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...
It’s a special Patreon patron-request episode. Our newest patron, Abigail, belongs to the tier that lets you choose your own episode topic, and she chose music. Which is great. We haven’t really done a full episode on music before, so it’s the perfect time to do that!
This is my second post on Dragon Quest 2: Luminaries of the Legendary Line. You can find the first part here. And you can buy the iOS version I played right here for just $4.99. Last time, I talked about all the different times I nearly quit playing this tough game,...
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...

Hey everybody! So here's the deal: I've been working on a Dragon Quest book for a while now. Part of it is my own thoughts on the series, along with some stuff pulled from this site and the Dragon Quest FM podcast. And part of it is reflections and interviews with...
It's a secret to absolutely no one, but I really love Dragon Quest 11 S. Even when I first played the vanilla version, I fell in love with DQ11 almost instantly. There are plenty of reasons to love the game, and I've tried to narrow down the best ones - the ones that...
This week, we're moving to Dragon Quest III: Seeds of Salvation! Just like with the first two entries in the series, I played this version on my phone. I was excited to finally get to DQ3 because it seemed to a be a fan favorite, and a lot of people told me it was the...
Last week, I talked about my early impressions of Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation and the fairytale influence in much of the game. I also talked briefly about a gorgeous giant bird you can ride, and all the towns that mirror places in our own world. But now,...
Now that we've gotten three of our five key emblems, it's time to go get a fourth. This time, let's head to the dwarf town Gakuto Gatara. It looks like a mining town with some Aztec art influences. There's a brief scene about a hoarder named Dustan who might have our...
Here, I've counted down my personal Top Ten Vocations in Dragon Quest VII, as well as giving short explanations of each one. Also, as a side note, please know I'm referring to the 3DS version of the game.
Last week, I counted my Top Ten favorite human Vocations in Dragon Quest VII. As promised, this week I'm counting down the monster vocations that I had the most fun with. Monster vocations work a little differently in Dragon Quest VII than the typical human jobs. In...
