Tetracast - Episode 192: Feast, Final Fantasy, and Famine

by RPG Site Staff on 28 February, 2021

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

Special guest Alex Seedhouse and Josh open up with a long discussion about Bravely Default II, talking at length about the game's systems, including some unwanted difficulty spikes. George and Bryan talk about their initial impressions about Persona 5 Strikers, which is landing better than most Warriors-style games for both. James ventures out a bit to give some surprisingly good impressions on the new Outriders demo while Bryan wraps ups his thoughts on Project Triangle Strategy's demo.

In a packed news week, the whole cast discusses the major announcement of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, and dive especially deep into Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis, and what it might mean for more Final Fantasy VII games going forward. The unexpected but seemingly welcome battle royale spinoff Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier also looks surprisingly fun for what it is, and the topic is closed out with a discussion about Nomura's involvement with Remake's next installment.

On the Pokemon front, the cast goes over the expected official announcement of new Diamond and Pearl version remakes coming later this year with Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. James and Alex go over their hype and anticipation for Pokemon Legends: Arceus, which is an exciting prospect even if the game's initial showing was a bit rough.

In the back part of the podcast, the whole crew attempts to rapid-fire through other major news of the week, including a struggling development of Bloodlines 2, the halting of 'Anthem Next', and honestly a whole lot more.
