Dragon Quest FM

Our very first live episode! We are in the same room, and we're live and talking with chat! We're talking about the new character in DQ 1+2 remake, and we are going to talk about the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal and our takeaways...AND MORE!

Today we're taking a look and talking about some of the really cool stuff in our DQ collections, like the most amazing poster from DQ Island Beej has ever seen, Austin's favorite shirt, a slime controller, the very first Game Boy Color game that Beej has ever owned, and the sturdiest metal slime 2DS this side of the Pacific. And way more! Leave us a comment or shout out to us on social med...

Today we're taking a look and talking about some of the really cool stuff in Austin's DQ collection, like his DQ Tact Super Famicom box (you read that right!), as well as other rare things like his Kenshin Dragon Quest plug-and-play set and how it serendipitously made its way from Japan to south Florida without him even being involved. And way more! Follow us on Bluesky at https://bsky.app/@dragon...

DQXIS was removed from the Switch eShop, but it's back! There's a Dragon Quest golf line of sports merch, and a new DQ Manga--the Mark of Erdrick--coming in September. We're stoked! Follow us on Bluesky at https://bsky.app/@dragonquest.fm Music and sound effects copyright Square Enix.

At the request of our lovely patron Jeff the Seamonkey, we're talking about DQ Spin-offs that could actually be a success rather than just niche cult classics. It's a lot of fun to get the ideas flowing, and BJ cannot stop thinking about all the various cozy DQ games that could exist. Oh, and Austin was wrong about Ron Glass. He apologizes. Let us know in the comments or on Bluesky: https:...

The post-game of DQ3 is really cool, though it can get frustrating if you're working on doing it to 100% completion. What have your experiences been with the postgame, and we...

This week, we go into a more spoilery discussion of the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D remake, and we talk a lot about the different aspects that hit new players as well as the absurdly high encounter rate in this game and the parts of games that just make us want to put it down and take a break. Also, Beej has his dumb hat on again. Be sure to subscribe on YouTube, too, at https://youtube.com/@dqfm, and le...

This week, both of us have dug into the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake. Evne though Austin has already played through the game, he still has lots of thoughts about the beginning and just the system overall. BJ has a ton of thoughts, too, but one thing's for sure: the DQ3 remake is fantastic. Be sure to follow us on YouTube and let us know what you think about the remake so far! Intro/outro music copy...

Listener Poll on the future of DQFM: https://www.patreon.com/posts/were-looking-to-113161734 There's a lot going on in this episode as we prep ourselves for DQ3's HD-2D remake, and it's better, we think, to just let you experience it for yourselves. Enjoy!

This week, we've put together a supercut of all our DQB2 episodes. That's right, the episodes from way back when to just today are here for your listening pleasure.

Our final week going over DQ Builders 2, we talk about the lasting legacy of the game, what stands out the most, and what the future may hold for the series itself. We also find out about what Austin's daughter thinks about the Minecraft movie trailer.

This week is our DQB2 deep dive on bosses, and surprisingly, this is a part of the game that didn't hold up as well. At least to our memories. While Austin still has things to say about Moonbrooke (who'd have thought!?), BJ doesn't even remember some of the bosses existed. But he doesn't remember half of anything anyway, so how is that different from normal? Enjoy!

This week, we're unable to record because life, so here's the DQB2 original playthrough episode where Austin felt like he was in hell. Enjoy! We know he sure didn't! -- Don't miss our Patron-exclusive minisodes at patreon.com/dragonquestfm⁠ This will be our final episode (for now) on the wonderful Dragon Quest Builders 2 !

This week, it's part 2 of our Deep Dive into Dragon Quest Builders 2 where we discuss what we love about the locations and why Austin hates Moonbrook so very very very much. We also talk about Bluey, so there's that.

This week, we're kicking off our Deep Dive into Dragon Quest Builders 2 by discussing some of its most memorable characters, some fun facts about the game, and how memorable playing it back in 2019 was. You can support this podcast at Patreon.com/DragonQuestFM
