Dragon Quest FM
304 episodes - English - Latest episode: 13 days ago - ★★★★★ - 46 ratingsLet's talk about and obsess over Dragon Quest!
The 35-year-old JRPG series has its hooks in us, and we're okay with that. Austin played through the whole series in a single year and is blogging about it, and Beej is discovering and adoring the series right on his heels. From character spotlights to deep dives into mainline games and more, we hang out each week to rave about Dragon Quest and celebrate the series!

July 31, 2020 09:00 - 41 minutes - 29.4 MBIt's the second and final portion of our listener Q & A! This week, B.J. is back and ready to answer all your questions!

July 24, 2020 09:00 - 27 minutes - 21.8 MBIt's time for our annual listener Q & A! This week, B.J. is still out because of his jaw, so we split our answers into two separate episodes. He'll be back next week to give his answers on everything. This week, though, Austin answered a wide variety of questions regarding Dragon Quest XI, speculating on XII, dreaming about Heroes 3 and Builders 3, and just what about Dragon Quest was so appealing to him in the first place.

This time around, we're discussing the monsters and villains we liked, loved, and hated (to fight, at least). In the first part of the show, we discuss Austin's latest DQ swag, like the Ukulele Tab book and Slime teapot, and then we dive straight into the iconic monsters like the king slime that got their start in DQ IV! From there, we talk about some of our favorite (and not-so-favorite) monsters and bosses in the game! In the second ...

July 03, 2020 12:46 - 56 minutes - 44.4 MBIt's week two of our Deep Dive into Dragon Quest IV! This week, we're talking all about the main characters and playable companions that make this game so great. Warning: There are lots of spoilers for DQ IV in this episode! First, we talk about the Dragon Quest X event that's happening in Final Fantasy XIV this month, as well as how you can play it for free! And after that bit of news, we dive right into discussing the memorable main characters in the game. In the second half of the show...

S2 E21 - Austin's Quarantine Cast Mini-Compilation
June 05, 2020 15:53 - 42 minutes - 39.4 MBThis week, we are doing something a little different. Austin has a family emergency, and we have been unable to record a new episode.

S2 E15 - All About Sylvando, Darling (Dragon Quest XI Character Spotlight)
April 24, 2020 14:23 - 43 minutes - 40.7 MBThis week on Dragon Quest FM we're celebrating Sylvando! He is everyone's favorite character (well, maybe not everyone, but he ranked #1 in the poll from Famitsu), and he has some of the most personality of any JRPG character we've ever seen. Or maybe even any video game character, if we're being honest. Austin says that Sylvando is his favorite video game character ever. Ever. Possibly (probably?) even surpassing Vivi from Final Fantasy IX. Which is absurd because he is insanely in love wi...

April 17, 2020 16:56 - 42 minutes - 39.1 MBThis week, we’re talking about Veronica’s other half, her twin sister Serena. Like Veronica, Serena is a Keeper from Arboria. Serena is the sweeter, more naive of the twins. She follows Veronica around, which is ironic since Veronica now has the appearance of a child. You’d expect it to go the other way. She is the priest in terms of classic DQ vocations and is voiced by Jessica Clark, whose credits include being a regular on Versailles and appearances in other BBC shows like Call the Midwi...

Naturally, there are going to be spoilers in this episode, so consider yourselves warned! We start the episode by asking "Who is Veronica?" Turns out, it's kind of an interesting answer, especially considering the backstory Veronica and her sister have, as well as the Great Sage's soul they share. After that, we take to Twitt...

April 03, 2020 15:37 - 33 minutes - 31.3 MBCharacter Spotlights for the cast of Dragon Quest XI! We’re going in the order that they join our hero’s party, so this first week is all about Erik! REAL NICE THANK YOU to our two new patrons, Citrus C and Matthias! We appreciate you so much, You rock. Keep in mind that we have LOTS OF SPOILERS AHEAD! Each character in XI, although not officially designated with a job, has a job that goes back to classic DQ vocations. Erik is a thief. But who is Erik? A blue-haired thief who’s super lo...
S2 E11 - Questin' in the Quarantine
March 27, 2020 14:16 - 33 minutes - 30.9 MBIt's a new week, and both Austin and B.J. have been in quarantine (like a lot of folks out there). So what have we been doing with our time?

Austin has been putting out the Daily Quarantine Cast on our Patreon page, and he's been playing quite a bit of Dragon Quest X. That's what a lot of this episode is about: discussing all the cool stuff that he's seen during his travels into the...

If you want to read how to do that, you can read all about it right here. Picking up from last week, we start our discussion with how to play the game itself. Austin breaks ...
S2E8: Snack World vs. Dragon Quest of the Stars
March 06, 2020 21:44 - 46 minutes - 37.3 MBThis week, we’re talking about two games we’ve been playing a ton: Level’-5’s Snack World and the mobile game Dragon Quest of the Stars! Last week, we geeked out over Dragon Quest of the Stars. Since then, we’ve spent a quite a bit of time with the game.

The game released on the night of February 24 for us, so we we managed to log in quite a few hours before recording the episode. As usual, our play styles are really different. B.J. is chugging through content and unlocking stuff left and right, while Austin is sidetracked by side quests. We discuss the combat system, treasure maps, RNG, "Gacha" mechanics, cool gear, and new characters. Al...

February 21, 2020 18:28 - 52 minutes - 42 MBThis week, we're discussing Dragon Quest Your Story, the movie that released on Netflix on February 13, 2020. We were both super excited to watch it (Austin watched it three times already), so this week's episode is all about the first-ever Dragon Quest movie! Warning: There will be spoilers--and lots of 'em! So, if you haven't watched the movie yet, you maybe want to boot up Netflix first and then listen to this episode. We start things off with a REAL NICE THANK YOU to our newest Patreon...
