RPG Cast – Episode 608: “Sentient Potatoes”
Chris just wants to ride a chocobo and get a headshot, but he’s old and fingers hurt. Speaking of, Kelley’s Digimon died of old age. Meanwhile, Josh five hours The Good Life and goes to fight a bear (as in rawr). And the whole cast travels to the world of Pinocchisouls.

TBH, I just want to play Kelly’s Oz RPG now, but as an alternative, how about a Narnia JRPG? You’ve got a ready-made party in Peter (warrior), Susan (bard), Edmund (rogue) and Lucy (healer), a huge world to explore and enemies to battle plus, because this is a JRPG and therefore must end in fighting god, you get to battle Aslan at the end for being a d*** to Susan in the last book.
Oops. Supposed to be a Souls-like. Oh well, see above for Narnia… Aslan can still be the final boss!
FF7: The First Soldier will (surprisingly) have controller support Chris! Doesn’t make it a “real” console, but it’s something right?
Aww, I missed out on last week’s question. You know what, I’ll answer it anyway!
There’s a fair number if games I feel like I’m the only person who didn’t hate it. To name one prominent example: Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. I absolutely adore the game, and while I knew a few other people who also like it, it still seems like the game gets an undue amount of hate.
As for this week’s question: Maybe the Redwall series could make for an interesting Souls-like. Create a mouse, squirrel, otter, etc character and fight monstrous vermin, with even more monstrous bosses based on the books’ main villains, like Cluny the Scourge, Slagar the Cruel.
Although now I’m remembering that ferrets are considered “vermin” in Redwall…You know what? They’ll be playable good beasts just because!
Dumbo would be a perfect fit. Imagine controlling an enranged elephant and fighting the circus’ staff in order to find his mother. It would surely be very obscure.
Looking forward to the How the Grinch Souls Christmas, with the Cindy Lou Who superboss – it’d be heavy on the stealth elements, obviously.
James and the giant peach. It would interesting to play as James and the crew as they defend the peach from all manner of danger.
