The Giant Sword Podcast - EP.7 Talking People & Games W/ Guest Erin Fitzgerald by Night of the Living Geeks

The great Ben Moore joins the Giant Sword podcast again this week to break down the seemingly inevitable FF15 delay and a host of other recent JRPG topics. Then, as we continue our system-by-system JRPG Handbook, we dig into the PS2's sprawling catalog with Ben.

This week on the Giant Sword podcast, our main topic breaks down our dearest and most memorable RPG towns. From timeless background music to diverse and interesting townsfolk, which RPG town sticks out to you the most? Where would you buy real estate?!

Additionally, we go over some cool and varied JRPG news from the past week. The episode concludes with our second installment of the system-by-system JRPG Beginner's Handbook, where we pick our best choices out of the relatively thin RPG herd on the PSP system. Be sure to junction your Guardian Forces, and prepare yourself for the Giant Sword Podcast!!

In the fourth installment of the Giant Sword Podcast, Taylor gives us the skinny on Star Ocean 5 and Tokyo Mirage Sessions. Then, for this week's topic, the guys share some potentially great RPGs that were marred by a single glaring flaw that drove us away.

To wrap up, we introduce a new segment: the System-by-System JRPG Beginner's Handbook! Each week we'll pick a different system and share a great game that's close to our hearts, which would also be excellent choices for someone new to the genre! Naturally, we had to start with the venerable PS1. So equip your gear, stock up on consumables, and venture into the dungeon of the Giant Sword Podcast!

In our first guest-less episode of the Giant Sword podcast, we dig into Lunar and Breath of Fire, two classic franchises. Then, we give our takes on one of the age-old questions: what are some of the greatest, most memorable boss encounters of all time?

This week we delve into Taylor's thoughts on the new Star Ocean! Also we have a special guest with us, Kathleen, to talk about her thoughts on Tokyo Mirage Sessions. After that Nick discusses his playthrough of Persona 3 and how it compares to the other games in the series! So, grab your sword 'n' board and venture into the dungeon of the Giant Sword Podcast!

It all starts here - welcome to the debut episode of the Giant Sword Podcast. To kick things off on this JRPG-dedicated show, we bring on an esteemed fan and critic of the genre: Ben Moore of Easy Allies, and formerly of the venerable Game Trailers. In this episode, we introduce ourselves and what this pod is all about; preview the best new titles to keep an eye out for this year and beyond; list our top 3 greatest RPGs of all time, and we each struggle to determine what our favorite cult title is. So, grab your sword 'n' board and venture into the dungeon of the Giant Sword Podcast!

Special thank you to Ben Moore for being such a gracious guest!
