Live Genre Chronicles

Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch suffers the wrath of the DGC hosts as we take one of the most reputable seventh-generation JRPGs to task. The music tracks used have been commissioned from Fuzzy Proxy.

It's the first anniversary of Dead Genre Chronicles, and in celebrating that fact, we recorded nearly four hours worth of podcast! Due to the unwieldy length, this episode has been split into two smaller ones. This second segment is all about our game for the month, Nier! The first half can be found here. The music tracks used have been commissioned from Fuzzy Proxy.
