We have crafted the best JRPG of all time! This week we use our experience and love for the genre to create the best JRPG. We go through things like story, characters and music to highlight what makes each element so great.

The Nintendo Switch 2 JRPG Port Bonanza is here and it is starting to feel like a second home for JRPGs… and honestly, we didn’t expect it to ramp up this quickly.In this episode, we sit down and talk through the wave of JRPG ports landing on the platform. What’s worth your time, what surprised us, and which ones might not hit the same depending on how you like to play.

Some of these are games we already know really well, so it’s been interesting seeing how they hold up in a new format. Others feel like they finally found the right place to exist.

This week we get into JRPG length. What JRPGs really take advantage of their long run time and could they be shortened a bit? We dive in and answer members questions and another fun round of Bonus XP!

This week Mags returns from Japan and we put together a top 10 list of upcoming JRPGs for 2026! Be sure to let us know what games you are most excited for.

This week Mags and Slam cover all of the Trails series focusing on each arc. We go over what each of them does best, our favorite characters and honestly we just ramble on gushing about how much we adore this series. Unfortunately Brandon couldn't make it so Lamp Brandon is filling in.

This week you're in for a treat. We are ranking every fast food restaurant. This was a fun and challenging list to make so we hope you enjoy it. Please don't hesitate to let us know in the comments what your favorite restaurants are and if we got this right or wrong!
