Tetracast 377: One is Four, Two is Three, Three is Five

by RPG Site Staff on 12 January, 2025

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

It's our first episode of the year, so we reflect on our end-of-year awards, as well as discuss our holiday breaks and backlogs. We also discuss the year's earliest RPGs in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana and Freedom Wars Remastered.

We also have a ton of news to catch up on that was revealed in the last month, including everything announced at The Game Awards 2024 and a bunch of Falcom-related topics.

This edition of the Tetracast features Bryan Vitale (@NeoMassicot), Josh Torres (@HDKirin), Adam Vitale (@DrSeda), and James Galizio (@theswweet). You can find links to the full episode of the podcast below along with our RSS feed, and also subscribe to us on iTunes and follow on Spotify!
