Dragon Quest FM

BJ Keeton and Austin King

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!

Like all Geek to Geek shows, we try to keep a clean rating. DQ is about fun for us, and if you can play DQ with your kiddos, you can listen to our Dragon Quest podcast with them too!

    S8 E20 - Physical Media Apocalypse Brought To You By Sony Playstation

    Sony made the bone-head play recently of discontinuing physical disc production of video games starting in January 2028. So next year is the last year we may have physical DQ games. Especially with Square Enix only using Game Key Cards on the Switch 2. We have thoughts.

    S8 E19 - Let's Talk About Books! (DQ Cookbook & DQ Manga & More!)

    This week we're talking about Books! We announce the winners of our Mark of Erdrick vol 4 giveaway, as well as discuss the manga itself (no spoilers). We also get into the Delicious Quest unofficial DQ cookbook, which is available for preorder and drops June 30 online. You can also hear us talk about goodies from the High Republic, the Saga graphic novel, Wheel of Time and more. We knew where this episode was going to start, but it went somewhere different, and that's okay. It was fun and got to rep some community members and their awesome projects. https://vidramon.bigcartel.com/product/delicious-quest-unofficial-dq-erdrick-trilogy-cookbook

    S8 E18 - Game of the Week: Final Fantasy VII (1997)

    We were there, in the before time, in the long, long ago. We were there when the secrets were unfurled a mote at a time in print-run magazines, CD roms, and demo discs that came with fighting games. Come, children, and gather round for the elders to tell you of what it was like when the Chosen One was preparing for launch and what came once it was birthed into the world.

    S8 E16 - Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World (What Is It & When Can We Play It?)

    This week, we talk about Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World. We have been excited about this one ever since it was announced, and Beej was excited even before that--having called it as being a part of the 40th Anniversary stream in an episode a few weeks back. We don't know a lot of info about the game yet, but there is a pretty good amount we can read between the lines from the teaser, seeing Bianca and Nera, as well as previous installments in the Monsters series. Are you as excited as we are for this one? Also, we have a shoutout to our friend Ryan Molina for the physical release of his PS4 game, Popcorn Rocket. It's available on Amazon, digital across various platforms, and you can read about it when he talks about its production on Substack. We are also doing a giveaway for Book 4 of the new DQ Erdrick manga, so if you want a chance to win that, just comment on this post. We'll be giving one away to Patrons and one to the general public (and maybe more, depending on our moods! haha)

    S8 E14 - (Game of the Week) LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight

    In this episode, we talk about what might be Austin's game of the year. Yeah, already. This early. Apparently, LEGO Batman is just that good. We reminisce about Arkham games and Spider-man, as well as other LEGO games and how this newest installment really takes the best of all of them and puts them in a pretty amazing package.

    S8 E08 - Zenithia Trilogy Remake (What We'd Love to See)

    There are rumors abound that a Zenithia Trilogy (DQ 4, 5, 6) is in the works, so we have a listener request to do an episode about what we'd like to see in the new games. Do we want full 3d like DQ7 Reimagined or HD-2D like the recent Erdrick Trilogy? What other things should change or get added in? Let us know in the comments!

    S8 E07 - Monster Hunter Stories 3 (It's So Good!)

    Austin did a review of Monster Hunter Stories 3 for work (that you can read below), and he also had to gush about how great it is on the podcast. Since you all love turn-based RPGs, this one is right up your alley. Austin even says it's his favorite monster taming RPG at this point, and that's saying a lot.
