The Kiseki series took fans to the countries of Librel and Erebonia, but the Crossbell region had been noticeably absent in the series’ official localizations. NIS America finally brought Trails from Zero to the west in 2022, to the joy of many Kiseki fans, and we have Josh, Sam, and David on the show with us for our own Special Support Squad.

Many RPGamers have a ROM labeled “Secret of Mana 2” in a long-forgotten floppy disk box in their closet. In 2019, it was finally time to give Square Enix money for the Mana series sequel we all wanted, now officially localized as Trials of Mana, and with a brand new HD remake. Wheels, Scar, and Pascal join the show to celebrate that dreams really do come true.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was RPGamer’s game of the year in 2022, and with a good reason.  This series has come a long way since its Wii debut, and we have Robert and Alex on to chat about this epic tale involving a war between ten-year-olds.

If you find yourself agonizing over everyday decisions, then we have the game for you! Triangle Strategy makes convincing people to vote your way fun!  Just ask Josh, Ryan C, and Wheels on this week’s show.  We are still trying to convince them that another Idea Factory special is a good idea.

Adol’s adventures continue on this week’s Backtrack, as our red-haired hero ends up behind bars.  Did his constant ship-wrecking finally catch up with him?  Find out on this week’s show with Josh, Robert, and Wheels.

Once upon a time, Idea Factory made a creepy dungeon crawler named Mary Skelter Nightmares.  This game became a cult hit with the RPGamer staff. Paws and Anime Man join this fairy tale themed episode of RPG Backtrack, and talk about the taste of Marchen blood.

Are first person dungeon crawlers getting you down? Are you tired of rubbing barely clothed monster girls on your PlayStation Vita? Do you miss the stark, monochrome glow of an Apple II running Wizardry?  Dalandar, SpareHombres, and Wheels join the dungeon crawler support group, and have a good cry as their cleric turns to ash.

On this week’s backtrack, we bring a story arc that has crossed two decades, three console generations, and nine games together in one explosive finale.  Kelley, Matt, and Josh were crazy enough to finish this massive story.  Sounds like a Kiseki game to us.

This week’s show takes us on a journey through time and space. With Live a Live finally coming to the west in 2022, we thought it would be a great time to chat about this obscure Super Famicom port with the three Ryans (Costa, McCarthy, and Radcliff) and Wheels.
