United States7 months ago - Love the format but……
I love the format but after listening to a few of the SNES square soft podcast hearing 15 minutes of the same backstory of square soft and there’s a bit much in particular for secret of evermore hearing about the backstory of the whole action RPG genre. I don’t really think was needed at this point it wasn’t the first action RPG wasn’t the second action RPG by that time it was probably a handful if not more action RPG’s of the same style.
