Some stories about Atelier Ryza 2, more images from Shin Megami Tetsui III and Hajimari No Kiseki too. And a bunch of smaller stories I've wanted to cover for a week now.

Without checking past episodes, I'd say this is the shortest one yet. I had planned to include the third interview in this series, but it yet to be made public. These were via the Final Fantasy Portal Site. The first interview is with Kazuhiko Aoki, who handled event design and scenarios for FFIX. The second interview is with Toshiyuki Itahana, whose responsibilities for FFIX included character design and game art. Here is the link: https://na.finalfantasy.com/topics/191.

It's a busy week on the podcast. Nothing too juicy or in depth but a lot of fun. I've been playing the Genshin Impact closed beta for about 10 hours so want to give my initial impressions.

You'll have to listen to see what about. Plus all the news of the week. Thanks for listening! Please consider funding the show via Patreon or the Anchor link at the bottom of the description.

Sad news that broke last week leads the podcast. Most saw a delay coming for Tales of Arise. It has been pushed back outside of 2020. But it's not all sad news this week. We have some fun stories about Final Fantasy XIV, Trails games, and plenty of new trailers. All the week's JRPG stories in one place: The JRPG Report. Thanks for listening friends!

Sunday Specials were made for this: two JRPG lovers talking about some the recent games we've played. Jordan and myself hope you enjoy this fun hour and a half chat. We start off with the bad news of Tales of Arise's delay then switch in some Trails talk of Cold Steel and Sky. The second half is dedicated to the debate between Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2. Finally we dont hold anything back with our discussion of Final Fantasy VII Remake. The beginning is general talk and then you'll have an opportunity to stop listening. The last part of the podcast is spoiler central. Thanks for listening friends! Please consider funding the show via Patreon or the Anchor link at the bottom of the description.

The New Game + Expo did not disappoint. For a new event, it was full of trailers and announcements. The most important one to myself was the release date for Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV. It will come to the west on October 27, 2020. The Switch and PC versions come in 2021. We also finally confirmed Y's IX is coming to the west. So many trailers and announcements to cover.

I thought it would be a fun time to look back at the year at its midpoint. We've had so many great games already with more to come. So i'll dive into my top 10 most anticipated titles for 2020. We'll talk about the ones the already came out, got delayed, and ones that may not come out this year at all. Plus I have some listeners favorites too. Finally we'll list every JRPG yet to come out this year. We may well look back at 2020 as one of if not the best JRPG year ever. Thanks for listening!
