Tetracast - Episode 164: Jam-packed
Welcome to the latest edition of the Tetracast, RPG Site's regular, seemingly weekly, podcast!
In this jam-packed episode of the podcast, before talking about the 'motherload' of RPG news, the crew as usual discusses briefly what they've been playing over the past week. Josh rejoins to talk about some mobile RPGs with SINoALICE and Tales of Crestoria. James highlights a revisit to Monster Hunter World. Bryan and Adam discuss Mario's latest outing with Paper Mario: The Origami King. And finally, George has more thoughts on Ghost of Tsushima.
Okay, a lot of news to get through. Nintendo's Mini Direct showcased Shin Megami Tensei V as well as Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster. At the same time, Koei Tecmo formally announced Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends and the Secret Fairy. In the middle of the week, Sega announced an English dub for Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Square Enix dropped a new trailer for Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers and an upcoming lengthening of the game's free trial. The Xbox Game Showcase had quite a bit on the RPG front, including new DLC for The Outer Worlds, a new Obsidian RPG in Avowed, a new version of Phantasy Star Online 2, a small tease for a new Fable game. At the end of the week, Suikoden creator Yoshitake Murayama announced a spiritual successor to Suikoden with Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. Other small bits of news also dropped throughout what may have been the most packed RPG news week of the Summer.
