Tetracast - Episode 169: RPGs as a Service

by RPG Site Staff on 29 August, 2020

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

On the episode of the podcast, George opens up with a discussion around Mortal Shell, a recently released indie Soulsborne style action RPG. James continues his trek through Final Fantasy XIV. Bryan has a lot to say about Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition, which unfortunately is severely hamstrung by its poor online implementation.

Much more news to talk about this week compared to last. Yakuza: Like a Dragon finally has a confirmed release date, hitting shelves on November 13. A surprise Nintendo Direct hit us earlier in the week, so we chat Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythmic Adventure Pack, Collection of SaGa Final Fantasy Legend, and a lot of Kingdom Hearts with respect to Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory.

Other news scattered throughout the week includes a February 2021 release date for Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, an October 2020 date for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne's fifth and final free title update, and a new expansion coming to Guild Wars 2. Now that George is back, we end the episode revisiting the recent announcements for Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad.

This edition of the Tetracast features Bryan Vitale (@zeomassicot), James Galizio (@theswweet), Adam Vitale (@King_Seda), and George Foster (@gepugg).
