Tetracast - Episode 194: A Neverending SaGa

Welcome to the latest edition of the Tetracast, RPG Site's regular, seemingly weekly podcast!

In this episode of the podcast, we open things up with 'gacha' RPGs, discussing the current state of Genshin Impact, Granblue Fantasy, and some Princess Connect! Re:Dive. Adam continues his SaGa playthrough and talks about Romancing SaGa 3 and its loose open-world nature and the future of Square Enix's smaller series. To wrap up the section, Josh finalizes his thoughts on Gnosia and tries to explain how exactly Loop Hero works.

In the news section of the week, we have new details for The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki, the latest entry in the long-running Trails series that seems to be making quite a few shake-ups. The Bethesda acquisition by Microsoft is also complete, leading many Bethesda RPGs to land on Xbox Game Pass. Other news tidbits from the week include a new Neptunia/Senran Kagura crossover RPG, a release date and PC release for Monster Hunter Stories 2, and more.

This edition of the Tetracast features Bryan Vitale (@zeomassicot), Josh Torres (@HD_Kirin), Adam Vitale (King_Seda), and Chao Min Wu.
