This week’s RPG Backtrack features part two of Final Fantasy VII’s extended remake extravaganza. Is it too big? Did they cram too much content into a single disc? We don’t care, just give us more Queen’s Blood.
Visions of Mana is the first new mainline title in the Seiken Densetsu series since Dawn of Mana on the PlayStation 2. Despite the unfortunate fate of Ouka Studios, we want to sing this game’s praises on this week’s Backtrack.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy won second place in RPGamer’s “Biggest Surprise of the Year” award in 2021, and with a good reason. On this week’s show, we take a trip into space to reminisce about why this game was a surprise hit amongst the staff. We are Groot.

Is it the end of the podcast? No, just the end of a long story-line in Final Fantasy XIV that was set up several expansions ago. Grab your Sages, sharpen your scythes, and get ready for the best MMO expansion ever (supposedly) on this week’s RPG Backtrack.
Is World of Warcraft’s fourth expansion an out of season April Fool’s day joke? Are they REALLY ripping off a certain Dreamworks movie? Or are they simply giving players the most requested race since launch? Find out on this week’s show!
Mystery Dungeon May continues this week with the rest of the series. We have Chocobos, Ninjas, Slimes, and a variety of other critters crawling these dungeons. Just don’t run out of food!
This year’s Atelier April finally brings us to the Mysterious Quadrilogy, with this week’s episode discussing Atelier Atelier Firis and Atelier Lydie & Suelle.

On RPG Backtrack, we strive to bring a positive message about video games to the world. There are times when we play a game so terrible, we just have to complain about it.

As the year comes to a close, we wrap up with a round table of bite sized independently developed RPGs for your playing pleasure. After all, an indie game a day keeps the triple A trash away. Enjoy some passion projects with guests Sam and Ryan Costa.

Have you ever wondered what Sakamoto Ryoma’s life was like, but need more wackiness in your Japanese history lesson? What about racing chickens or playing baseball with cannon balls?
