S7 E24 - Happy 25th Anniversary DQ7!

Like you, we're always waiting on the next few tidbits from Square Enix about the upcoming HD-2D remakes of Dragon Quest 1 and 2. And now we have some! From news about what we can expect from the Princess of Cannock to a new system of Sigils being introduced into DQ1 all the way to a new type of item we've never had in DQ before: scrolls! It's a ton of fun this week as we go through the announcements and what they might mean for the upcoming release.https://patreon.com/dragonquestfmhttps://bsky.app/profile/dragonquest.fmhttps://youtube.com/@dqfm

It's Dragon Quest 7's 25th birthday, and we talk about all the great things about it, the bad things about it, and look at some of the cool merch Austin has that you might have never seen. BJ sure hadn't!https://youtube.com/@dqfmhttps://bsky.app/profile/dragonquest.fmhttps://twitter.com/dragonquestfm

DQ has some wonderful characters, and this week, we talk about which ones would be the most fun to spend an evening out on the town. You definitely see Austin and BJ's personalities come out in their choices, too. It's a fantastic, silly discussion, and we want to know from you, too: which DQ character do you want to have a beer with?https://bsky.app/profile/dragonquest.fmhttps://youtube.com/@dqfmhttps://patreon.com/dragonquestfm

This week, the guys are playing catch(up) as Austin recounts his recent trip to Seattle. It's a non-DQ episode, but it's so much fun you'll want to swing for the fences anyway.https://youtube.com/@dqfmhttps://patreon.com/dragonquestfmhttps://twitter.com/dragonquestfmhttps://bsky.app/profile/dragonquest.fm

Beej went to Gen Con and had one of the best professional gaming experiences of his life. You have to hear about this trip! So much gaming goodness!https://bsky.app/profile/dragonquest.fmhttps://youtube.com/@dqfmhttps://twitter.com/dragonquestfmhttps://dragonquest.fm

Today, we discuss one of the most common questions we get asked from listeners: do we think DQ12 will be open world and what our thoughts on it are.

This week, we're talking all about the new leak and rumor that there's going to be a Dragon Quest 7 remake. But didn't we just get a DQ7 remake on the 3ds?! What's going on? We have a good discussion, and we want to know your opinions on the leak, too.

This week, we talk about everything that made us love DQ in the first place. It's a trip down memory lane with Beej and Austin, and you may hear about some new games that make you want to pick them up, which is a win-win!

Austin got a Switch 2 for his father's day gift, and he discusses his experience with it in the time since. There have been a few issues with the transfer, and his daughters aren't too happy with how it handles Animal Crossing. But he did get Mario Kart World, so he and Beej talk about the differences in it and MK 8 Deluxe and how one is a better game than the other. But which is it!?https://bsky.app/profile/dragonquest.fmhttps://twitter.com/dragonquestfmhttps://patreon.com/dragonquestfmhttps://youtube.com/@dqfm

Beej was able to get a Switch 2 at launch, and today we're talking about the first week of having it and whether or not it was worth the money. There are also tangents into Dragon Quest 3 performance, how Austin was a professional juggler, and why we're friends. It also ends on a dark note about Mario Kart online, so keep your bingo cards ready.https://bksy.app/profile/dragonquest.fmhttps://twitter.com/dragonquestfmhttps://patreon.com/dragonquestfmhttps://youtube.com/@dqfm
