Deep Listens

With Adam "Borgmaster" [REDACTED] on assignment, it's up to Braden and Chris to handle the last Breath of Fire on their own. They discuss the game's divisive reputation, its unique aesthetics, and even more unique semi-roguelike structure. Is it a hidden gem that was ahead of its time or was it worthy of killing the franchise? Given that Off the Deep End is covering it, you know our feelings could go either way.

In this episode Gino, Em, and Pete play their first Yakuza game, Yakuza: Like a Dragon! We cover the game's bonkers story, classic JRPG combat, and rediculous characters. We also cover the game's ability to highlight marginalized people while also making violence the answer to almost every problem. Like a Dragon is a game of contrasts. Unfortunately, Em's two hour explanation of the rules of Mahjong had to be cut for time. However, I assure you it was riveting.

With Borgmaster on assignment, it's up to Braden and Chris to discuss the fourth game in the Fire Emblem series, in a way that only two FE old heads with a lot of baggage are able to. You'll learn far more than you ever wanted to about Genealogy's mechanics, character pairing, story, and map size, with an added dose of random series gripes and deeply specific things that only people who've played too many of these games notice. You're welcome! We're not sorry!
