My brother Ben returns and we talk about our favorite turn-based RPGs in this episode of The Pizza Pixel Podcast! I think out of all my brothers, Ben likes RPGs the most, and since I’ve helped introduce many of them to the genre, I guess I know a bit about them, too! I’ve definitely fell off the RPG loop now, but I was really into them way back in the 16-bit days! So please click on the link and give it listen if you can. I think this one’s a lot of fun!
In the comments section, tell me YOUR favorite RPGs! Thanks for listening! Later! --Cary
Dragon Quest VIII comes to mind right away because I was hunting PS2 games last week. I got a collector's edition from a Game Stop long time ago when they were unloading PS2/Xbox/NGC games for cheap. My friend got a copy to and we played it in tandem for a very long time. He actually beat the game, but I tired out after about 90 hours of game play (I used to keep track). I'm excited to revisit it again. I still have it.
I'd love to get into the Dragon Quest games more, but when you say stuff like, "90 hours in," yeah, no thank you. Games don't need to be that long.
Yeah, DQ games are usually crazy long. I played DQXI until the supposed ending only to find out there was a whole new game to play. That's when I got frustrated with it.
