Buckle up babies, the gang’s about to take you on a wild ride across the last 10 years of Souls games, starting with the one that nobody played!  Greg and Beppe regale Nick and Josh with tales of Boletaria and how this unpolished font of innovation gave birth to one of the most artistically significant series of all time.  It may sound a little intimidating, but “I won’t cause you trouble, I won’t!”

We’ve officially reached the era where modern action RPGs are learning a lot from the Dark Souls formula and even occasionally improving on it.  Ahead of our full Souls series retrospective, Greg and Beppe examine its influence on games like Jedi: Fallen Order, and how such a well put together game can appeal to both a lifelong Star Wars fan and a near-total newcomer.

After over a decade of waiting, the Kingdom Hearts saga finally comes to a close.  Or does it?  Despite low and managed expectations for such a grand finale, Josh and Matt conclude this retrospective on a sour note of heartbreak and misery.  Better luck next time, Square!

Wherein 'Sora Goes to Flavor Town', Josh and Matt recount the long and arduous path between Kingdom Hearts 2 & 3. Listen with awe as our guests revisit the "useless" Kingdom Hearts Recoded, the surprisingly successful Birth by Sleep, and the messy mixed bag of filler that was Dream Drop Distance.

“Who will I eat ice cream with?” Josh and Matt attempt to explain their fond but complicated feelings about Kingdom Hearts 2 and deride the incomprehensibly titled fetch quest fest, 358/2 Days.

Greg and Nick finish up the Fire Emblem retrospective with, despite its development issues and bold new ideas, the surprisingly good Three Houses. They end on a positive and heartwarming note—though they question the direction of the series.

Great concept with horrible execution: Our discussion continues into what’s probably the worst game in the Fire Emblem franchise: Fates. In a surprising turn of events, a remake of the series’ black sheep entry, Shadows of Valentia, came in to quell the masses.
