Before the golden age, JRPGs were undergoing an exciting period of experimentation! In Part 2 of our History of JRPGs series, we're joined once again by game designer and author Pat Holleman to explore the years 1988–1990, when Japanese developers began pushing the boundaries of what an RPG could be.
Hello everyone! We're hard at work on a lot of behind-the-scenes things I wanted to update you on. We've got new episodes on the History of JRPGs, Silent Hill 2, and Chrono Trigger in the works, plus a brand-new studio space we're VERY close to debuting. I just need a little more time to get things in order, so thank you for your patience as we transition to a new look and format for the show!
Casen has never played J-Pop Sphere Hunters before, and so this travesty is quickly being amended. The thing about Final Fan-Service X-2 is that, unlike its namesake, it presents us with the aftermath of its own deconstructed world. What to do now? Is the rampant fan service part of the results of bringing about such a world? The Idol culture an adequate replacement of previous religious traditions? What happens in the power vacuum after a theocracy has been toppled? We tackle all this and more in our exciting discussion on Final Fantasy X-2, a game that is often misunderstood, and often perfectly understood all too well. We discuss religion, tradition, deconstruction, the difficulty of reconstruction, the wisdom of patience, and the way that we can idolize games (like Final Fantasy X).
Kingdom Hearts IV is coming out next year and the new trailer is FIRE. We thought we were done with the series, and now our collective curiosities are peaked! Joining us today is Best Guy Ever @BestGuyEver ! https://www.youtube.com/@BestGuyEver/videos , and his podcast https://www.youtube.com/@InternetGeniusShow .
Nintendo just gave us our best look yet at the Ocarina of Time remake, and while nearly everything about it appears remarkably faithful to the original, its new visual direction left us with a lot to talk about!
