Tetracast - Episode 249: The Rean SaGa

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

This episode is a bit of a hodge-podge of things, and we open up with some discussion on the Mana series & the newly released Echoes of Mana mobile game. Adam is in the middle of a move, but had a chance to finally check out the original Legend of Zelda, as well as Adventure of Link for the NES. Bryan gives full impressions on isometric immersive sim Weird West, and James and Chao dive into a new Ultimate Raid for Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker.

News this week is headlined by the announcement of a simultaneous worldwide release for Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten, a spinoff from the Utawarerumono series, although it looks to be PC only. We also have a platform update for The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki, at least in Japan and Asia, sales updates for Tales of Arise & Atelier Sophie 2, and more!

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