DQFM 14 – Dragon Quest Swords – “IGN Gave Us Stockholm Syndrome”
This week we’re talking about Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors, which was released on the Nintendo Wii in 2007
Most Memorable Characters in Each Dragon Quest
This week, I just wanted to rank some of the most memorable characters in each mainline Dragon Quest game. That doesn't mean they're necessarily my favorite (although a few of them are). These are also my most memorable characters, the ones who stuck out the most for...
DQFM 13 – Live Listener Q&A – “We are in the same room!”
Do you hear that noise? It’s high-fiving! Because for the first time in the (admittedly short) history of Dragon Quest FM, B.J. and Austin are together! In the same room!
Final Thoughts on Dragon Quest VIII
This is likely going to be my final post on Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King. At the time of this writing, I beat it about two days ago. That means I only have to beat DQ IX in order to beat every mainline Dragon Quest game within a single year. Today, I...
12 – Dragon Quest News and Announcements – “Moonwalk right out the door”
This past week, we got tons of Dragon Quest news! We got heroes in Smash, the release of Dragon Quest Your Story in Japan, some news about DQ X that makes us want to cry, and some exciting updates about Dragon Quest XI S!
Dragon Quest VIII: Side Quests, Mini-Games, and More!
Last week, I talked a lot about the characters in Dragon Quest VIII. This week, I want to focus more on the gameplay mechanics that make this entry unique from the others in the series. DQ VIII has a lot to offer in terms of side quests and mini-games. There's the new...
DQFM 11 – Dragon Quest 2 (Listener’s Choice)
This week, we’re talking about Dragon Quest 2! We had a listener poll, and this is the topic you chose. A HUGE thanks to everyone who voted. We’re going to be discussing the game in-depth (plus the game is, like, 30 years old), so there will be some SPOILERS ahead.
Dragon Quest VIII: Heroes and Villains
This week, we've finally reached Dragon Quest VIII! It's the next-to-last main entry game I have left to play. I'll admit, I've taken it much slower with this game for a number of reasons. (1) I'm almost to the end of playing all the mainline DQ games this year, and...
DQFM 10 – Dragon Quest Builders, Part Deux – “Just exploding and pooping hearts”
We like Dragon Quest Builders 2 so much that we wanted to do a second episode so we could talk about it more. Enjoy!
Early Impressions of Dragon Quest Builders 2
Just a quick note: we did a first impressions episode of DQ Builders 2 Dragon Quest FM (my DQ podcast, for those who don't know), and it works as a sort of companion piece to this post. This week, I want to talk about my SPOILER FREE! early impressions of Dragon Quest...
DQFM 09 – Dragon Quest Builders 2 Initial Impressions
Highlights include the ways 2 is better than 1, mini-medal puzzles, NPCs forming lines to poop, and hunting for rare artifacts!
2019 Half-Year Highlights
This week, I'm at a bit of a crossroads. I've finished up the Zenithia Trilogy--possibly my favorite video game trilogy of all time--and although I still have to finish Dragon Quest VIII and play IX, I'm almost at the end of my quest. I said I was going to beat every...
DQFM 08 – Dragon Quest IV and VI
Austin and B.J. talk about where they are in the DQ games they’re currently playing. B.J. is playing DQ IV and Austin just finished DQ VI.
The Shield of Valora: A Defense of Dragon Quest VI
I’ve heard a lot of complaints about Dragon Quest VI. Before I even played the game, I had a lot of people warning me that I might not like it. So when I started it up–fresh off the postgame of DQV, I was cautiously optimistic.
DQFM 07 – Dragon Quest Heroes 1 & 2
In this week’s episode of DQFM, we discuss Dragon Quest Heroes 1 & 2, originally released on the PS4. We discuss the difference in play styles, NPCs, and even towns from the mainline series.
I Need a Job!: Early Parts of Dragon Quest VI
This week, we've finally reached my play-through of Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation! Or, if you're like me and you picked up the UK version of the game because it's a whole lot cheaper: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Reverie! Why the name change? I have no clue. I...
