Austin spent a lot of time with the HD-2D remake of Dragon Quest 2, and it's by far the better adaptation in the new collection. Hear what he has to say about the new scenarios and character, and why the Prince of Cannock might not be quite as bad as he used to be. Also, Beej forgot to ask him about the kitty cat suit, and he feels terrible. Next time!

Austin and Beej talk about good and the bad that come with DRAGON QUEST 1 HD-2D Remake, from the absurdly high difficulty at times (or should Austin just GIT GUD?) to the new content that ties all three entries of the Erdrick trilogy together. There's a lot of good in the game, but is it the strongest link in the new remake trilogy, or the weakest? Or the middle?! Listen to find out!

On September 25th, the Dragon Quest manga, The Mark of Erdrick (known as Emblem of Roto in Japan), will release in English for the very first time. With us in this episode is Jennifer Sherman, the localization editor for the series, and we talk about the history of DQ manga, she gives us a preview of the new book, and what it takes to localize and translate something like a 15-volume series like The Mark of Erdrick.

Austin also mentions a previous translator interview he did with Nob Ogasawara, and you can find that at the following link: https://geektogeekmedia.com/geekery/dragonquestaustin/dragon-quest-translation-localization-interview-with-nob-ogasawara/
