Tetracast - Episode 210: Summer JRPG Party

by RPG Site Staff on 11 July, 2021

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

In this packed episode of the podcast, we kick things off with lengthy discussion on two recently-released JRPGs: the PC/Switch ports of Ys IX: Monstrum Nox and the brand new Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin. We also take a look backwards at AI: The Somnium Files, as we look forward to an unexpected upcoming sequel early next year. We also throw in several other discussions into this section, including a disappointing Fallout 76 update, Metroid, Final Fantasy I&II, and Watch Dogs.

For news this week, we have the revealed of Blue Reflection: Second Light from Gust, the biggest update yet to Genshin Impact, and more.

This edition of the Tetracast features Bryan Vitale (@ZeoMassicot), Josh Torres (@HD_Kirin), James Galizio (@Theswweet), Adam Vitale (@King_Seda), George Foster (@gepugg), Cullen Black (@DrCullenPHD), and Chao Min Wu. You can find links to the full episode of the podcast below along with our RSS feed, and also subscribe to us on iTunes or Google Podcasts, and follow on Spotify!
