    The Best Music in JRPGs - featuring Alex from Qualitea_Individual!

    Music is such a huge part of JRPGs, and we wanted to dedicate an episode to celebrating it. But we didn't want to do it alone - so we invited our friend Alex, aka  @qualitea_individual , to join us! With her music background, she presents a unique angle on the topic that WE all found super interesting and fun, and we expect you'll feel the same. Check out the episode, and be sure to follow Alex on all the socials, Twitch, and YouTube!

    Are Silent Protagonists Necessary in JRPGs?

    Today we tackle the age-old topic of silent protagonists. You see them pretty often in JRPGs (some would even argue TOO often). What are the pros? What are the cons? What do we think the future of the genre looks like in regards to silent protags? Give our thoughts a listen, and be sure to let us know yours!

    JRPG Collecting vs. JRPG Hoarding

    Thanks to YouTube user DarkAkuma86 for the comment that inspired this episode - we break down our thoughts on JRPG collecting and how to maintain a healthy mindset throughout. We also take a look at some fun new pickups and laugh at Branden's inability to handle adult drinks at his very advanced age.

    Spooky JRPGs That Should Be Horror Games

    We've all had the experience of being genuinely creeped out by a sequence in a JRPG, even if the vast majority of the game isn't intended to be a horror experience. So we thought, with that in mind, which JRPGs would actually lend themselves well to the horror genre? Also, we're wearing costumes, so that's fun. Check it out, and let us know what JRPGs YOU think would make good horror games! jrpgpursuit@gmail.com

    These JRPGs Are Overrated

    We all know it's true - sometimes, games seem to have nothing but praise heaped upon them, when REALLY... they're far from perfect. Join us as we poke the bear that is the collective Internet by talking about some very famous and popular games that we find to be overrated. And be sure to let us know what games fit the bill for you, too! (You can pick our favorites just to spite us, that's okay.)

    Do Graphics in JRPGs Matter?

    Digital Foundry's recent breakdown of the graphical issues present in Metaphor re:Fantazio sparked a lot of outrage online, which got us thinking: How much do graphics REALLY matter in a JRPG?

    Turn-Based... With a Twist!

    There are a ton of turn-based JRPGs out there -- many of them among the best the genre has to offer. But we wanted to explore our favorite turn-based JRPGs that add a little more to the mix. These are turn-based JRPGs with a twist, something unique that makes them stand out from the crowd. Give our picks a listen, and be sure to let us know what your favorites are!
