Hi and welcome to episode 56 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We've been really intrigued by the discussion around the Final Fantasy team's suggestion that JRPG is a dirty word. We happened to talk to some Nintendo developers about negative perceptions of Japanese games and share that with you in this episode. We've also been thinking a lot about all of the important people we worked with at Nintendo of America that you might not know about. Sure, everyone knows Doug Bowser and Bill Trinen but there are so many people behind the scenes doing some great and even historically important things that you may have never heard of. By the time you're listening to this episode we would have returned from Super Nintendo World! We share/try to manifest what our perfect day would be at the park so look forward to some vlogs where we share our experience with you. Also in this episode, we share our final Like A Dragon: Ishin impressions since we both beat the game. We wrap up with some questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.
