RPG Solid – Episode 694: “There’s No D in Journey”

1. QotW: My favourite PS2 RPG is Dragon Quest VIII. (I’d say Persona 4 or FFX, however I want their later re-releases.)

   Additionally, the proper Xenoblade sequence rankings is X, 3, 1, Torna, getting hit by a truck, after which 2.

   • Ha, I used to be additionally going to say Dragon Quest VIII! It confirmed it was potential to switch the open-world of a typical Squenix 2D RPG right into a 3D format, in a approach that they fully did not do with Last Fantasy X, which was a sequence of fairly corridors.

     Equally, I’d make a case for Persona 3 or 4, however once more I like P3P and Golden extra. I’d guess Nocturne and .Hack are within the combine too. However DQVIII for me. Beautiful artwork type, which nonetheless appears to be like nice, big and fascinating marketing campaign, memorable characters, enjoyable ability system. Winner.

2. Far be it for me to disagree: DQVIII was tops. But when we wish one other A+ tier recreation, for me it was Rogue Galaxy. Coming scorching off Darkish Cloud 2, I actually loved that!

   Talking of Dragon Quest… Kelley was SUPER CLOSE on her “Shirin the Wanderer began the Thriller Dungeon sequence” remark, however Torneko of Dragon Quest IV glory truly did, along with his SNES title beating Shirin by a few years.

   Additionally, Chris would possibly’ve simply had a slip of the tongue, however 3DS & Wii-U eshops died this yr. And to reply the query of why SMT: Unusual Journey wasn’t SMTIV, it’s as a result of the setting wasn’t in Tokyo or Japan. That’s principally the numbered SMT throughline.

   • In early April 2024, on-line play and different performance that makes use of on-line communication will finish for Nintendo 3DS* and Wii U software program. This additionally consists of on-line co-operative play, web rankings, and information distribution.
