I am always impressed by the one on one turnbased combat that #DragonQuest implements. #DragonQuestIV uses it for the Alena's Chapter 3 tournament battles and its great.

Torneko from #DragonQuestIV would be Jay-Z's fave JRPG character. The game got you flipping copper swords like a brick.

If the world were just #MarioRabbidsKingdomBattle would be the third pillar of Mario RPG outings. I am reminded that realistically that even though #MarioLuigiBrothership dropped, we really don't even have 1 pillar lol

The beauty of Mario's RPGs are how they keep the essence of the genre but simplify. Here we describe the thinking that is embedded in one turn of #MarioRabbidsKingdomBattle

One of the defining things of #MarioRabbidsKingdomBattle is the leak that preceded it. We talk about how everyone was scared of #Mario with a gun. Do you remember the leak and how you felt about it?

I really miss the days when #videogames would make you feel small on the world map. Isometric #JRPG games did it well, the modern open world games have you so big on screen it is hard to get connected with a location based on geography.

#FinalFantasyVIIRebirth Queen's Blood is my fave mini game. I would kill for a mobile game built on the that game!

Hojo Beach is truly when #FinalFantasyVIIRebirth comes into its own. The fight is great to introduce #Yuffie and we get some incredible heart to heart moments for the core cast.

It’s funny this Final Fantasy 7 Revelation discourse is popping because next week’s podcast episode is about the time in the summer where I indulged in the excess that is Rebirth. Can’t wait for you all to tap in

It is so impressive how #KingdomHearts repurposes it's design ideas. What I dislike in Atlantica with Ursula becomes brilliant by Neverland and sets up the final boss. That longterm evolution of mechanics is great.

The structure of #KingdomHearts games feel more action adventure like #Zelda than a typical #JRPG because there's only 1 town, and locations are dungeons. I thought each world would be a town like other JRPGs.

Hollow Bastion is probably in my top 5 locations in all of JRPGs. It does so many things well, impeccable level design, puzzle design and elite storytelling. You can't ask more from a JRPG location #KingdomHearts
