![]() ![]() If you want to hear more about that, go check out Normandy FM, the retrospective we did on Final Fantasy X there. I started with Xenosaga back on the PlayStation 2, because I, as much as I played some PlayStation 1 RPGs, my RPG playing did not really kick off until Final Fantasy X on the PlayStation 2, which was a hugely, hugely influential game and series on me. Why are you foisting more podcasting duties on me? Yeah, so like Xeno whatever, Xeno series, I guess you–Įric: Yes, Xeno: Warrior Princess. But yeah, I mean, the actual question I have for everybody to really start things off is like, what is everybody’s relationship with this series? franchise? meta-narrative? And I’ll start with Eric, since you are the regular host and everything like that, so you get first dibs.Įric: The regular host? Oh God. Nerium: The bad boys and them, one, singular. If we are starting with that though, we can talk about– We are going to be going through, I think probably primarily in order, which means we’ll get to the newest game last, which will be Xenoblade Chronicles 3, but we’ll bounce around and jump around and do whatever we want, because that is how we roll. Imran: Until people stop giving you money, just keep doing what work– or what you think works. Nerium: Listen, it’s the Fanbyte motto of just keep doing shit until eventually people like it. John: Only took only took Takahashi, what, 20, 24 years to get there? Damn. Imran: It is now actually a surprisingly successful RPG series. Just, it didn’t look like it would for a while, but yeah. I bet– I’m almost certain that the Xenoblade Chronicles franchise makes more money now than Xenosaga probably. What this document says is: “Xenogears Blade Saga 2: the quest for less money.” Which is a funny joke. Actually what this document note says here, says, is…I don’t know what I just said, even. Nerium: Uh, games like Xenoblade Chronicles 3, which is actually what I’m talking about. ![]() Nerium: But God, it’s not like I have a bunch of other stuff to play. I feel like the first Alien more than Aliens. Imran: I’m just saying, if you love Aliens, they also very clearly love Aliens.Įric: Or Alien. Everybody keeps telling me to play my Live A Live. There’s just, every podcast I’ve been on for the past like three weeks. Imran: If you love the Aliens franchise, you should play Live A Live. Nerium: So we’re here to talk about the Xenomorphs, which is great stuff. I love the Alien franchise of, you know, Fireteam Elite. I’m here today and here to talk about one of my favorite meta series of all time. I’ve also contracted many illnesses, but I’m here. Nerium: We are also joined by… Wha–? Oh, by God, that’s John Warren’s music! Imran: I feel like, in retrospect, the funnier introduction would’ve been to introduce this as a Normandy FM episode with John and I on it.Įric: Sorry, Ken, I’ve replaced you with three people. Joining me also are two special guests that we just kind of like found on the street, wandering around in the dust and by the tumbleweeds. I’ve been diving deep down the RPG rabbit hole that is Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and I’m ready to eat a lot of crow on this podcast. ![]() Hi, how you doing?Įric: I’m doing all right. Only ever of Destructoid, never of many other websites on this God-given internet. I am joined as is always and forever and has never not been the case, one Eric van Allen of Destructoid. I am one of your hosts, Nerium Strom, Senior Managing Editor of. Nerium: Hello everybody, and welcome back to another episode of 99 Potions, the premier Fanbyte RPG podcast. You can tune in down below or listen on your preferred podcast player of choice. Find out how the studio was founded with a love for giant robots, the typical need to warn people about the embarrassing horny tropes, and how the series sourced Western mythology in the same way that most Western developers do with literally everywhere else in the world. Nerium, Imran and John are joined by our good friend Eric Van Allen to discuss Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and the series’ complex history. ![]()
