risking economic erosion worth it? Is its strategy simply to put its boot on Xbox's neck once and for all? We discuss. Plus: If all went according to plan, The Order: 1886 would have gotten two sequels, EA cancels its Black Panther project while shutting down the studio behind it, Build A Rocket Boy suggests there may be a paid, organized campaign against its upcoming title MindsEye, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! What does Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's success mean for the future of global JRPGs? Could Star Wars Battlefront be revived on the basis of a recent resurgence in popularity? Is Colin ignoring an obvious connection between Souls games and his beloved Castlevania?

Long ago, it was prophesized that four heroes would arrive to save the world from the encroaching darkness. It's said these Warriors of Light would repel the forces of darkness and finally bring peace to the world.  Don't worry, we're here but instead of saving the world we've decided to use our powers for actual good: To spend the next 5-6 hours talking at you about the entire Final Fantasy series. That's right baby, we're going in chronological order starting with the very first Final Fantasy. From Anima to Zidane, we're here to get you informed and psyched up for the upcoming Final Fantasy Magic the Gathering set, due to release on June 13, 2025.

Join Braden, Chris, and Adam as they discuss Hironobu Sakaguchi's The Last Story, including a brief recollection of Project Rainfall and what it was like to talk about JRPGs on the internet approximately 14 years ago. It's not all horror stories though, as they also cover the game's unique approach to combat, its non-unique approach to storytelling, and why basically no one talked about it after release (hint: it's Xenoblade's fault.) Our hosts found a game they actually enjoyed for once, which is good since the next game they're playing is going to be an absolute nightmare.  Please consider donating to the National Network of Abortion Funds: abortionfunds.org/donate If you've been enjoying the podcast, please consider supporting us at https://www.patreon.com/DeepListens If you like our new art and want to commission some of your own, reach out to Tyler at tylerorbin.net
