We asked for your feedback on how to expand the podcast, and one of the top responses was YouTube videos. So we're giving that a shot this week. If your podcast client supports video, it should play right along, and you can find it on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@dqfm As for the episode itself, we discuss how we think the DQ3 HD-2D Remake is going to be and reasons why you should pick it up in November like we are. (Not a sponsored thing, either. We're just really stoked for it.)

This week is our DQB2 deep dive on bosses, and surprisingly, this is a part of the game that didn't hold up as well. At least to our memories. While Austin still has things to say about Moonbrooke (who'd have thought!?), BJ doesn't even remember some of the bosses existed. But he doesn't remember half of anything anyway, so how is that different from normal? Enjoy! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dragonquest/support

This week, we're unable to record because life, so here's the DQB2 original playthrough episode where Austin felt like he was in hell. Enjoy! We know he sure didn't! -- Don't miss our Patron-exclusive minisodes at patreon.com/dragonquestfm⁠ This will be our final episode (for now) on the wonderful Dragon Quest Builders 2! If you haven’t listened to our previous two episodes about the game, be sure to check those out (episodes (9 and 10). Today, we’re talking about the final parts of the game and our final thoughts. Fair warning: there are a few spoilers ahead! We begin our discussion by talking about Skelketraz, prison break movies, and being buddies with a slime. Then, we’re away to Moonbrooke, which Austin hated with a fiery purple passion; however, B.J. disliked it but still had some fun while he was there. We air out a few of our complaints with the game during this portion, then it’s on to happier stuff! After the break, you can hear our thoughts on Malhalla, building a spaceship, and having monsters as friends. We also talk about sandbox games in general, and which ones we’ve played and enjoyed. This leads into our discussion on the post-game, which B.J. is still playing and Austin has yet to play much. And stick around for the end, where we say our final thoughts on the game and whether or not we recommend it to people. Plus, remember that we have our first-ever ⁠Bonus Minisode ⁠up on Patreon for all of our patrons to listen to. No matter your tier, you can enjoy our bonus episodes exclusively for our Patreon members. This bonus episode covers all of our favorites on Dragon Quest Builders 2, from our favorite island to our favorite NPCs and more!
