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

Dragon Quest FM ·

2019/11/02

Early in the year, way before DQFM was a twinkle in our eyes, Austin and Beej did a Dragon Quest podcast for Beej’s other show, Geek to Geek. Austin was just started off on his yearlong journey to play every mainline Dragon Quest game. Since Austin has had a crazy birthday week and Beej is off to the beach for his 10th wedding anniversary, y’all get the privilege of listening to what might be considered a trial run for your favorite? DQ podcast (this one, in case that wasn’t clear). Enjoy! ---

This week, we’ve got a special episode for our Patreon patron, Ty. We have a thoughtful and friendly discussion about Final Fantasy versus Dragon Quest. We thought it’d be cool to compare numbered Final Fantasy games to its DQ counterparts. We’re both Final Fantasy fans as well, so it was cool to get to discuss I-XI and talk about their strengths and weaknesses. Along the way, we talk about familiar tropes in each series, how the games influenced one another at different times, and which games

Welcome to Episode 14 of Dragon Quest FM! This week we’re talking about Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors, which was released on the Nintendo Wii in 2007. For a game that’s 12 years old, it’s fun and looks pretty. When B.J. was in town with Austin, we decided to play it together. But we only had about 24 hours to speedrun the whole thing, which was tricky. Thus, the Journey to Beat Dragon Quest Swords in a Single Weekend Began! This is a very dramatic story full of
