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.

Wheels, Scar, and Pascal join the show to celebrate that dreams really do come true.
