Our favorite RPG Remakes and Remasters
Ngachacha @ngachacha - We all know Final Fantasy 7 Remake is fantastic but I want to give a shoutout to one of my favorite games of all time which is a remaster of an action-rpg, and that is NieR Replicant version 122474487139! That brand new ending left me in tears for days!

Blaze Knight - A few of my favorite remakes/remasters are FFVI on DS (crank the difficulty up to 11 on this one), The GBA remasters of Breath of Fire and Breath of Fire II (turns the grinding down by half!), and Shining Force GBA (Added story relevant characters and new mechanics). A few remakes I hope to get to at some point: Chrono Cross, Secret of Mana and Fire Emblem: Shadows of Valencia. And a couple I would like to see remade: Lunar series, Lufia series, and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn.

Sky_Katchr_Gaming - Well I've only played one and that's Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology on 3DS. I never played the DS version but I heard that the art style is great. So someday I'll play it. I'd love to see remasters of the Tales games that are not on PS4 or Switch. Also all of the Mario and Mario and Luigi RPGs on Switch.

Our favorite RPG support charactersTheMuff1nMon - Since I'm in a Fire Emblem mood - I have to shoutout the support and best Golden Deer - Marianne. Such a sweet character with a much deeper, darker complex backstory. And as I usually do - a shoutout for a Tales character and I'm going to go with Mint from Tales of Phantasia - the quintessential healer. She literally can't do damage but is always there to heal the party, provide debuffs or even freeze time to support the team. Awesome design, awesome character.
Blaze Knight - Gotta give my shout out to Narsha of Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon for GBA and Reyson from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. The former was a character added to the GBA remake that is all about support, she has access to the Attack Spell which boosts your allies attacks, full party heal in Aura, and increased movement speeds in Step spell. The latter is a rare Heron who in his beast form can grant an additional turn to up to 4 party members, plus he flies for easily placement in battle.
Ngachacha @ngachacha - Huge shout out to Sharla from Xenoblade Chronicles who literally shoots her party members with healing rounds to restore health. But my personal favorite is definitely Aerith from Final Fantasy 7 Remake! Using Arcane Ward to cast spells twice is ridiculously OP!
Jennsen R’lyeh(Nick) @JennsenVT - Vivi from FFIX

Our favorite non-RPGs that use RPG mechanicsSmooth423 - Hear me out......Minecraft. Do you think Minecraft is a non-rpg with RPG mechanics? The Minecraft books make it seem so too. Also the Minecraft Audiobook with Jack Black - Minecraft: The Island is a great listen. I highly recommend it.
Ngachacha @ngachacha - Golf Story is definitely one of my favorites! It is a fantastic golf game with rpg mechanics like leveling up specific golf skills and optional side quests. Nintendo needs to shadow drop Sports Story at the next Nintendo Direct!
SkinnyMatt @skinnymattk - I was curious about how you feel about “buying” your skills in a skill tree? Specifically for a game like Yakuza 0. I’m on the fence about buying your skills, but personally I feel Yakuza does it very well because it allows you to customize to your play style.
