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...
DQFM 06 – Dragon Quest: Your Story and Playing “Who Said It? Dr. Agon or BJ?”
This week, we’re discussing the latest Dragon Quest Your Story trailer and poster! Austin and B.J. are both excited for the movie, but they’re approaching it differently.
Cor Blimey! Why Dragon Quest Has the Best NPCs
Most video games are not about the NPCs. They're called non-playable characters for a reason. You aren't supposed to play as them, much less get attached to them. For the most part, you don't even have to talk to them. In a lot of video games, NPCs are set dressings....
DQFM 05 – Dragon Quest 1 – “You are embarrassing, and I am a stick in the mud”
This week, Austin and B.J. explore early JRPGs and also talk about the first Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior in the West).
Dragon Quest Monsters+ Volume 3 Overview
I don't usually review stuff on here. So let's think of this as more of a (mostly) spoiler-free overview than a review. I wrote an earlier post on Dragon Quest Monsters+, which you can read here. Dragon Quest Monsters+ is a standalone, sorta-sequel series by Mine...
DQFM 04 – Post-E3 DQ Thoughts
Last episode, we went through our pre-E3 hopes and dreams. This week, we come back to reality and talk about what we got right, what we got wrong, and all of the great stuff that happened regardless.
Dragon Quest V: (Part Three) Adulthood/Fatherhood
This week, I’m talking about Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride! The game is divided into three parts, based on the hero’s age, so the posts are divided up that way, too. You can find the first part, detailing the hero’s childhood, right...
DQFM 03 – Our Pre-E3 Show, or The One Where All of BJ’s Dreams are Destroyed by Austin
E3 is just around the corner, and we wanted to talk about some of the most important things for us. From Dragon Quest X to XII to what we hope they let us see in DQ XI S for the Switch.
Dragon Quest V: (Part Two) Young Adulthood
This week, I'm talking about Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride! The game is divided into three parts, based on the hero's age, so the posts are divided up that way, too. You can find the first part, detailing the hero's childhood, right here. Today, I'm...
DQFM 02 – Dragon Quest XI: Journey Through the Gazillion Versions
Dragon Quest XI has experienced incredible success in the West, and there is good cause for that. It takes the DQ formula that has worked for over 33 years and hones it into what many people say might be the best in the series. Unlike previous Dragon Quest games, though, DQXI has released on multiple platforms at launch, instead of getting remasters and remakes over the years.
DQFM 01 – What Dragon Quest Game Should You Start With?
We get asked a lot about which Dragon Quest game you should start with? Should you start with DQXI because it’s the newest one? What about DQVIII because it’s one of the most well-known and well-beloved? Or should you, like many suggest, start all the way back at the beginning and play Dragon Quest I-III before moving into the more modern games.
