Feat. two people who don’t know loads about JRPGs
I don’t want anyone to be disappointed, but Nate is away this week so you’ve got an Alice ‘n’ Matthew special forThe Electronic Wireless Show podcast, since I couldn’t draft in a third body in time. Nevertheless, this week we had a grand old time, albeit one with less chat about animals. In fact, we manage to talk about games quite a lot! Historically speaking, JRPGs didn’t often come to PC, but the times, they are a changin', so we have plenty to chat about.
There aren’tnonediversions. We talk quite a lot about scaffolding, for example. Don’t forget to tune in to the Five Nights At Freddy’s Book Club spin-off podcast.

LinksFirst up we talk aboutYakuza: Like A Dragon, the latest in theYakuzaseries. It incorporates RPG elements, where the others were a lot more actiony. Edders appreciated the new tone inhis review.
Naturally enough, we also spent a bunch of time talking aboutFinal Fantasy. I gave a big shout out to the ridiculousness ofFinal Fantasy X, and the amazing outfits ofFinal Fantasy X-2. Katharine waxed lyrical about the latteronly recently in a HYP.
We also chatted a bunch about Persona, mostlyPersona 5because that’s the one I’ve played. But alsoPersona 4, which was ported to PC and which Matthewreviewed for usand everything. I am reasonably sure I did not imagine the penis monster in Persona 5.
Shout out, too, toNier: Autotomato. It’s on our list ofbest RPGs.Nier, the 7/10 set millennia before Autotomato, is getting anew edition next year.
Recommendations this week are season four of The Crown on Netflix, and any season/episode of Death In Paradise (also on Netflix and other streaming services).Thisis the Death In Paradise opening credits song, btw. Imagine if e.g. your best mate was brutally murdered on her honeymoon, you just found the body, and that was queued up immediately afterwards
