Milla's Game Room Podcast Milla

Ruby Party is one of Koei Tecmo's longest-running and most iconic developers (they literally birthed the otome game genre). However, they're hardly known outside of Japan.

This video is a deep dive into Ruby Party's history, their key franchises, their legacy as well as how they birthed the Otome game. Even if you're not into otome, I think you'll enjoy this video as much as I have making it!

Dragon Quest had an incredible run on the 3DS, so let's take a look back on it, shall it? Every Dragon Quest game Square Enix released on the 3DS (including Japanese exclusives) has its own story to tell in so many ways. This is easily my longest video to date. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I've enjoyed making it!

In light of the recent Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection rerelease, I decided to finally revisit and play Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City to completion. What I found is one of the best dungeon RPGs I've ever played and the most unique Etrian Odyssey title to date. Here's why.

Following on from the recent Switch release of Norn9: Var Commons, I revisit this otome classic and ask is this title worth revisiting in 2023, and if so what makes it so special?

Spoiler alert - it's better than ever.

In this retrospective video, I take a look at Persona 4 Golden, following it's recent rerelease on modern platforms. I have a lot of (mostly) positive thoughts and put a lot of work into this video and i hope you enjoy it :)
