Dragon Quest VIII, Part 1: If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It

This week's episode is all about the basics of the Dragon Quest series of video games, paying particular attention to the 168-million-pound elephant in the room named Final Fantasy.   

In this episode, I will ask the important questions such as:

  • What is the Dragon Quest series of video games and why am I starting with the eighth entry?
  • How does the Dragon Quest series compare to the massively popular Final Fantasy series?
  • What makes a Dragon Quest game a Dragon Quest game?

So go find your best weapon (sword, spear, boomerang, or use your bare hands), don your best armor, and don't forget to bring along a pot lid and some bunny ears.  Because it's about to get real - Dragon Quest style.  Cor blimey!

A Little Bit About This Podcast:

Welcome to my first venture into the world of podcasting!  My name is Brendan and your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to join me on my quest to delve deeply into the world of video games, particularly the games that have influenced my life the most.  Along the way, I will explore what makes certain video games addicting, address the negative stigma that unfortunately still surrounds video games, share my own unique experiences with video games, and broaden my gaming horizons by trying out new titles.
