DQFM – 18 – Final Fantasy vs Dragon Quest
This week, we’ve got a special episode for our Patreon patron, Ty. We have a thoughtful and friendly discussion about Final Fantasy versus Dragon Quest. We thought it’d be cool to compare numbered Final Fantasy games to its DQ counterparts. We’re both Final Fantasy...
Dragon Quest IX: The Gortress, the Gittish Empire, and Beyond
This is the final week for me to talk about Dragon Quest IX, which is a game I've thoroughly enjoyed. You can check out my first post on the game here, and my second post here. This week, I wanted to discuss a lot of the endgame story, areas, and characters. For me,...
DQFM 17 – Dragon Quest Monsters+ Manga – “This is our spiteful manga episode!”
Just in time for the new release of Dragon Quest Monsters + Volume 4, which releases in English on September 17th, we’re bringing you an episode all about DQ Manga! We’ve been talking about it for a while, and now it’s finally here! For today, we’re mostly just...
Dragon Quest IX: Quester’s Rest, Krak Pot, and the Starflight Express
Last week, I mostly talked about the Dragon Quest IX's Vocation system, the story set-up, and how themes and locations remind me so much of Dragon Quest VII. This week, I'd like to talk about some of the mechanics that make IX feel unique and different from other...
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...
