Tetracast - Episode 232: Ninety Five Canadian Dollars

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

In our last regular episode of the podcast for 2021, Adam kicks things off with an indie RPG released earlier this year - Wildermyth - which has tactical battles and a procedurally generated storyline. James and Chao then discuss spoiler-free impressions of Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. Bryan has done some catching up, playing the 2nd part to Apple Arcade RPG Fantasian, while Josh dabbles in numerous games like Omori, Another Eden, and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth.

News this week is headlined by The Game Awards, of course, but we also highlight all of the news that came both before and after Thursday's presentation. We have a new game announcement in Vestaria Saga Gaiden: The Sacred Sword of Silvanister, new ports like Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for PC and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax for modern consoles, release dates for ForspokenBabylon's Fall, and Lost Ark, and a whole lot more.

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