    I can confidently say that this podcast is responsible for getting me to buy DQXI and then play the rest. I’ve relistened to the podcast three times now to current. I love uncle BJ and Austen, their chemistry and the humor they bring to the show is almost nothing like any other podcast I’ve listened to. Straight up wouldn’t be the same without them. I hope they continue for as long as they can/want. Keep up the amazing work guys, I hope one day you guys will be big enough to go out to convention... more

S6 E9 - Do Dragon Quest Games Deserve The FF7 Remake Treatment?
Q: Which Dragon Quest games do you think deserve the kind of FF7 Remake treatment?
The hosts discuss their preferences, with suggestions including Dragon Quest V for its narrative structure and opportunities for expansion, as well as Dragon Quest IX for its rich storytelling potential.
S6 E20 - Dragon Quest 6 Deep Dive (Part Two: Cast & Characters - "Sit in the wagon with Nevan")
Q: What are your thoughts on Nevan as a character?
I don't like Nevan, but other than just being kind of annoying, he has some redeeming qualities too.
S6 E20 - Dragon Quest 6 Deep Dive (Part Two: Cast & Characters - "Sit in the wagon with Nevan")
Q: What do you think about the hero character design in Dragon Quest VI?
I think his design is fine. Even for as much as I love DQ6, I would say, design-wise, he's probably somewhere in the middle for me.
