  • A Detailed Overview of Ruby Party: The Founder of Otome Games

    Ruby Party is one of Koei Tecmo's longest-running and most iconic developers (they literally birthed the otome game genre). However, they're hardly known outside of Japan.
    This video is a deep dive into Ruby Party's history, their key franchises, their legacy as well as how they birthed the Otome game. Even if you're not into otome, I think you'll enjoy this video as much as I have making it!

  • Dragon Quest on 3DS: Every Mainline and Spinoff Game Revisited (+ JPN exclusives) (Retrospective)

    Dragon Quest had an incredible run on the 3DS, so let's take a look back on it, shall it? Every Dragon Quest game Square Enix released on the 3DS (including Japanese exclusives) has its own story to tell in so many ways. This is easily my longest video to date. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I've enjoyed making it!
