Let's talk about and obsess over Dragon Quest!
The 35-year-old JRPG series has its hooks in us, and we're okay with that. Austin played through the whole series in a single year and is blogging about it, and Beej is discovering and adoring the series right on his heels. From character spotlights to deep dives into mainline games and more, we hang out each week to rave about Dragon Quest and celebrate the series!

This week we talk about he DQ2 HD-2D Remake's post game, though not every bit of it because Square Enix still has a moratorium they've asked to be honored. There are a lot of cool things going on, and Austin says that the final boss doesn't have as much finality as you'd expect. So what waits you after the credits roll? You'll just have to listen to find out!https://dragonquest.fmhttps://bsky.app/profile/dragonquest.fmhttps://x.com/dragonquestfmhttps://youtube.com/@dqfmhttps://patreon.com/dragonquestfm
Austin and Beej talk about good and the bad that come with DRAGON QUEST 1 HD-2D Remake, from the absurdly high difficulty at times (or should Austin just GIT GUD?) to the new content that ties all three entries of the Erdrick trilogy together. There's a lot of good in the game, but is it the strongest link in the new remake trilogy, or the weakest? Or the middle?!

This week, Austin talks about his experience with Pokémon Legends ZA and meeting our good friend Platty from the Slime Time podcast IRL! Pokémon has a hold on Austin, and he plays every game that comes out. So how does Legends ZA stand up to some of the lesser-loved ones like Scarlet/Violet? You gotta listen to find out!

The beta test for the new Dragon Quest mobile game is live--and neither of us got in! It's a tragedy of epic proportions! We talk about that, why Austin never had a chance to get in, and what some of our friends are saying about the beta since they were loved and got in!https://patreon.com/dragonquestfmhttps://bsky.app/profile/dragonquest.fmhttps://x.com/dragonquestfmhttps://dragonquest.fm
This week, the Questy Boys (no mystery this time, though!) discuss the content that has been added to the new version of Dragon Quest 7, as well as the content that's been officially announced as being cut.

On September 25th, the Dragon Quest manga, The Mark of Erdrick (known as Emblem of Roto in Japan), will release in English for the very first time. With us in this episode is Jennifer Sherman, the localization editor for the series, and we talk about the history of DQ manga, she gives us a preview of the new book, and what it takes to localize and translate something like a 15-volume series like The Mark of Erdrick. Austin also mentions a previous translator interview he did with Nob Ogasawara, and you can find that at the following link: https://geektogeekmedia.com/geekery/dragonquestaustin/dragon-quest-translation-localization-interview-with-nob-ogasawara/You can pre-order The Mark of Erdrick now at https://amzn.to/41TEpzaDon't miss Jennifer on Twitter and Bluesky as https://x.com/jaasherman and https://bsky.app/profile/jaasherman.bsky.socialYou can find us at https://bsky.app/profile/dragonquest.fm and https://x.com/dragonquestfm, as well as https://patreon.com/dragonquestfm
Like you, we're always waiting on the next few tidbits from Square Enix about the upcoming HD-2D remakes of Dragon Quest 1 and 2. And now we have some! From news about what we can expect from the Princess of Cannock to a new system of Sigils being introduced into DQ1 all the way to a new type of item we've never had in DQ before: scrolls! It's a ton of fun this week as we go through the announcements and what they might mean for the upcoming release.https://patreon.com/dragonquestfmhttps://bsky.app/profile/dragonquest.fmhttps://youtube.com/@dqfm
It's Dragon Quest 7's 25th birthday, and we talk about all the great things about it, the bad things about it, and look at some of the cool merch Austin has that you might have never seen. BJ sure hadn't!https://youtube.com/@dqfmhttps://bsky.app/profile/dragonquest.fmhttps://twitter.com/dragonquestfm
DQ has some wonderful characters, and this week, we talk about which ones would be the most fun to spend an evening out on the town. You definitely see Austin and BJ's personalities come out in their choices, too. It's a fantastic, silly discussion, and we want to know from you, too: which DQ character do you want to have a beer with?https://bsky.app/profile/dragonquest.fmhttps://youtube.com/@dqfmhttps://patreon.com/dragonquestfm
This week, the guys are playing catch(up) as Austin recounts his recent trip to Seattle. It's a non-DQ episode, but it's so much fun you'll want to swing for the fences anyway.https://youtube.com/@dqfmhttps://patreon.com/dragonquestfmhttps://twitter.com/dragonquestfmhttps://bsky.app/profile/dragonquest.fm
Beej went to Gen Con and had one of the best professional gaming experiences of his life. You have to hear about this trip! So much gaming goodness!https://bsky.app/profile/dragonquest.fmhttps://youtube.com/@dqfmhttps://twitter.com/dragonquestfmhttps://dragonquest.fm
Today, we discuss one of the most common questions we get asked from listeners: do we think DQ12 will be open world and what our thoughts on it are.
This week, we're talking all about the new leak and rumor that there's going to be a Dragon Quest 7 remake. But didn't we just get a DQ7 remake on the 3ds?! What's going on? We have a good discussion, and we want to know your opinions on the leak, too.
This week, we talk about everything that made us love DQ in the first place. It's a trip down memory lane with Beej and Austin, and you may hear about some new games that make you want to pick them up, which is a win-win!
Austin got a Switch 2 for his father's day gift, and he discusses his experience with it in the time since. There have been a few issues with the transfer, and his daughters aren't too happy with how it handles Animal Crossing. But he did get Mario Kart World, so he and Beej talk about the differences in it and MK 8 Deluxe and how one is a better game than the other. But which is it!?https://bsky.app/profile/dragonquest.fmhttps://twitter.com/dragonquestfmhttps://patreon.com/dragonquestfmhttps://youtube.com/@dqfm
Beej was able to get a Switch 2 at launch, and today we're talking about the first week of having it and whether or not it was worth the money. There are also tangents into Dragon Quest 3 performance, how Austin was a professional juggler, and why we're friends. It also ends on a dark note about Mario Kart online, so keep your bingo cards ready.https://bksy.app/profile/dragonquest.fmhttps://twitter.com/dragonquestfmhttps://patreon.com/dragonquestfmhttps://youtube.com/@dqfm
