This time on Dragon Quest Around The World, I have Frostare from Mexico. Frostare one was of the first people I got to know in the DQ community online, so I'm really glad to get to share their thoughts on the blog today! Austin: First, can you tell everyone about...
This time in Dragon Quest Around The World, Bálint Bánk Varga shares his love for the Dragon Quest series. You may know him from his amazing game, Chicken Police - Paint It RED!. Austin: Can you tell everyone about yourself and Chicken Police? Bálint: I'm Bálint Bánk...
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I'm running interviews with Dragon Quest fans all around the globe. I'm hoping it lets us all feel a bit more connected and helps build up the global community even more. This time around, Joel from Argentina is sharing his stories...
Since B.J. is out for the next little bit due to his jaw, Platty from the Dragon Quest Slime Time podcast is filling in for co-hosting duties! This week, Austin and Platty discuss Platty's long history with the DQ series, as well as talking about podcasting and how...
Swords are undeniably cool. It's why we love to see them in our video games and our Dungeons & Dragons sessions. It's why people spend real-world money trying to get better ones in gacha games like Genshin Impact. There's something about a sword that just makes...
There's a fan theory out there that suggests Ashlynn in Dragon Quest VI is actually the golden dragon seen in the game (and on the Super Famicom cover). There's evidence to suggest this is - and isn't - the case, so today we'll be exploring all of those routes. It...
Over the next couple weeks (or months, or years), I'm trying to dive dive into Dragon Quest history and unearth some fun facts that people may not have known about already. We're also going to be discussing quite a few of these on Dragon Quest FM, so check those...
Christmas can be scary. Krampus. Gremlins. Sandy Claws. That time Ron Weasley had to wear his uncle's outdated robes to the Yule Ball. And if you're looking to get into some spooky Christmas Dungeons & Dragons sessions this year, look no further than Icewind Dale:...
I was a kid the first time I was exposed to Dungeons & Dragons. Although, it might not be in the way you're thinking. It's certainly not the way most people were exposed to the tabletop RPG, which now has a pretty wholesome and even kid-friendly reputation. My...
This week on Dragon Quest FM, Austin is taking a close look at Dragon Warrior VII and its legacy. The PS1 game shattered records in Japan but is heavily criticized for its graphics and pacing. Still, the game holds up fairly well in 2020, and Austin takes a look at...
This week, we start our deep dive into Dragon Quest VII. We’re mostly going to be using names from Dragon Quest VII on 3DS, and if you’re confused as to why - check out our Translations episode or just the fact that this is a deep dive into Dragon Quest VII and NOT...
This week on Dragon Quest FM, we're continuing our discussion on archetypes within the series. For our final episode on the subject, we're talking about the orphan hero! Hero orphan? Orphaned hero? Whatever. You get it. The hero whose parents are either dead or...
Okay, so PlayStation 5 pre-orders were kind of a mess. But amidst all the chaos, confusion, excitement, and anger that came with PS5 pre-orders, I learned a valuable lesson about friendship. Cue the sappy, moral-at-the-end-of-the-story music here if you want. But I...
Welcome to our DQFM Halloween Spooktacular! Last year, we focused mostly on Dragon Quest’s spookiest moments. This year, though, we’re totally talking about the monsters. And not just any monsters, but the Halloween-themed ones (and the SPOOKY ones!). If you scare...
Hey, I'm a sucker for art books. The last time I counted, I had something like fifty video game art books on my shelf--a good chunk of them from Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, and Xeno games. And since I love art books so much, and since Dragon Quest is my favorite...
