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.
Josh is listening to space opera, Kelley can’t take a character seriously when they wear a dress made of balls, and Robert admits that Chris has cats, while he only has Final Fantasy.
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.
The SaGa series continues growing strong with it’s latest entry in the series, SaGa: Emerald Beyond. We have the Q&A Quest crew as guests on this week’s show, so stay tuned for turn-based fun!
Everyone knows the BIG tactical RPGs, like Final Fantasy Tactics, Fire Emblem, and Disgaea. Listeners are wondering: when will we talk about the small, obscure tactics games? Where are the PSP games, the indie games, and the weird Nintendo DS games. This show is your answer. You’re welcome.
The Yakuza series has officially changed its name to Like a Dragon, and we have another installment with Ichiban Kasuga. We also have a side game to talk about. Wait, Kiryu is back? Wasn’t he retired?
In 2021, Square Enix delivered remastered versions of the first six Final Fantasy games to the mobile and PC market. Then, two years later, they fixed the font and put them on consoles. Are these remastered ports worth the asking price? Listen to RPG Backtrack to find out.
Did you know that there were three Persona games on the original PlayStation? Did you also know these games came out on the PlayStation Portable? Their parent company may pretend like the original Personas don’t exist, but RPG Backtrack knows what’s going on.
Kelley picks up her truck and yeets it at a monster. Dalandar is just going to giggle in the background while we talk about Rogue Trader. Robert nose-dived off the end into complete bonkers. All that and Matt is over the boring parts; let’s go faster, go faster!
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!
On this week’s episode, we kick off Mystery Dungeon May with a classic question; what if you could BE a Pokémon? The Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series explores this concept, and offers classic dungeon crawling to the mix.
Atelier April continues with a duology of titles, Atelier Sophie and Atelier Sophie 2, bringing mystery to books and dreams all around. Then we have a therapy session about Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists. This week’s show is a pendulum of joy and disappointment.
Kelley is here to introduce the new Home Maintenance ‘Cast. Matt is finally freed from the drudgery of the Atelier gauntlet, but is now avoiding all the games… because they’re SaGa. Andi is enjoying the bonus bleeps from Chris across the room. Oh, and there’s another person we can’t give a boat to.
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. The real mystery is if we will ever get sick of talking about magical girls and alchemy. Given this episode will have a part two, probably not.
Matt survived the farming wars with help from time-traveling bipedal dinosaurs. Ryan has been assigned a new piddle patch; he lives here now! Kelley realizes, to her horror, she has become the Tom Nook of Pokémon. Andi needs to go help his cat find her emotional support plushie.
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. After all, sometimes you have to play a bad game to appreciate the good ones. At least that’s what we tell ourselves to lessen the suffering.
Andi ponders throwing a bunch of genre styles into a Scrabble bag. Kelley is a big fan of gender affirming animals. Matt is battling Steamboat Willie in M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village. Chris couldn’t make it this week, but we expect he’s staying with his cow.
