Tetracast - Episode 150: Revisiting Old Friends

by RPG Site Staff on 18 April, 2020

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

With the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake still fresh, the crew continues a spoiler-free chat about the game, particularly its combat elements. Then Josh then goes into his time with Sakura Wars so far, discussing its legacy among its franchise. Adam recently finished Persona 5 Royal, though he has some mixed spoiler-free thoughts on its additions, James is still working through Final Fantasy XIV - now deep into Heavensward - and Bryan revisits Fallout 76 with the new Wastelanders update, talking the improvements made to the game.

News is a bit on the light side this week, though the cast discusses more casualties of COVID-19 including the cancelation of Gamescom, San Diego Comic-Con, Anime Expo, and a Bloomberg report about the state of the PlayStation 5 launch. The chat closes out by lightly touching on the full launch of Phantasy Star Online 2, the surprise announcement of XCOM Chimera Squad, and the first gameplay footage for NieR Re[in]carnation.

This edition of the Tetracast features Bryan Vitale (@zeomassicot), Josh Torres (@HDKirin), Adam Vitale (@King_Seda), James Galizio (@theswweet). As always, you can find links to the full episode of the podcast below along with our RSS feed, and also subscribe to us on iTunes or Google Play.
