Featuring: Ammosart, Belghast, Grace, Tamrielo, and Thalen
Hey Folks! Last night we recorded a show in which we attempted to thread the most delicate needle. Ammo, Bel, Grace, and Thalen have all finished the Dawntrail MSQ and only really want to talk about that. Tam however has not even started it, nor has he finished any of the post-Endwalker content. So we play this game of minesweeper where we attempt to talk about our thoughts and feelings about Dawntrail… without actually revealing any meaningful information about the expansion. Bel and Grace also talk about their experiences restarting the game with fresh alts on Kraken a brand new server where everyone is a sprout. It’s hopefully a fun show and one where we don’t actually spoil anything. Though we are absolutely looking forward to our full spoiler show at some point in hopefully the near future.
Topics Discussed:
Talking about Dawntrail without Talking about Dawntrail
Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen
Hey Folks! We are back to a full crew this week. We start off with a discussion about Fallen Aces which leads into a larger discussion of games that feel like spiritual successors to other games. From there we talk about Kodra’s experiences with Origins and taking his kiddo to at least part of it. We revisit the Nintendo Direct discussion from last week with a few things that Kodra specifically wanted to talk about. Tam has returned to Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis and how it now has way more content than someone can actually do. We wrap up the show with some initial discussion of Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail which feels like a love letter to South America.

Hey Folks! We are down essentially half our folks and as a result, we have a bit shorter show than our normal fare. We start off with some discussion about Grace’s return to Final Fantasy XIV and how Bel “influenced” them into coming back. From there we talk a bit about Four Job Fiesta and how the White Mage start is REALLY rough. We dive into Nova Drift and talk about its roguelike take on Asteroids or Geometry Wars. Tam talks about his love of arcade racers and talks about playing the 2012 Need for Speed: Most Wanted and then Ash and Bel try and sell him on Forza Horizon. Tam also talks about What the Car… which is also loosely a “car game” but not really. Then we try and wrap up the show and suddenly remember that a Nintendo Direct happened and talk about some of the games showed off.

Hey Folks! We are down a few folks who are traveling this week. Happy Father’s day to all the Dads out there. We start off with Bel talking about the recent controversies surrounding New World Aeternum and the general marketing self-own of that announcement and seemingly ignoring the current player base. We roll into a discussion about Steam Next Fest and a few games we have played, namely: Flintlock, Dungeon Clawler, and Beastie Ball. From there we talk a bit about Guild Wars 2 releasing information about the new spear attacks for three more jobs and how fun some of the general off-meta weapons can be. Bel talks about getting his confidence back and tanking once more for the first time in a few years in Final Fantasy XIV. Ash and Kodra talk about their recent experiences playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon as a Tabletop Roleplaying Game. Finally, we talk a bit about the influx of monster collection games including some more discussion about Beastie Ball.
