RPGFan Podcast (Random Encounter) Thread

[Darilon]

Personally, I prefer it as it is. It is useful for a WRPG fan to hear the opinion another WRPG fan might have about a specific JRPG or vice-versa. On the other hand people may prefer to have it divided so as the conversation about each of the two gets more detailed.

Episode 5 is up!

argh, I'm still finishing episode 3.
and this audio playing thing shouldn't be so small considering this podcast is really long
also because I keep getting confused so I end up going back a minute to 40 seconds just to hear a few sentences.
someone mentioned tales being turn-based, but I think it's real time/action.

[John]

I think what you're talking about is Kim talking about Arc Rise Fantasia, in which she referred to it as being like "if Tales were turn-based."

Great episode. Can't wait for Dragon Quest IX talk.

Particular stand outs for me was the guy who (nearly) played all three Tales of games on the NDS. Very impressive. It is so refreshing to have someone who is willing to talk about Tales games. Every other podcast I have ever listened to, as soon as the word Tales is name-dropped, they bash on it. But for the people who like these games, what's so good about them? Well we'll never know, because no one talks about it... until this podcast.

Also a question for the staff, what is the ratio of local games played versus imported games? Keep up the good work

your podcast totally sucks cuz of dennis

illusive "one" my eye

[DM Kyle E. Miller]

Thanks for the constructive criticism.

[TurnBasedDude]

Remember, I played the game for barely an hour so the name didn't stick with me yet. Also, I guess the illusive "one" sounds cooler in my mind,  even if wrong. :p

I laughed way too long and way too hard at this.

Was I the one that nearly played all 3 Tales games on DS? If so, I'm happy to make you happy. If not, I agree! Tales games rock! I'll pick up Hearts sometime soon too.

Great episode, you guys have a good dynamics in this one. I found it thoroughly entertaining.

"Baldur's Gate 2 had awesome puzzles."
"I don't know because I didn't play but because these puzzles..."
"*GASP*"

Just finished listening to Episode 8, really liked the discussion on control. Control is always something difficult to balance in all games IMO. I for one always felt in control of my team in FFXIII and very much enjoyed the game, but like ME2 that game has been talked to death. For me TWEWY wasn't hard to control, I played on both screens mostly, but it could get hectic so I eventually did just take control of the bottom screen. Maybe I'm just good with a stylus? Phantom Hour Glass would disagree. The problem for me was that it didn't really grab me. I played for a few hours and never picked it back up, the fate of too many games unfortunately.
I've gotta say that the Postcasts were the reason I joined, I used to check RPGfan every few months and read your reviews, but now I have a reason to stay. What I really like is that you guys host a very fun Podcast, I really like the idea of Podcasts, but normally the people don't appeal to me and I rarely continut to listen to them after one episode. Thumbs Up to Rob on getting this thing rolling. 

I am kind of dissapointed with the level of discussion in regards to each podcast though. Together we can bring the level of activity up! On the PS3 front, that sucks balls. Bad customer service can kill a company in some peoples eyes and I'm not surprised that you're mad. I've only had good goings with Sony so I can't help much. I hope that you get your problem sorted out, they really don't make 'em lihe they used too.

Oh! And since I've been going through each of Episodes have to give props to I believe it was Neal for mentioning Blind Guardian. Hail the Bards! or I misheard you.

"What's the point of killing all these grunts if i'm not getting experience points from them?" My favourite part of episode 8.

[PaleRobbie]

Glad you guys have been digging the show!

We've just recently put the finishing touches on final podcast crew selection as well as the format for the show.  Stay tuned!!

Will there be a new episode this week? Just wondering is all. No rush no rush
